Seung-Ho Choi, MD

Dr. Seung Ho Choi is one of the worst doctors I have ever met! It took a very long time to get an appointment. When I finally got an appointment and arrived at his office, I noticed that he seemed to rush the non-​elderly patients, who were probably on Medi-​Cal, that came to see him while he spent more time doting on his elderly patients on Medicare. A doctor shouldn’t treat his patients differently just because he will get reimbursed at a much higher rate for his Medicare patients. After he viewed my exam results, he told me that there was nothing wrong with me even though I still experience severe symptoms and pain. When I tried to tell him about my symptoms and how they remain, he tried to dismiss my concerns and rush me out of his office. I was shocked at his uncaring, dismissive, and unprofessional attitude and demeanor towards my illness and worries. He wrote out a prescription in a hurry and when I told him that that medication was not working, he acted as if he were frustrated and annoyed and flat out told me to find another physician. I was completely shocked by Dr. Choi’s lack of care and unsympathetic tone and treatment towards me. I am finding another doctor and I would not recommend him to anyone!

The place is always crowded and the wait is long. The medical assistant is not so helpful. Dr Choi has a Nurse Practitioner — J Dinsay. It is easier to get appointment with her. I was hesitant to see her but I was glad I did. She takes her time, listens and does not rush you out. She is very knowledgeable, caring and takes care of the problem. I will recommended her to my family and friends. So far, we are happy.

Awful, awful office. He was my primary care physician and I was unable to get an appointment with him. In two weeks I called the office every day, left a message every day and zero of my messages were returned. His assistant answered twice and once said she would check to confirm my insurance specified Choi despite my insistence that it did, and she never called back. Two weeks later when I got her on the phone she said she would have to check with Dr. Choi to see when he could take an appointment (what?) and for me to call me back. When I told her she never answers the phone or returns messages so how am I supposed to get an appointment, she told me, «Then you can get another doctor.» And her job is looking out for people’s health? What a horrible person and a horrible office.

I went to see Dr. Choi, but he was unavailable, saw Nurse Practitioner J. Dinsay instead. Glad I saw her, she intently listened to my concerns and patiently explained and provided me with medical advice, very knowledgeable indeed. Has been seeing her ever since, highly recommend.

Terrible. Especially the nurse practitioner. She is as rude and inconsiderate as they come. If rudeness wasn’t enough she is incompetent. She can’t keep patient names correct, she cannot keep diagnosis correct with each patient, and her interest in helping a patient is minimal at best. And, where is the doctor? No where to be found…
