Michael Cho, MD FACS

Just like the other reviews, I am astounded to receive a ridiculously high bill. Dr. Cho will perform procedures without giving estimates of my copay. Others will explain the procedure, the copay estimate and asks patients to sign agreement. Not here. In spite of my insurance, I was left with hundreds to pay. The office is not even flexible in payment discounts. Will not go back here anymore.

I too was a victim of the worst experience I have ever encountered in the medical field! Dr. Cho spent all of 10 minutes with me. Got an outrages bill! I should have walked out when he said I only see patients that require surgery! It seems based on the other reviews they make a habit off doing unnecessary procedures knowing that most insurance companies will not cover. I have to wonder if there CMO’s are turning a blind side to there practices. It is my concern that if I was not a typical patient and I certainly did not meet the criteria of an unwarranted procedure, why he went ahead and performed it !! and the fact that he did not go over how and what the insurance was or was not covered. It took me a long time to get over the trauma of that 10 min visit. Now I am obligated to pay off the outrageous bill for a procedure that should never have happened. Let me also say he did nothing to help solve my problem and he never gave me any other alternatives pre or post nor did he follow-​up. This review is for the Irvine office and Dr. Cho.

Dr. Cho performed a parathyroidectomy on me. He was very informative prior to the surgery and worked closely with my other doctors to arrive at a conclusion that surgery was necessary. The surgery took two hours and I was released that day. I’m very happy I chose Dr. Cho.

My boys have been treated by Dr Cho, he is a very kind and compassionate dr. He takes the time to discuss treatment options before having to resort to surgery which I appreciate! My boys enjoy going to see him!

Went to Dr. Cho from a strong recommendation and I wasn’t disappointed. For years I’ve been suffering from post nasal drip allergies as well as a stuffy nose that would contribute to sleep apnea. I underwent surgery with Dr. Cho to clear out some tissue in the noise and straighten out a deviated septum and. wahlah! I’ve had a completely clear nose and been sleeping like an angel since.
Dr. Cho is a very approachable doctor that will sit down and look you in the eye to listen to your concerns and figure what is going on with you. He really takes his time with you and is very thorough. I felt comfortable with him and felt like he actually cared about my well being. It was clear why he was so highly recommended. I would highly recommend him myself for any ear, nose, and throat issues.
