Dr Choi took time to explain the issues and pains I had and then made sure I knew what to expect if I was to go down the surgery path. After I had chosen the surgery path, he made sure to make sure I was being taken care of properly for my after treatment and therapy. After a therapy incident, he called the therapy facility and told them they weren't following his protocol and also said that they needed to make sure they did or I would have major pain and possible injury. With his call and care for my treatment, the therapy started going better and because of his time and care, my healing progression really took off for the positive. After days of unwanted pain from the therapy, this was a blessing to see a doctor care and actually do something to help his patient.
