Very easy to talk to. Listened to our questions without judging, even though the student with him seemed to not like one of our questions by making a displeased face when we asked. The doctor answered every question we had, explained everything to our satisfaction, and spent a good amount of time with us never making us feel like he was in a hurry. He seemed very willing to work with us on suggestions we had. We are very pleased with Dr. Chae.

Dr. Chae is such an amazing doctor and a wonderful person! He was on time and I felt he fully understood my situation. I prepared 15 questions ahead of my appointment, after his detailed briefing, he had answered 10 plus my questions already. So I knew he really understood what patients needed. I trust his judgment/ plans and I believe I can get the best care from him and his team.
