"Avoid! Was referred to perform biopsy on a lump in my leg. Walked in to exam room (30 mins after my scheduled time) and stated 'it's a blood vessel thing' then just stared blankly and provided no context. Never even examined me or asked me any questions on why I was there. When I asked questions why her opinion was so different than every other doctor and the MRI report she responded that she was the 'the specialist'. She provided zero direction on next steps and asked me what I want to do??? I've never engaged with such an unprofessional doctor with absolutely zero 'bedside manner' as this so called specialist. Read the rest of the reviews on her to see my experience was no exception."

"Very rude I wouldn’t recommend her to anyone. I would give a 0 if they had it. My husband broke his hip and had three pins placed in august , he came to a follow up appointment after being transferred to her when his surgical doctor left crystal run, and she was extremely dismissive. She’d didn’t even take X-rays to check his progress, she based her knowledge of a 3 week old x ray from the previous doctor. He asked about his progress for a date for release to work, and she was very nasty saying do you want to heal or don’t you and then directed him to find reception without even excusing herself."

"My 10 yo son went to her after some knee problems and inflammation. She immediately diagnosed it as Lyme's and pushed the need to drain fluid out of his knee explaining to him how painful it was and how “it makes adults cry”. After a minute of trying to drain fluid from his knee, using the wrong gauge needle and screaming to her staff to get something else. She finally stopped after my child was in excruciating pain. She gave up, and said the drop she was able to drain was enough. Our pediatrician said her method was incorrect and that blood work was the correct and best way to test for lyme’s. After a couple days after asking for results we received a rude response of “results don’t come that fast. We’ll call you”. It’s been 4 weeks, and still haven’t heard back. Our pediatrician got results in 24 hours. Very dismissive, unprofessional, and careless. Stay clear."

"Dr. Choi was aloof and dismissive of of my condition and concerns. I went to her regarding a tumor which she assured me on three occasions it was benign. I had a surgical biopsy which the results from Garnet Health were inconclusive. I was not prepared for the pain or size of the incision after the biopsy. When asked what recovery time would be I was told "well you won't want to go to work the next day" along with other dismissive statements and was never actually given a time frame. There was no follow up call after the surgery. A follow up appointment was scheduled without my knowledge at that appointment she still was not upfront about my condition and the possibility that the tumor was malignant. When the biopsy was inconclusive I was told it was being sent to Sloan Kettering for further testing. The sample was not sent to SKM for 8 days after I was told this. The biopsy results came back 8 days ago and Dr. Choi still has not contacted me to tell me I have cancer. I obtained the pathology results from my primary (not Crystal Run) and had to read them myself."

"My experience was bad she came brought in a picture of x ray and said my hip was fine I have bad arthritis in the back no exam of any kind said she will prescribe steroids but it was not called in still I dont have the meds."
