Dr. Chung is outstanding because he listens first, answers ALL questions and then provides his advice. He is very personable and puts me at ease, even when he recommends that another procedure is required to get be back on the right track. I rest easy knowing that I'm in the best hands possible, except for God (smile)! I wish there were more physicians like Dr. Chung, you have a real winner having him as part of the Christ Hospital Team and I feel very blessed that I'm under his care!!!

Dr Chung is outstanding. He takes his time, explains my condition very clearly and makes his recommendations for treatment going forward. If there's something we don't understand he goes over it again. He's even made videos on my phone of his explanations and recommendations for us to refer to.
