This review is long overdue and cannot begin to detail how incredible a plastic surgeon and human being Dr. Choi is and how her care and concern last well beyond the day in the operating room. Her surgical skills are amazing and her attention to detail so much appreciated by my Type A self! I was diagnosed with breast cancer 22 months ago, and at the recommendation of my surgical oncologist, I met with Dr. Choi, who was incredibly compassionate and comforting to a woman who had just learned the day before that her breast cancer would necessitate a mastectomy. To say that my head was spinning and that I was super stressed would be an understatement. I walked into Dr. Choi’s office crying, but knowing exactly what surgical path I wanted to take. After a physical exam and review of my medical history, we had an extensive conversation about the procedure and recovery. She and her professional, friendly, and helpful medical and administrative staff somehow managed to pull off scheduling all the necessary pre-surgical testing and other arrangements so that I was in the operating room nine days after my initial appointment with her. SuperSurgeon and SuperStaff, indeed. At my second pre-op appointment, Dr. Choi reviewed everything we had discussed the week prior and wanted to be sure I fully understood the procedure and the recovery, both short term and long term, as well as follow-up procedures, should I choose to continue the reconstruction to its most aesthetic conclusion (YES!). She never rushed me, giving me all the time I needed to ask questions and to cry, of course. I was 100% confident in her abilities and that of my surgical oncologist and was eager to have my surgery so that I could get on the road to recovery. Never having really thought much about my breasts before my diagnosis, I all of a sudden cared so much about them, so to have a surgeon like Dr. Choi understand what was important to me was comforting. Of course, having healthy breasts is the most important factor here, but I must say that I’m quite pleased with my beautiful new breasts that Dr. Choi “sculpted” for me. I would never have believed that such a perfect result could be possible, and that my breasts could actually have a better shape after reconstruction than did my original pair. I have seen Dr. Choi on a regular basis since my surgery, and at each visit, she is as kind and caring as she was when we first met. Her staff is just as committed to excellence as is Dr. Choi. I would recommend Dr. Choi to anyone facing breast reconstruction or for any plastic surgery needs. To be faced with such a devastating diagnosis, then to have such a positive outcome has been life changing for me, both physically and psychologically. Dr. Choi played, and continues to play, a major role in this adventure. Thank you, Dr. Choi!

I had a wonderful experience from start to finish with Dr. Choi, Brooke and her entire staff. I received top notch care, expert advice and was always treated with the utmost respect. I had a preventative mastectomy and the entire process was seamless - I am so thankful to have found her. My experience was wonderful, she is a miracle worker and I would highly recommend her.

Dr. Choi and her team are amazing. During my breast cancer journey she talked me through step by step on what I could expect from my mastectomy and reconstruction surgeries. Dr. Choi and Brooke were both compassionate, comforting and always took time to answer the many, many questions that I had. The end results after the surgery are amazing. Thank you so much!

Dr. Choi is an extraordinary surgeon, and one of the most compassionate and genuinely caring doctors I've ever met. For anyone seeking breast reconstruction after a breast cancer diagnosis, she is the best. And Brooke Miller as well. I feel so lucky to have been in their excellent care for such a scary time in my life.

An extraordinary , exceptional doctor with equally incredible nurses and staff. I had breast reduction and then many months later, a tummy tuck with liposuction. All are highly skilled and supportive.. Kind and understanding. No judgements! I just love this office and the unsurpassed professionals. I, too, love the specific plastic surgery medical hospital and team. Thank you Dr. Choi, Brooke, Loretta, Elise and all medical caregivers and administrative experts. Very grateful.

I went to her for breast implant revision. She shared that she is not able to get out all of the silicone when removing an implant with a rupture. I was surprised since she does breast augmentation using silicone implants and all have to be removed or exchanged at some point as they don't last forever. I went to her because of all her high ratings but I have to wonder about them. It's such a related skill to remove implants that one inserts and there must be techniques for removal of leaked silicone, if it's necessary to remove it 100%. Her lack of confidence in her ability gave me pause. A patient needs a doctor who is confident and of course the confidence must be justified.

Hi to all reading this review and welcome to my journey. I 1st visited Dr. Choi in early 2019 after being diagnosed with stage 0 breast cancer and Braca 2 positive. I made the choice to have a bilateral mastectomy. When I met with Dr. Choi I had very large breast. Although I was ready for the mastectomy, I was not ready to lose my nipples. Dr. Choi saw my reaction, listened to my words and said ok, let's complete testing and let me study your breast. A few weeks later Dr. Choi was READY for the work! Fast forward a year later I am the proud owner of a new set of the most amazing breat I have ever seen in my entire life! Seriously, every part from scaring to volume to implant placement to my nipples, all is perfect! The steps Dr. Choi took to create my new breast were so personally designed to the details of every single conversation we had. After the first surgery, I went from being afraid of surgery to looking forward to the
next one. The few times I had to stay in the hospital longer than a day, Dr. Choi came to visit me and see how I was healing. She always talked to me from a realistic perspective, even focusing on things like me being African American and how scarring or healing shades can be different. The internet does not provide many images of woman that look like me with full reconstruction but, Dr. Choi and Brooke did everything they could to ease my mind. I ONLY cried twice in Dr. Choi's office, 1st when I thought I had to lose my nipples and 2nd, a year later when I saw my final results....tears of unbelievable joy!!!! My new breast look so amazingly sexy, they are exactly what I wanted. I wish I could attach a picture to show all of you. Wherever you are in your journey, rather it be strictly cosmetic or reconstruction... I highly recommend Dr. Choi and her team. They are amazing!

Dr. Choi performed medically necessary breast reduction for me in February 2019. The results are outstanding. The scarring is very minimal and the size after full recovery is exactly what we discussed. The entire experience was fantastic. When I had an allergic reaction to my internal sutures, her staff was immediately accessible and responsive. I am planning another surgery with her in spring 2020 to repair diastasis recti. I would not even consider another plastic surgeon. Her bedside manner is rare to find these days and her surgical skills are very precise.
