Terrible experience
I had submitted another review with details about how awful my experience was but it did not get approved. I will just say this was a bad experience. Including being accused of not having a disease I was diagnosed with 6 years ago by a renowned Harvard doctor. I had to argue that I really had the illness. I read other reviews and wished I would have listened.

I have been a patient of Dr. Chung for several years. He is a great doctor. He is very patient and explains everything and all options available. He listens to my concerns and answers all of my questions. The staff is wonderful as well.

Knee issues and pain.
Dr. Chung was patient with me and asked a lot of questions to help with the diagnosis. He explained every step of the procedure which was very helpful. I had a very successful outcome and would highly recommend Dr. Chung.

Overall horrible bedside manner. Receptionist and doctor both condescending. Receptionist does not pick up when you call and you have to leave a message. Usually takes a full business day/two for him to call you back. At the beginning of COVID, appointments were via Zoom. Our mother was struggling with the app and the doctor was clearly getting aggitated and frustrated. Our mother has been going to this doctor for years and he's always been very curt. Recently she went to get a shot and had a bad reaction and subsequently taken to the ER. After she was released she called the doctor because she was still having some residual side effects. The receptionist basically said after she got released from the ER their responsibility ends there. The proof is in the pudding...All the prior negative reviews align to my mother's experience. If anything, patients deserve better and everyone can do better than to see this doctor and the staff.

Saw Dr. Chung after my orthopedist decided that my something else besides arthritis was affecting my joints and muscles. Dr. Chung ruled out rheumatoid arthritis but perserved. Turned out I had Lyme disease. He is very professional and very smart.

Finding the right physician/specialty for my need was important as I have multiple issues. Dr. Chung nailed my issues and set me up with a decisive plan of action. Its been 6 months now and I feel pretty good and see myself improving daily. If you have an issues that is chronic, do yourself a favor and go see Dr. Chung.

We were having the hardest time finding what was wrong with my wife. Went to multiple doctors and couldn't nail it down until Dr. Chung. Thru this process, I became more educated about rheumatology. they deal with complex auto immune and of course bone issues. As a fellow consumer/patient, a visit to a rheumatolgist may save you time and grief. Dr. Chung and his entire staff is efficient and courteous. But above all, Dr. Chung seems to know his craft.

I went to several Dr.'s before I found one who could really figure out what was going on with me, and wouldn't just prescribe the latest drug out there. Great doctor. Highly recommend.

Awful bedside manner and seemed to actually hate his job. Not really clear why he is even allowed to see patients. Will be complaining to state licensing board.

Rude, dismissive, uninterested, condescending, and—worst of all—INCOMPETENT. It's like talking to a brick wall... If you have a complex medical history, multiple illnesses, or a lot of details you feel are necessary to communicate (i.e. ANY information that you know a Doctor would NEED to accurately diagnose you and take a suitable, informed approach to your treatment), GO ELSEWHERE. He'll ignore half of what you say, and tell you the other half is wrong.. He should never have become a Dr.

If you are seeking a doctor for any reason, I would not recommend Dr. Chung. He is rude, ill informed, and acts though he hates what he does. Not everyone has what it takes to be a care giver or is meant to be health provider and Dr. Chung is clearly one of those people.

He put me on an IV drug. I learned from a home nurse treating me that other doctors who put patients on this drug also prescribed another drug and weekly blood tests, to prevent gallbladder damage and check for stress on the liver. I called Dr. Chung to ask about this, and he immediately became verbally abusive. I went to another doctor, and when I told him I had been put on the IV without weekly blood tests, he looked shocked and said, That's not right. Dr. Chung is irresponsible and nasty.
