Our three kids and parents have been Dr. Choi's happy patients for the last 10+ years. His office staff are also as professional, patient, careful, and courteous. When we first moved to this region, we first went to pediatric care of Rockville, but so happy we moved to Dr. Choi after asking around.

Dr. Choi himself is kind and knowledgeable. However, his office staff is very rude and unprofessional. They don't care and value their patients/clients and do what they want in a very rude and arrogant way. We had an appointment after moving to another area and were driving to their office with a small child for more than 40 minutes. We were stuck in traffic and I called them to apologize that we are a little late.
But the lady on the phone literally said: "if you are late for more than 10 min, DON'T BOTHER to come. We are very busy today". But since we were already driving the highway to the office, we arrived there and another lady from their office told us to come in. And while we were getting off the car with the baby, in 10 sec we get a call from the lady we spoke before saying don't come in, you are late, reschedule. She also started to blame us that we are always late in a very rude and arrogant way. I would never want to return and see their office again, that's a big disappointment.

I started going to Dr. Choi for neck pains that lead to headaches/migraines. After a couple of sessions my neck pain has significantly reduced which in turn has reduced the occurrences of headaches and migraines. Dr. Choi is friendly and knowledgeable, he explains himself well and ensures that you know what he's doing and how it's interacting with your body. I highly recommend Dr. Choi. He hasn't done the traditional adjustments on me where he cracks my neck and back, treatments are more focused on internal inflammation and gradual adjustments to a natural neck and spine position.

Dr. Choi has been my children's pediatrician since they were born, so that means 15 years of warm, caring, and attentive care. Very happy with his entire practice and staff!
