DO NOT USE My provider submitted a referral two weeks ago as…read morehigh priorty. After not receiving a call to schedule an appointment I called three times to connect with someone. I was told I would be called back, but wasn't. Today I spoke to an unbelievably RUDE woman and explained my situation. She said they couldn't set the appointment because my doctor didn't include my test results. I said did you ask her for them? She said, no, that's something you would need to do. I then said, how am I to do that if you never let me know it was missing. She "well I'm telling you now". I said the referral was placed two weeks ago. No apologies, no empathy, she curtly, we have 60 referrals right now. Well, I guess I'll just just have to go ask for another referral and they can tell me I have cervical cancer. It's absurd.

For just a regular check up or pap, they're are fine. Clean, friendly enough, etc. But if you find…read moreout or think you may be pregnant DO NOT GO HERE. Unless you like feeling dumb. I told them my questions and concerns which they didn't give two seconds thought. At first they told me no I wasn't pregnant. Then after I showed pics of the at home tests, she said okay I guess you are... Umm you guess? She proceeded to tell me that they would schedule me to come back in 3 weeks and 5 for an ultrasound. Being so stressed not knowing if I was or wasn't, I called about a week later and asked that at the 3 week later appointment could they do an ultrasound? Mind you I hadn't had my period in 3 months so I had no idea how far along I was or if her "guess" was correct. The girl On the phone said hold on and then came back and said no, you're lucky we are doing it in 5 weeks cause you "probably" aren't far enough along to where we would usually do an ultrasound. I said okay well can we do a blood test at least instead of just peeing in a cup and guessing if it's positive or not? She chuckled at me and said no it wasn't necessary. Frustrated, I reminded them I have good insurance so it would be paid for. She (in other words) told me all my nervousness, sickness, stress, extreme cramping, etc were normal pregnancy symptoms and I was lucky to be getting the appointment in 3 weeks and an ultrasound in 5. I'm high risk so it was super unsettling. I told her I would find another doctor cause this was too much stress. She replied with yea, good luck! And hung up. If you need a pap, this place is normal. But I would highly not recommend for any prenatal care.

In a form of review, I want to take you back to a few snap shots of my life. Sooo, lets rewind and…read moretake a looksie back...at what happened 9-months-6-weeks-3-days ago... We were literally waiting to start the IVF cycle when I found out I was pregnant. Having gone through a tubal ligation reversal, we had been told to see a doctor right away, to rule out any possibility of a tubal pregnancy. This of course means that my normally impatient self was even MORE impatient to get in and see a doctor... 3.5 weeks and Scott and I were able to get in for an appointment with Dr. Cho, even though they don't normally see a patient so early in a pregnancy. Dr. Cho is shocked that I even know that I'm pregnant so early on. He even asked me why I took a pregnancy test so soon and I just sort of shrugged and laughed, which was much better than having to admit that I buy them in bulk and take them like they had become my new hobby. Since 3.5 weeks was too soon to see anything on an ultrasound, the doctor sent me for blood work. My HCG levels came back and yup... pregnant! Feb 22nd they were 323 and on the 25th they jumped to 1453! (They're supposed to double every couple of days.) 5 weeks in I developed a HUGE cold. Obviously I didn't take anything for it, just spent the weekend in bed blowing my nose and feeling miserable. 5 and a half weeks in I am feeling better, but decided to stay home from work and get a little bit more rest. I was walking to the kitchen when I realize that something wasn't right. I was bleeding. I called my doctors office and they told me they could get me in later that afternoon. I just knew that I'd lost the baby. I sat down on my sofa and cried.... Later that day in my doctor's office, the doctor dimmed the lights and performed an ultrasound. And we got to see that the baby was located in the right spot and after magnifying the image, the doctor said that he could see what looked like heart activity. He said this made him "Cautiously optimistic" and things were probably fine and the baby was ok. I spotted for a week and a half. Each day that I spotted I was miserable. Scott was patient with me as I had several emotional ups and downs. At 7.5 weeks in and we have another doctor's appointment. This time there is no doubt about seeing a heart beat! The baby is the appropriate size and has a heartbeat. The doctor tells us that after seeing a heartbeat, the risk of miscarriage goes down.... However, because of my age- there is still a higher risk for me. But, again, he's optimistic. FAST FORWARD to present day... I have a beautiful 6 week old baby boy!!! I have nothing butgreat things to say about Dr Cho and his office staff. I found everyone to be exceptionally friendly and helpful. Each month at our doctors visit, when we met with Dr. Cho, we felt we had his undivided attention and we never felt rushed.... I've been to dr's offices where I feel like I'm on the clock the second they walk in the door and they have other places to be. You won't find that at Dr. Cho's office, he always made sure to ask if I had any questions and took the time to answer them when I did. Having a baby is a very personal experience, one of the most important (AND STRESSFUL) events in a couples life... having the right doctor is important. I highly recommend Dr. Cho, I wouldn't even hesitate to see him again for future pregnancies!

We have heard wonderful things about Dr. Cho over the years from our friends who went to him for…read moretheir OB/GYN care when they were expecting some years ago. We also are somewhat familiar with Dr. Cho through the local Seventh-day Adventist Church. Because of this, we were surprised when a family member saw Dr. Cho briefly for a health concern. He mocked our loved one with the first words out of his mouth after reviewing data on the computer screen, suggesting the symptoms were in her head and she "likes doctors" with a smirk on his face. The visit was soon after as our family left as soon as we could without being rude. Our loved one did not get the care they needed that day, but went home feeling shamed while still concerned about the untreated health concern. Hopefully this was a random negative experience and not typical of Dr. Cho.

As mentioned before he is a great listener and takes his time with his patients, which - unfortunately - has become so rare nowadays. He also told me that some of his patients choose him as their primary physician which made me feel even more secure because I kind of felt that he sees the whole picture, not only the "female matters". His years of experience are not only shown in his examination, he also does the full package of the gyn/ob spectrum including fertility treatment. As someone who knows a thing or two about medicine, I would recommend him unconditionally.
