Their billing office made two huge mistakes that if I didn't catch, would have cost me HUNDREDS of dollars. She has a trembling arthritic hand so you if you need any procedures done that would require a precise steady hand, keep that in mind. When it comes to discussing sensitive issues, her bedside manner is a C+. I didn't always feel so comfortable. read more

Reading the several existing reviews for Stephanie Chun I feel compelled to add my $0.02. Over the past 10 years that I've been a patient of Dr. Chun she has treated me for abnormal bleeding, ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids. We've tried everything from the pill, to the Mirena IUD and two uterine hysteroscopy's to explore abnormal uterine bleeding which I seem to be plagued with! In 2006 I had severe abominable pain and I was bleeding so much that I had to come in to her offices for an emergency visit and this was when it was crystal clear to me how kind and supportive Dr. Chun had been to me. Dr. Chun was out that day and I had to see another OBGYN in her office who quite frankly had a horrible bedside manner despite the fact that she suggested I might have Endometriosis. Long story short, I was pretty upset by the notion of this possibility but agreed to exploratory, laparoscopic surgery. Dr. Chun had already done two hysteroscopys on me before so I entrusted her with this procedure. Dr. Chun was extremely thorough and sympathetic, continuing to communicate the risks with me and keep my potential desire to carry a child in mind--assuring me that she would do everything she could to preserve my ovaries and uterus but plainly stating that I could wake up after surgery with part of my reproductive system removed if she discovered endometriosis or cancer. I fully trusted Dr. Chun and I have to also say that she has the best pre-surgery music choices as well! She played Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire as I went under before my last surgery (she has a great sense of humor!) Any how, luckily I awoke in the recovery room to Dr. Chun's lovely smiling face assuring me that I had a super healthy uterus, she found no sign of endometriosis but had found a sizeable fribroid embedded in the uterun/muscle tissue which she removed. I love and trust Dr. Chun and I feel that she has taken excellent care of me despite the fact that my uterus just loves to grow stuff! Beth read more

I saw Stephanie Chun yesterday and she is by far the best OBGYN I have ever met, let alone seen. She is very sweet, helpful, and understanding. You can literally sit there and talk to her like she is your best friend! I would definitely recommend her to anybody and if you're looking for a new doctor, she is the one! read more

I don't typically leave bad reviews but gals, beware. Dr. Chun's office is a mess. 1. First appointment I waited for 2 hours for my annual. 2. Had a follow up biopsy 2 weeks later where I waited in her office for 2 hours. After waiting 2 hours the staff let me know Dr. Chun wouldn't be available for the appointment. (no biopsy was ever conducted) 3. Made another annual appointment, as I wanted to give her team the benefit of the doubt. Things happen. I called- yes, I called, the day before my appointment around 4pm to confirm that Dr. Chun was still able to see me. Her staff let me know at 4pm the day before my appointment that Dr. Chun was going to have to reschedule due to an emergency. 4. Walked into Dr. Chun's office, after I had to reschedule for the FOURTH time, and her staff let me know she was running an hour to an hour-and-a- late due to a SCHEDULED C-Section. Dr. Chun, I gave you and your team many chances and I can honestly say this is the WORST experience I have ever had with a doctor. read more

Horrible Horrible Service all around, here's why: 1. Almost always backed up, and on more than one occasion - reached the facility only to be turned away at the last minute due to an emergency baby delivery or complicated birthing session - the delivery issues I understand, but the lack of so much as a phone call informing me before taking a 20 min bus ride out there? Unacceptable. 2. Rushed service: Dr. Chun seems more concerned with seeing as many patients in the smallest amount of time, as a result things get missed. Case and point: I've been there 3 examinations, and each time she rushed through the examination, not even taking the time to know of any health concerns or questions that i may have (you know, like normal doctor's do.) HERE'S WHAT SHE MISSED as a result: If she had bothered to follow up on my complaint of a lot of PMS pain, she'd have investigated. After getting fed up and leaving for another doctor, imagine my surprise to find out that I have Fibroids - and I didn't even have to mention the painful PMS because I was so used to "take motrin" answers that i just put it on the back burner. My new doctor, Dr. Karen Gregory did a thorough examination and felt something abnormal - called me back for an ultrasound and Voila! Culprit found! 3. Dr. Chun's bedside manner leaves a heck of a whole lot to be desired. I don't know about others, but annual exams aren't really my thing but I do it because i have to - now this is the first Dr. I have been to that made it seem as though she didn't want to touch me during an exam; I had been to her twice before and each time i figured "hey, maybe it's just an off day - maybe it'll be better next time" - yeah, each subsequent experience was worse than the last. I mean I already feel bad enough laying there exposed, a little empathy shouldn't be much to ask for. Anyway, I'll stop now as I've already written a whole book - bottom line: Save yourself the bad experience, go somewhere else, anywhere else, just not her. read more

Going to see the gyn is never any fun. I can't believe that I now seen Dr. Chun now for over 10 years. She's wonderful, thorough and gentle. Six years ago, I asked her to check out a lump I discovered on my left breast. Although I had a clear mammogram from just a few months prior, she referred me to a breast surgeon, Dr Nima Grissom. It turned out I had breast cancer!!! Throughout the whole ordeal, surgery, radiation and post hormonal therapy, I can now call myself a breast cancer survivor ad of May 2014. My sincere gratitude to Dr Chun, Dr Grissom and the UCSF Breast Center. read more

Here is what comes to mind when I think of Dr Chun: Empathetic, competent, smart, sweet, professional, patient and caring. I first went to Dr Chun in 2002 based on recommendation from a friend. Dr Chun was going thru the regular getting-to-know-you questionnaire when one question triggered a highly emotional response. I happened to be in the midst of my marital breakdown. Dr Chun was amazingly sympathetic. She listened patiently as I sputtered along and spilled my guts about this painful life situation. She isn't a psychotherapist, but she could be. She calmed me in the most comforting and supportive manner. I was thoroughly embarrassed for breaking down, but she managed to get me through the exam with laughter. She never once rushed me nor made me feel I was crossing the line beyond her level of care. I felt like I was with a trusted friend. Over the last decade+, she has continued to be the best doctor one could ask for. She knows me as more than just a patient, she takes the time to know about my life and my feelings as well as my preferences in health care. I have never ever felt rushed and she is always ready to answer whatever questions I bring. She even took the time review my lab test results with me in great detail, explaining the significance of the things I didn't understand. We have continued to track the indicators related to things that run in my family like thyroid conditions, fibroids, etc. I even recently brought in my mother - who is extremely averse to any medical care and hadn't seen a GYN since she had a hysterectomy 30+ years ago. Dr Chun was so good with her, making her instantly comfortable and had her laughing in no time. She contacted me directly when the lab results came back to let us know the results. If you go in with your questions ready, she will take the time to answer, providing options along with pros and cons of each so you can make an informed decision regarding your care. read more

Dr. Chun is a great doctor. She is no-nonsense yet at the same time goes out of her way to accommodate her patients' needs and concerns. She talks through options and treatment choices in a clear and understanding manner. I personally appreciate her frankness. There are far too many doctors who cajole you into making decisions without fully explaining your options and their recommendations. That is certainly not the case with Dr. Chun. As for the speed of appointments - I must say I've never felt rushed. Dr. Chun may not take a lot of extra time to gossip, but that is not what I go to see her for. She has always taken as much time as I needed to answer my medical questions. Yes, there has been a time or two when I've had to have my appointment changed due to an emergency delivery, but that is to be expected. I also very much like all of the staff working in the office. read more

I hardly do reviews about doctors. But watch out! This doctor likes to rush patients and does not like to answer your questions. She is a very cold and not interested in your needs. I had a breast discharge and she did not even bother looking at it and just told me to go get a mammogram. Since it came back normal, she did not bother investigating the issue further. Thank God I found a new OB now that has referred me to a breast specialist who is concerned about my issue before I get pregnant. My new dr. told me we need to have that taken care since I could have a duct infection. Also, I had US and the tech told me I had 2 polyps, dr Chun did the surgery to remove that and only removed the bigger one, it turns out that after the surgery I did an US during my IVF treatment and the smaller polyp was still there so she failed to remove it. I will need to have surgery again before my egg transfer. Chun also cancelled my surgery and I had to reschedule again. read more

I went in to see Dr. Chun for the first time last week. The office is small and intimate and the receptionist was nice. I had to fill out tons of paperwork since I was a new patient. There were some weird personal questions on there that I didn't understand the purpose of.. but whatever. I got called in and brought into one of the patient rooms. The rooms are decked out in pink, very appropriate. I was seen by Dr. Chun and she is a straight forward, to the point kind of doctor and it so happens that those are the doctors I like. So yes, my appointment went well and I would reccomend her. read more

I will NOT be going back to this office or to this doctor. I needed a minor procedure performed, unexpectedly, and was happy they were able to see me so quickly. Unfortunately, I cannot say anything positive about my experience there. The doctor seemed nice enough, if not overly friendly, upon first meeting. But she was short with me and when I explained the problem I was having, she did not talk through any possible causes, just quickly said "here's what I think we should do.." and was about to begin without my consent! When I stopped her, she then gave me an option B, and when I said I wanted to think about, she barely spoke to me about the pros and cons of both options, and left the room almost immediately. Her assistant came back 10 minutes later to ask what I wanted to do. Then the doctor came back in to begin. She was going to perform something incredibly painful. She told me she began cleaning, but then gave me NO WARNING that the painful part of the procedure was about to begin. I've never experienced short/intense pain like this in my life. She stopped half way through because she said "I wasn't doing well/seemed really uncomfortable." I asked her to finish, and she refused. I am hopeful that the issue will resolve itself in time, but only time will tell. I am angry and frustrated with this entire experience, which left me feeling confused. She had no care for my well-being whatsoever, only seemed to want to finish the visit as quickly as possible. When I asked for a record of my appointment at the end, they looked at me like I wasn't making any sense. Is it normal to not be able to have a receipt/record of what was performed? I could go on, but I think I've made the point. AWFUL experience on all fronts. read more

She tries to get in and out of the appointment as soon as possible. She has virtually no emotion. Not very helpful with answering questions. She does seemed to get annoyed at questions. but isn't that the point of seeing a doctor? to get your questions and concerns answered? read more

I love Dr. Chun she is a great doctor. I am sad that I can no longer see her due to a change in my insurance provider. She had performed 2 biopsies on me after abnormal paps and she was very good at the procedure. I think she is one of the best doctors I have met. She always made me feel comfortable, was honest with me and listened to all my concerns. A few years ago, when I was still one of her patients she even referred me to a good primary care doctor. I have read a few of the other reviews on here and they do not describe the positive experiences I have had with Dr. Chun. I still to this day highly recommend her to people looking for an OB doctor. I am sad that she was not the one to deliver my first child and that I cannot continue to see her for my doctor. I really wish she accepted my new insurance. In the future when I have a different insurance provider I definitely plan to go back to Dr. Chun. read more
