Then, I help them understand the available options, from conservative treatments to surgery. I guide them, but ultimately it’s up to patients to choose the path they want to take. If one treatment doesn’t work, we’ll keep looking for another option.”. Dr. Choi is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Cervical Spondylosis.
