Overview

My goal is to deliver the best possible care supported the best research. Seeing a surgeon can be frightening. People should be treated not just as patients or diseases, but should leave the office feeling their doctor is their partner and strongest ally in understanding what is wrong and how it can be improved. I do my best to explain things in terms that are easily understandable and allow enough time so each patient has the time needed for me to really listen and not feel rushed.

Dr. Chung is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Diverticular Disease. His top areas of expertise are Hernia, Hemorrhoids, Gallbladder Disease, Umbilical Hernia, and Hernia Surgery.

His clinical research consists of co-authoring 1 peer reviewed article. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.
