    I felt Dr Cho and the staff were there to see me, to hear my thoughts and concerns while never feeling I was being rushed. A genuine feeling that I was the reason for them being there. Thank you

    I would like to thank Dr. Cho and his staff or team members. They were always checking on me and everyone was very courteous and everyone was attentive and inquisitive about ailments, pains, or what have you. Dr. Cho was very responsive, even though quite busy. He did give me information about the surgery and the details. So I thank him.

    My experience was exceptional! I was pleased with my treatment by all of the staff. Dr. Cho was very patient and explained the procedure to me and my wife in layman's terms. His clerical assistant was very friendly and made me feel at ease concerning questions I had about my recovery, also. I would/will definitely recommend Dr. Cho and staff to anyone needing open heart surgery. God bless them all!
