Best doctor you will have. I have a lost history of negligent doctors with horrible bedside manner. Dr. Chun always makes me feel comfortable and any questions I have he has answers for. My insurance ends this year and I am willing to pay out of pocket to see him as he is the best for me.

Really great experience.
My visit to Dr. Chun office was a great experience. This was my first visit to his office,and everyone was so professional and helpful. The Doctor was very knowledgeable about my health condition and that made it easy to communicate the purpose of my visit. Everyone was so amazing including the front desk, the covid-19 people taking temperatures and the receptionist. Caring,Smiling and understanding is a good atmosphere for patients.
Overall very good experience with Dr.Chun. Very patient and helped address all the questions I had. Due to follow up with him in a few weeks and will recommend to others who are looking for a nephrologist.

This is the 3rd time I see Dr. Chun and it’s never been anything less than a pleasant experience. He explains everything in great detail and will spend all the time needed to answer any questions I may have.
Verified patient
Let me say that I was surprised that Dr.Chun actually responded personally to my initial request for appointment, a breath of fresh air. I made this appointment from where we are stationed overseas, at arrival I was not disappointed. Dr.Chun listened to all my concerns without judgement, made me feel at ease and completely addressed all my current fears. He described medical terminology in layman's terms to assist with my comprehension. Based on our initial consultation, ordered the appropriate tests to rule out my concerns and thereafter provided clear review of the results. His office staff were kind and intra office patient processes flew by without hiccups. Many thanks Dr.Chun.
Verified patient
Dr Chun is a highly skilled and knowledgeable doctor. He explains things in terms you can understand. He is communicative and takes care in all aspects of testing. He very much wants you to be informed about your condition. Highly recommend.
Verified patient
Dr. Chun was ok. Pretty condescending and dismissive. At first he did not even want to do a urine sample which is easy and simple. It also ended up giving us the results needed. He is ok and gets the job done but overall his attitude would keep me from ever going back or recommending him.
One of the best Doctor's I've ever seen, very attentive and answered all my questions. He calmed me down with his knowledge, because I tend to panic if I think something is wrong. Thought I had Ckd, but I don't thankfully.
So of course when you read reviews you’re thinking are these real? Dr. Chun is everything that the reviews say. He has an abundance of knowledge and information and great bedside manner. He is very professional and would recommend this doctor.
Verified patient
