“Dr Cha is great! He provides excellent diagnosis, is realistic about treatment choices - not in a hurry to do surgery or other invasive procedure but tries to work out other options that provide relief. This was the longest wait time I've experienced, and Dr Cha apologized for the wait... end of year with lots of kids looking to get treatment”

“Dr Cha is very efficient yet addresses any issues I bring. I trust his advice regarding my treatment plan. ”
