Dr. Daniel Choi is an exceptional surgeon and physician. I underwent ACDF surgery with him in June 2025, and from my initial consultation through surgery and ongoing follow-up care, the experience has been outstanding.
As a nurse, I am particularly attentive to clinical excellence, communication, and patient-centered care. Dr. Choi exemplifies all of these. He is highly knowledgeable, meticulous, and at the same time compassionate and patient. He consistently takes the time to explain findings, treatment plans, and next steps clearly, ensuring I feel informed and confident in my care.
My surgery and recovery have gone well, and my continued follow-up care has been thorough, thoughtful, and reassuring. It is evident that Dr. Choi is deeply committed to his patients’ outcomes and long-term well-being, not just the procedure itself.
It is rare to find a physician who combines exceptional technical skill with genuine kindness and professionalism. I highly recommend him/team!

Dr Choi has performed two successful surgeries. The surgeries were not connected but we're both on my neck . I was very satisfied with the both of surgeries. He explained everything step by step. I was also happy with his surgical coordinator she also took the time to explain everything. I would recommend Dr Choi to family and friends
