Everything great until the end of my appointment. A nurse interrupted my appointment to request that Dr.Roh return another Dr’s call right away. I told him I could wait, but he kind of ended our appointment prematurely. Kind of taken aback by the situation, but I understand he is very reputable and it may have been very important.
Dr Roh was very comforting as he explained my diagnosis and surgery. He listened patiently to my concerns and was very empathetic. I would encourage anyone scared about pending iagnosis or surgery to see Dr Roh for a consult, he will put you at ease. I feel very confident about him performing my surgery. His good reputation certainly is deserved in my eyes.
On time and courteous.
Very good he explains clear about problem and enough solutions thank you
Dr. Roh's knowledge and passion shine bright and he carries it with confidence, yet speaks to his patients in clear layman's terms to ensure there is full understanding of the medical issue at hand. Incredible level of professionalism and compassion combined. Highly recommend!

Dr Roh is a awesome surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone.
I’m very happy with the Outcome of my surgery and care I received from Doctor Roh and his staff. I would recommend him anytime for a surgery!
