1st and last visit with this physician. Did not take enough time to discuss my issues thoroughly and although I’ve historically had disk/low back issues with pain, in this instance the foot and leg pain had a different root cause. Was sent to PT for lumbar and my issue ended up being unrelated to my back. Been coming to this practice for many years (>20 years) so really disappointed.
Pleasantly surprised. Excellent
Very thorough and pleasant. Was very satisfied with my entire visit.
I felt very comfortable with Dr Chui.
Very thorough and patient.
Several disappointing things: made me get an MRI to prepare for injection and then told me after injection failed to give relief, that the MRI wasn’t needed because he injects a broad area & hopes it will hit the target. Also made me get a driver for local anesthesia for injection. Previously didn’t require a driver under Dr. Moran. My driver was terribly inconvenienced when the estimated pick up time was off by over an hour. I told Dr. Chui that I had more pain in a slightly different location than before his injection, but he wasn’t concerned & just referred me to a THIRD surgeon, when I’d already seen two surgeons & clearly stated surgery wasn’t an option. Feeling dismissed.
He isn't Dr Moran for sure. His practice methods don't make sense. He wanted me who had been seeing Dr James Moran for about 7 years, to start from scratch with PT,a back brace, etc. I was already receiving pain blockage injections every 3-5 mos but this Doc wanted to start another route. I AM 74 years old & been dealing with my sciatica since I was 35, I know what point my healing should be. He did NOT want to do injections until we did other things first, WHICH I KNOW WE HAVE PASSED & HAS NOT WORKED. SORRY BUT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS with Dr Moran there is NO way I want to deal with this rookie. Good bye First State!!! Too bad at this point I have to find a NEW DOCTOR!!!
listened
Excellent care. Very sweet, patient and friendly. Took his time with me and did a great job explaining what was wrong with my back.
Has been my doctor for at least 3 years. Dr Chui always listened to me and has helped me with my Complex Regional Pain syndrome. I highly recommend him.
