I don't like to drive all the way to Hyde Park to see a doctor but I found Dr. Chon to be really good.

“Highly recommended”
I saw Dr. Chon while he was working at Kaiser San Francisco. He took time to talk to me in plain English and listened to my concerns. He is an exceptional doctor who cares about his patients.
