Kellen Choi, MD — Attraction in Lombard

A referral for Dr. Choi was given to me after my ortho. retired. I saw Dr. Choi about a week ago. He came into the exam room 1hr and 15 min. late.

I didn't feel rushed throughout the whole exam and I was put to ease about my knee pain. I would definitely...
