Dr. Chi is a super doctor! I had no idea about what the patient-provider relationship could be until I started working with her for some of my more chronic and newer musculoskeletal issues.

She is empathic and personable, along with having great advice and insight. Her response rate to my questions is the quickest I've ever seen. I feel like my relationship with her is more like that of a project partner. If I do research on a treatment modality that I think is worth checking out, I send it to her, and she'll review if we should move forward or not, or if it needs to be reviewed by her colleagues.

I was grateful that Dr. Chi was willing to at least look beyond more surgery as a first step. Additionally, Dr. Chi seemed willing to work with me on ways to improve flexibility, rather than just dismissing my issues to age related problems. I would highly recommend her and appreciate her professionalism and general kindness and...
