Chung Nathan S MD - Tustin, California

Leanne

If I ever needed someone to cut into me, Dr. Nathan Chung would be one of the ones I'd call. I lucked out with finding Dr. Chung. I've never had surgery before and needed a lipoma removed near my rib. I was coming in from out of town during the holiday season and Dr. Chung was super accommodating and awesome. He kept me and my husband informed about everything. The medical center that we were supposed to have our surgery at did an all-out last minute cancellation due to staffing issues and Dr Chung was still able to manage a way to still have my surgery performed. I was able to keep in contact with Dr Chung via text all the time. He followed up with me after the surgery to make sure everything was okay and due to his excellent skill and this cool negative pressure wound device he put on me after the surgery, I have had very little pain and did not need any pain medication. Dr. Chung, thanks so much for everything. I hope to not have to have surgery ever again but if I do, I'll keep your number handy!

Dr Chung is a very efficient, thorough surgeon. I have never seen another doctor of his kind, who really cares about the patient and curing them instead of making patients go through all the administrative hurdles themselves. He answers HIS OWN CALLS and is super easy to text him too.

The first time I called, he picked his own phone up - this was a miracle!!!! no need to jump umpteen hoops just to get a appointment to talk/meet the doctor!

He knows clearly what he is doing, does a very clean, thorough, detailed job ( can hardly see a line where the surgery was done); is available to answer any questions we may have.

On surgery day, he came in 1 hr earlier, checked in on me couple of times at various stages and once surgery was done, personally went and met my husband who was outside and conveyed how well the surgery went and that I was already waking up! Such a relief and personal touch as opposed to all the mechanized voices or care we get while trying to find a general surgeon;

I had some horrible interactions with other general surgeons staff who treats the patients who are calling as commodities and just don't care even to call back after repeated voice mails or attempts to reach their office.

After dealing with those offices, working with Dr. Nathan Chung answering call and ease with which appointments for meetings/surgery and everything was done end to end, was like a cold gentle breeze on an extremely hot, humid day.

Dr Chung, thank you for being so caring and patient centric during these times; thank you for a very pleasant, efficient surgery experience.
