ABOUT DR. CHOI
About Dr. Choi
Dr. Choi built her practice around one principle: every patient deserves a provider who listens, explains clearly, and treats the whole person — not just the symptom. She takes time to understand your full picture and offers practical, cost-conscious solutions — from a quick in-office procedure to a comprehensive care plan.
Her training in Nutrition and Food Science, combined with surgical and clinical expertise, gives her a comprehensive lens on digestive health — especially relevant for chronic conditions like IBS, SIBO, GI motility disorders, and visceral hypersensitivity. She applies a functional medicine perspective to these conditions, addressing underlying causes through dietary guidance, targeted treatment, and coordination of care.
