I was matched to the amazing Charlie Brown who encouraged me, gave me positive feedback and challenged me to do just a little more every session, was ever-so-patient explaining why that spot continued to hurt and when I could expect it to feel better, and gave me advice for when I was on my own. I had exercises to do every visit and could feel my progress! Every member of the staff, from front office to exercise room, treated me like their best patient. Highly recommend!!

He did an elbow surgery for me and now my problem is worse--he told me 6-8 weeks for recovery, the new Drs i am seeing all say it can take up to a year, blatant lie from dr choi. I fear the surgery was a complete misdiagnosis with profit in mind as he was on his way out the door, now im missing months of work and my quality of life has significantly diminished. 6 months later im still barely able to use my right arm. How i wish i had researched this guy before the surgery. He did sloppy work and left a nasty scar on my arm, other Drs have told me the closure of the surgery looked unprofessional. He made a joke about his wife doing the surgery when i asked if he would be the one to do it. I should have walked away then and there. AVOID THIS DR I BEG YOU

I was thrown from a horse on 10/14 and was treated at the ER for a dislocated elbow. I was referred…read moreto Dr. Johnson for follow up by the Lawrence General ER. My appoint was on 10/16 and the Doctor was approximately 90 minutes late due to a surgery that ran long. No problem--I don't mind waiting. But when he finally did show up, it was clear that he intended to take as little time as possible with me. The first sign that he was coming was his assistant who came running into the room to "prepare" me for the Doctor. She was clearly panicked that she would not have me ready by the time he entered the room and this included having my splint off in time. The Dr barely glanced at me or my xRays. The hurriedly replaced my splint while barking at the assistant the whole time. I was soaked in the process and ended up with a rather shoddy, ill fitting splint. The entire interaction was unprofessional. During this visit, I mentioned that the other point of impact (in addition to my arm) was my lower back and that I had a lot of pain in the lower back and hip area. The doctor asked me if I was limping, watched me waddle across the room, and then left without so much as a comment or referral. When the pain continued to increase I called a back specialist on my own and was later diagnosed with a fractured pelvis (multiple fractures), herniated disc, and damage to the flanking facet joints that required further treatment.

My experiences with Associates in Orthopedics were pretty dismal as a whole. The only saving grace…read moreis the nurses/physician's assistants as they seem to be the only ones who care about the patients at all. First of all, they don't return calls. I was referred here by my primary care physician due to symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome because the location was convenient and they accept my health insurance. I called and left a message with details to call me back and set up an appointment. Since no one called me back, I had to call again and regurgitate all the information I gave then in my voicemail. Secondly, appointments never start on time. I had two appointments here total and both started about 15 minutes late without explanation, even though I arrived 5-10 minutes early. I guess they figure your time is somehow less valuable than theirs. The first appointment I spent about 90 minutes there and I was only getting X-rays and seeing the doctor. At least half of that time was spent waiting to be seen. Similarly, my second appointment was about 45 minutes (well, probably more like 30 because it started 15 minutes late) and again, I spent more time waiting than actually talking to the doctor. This was especially frustrating as I waited all that time just to be told the results of the EMG test I took were normal. I don't know if there's some legal reason they can't give me results over the phone or what, but it would have saved me the time and the copay money. Thirdly, the doctors don't really seem to care about you and just want to get you out of their hair as soon as possible. Dr. Johnson talked to me for at most 5 minutes per appointment and more or less told me the same thing each time. He seemed totally disinterested when my EMG test came back normal, even though I told him I was still having pain. He told me to see another doctor should I decide to come back, which I definitely will not. I'll go out of my way to go somewhere else if it means I'll have a better experience.

I have many problems with my back, 2 failed surgeries permanent nerve damage. The old doctor was doing nerve ablation injection. That took my pain away for 6 months at a time. This Dr had the nerve to tell me my problems are muscles, not the nerve damage! Then he moves on to telling me I need therapy and the pain is in my head. WTF!! I have had 10 plus MRI's, nerve studies, and many other test that pointed to arthritis in the joints and the nerve ablation relives the pain. I have back problems since I was 14 years old. I am know in my forties. I work full time in a high power job. I will not take pain pills or opioids. I take nothing more then over the counter IBUPROFEN. Please please please find a different doctor to see! This guy is 100% F@#king crazy! And should not be allowed to practice medicine!
