    Dr. Choi was great. She's not my regular PCP (Dr. McCarty is- also excellent), but was available sooner, so I scheduled an appointment with her. As I said, she was great. I have no complaints at all and would happily be seen by her again.

    She looked like she was so exhausted that she was about to fall asleep in front of me.
