Joseph Chung, M.D

Okay, I’m almost afraid to recommend Dr. Chung for fear he will become inaccessible when I need to see him, but he’s such an amazing doctor, and Signature Medical Group is such an amazing practice, I feel I owe it to him to thank him, but telling others what a great doctor he is. He could easily win the primary care doctor of the year award, in my opinion.
I have to be honest; I am not a huge fan of doctors or the medical field, for the most part. I have had some pretty awful and traumatizing experiences at the hands of the medical profession over the course of my life, and so I had been without a primary care doctor for a number of years before I found Dr. Chung. I was going with the, if I don’t think about it I’ll be fine mentality. However, it became clear I really did need to see a doctor, and so an extended family member suggested I see a colleague of his, who was not taking patients. Dr. Chung was new to the practice, and so I thought, okay, I guess I could give him a try, but I steeled myself, for what I assumed would be a horrible experience.
My first visit with Dr. Chung was a game changer. I wanted to hug him after my visit and all of his staff as well. He LISTENED! HE LISTENED! HE CLEARLY ACTUALLY HEARD WHAT I HAD SAID TO HIM. HE MADE OBSERVATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS! HE NEVER GAVE ORDERS. He was, at ALL times, respectful, thoughtful and I felt so comfortable with him.
In the past 5 or so years that I have been Dr. Chung’s patient, I have never had a negative experience with his practice, (Okay, one time, one of the office staff was crabby, but hey, we all have off days sometimes, and it wasn’t a big deal, just a tiny bit of edge).
After I met Dr. Chung, I immediately scheduled my kids, and my mom with him, and now pretty much my entire family call Dr. Chung when they need a doctor. Seriously, he’s an awesome doctor! I wish he could clone himself.
Oh, by the way, the rest of the practice is pretty amazing too. I’ve occasionally had to see Dr. Chung’s colleagues when he’s been on vacation and they are just as awesome as he is. The support staff are great too; very kind, thoughtful, gentle, non-​frightening, and so comfortable to be with. Thank you Signature Medical Group, you’ve changed my mind about doctors.
