Rosa Choi, M.D. FACS - Santa Barbara (CA)

1 /5 Aden Hailu: I wish I could give this doctor a ZERO - I have NEVER experienced a doctor who was rude such as Dr. Rosa Choi. The moment she walked into the waiting room her reply was, ‘I don’t know what I’m doing here’ without even looking at my chart and she proceeded to basically give answers to her own questions without allowing me to explain the situation. Once she finally stopped and finally asked me why I was there she basically stated that I needed to take medication [lots of it] and that she can refer me to another doctor and ‘that’s it’ – she then walked out. This was an experience like I’ve never had. I highly suggest for anyone to seek another doctor. This doctor needs to reevaluate the ‘Hippocratic Oath’ – a despicable doctor! I will also contact the board, this is unacceptable behavior that needs to be corrected. Dr. Choi needs to treat her patients with respect, no matter who they are.

5 /5 Liz Simas: My lucky day was to meet Dr. Choi. I met her the day of my cancer diagnosis. She was compassionate yet direct. She answered ALL my questions and made staff available to contact should more questions arise (and they did). At one point when scheduling my surgery, I requested a timeframe and the response by staff was "Dr. Choi is going to want to do what you want to do." When my surgery day came, I had enough contact with her and her staff that I was totally comfortable and trusting that I had the right surgeon. She couldnt have been more COMPETENT, informative, caring, and professional. Sansum Clinic is lucky to have her on their team...and so am I.

5 /5 Barry: Dr. Choi is kind, professional & direct. My wife & I were concerned about some negative reviews, in our case, we were very pleased w/ Dr. Choi & Janine who has been coordinating the visits. Dr. Choi treated my wife w/ respect & made time to answer questions & concerns. Weve additionally have had a good experience w/ Dr Cotter the Radiology Oncologist.

5 /5 Dana Polomski: Dr. Choi is incredible. After two other doctors told me my breast pain would resolve if I quit caffeine (lol) , Dr. Choi immediately realized something much more serious was going on and performed surgery on me the day I met her. She is kind, direct, compassionate and extremely skilled at her job. She performed multiple surgeries on me over the course of a few months and worked in conjunction with various other doctors to design an antibiotic treatment plan that got me healthy. I could not possibly say enough good things about this woman and wish she could be my PCP.

1 /5 Ellen Jackson: Dreadful experience. She was rude, insulting, and did a poor job on the surgery. Believe the negative reviews.
