"My first impression was that he was nice, but as all surgeons, seemed like he was in a rush. So, I felt a bit pressured during my initital consultation with him. My impression changed over time as I realized, my process had little to nothing to do with him until it was \"cutting\" time. I, as most, had to go through all of the insurance hoops and 97% of what I had to deal with was my nutritionist, pshychiatrist, fitness expert, PCP & Susie the insurance coordinator. Those people are all so amazing and kind and respectful....I came to realize that Chae had set up an EXCELLENT team and they really, truly knew what they were doing so that I could be prepared for surgery. That was a wonderful reflection on Dr. Chae.rnHonestly, in my experience, there wasn't anyting to dislike about Dr. Chae. He's very kind and seems sincere and everything went well for me. "
