Dr. Tae Joon Chung

Dr. Chung was patient with me and asked a lot of questions to help with the diagnosis. He explained every step of the procedure which was very helpful. I had a very successful outcome and would highly recommend Dr. Chung.

Awful bedside manner. I would not recommend him. Quack

If I could give negative stars I would. This guy, who doesn’t deserve to be called a doctor has the worst bedside manner in the world. He told me after 6 years of being treated for Lupus by a Texas doctor who sits on the board of lupus research in Austin, Dr Samuel Pegram (BEST DAMN LUPUS DOC IN THE WORLD!) … that I never had Lupus or any other diagnosis and he will not prescribe me Hydroxychloroquine(that I’ve been taking for 6 years or give me a benlysta infusion, he’s not giving me lyrica for my fibromyalgia that he says I have but doesn’t think I should take more than extra strength Tylenol ???? please someone take his license and tell the Army they medically retired me at 100% prematurely! lol If I could give negative stars I would.

I agree with the other one star Google reviews. Dr. Chung does not listen, mocks the patient, and even mocked my internist. He remarked that although my labs showed that my ANA was positive, "that meant nothing" since I did not have a history of Lupus. When I pointed out that actually, I have a well documented history of Lupus, he dismissed this - and I offered him lab tests to prove this - which he declined to look at. So strange. But we did spend a considerable amount of time talking about his strong reaction to his Covid 19 booster shot.... I agree with the other one star Google reviews.

Overall horrible bedside manner. Receptionist and doctor both condescending. Receptionist does not pick up when you call and you have to leave a message. Usually takes a full business day/two for him to call you back. At the beginning of COVID, appointments were via Zoom. Our mother was struggling with the app and the doctor was clearly getting aggitated and frustrated. Our mother has been going to this doctor for years and he's always been very curt. Recently she went to get a shot and had a bad reaction and subsequently taken to the ER. After she was released she called the doctor because she was still having some residual side effects. The receptionist basically said after she got released from the ER their responsibility ends there. The proof is in the pudding...All the prior negative reviews align to my mother's experience. If anything, patients deserve better and everyone can do better than to see this doctor and the staff.

Can’t say enough good about this practice. Very courteous and polite as soon as I walked in, Dr Chung was very thorough and informative. Very pleased

Dr.Chung, saved my life...PERIOD Was in Reston Hospital for a month back in 2006 and none of the physicians that came in and out could figure out what was wrong. One day Dr.Chung is part of the rotation, examined me, put on the proper medications and protocols. As I previously indicated he saved my life or I wouldn't be here to write this. He is direct with his questions , no-nonsense, if you want to be helped, he's your guy. I still go to him on a six-month basis to get checked out Oh and the office staff is pretty cool.

I've been a patient of Dr. Chung now for two years. He has really helped me take a proactive approach to treating and overcoming my arthritis (gout). The staff is very easy to work with and professional. Thank you Dr. Chung and team for your service!!!

I completely forgot to review this guy until I got a bill today. This doctor is SMUG and so is the guy at the front desk. I would never come to him again. My daughter and I went here due to jaw and elbow issues. We were sent by her pediatrician - who the doctor made it a point to say he hasn’t heard of (SO WHAT!) UGH! He and his front desk kept asking, very sarcastically, if I’m sure I want to be seen because the issues she was having weren’t something that I should be seeing a rheumatologist for. I told them if my doctor felt She needed to be seen, can you please just check her and make sure there is no glaring issues? Thank goodness there weren’t because I would have hated to come to that office again. They treated us like a joke. Your office is the joke and so are your reviews.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Chung for several years. No nonsense doctor that tells it like it is. Efficient knowledgeable and the best rheumatologist in the area.

Personable and efficient staff. Dr Chung is highly knowledgeable, professional and makes going to the medical office each quarter a pleasant experience. Has managed my condition expertly from Day 1.

Diagnosed my gout very quickly and effectively where others have failed. Yes his bedside manner needs some work but I had been struggling for weeks with misdiagnosis and misinformation and I left his office in 30 minutes feeling better than I had in weeks.

Dr. Chung is a terrific doctor. He listened patiently to determine my symptoms, provided a thorough exam, explained the results succinctly, and asked if I had any further questions. It was clear that his goal was to help me deal with pain and physical limitations that, alas, are age-related.

Saw Dr. Chung after my orthopedist decided that my something else besides arthritis was affecting my joints and muscles. Dr. Chung ruled out rheumatoid arthritis but perserved. Turned out I had Lyme disease. He is very professional and very smart.

Wow! I can’t believe he can practice the way he does and get away with it. Even the office manager was yelling and talking so abusively over the phone.

Took my mother in law to Dr. Chung because of arthritis in her hands. He walked in with an attitude (I suspect it is because of religious reasons. He had impatient, did not feel like taking time time explain what she had. Asked for blood work and to come back in two weeks after the blood work results come back. We asked for some pain killers which he refused to provide any. We went out from there and I scheduled an appointment with another doctor who gave her pain killers and have been treating her ever since. Honestly, I am not the type that would write bad reviews but with his bad manners, ego, and I really think he had an issues because we are muslims. This doctor should not be in business. He is not doctor quality. Took my mother in law to Dr. Chung because of arthritis in her hands. He walked in with an attitude (I suspect it is because of religious reasons.

Not a great bedside manner but he knows his business. Great doctor who really cares. I get along with him just fine and he's done so much for me.

Make your own judgement. He is very good and reliable. Instead of waiting months for an appointment with a popular doctor, go see him when you need a doctor the most. He'll take you in and will take care of you. When my knee was filled up with fluid, he knew what to do.

Dr. Chung was very efficient and thorough helping us with my daughter's care. He explained the different steps we could go through and treated her in a timely manner. I would highly recommend his practice.

Finding the right physician/specialty for my need was important as I have multiple issues. Dr. Chung nailed my issues and set me up with a decisive plan of action. Its been 6 months now and I feel pretty good and see myself improving daily. If you have an issues that is chronic, do yourself a favor and go see Dr. Chung.

We were having the hardest time finding what was wrong with my wife. Went to multiple doctors and couldn't nail it down until Dr. Chung. Thru this process, I became more educated about rheumatology. they deal with complex auto immune and of course bone issues. As a fellow consumer/patient, a visit to a rheumatolgist may save you time and grief. Dr. Chung and his entire staff is efficient and courteous. But above all, Dr. Chung seems to know his craft.

Worst 'bedside manner' of any doctor I've been to—and I've been to MANY. Utter neutrality would be an improvement; he seems to quietly disdain his job and patients. He disregarded all of my comments & details about my medical history, essentially telling me I was wrong about what I've experienced firsthand.

Dr. Chung took me as a new patient to diagnose a problem of a swollen , red, painful foot that had developed after I saw a podiatrist for fractured metatarsals in the other foot. He told me a blood test and x-rays were needed for his evaluation. So his assistant took my blood and send me down to x-ray and when I asked how long it would take to get the results I was told the doctor is going on vacation for 2 weeks, no other doctor is covering for him and I would just have to wait until he gets back. I got no help to deal with the pain, no advice about anything and just left to cope by myself. The staff told me it would take almost 2 weeks for the blood test to get done anyway, which was a lie - the result , that I saw later on, was reported within one day. HOW DARE A DOCTOR TAKE ON A NEW PATIENT, KNOWING FULL WELL THAT HE WOULD GO ON VACATION AND BE OF NO HELP FOR THE NEXT 2 WEEKS, LEAVING THE PATIENT WITHOUT A DIAGNOSIS, HELP OR TREATMENT!!! My condition got a lot worse within that time frame but I did see him again, was given pain meds for arthritis, no further explanation, except that there is no cure, no advice how to deal with the condition, but a referral to a cardiologist to check whether the swelling could be caused by congestive heart failure and told to come back in 4 weeks. Well, I am NOT going back to him. Too bad that I have go give him one star in order to post my review, he doesn't deserve it.

I went to several Dr.'s before I found one who could really figure out what was going on with me, and wouldn't just prescribe the latest drug out there. Great doctor. Highly recommend.

Awful bedside manner and seemed to actually hate his job. Not really clear why he is even allowed to see patients. Will be complaining to state licensing board.

When seeking out a doctor for my fiancee, so that she could finally have an answer for unbearable joint and bone pains that have plagued her over the past two years, it was Dr Chung who came recommended. Given the exceptional level of care her other doctors provide it came natural to believe that Dr Chung would provide just as excellent care. Unfortunately that is not the case with Dr. Chung. One can often over look a poor bed side manner, if the doctor has a high level of quality of care and exhibits excellent knowledge of his field. Unfortunately for Mr. Chung not only does he possess a poor bed side manner, but when broached about specific tests, and field related topics, he acted condescending and ambivalent towards his patient. Often using the phrase "That means nothing to me." and rudely speaking to my fiancee. A patient doesn't go to a doctor knowing everything about their health. They seek out a doctor to get treatment and to hopefully find an answer to what is ailing them. They don't go to a doctor hoping to be diagnosed with a horrible disease. When they ask for help finding an answer as to why they feel bad, and are treated as an inconvenience and as though the doctor doesn't want the patient... you just have a bad doctor. I was dumbfounded to discover that Dr. Chung was completely unfamiliar with a C4a test. A test that is often used in addition to rheumatoid factor to determine whether or not a patient has Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis or Lyme Disease. If you are seeking a doctor for any reason, I would not recommend Dr. Chung. He is rude, ill informed, and acts though he hates what he does. Not everyone has what it takes to be a care giver or is meant to be health provider and Dr. Chung is clearly one of those people.

Made the mistake of disregarding his other bad reviews. This has to be the worst doctor I've ever had, as Dr. Chung seems to actually enjoy that his patients are in pain. He's very rude and puts effort into being as contrite as possible. He also misdiagnosed my ailment and took two full weeks of sitting on my records to do so. His office is small and dirty, about as big as my two out-stretched arms, and his average time spent with patients seems to be about five minutes... he just seems to be just busy building up his hourly rate. This doctor presents his "credentials" by lining them all up like trophies, but take a look at how these accomplishments are just a pay-to-play scheme, as reported by ABC News by Googling: "Top Doctor Awards: Are They Always Well Deserved?".

Arrogant and dismissive and refused to treat me. I hope you find someone else and don't waste your time here.

Rude, dismissive, uninterested, condescending, and—worst of all—INCOMPETENT. It's like talking to a brick wall... If you have a complex medical history, multiple illnesses, or a lot of details you feel are necessary to communicate (i.e. ANY information that you know a Doctor would NEED to accurately diagnose you and take a suitable, informed approach to your treatment), GO ELSEWHERE. He'll ignore half of what you say, and tell you the other half is wrong.. He should never have become a Dr.

He put me on an IV drug. I learned from a home nurse treating me that other doctors who put patients on this drug also prescribed another drug and weekly blood tests, to prevent gallbladder damage and check for stress on the liver. I called Dr. Chung to ask about this, and he immediately became verbally abusive. I went to another doctor, and when I told him I had been put on the IV without weekly blood tests, he looked shocked and said, That's not right. Dr. Chung is irresponsible and nasty.
