Benjamin Choi, MD

About, Fort Lee, NJ office, the Doctor is fine, but the old lady receptionist is the problem. She was very rude, ill mannered, pushing her patient off to leave, even telling to hang up the phone and sign the deductible payment receipt sinec the DOCTOR is to leave the office.
How rude… I confronted her not to be pushy but she still had her reasons why. She may be a good employee for Dr, butnot for the business and patients. she should be replaced.

great doctor, concientious, skilled.

I got a no-​scalpel vasectomy. Through it all, Dr. Choi was very personable, friendly, and patient. Same goes for his whole staff. He answered all my questions, although I didn’t have many because he thoroughly talked me through every step of the process. Consultation, procedure, follow-​up… the whole experience couldn’t have been easier.
He’s been performing vasectomies for over 8 years, and no-​scalpel vasectomies exclusively for the past 5 or so years. He’s private practice, but also an attending at Presbyterian and an instructor at Cornell Weill.

If you revere your life, I would stay away from this doctor at all cost.
I would give this Doctor ZERO if I could. NO DOCTOR SHOULD PLAY GOD with anyone’s life, but his man seems to think he is. When I came in to see him, I was suffering from a persistent condition– not yet a life-​death situation but if it wasn’t for my current new urologist, not only would I have gone undiagnosed and untreated, but I would have eventually lost a kidney to this man. I requested that a culture be sent out to a lab (also so that it may get a sensitivity test), but instead, he chose, AGAINST MY WISHES, to do the culture in his office. For that, I could have just hopped over to CVS and bought myself an over the counter dipstick test. When I asked his assistant why they hadn’t sent it out, they asked me to come back in for another culture, basically so that they could charge me another office fee visit. Any decent doctor will tell you that you don’t need to show up but he/​she can send you directly to a lab facility like Quest Diagnostics by sending a fax request to the labs themselves. When he couldn’t figure out the diagnosis (probably bec. of the crappy lab work he had done or possibly none at all) he insisted on putting me on antibiotics FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. Seriously– what medical school did this man come out of? Even when I complained that the medication wasn’t working (possibly due to resistance– duh?) he dismissed me and told me, «I am the Doctor. You don’t tell ME what to do or how to think.» REALLY? SO I guess my opinions of my body doesn’t really count for much with a doctor, eh? Finally, I went to MT SInai Hospital where THEY diagnosed me with proper tests and cocktail rounds of antibiotics for 2 weeks. SO just imagine: 2 weeks of antibiotics and a cure vs a lifetime of antibiotics and suffering, not to mention needless overdosing on unneccessary medication. Hmmmm… Who’s the doctor? This man is an INCOMPETENT doctor. And the best part– if there is not money to be made in a procedure– he will tell you that as a «physician» it’s not highly recommended even though it would be the right course of action for diagnosing/​treating your illness. All the hallmarks of a great doc– greed, god complex, condescension of the sick and helpless.

Dr. Choi is a Urologist. He blasted my kidney stone!
He’s personable and his staff is great!
