    I have been working with Dr. Edwin Choy for my cancer treatment and care since 2016. Since that date, I have been always impressed with his bedside manner, the level of care that he shows, the degree of explanation that he has provided, and his sincerity throughout my whole treatment plan. I have nothing bad to say whatsoever about Dr. Choy or those that he works with, his nurses, or even the people that are in his office there working with others. They have been truly compassionate and considerate and knowledgeable.
