I did a lot of research on my own, before deciding on Dr. Chae. We went to a seminar he hosted on bariatric surgical options & I was very impressed with his low-key & approachable persona. For me, I felt confident in being able to really discuss concerns. He had an extensive background in surgery & understood my special health issues.
I would have appreciated a more approachable & friendly attitude from some of his staff,I felt that I was a bit of a hassle for them, but they were efficient & I was able to have my surgery done before a major deadline.
Because of pre-existing conditions, I ended up staying at the hospital a couple of extra days. I was SO grateful that Dr. Chae seemed to completely understand & was prepared to help me with whatever it took to get me through the process... [Click here for more] in the best possible way.
He is kind & compassionate, two traits that are hard to come by. I would reccomend him (and in fact, already have).

I liked Dr Chae a lot. He is very kind and calm. He made me feel more relaxed about the journey I was on, especially since mine was sped up due to medical reasons. I had very little contact with him since I am with Kaiser, but he is a great Doctor and I would recommend him to anyone. Posted on 11/14/2009 |

Dr. Chae is one of the best doctors I have ever met. He genuinely cares about his patients and is very encouraging. His dietician, Kelly, has been instumental in my success so far. They are a great team and I owe a lot of what I have been able to accomplish to them. Posted on 08/01/2009 |

My first impression of Dr. Chae was complete confidence! He is very knowledgeable in his professional field and communicates that to the patients. He is very up front about all risks and explained the positive aspects of the surgery. He answered all my questions A to Z to relieve all doubt or stress going into the WLS procedure. He makes you feel good about yourself and what lies ahead. I love him dearly since undergoing the surgery! I rate his bedside manner and surgical competence as great! He has a very structured aftercare arrangement designed toward patient success. The Midtown office staff is absolutely awesome and caring! You don't feel an ounce of embarassment for being overweight. The staff truly cares about you as an individual and imparative toward your success! The... [Click here for more] only problem I ran into ALSO was getting a hold of the SkyRidge Medical Office staff to make an appointment or follow-up on information. You rarely get a live person and had to leave a message on most occassions. I communicated by email 98% of the time, which took away from the customer experience. I found this to be very annoying and frustrating when I wanted to speak with a human individual! A lot can be learned from the Midtown Office which really rocks.

Friendly, professional. Down to business, not a lot of extraneous chit-chat, but very open to questions. Kind and compassionate. Confident in surgery and super-intuitive regarding progress and status. Posted on 01/02/2009 |

I really like Dr, Chae, he is in my opinion the best at what he does and gives a patient the freedom to decided on their own what type of surgery to have. Sometimes he takes awhile to warm up to you-- so don't be disheartened. He is very serious about his job, which is the reason why I picked him. His staff is great and very supportive. I had my surgery at Skyridge medical center and my experience was excellent! The nurses were very caring and knew their stuff! DR. Chae came to visit me everyday while I was in the hospital--I was in 3 days-- He does have a structured aftercare program and several support groups in the Denver area--none in my area yet--(Boulder). The groups are free to anyone who had surgery with Dr. Chae. Kelly is an awesome Nutritionist and helps you through the... [Click here for more] insurance hoops... Tara Lynn is the Exercise physio. and she is just great. Dr. Kaplan is the psychologist and he is the calm sounding boarding all of us need.
Overall I would rate Dr. Chae a 10 out of 10!
My only problem with is sometimes the office is hard to get a hold of. I have to call many times to get ahold of Suzi-who is understandably busy--but sometimes I didn't get a return call within 48 hrs. which was frustrating.

Dr. Chae is my hero. He was wonderful in every way. He took the time to go over everything with me he answered questions. He personally returned phone calls, I really don't have any complaints. I would recommend him in a heart beat! Thank you so much, you are the greatest! Posted on 09/23/2008 |
