Very thorough and knowledgeable
I felt very comfortable with Dr. Chung. This was a video visit and I still felt like I was getting the best care from Dr. Chung.
Dr Lee Chung is a truly amazing, caring doctor. I was so blessed to have him. He engages with his patients in a way that makes them feel seen and heard. He never rushed our visits and answered all my questions. He wasn't afraid to tell me things even if I wasn't in total agreement. I hope I don't have another stroke but if I did, Dr Chung would be the doctor I want. He is what a great doctor should be!
He is a wonderful doctor. He really made me feel interested in what I needed
Dr Chung really listens and cares about his patients. He goes over everything and if you don't understand he will explain in different ways until you do .
He has every characteristic one wants in a physician. One of the absolute best
Awesome experience!
My husband and I gladly travel from Montana on a regular basis for a high quality MRI at the Neurosciences Center and clinical follow-up with Dr. Chung. He has been there for us since a tele-stroke consult with our local ER several years ago. Dr. Chung is a truly caring physician, who combines impressive knowledge and experience with warm humanity. Thank you!
Dr. Chung is a very knowledgable physician and I trust his judgement completely.
Dr. Lee Chung is outstanding. He has been with us on our neurology journey from an initial life-saving telestroke consult with our Montana hospital, to a virtual follow-up visit, to ongoing diagnosis and follow-up in Salt Lake City every 6 months. Dr. Chung's knowledge, empathy, and kindness are SO worth the 7 hour journey. Thank you!
Dr. Chung was well prepared for our telehealth visit and treated us with respect and patience.
He is one of the best doctor I have had!
Very courtesy and focused on respect for the patient. He was an excellant listerner and explained the treatments in details that you could follow and understand.
He seems to be a capable and caring pyhsician.
Dr. Chung is an amazing doctor and practitioner. He is very responsive, thorough and always has excellent follow through. Anyone with a complex neurological condition would be well served by working with Dr. Chung.
I am to receive a call and make an appointment with Bozeman Health Neurology.
I could care less. Tell me what's wrong with me and why do I keep landing in the hospital.
Thank you Dr. Chung. You worked very well with our family in our mother's difficult situation.
Thank you for taking great care of me, making sure I was safe to be home as a single mother, and being on my care team.
Dr. Chung is extremely thorough and listens to my concerns in ways that you just don't find anywhere else
Dr. Lee Chung is a wonderful neurologist. I feel so fortunate that I was under his top notch care. He is very caring and extremely knowledgeable. I will be forever grateful he was there for me from my time in the hospital to my many questions after discharge and in my follow-up appointments. I was super impressed he remembered so many details about my case 8+ months after hospital discharge. The whole University of Utah medical team has been so helpful and competent.
Kindness caring.
Very caring.
Lee Chung is a great doctor he pays attention to his patients needs and is very concerned about his patients

Great visit! Dr Chung is a true cowry. I trust him completely. I am delighted to have him as my neurologist.
Dr. Chung is an extremely skilled and caring professional. He was able to focus intently on my needs and questions (and I had many). My husband and I are so very grateful.
made it so I could under stand my situation
During my exam, Dr. Chung asked why did I have an appointment with him being the he was not a spine neurologist. Dr. Chung apologized and referred me to the appropriate physician for a follow-up.
Good experience.
I have a very rare brain disease and a history of strokes. I have been with Dr. Chung since my brain surgery 7 years ago. He has always taken the time to listen to me and explain all my options. He is extremally knowledgeable, kind and compassionate.
Dr Chung was amazing! With only reading my report and never actually meeting me in person, he was able to correctly assess my situation and suggest the propper treatment. He was very knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate. Like I said before, he is awesome!
100% professional.
Dr. Chung very polite. Explained why we were there for, and was happy with the progress that has been made. He was very knowledgeable of our medical diagnosis, and we are on the right track to recovery.
Dr Chung was extremely helpful & eased my fears of what we should do next.
Loved Dr Chung.. very attentive, honest and caring..
