    Dr. Monique Cho is a compassionate, caring physician. She is a good listener, explains the answers to questions extremely well, and is at the top of the chart in her research, especially as it applies to older adults. She helps you get to the best physical condition you can be in if you follow her recommendations. I am so very thankful I found her when my kidneys were not functioning well, for she's given me hope that with good choices I can stabilize their function and remain at the stage I'm in for a longer time than if left on my own.
