Patient Reviews
Aug 22, 2025
Extremely unprofessional. He does not listen, constantly interrupts, and shows no empathy for what the patient is trying to explain , makes comments like you’re making up when you explain what you feel. My CT was canceled because he failed to provide adequate medical justification to the insurance company, even though I have been suffering for a full year. There was no peer-to-peer discussion or any effort to advocate for the patient. He appears completely uninterested in helping.

I have a chronic issue, so I am a regular patient who has been coming for years. I've only had excellent experiences with Dr. Kwak. He's kind, attentive, knowledgeable, and explains things well (granted, I have a pretty good understanding my issues since I've had them forever.) He's done 2 surgeries and countless in-office procedures on me. No complaints with those. I can't speak for others' situations, but he has been instrumental in managing a chronic and potentially dangerous health condition.

Terrible visit. Dr. Kwak was kind and attentive, but his colleague Matina Balou PHD, who administered my test, was rude and dismissive. My complaint was swallowing dry solid foods. She refused to run tests with anything but liquids or wet crackers, and when I advocated for myself to be tested with my problem foods, she said if that's what I wanted for my test, I should have brought a sandwich (as if I was supposed to know?? and I'm meant to BYO testing supplies??) and that if I don't want to choke on dry solid foods, I should just stop eating sandwiches. I also waited AGES for this appointment because the office canceled on me twice, promised calls to reschedule that they never made, and forced me to wait at the back of the queue all over again for an appointment. This office has great resources and equipment, but not the right staff. Zero stars.
