Step 1: Arrive at Our Office

Your visit begins even before you enter the clinic. After parking at Ala Moana Center on the 3rd floor near Macy’s, you’ll enjoy a short, easy walk to our office at the Ala Moana Pacific Center.

Step 2: Check In With Our Front Desk Team

From the moment you arrive, our friendly front desk team will welcome you with aloha. They’ll assist with check-in, help with any remaining paperwork, answer questions about your visit or insurance, and ensure your appointment begins smoothly and stress-free.

Step 3: Relax Before Your Appointment

You’ll be guided to our comfortable waiting area, where you can relax in a calm setting before your appointment begins. We respect your time and work to keep visits running smoothly and efficiently.

Step 4: Begin Your Evaluation

When it’s time for your visit, you’ll be escorted to a private exam or treatment room that prioritizes your comfort, privacy, and safety. Every space is maintained to the highest standards of cleanliness and care.

Your visit typically includes a discussion of your symptoms, concerns, and goals, a review of your medical history, and a diagnostic ultrasound, if indicated, to evaluate how your veins function beneath the surface. This step is key—it allows us to understand not just what you see, but what’s causing it.

Step 5: Meet With Dr. Chung

Dr. Chung will take the time to listen to your concerns, evaluate your symptoms, and discuss your goals. He will explain your diagnosis in clear, simple terms, walk you through your treatment options, and answer your questions so you feel informed and confident.

We believe in education and transparency, so you feel comfortable with every decision and understand the next steps in your care.

How We Create Your Personalized Treatment Plan

  • Which treatments are medically necessary vs. cosmetic 
  • Insurance coverage and what to expect financially 
  • A plan that aligns with your budget and comfort level 
  • Before you go, you’ll have: 
  • A clear understanding of your condition 
  • A step-by-step treatment plan 
  • Answers to all your questions 

If you’re ready, we can also help schedule your next appointment.
