Riverside Plastic Surgeon Dr. Chung Named Patients' Choice Award Winner for 2012

CORONA, CA--(Marketwire - Feb 19, 2013) - Dr. Christopher Chung, a practitioner of plastic surgery in Riverside, is among a few select physicians honored with the Patients' Choice Award for 2012. The award is sponsored each year by the American Registry, LLC.

Patients' Choice provides in-depth information on regional doctors who have been recognized and awarded for outstanding patient care and expertise. According to the American Registry, the Patients' Choice Award is an honor roll of physicians who have received the highest ratings by their patients. Of the nation's 870,000 active physicians and dentists, only five percent consistently receive top scores from their patients qualifying them for this honor.

Each year, millions of healthcare patients go online to rate their doctors on various components of care, including:

• Accuracy of their diagnosis
• The amount of time they spent with the doctor
• The ease of the doctor's report
• Follow-up care

Patients' Choice reviews these rankings and other quality measures to compile its yearly list of award winners.

"This recognition means so much to me, as it represents the collective voice of my patients and their true feelings about their experience. I am honored and will continue with my utmost efforts to be deserving of such recognition," Dr. Chung says.

Following the announcement of Dr. Chung's selection for the Patients' Choice Award, American Registry seconded the honor and added Dr. Chung to The Registry of Business Excellence, which includes over two million significant business and professional recognitions. All recipients of the award are given a commemorative wall plaque in recognition of the honor and to promote patient awareness.

At Renaissance Aesthetic Surgery, Dr. Chung offers his patients procedures ranging from eyelid surgery to brow lifts. Dr. Chung feels particularly grateful to receive the Patients' Choice award, as patients are the focus of his practice.
