Some issues Natalie F. Y. Choi, OD can help you with:

Autoimmune Diseases

An autoimmune disorder happens when the immune system mistakenly attacks the tissues of its own body, causing symptoms of illness. There are more than 80 different types of autoimmune disorders. While some are very rare, others are fairly common. Combined, autoimmune disorders are one of the leading causes of death and disability in the United States, affecting approximately 24 million people.

A properly working immune system identifies foreign substances in the body that might cause illness, such as bacteria and viruses. The immune system then creates antibodies which attack the foreign substances, neutralizing them and keeping the body safe. In people with autoimmune disorders, something goes wrong with this process. For reasons that are not fully understand, the immune system creates antibodies to attack the patient's own tissues.

Symptoms of an autoimmune disorder depend on which tissue is being attacked by the immune system, but common symptoms of autoimmune disease include fever, fatigue, and a general feeling of just not being well. Autoimmune disorders are more common in women than in men, and they may run in families. Autoimmune disorders can affect various parts of the body such as blood vessels, connective tissue, endocrine glands, joints, muscles, red blood cells, skin, and many others.

It is common to have more than one autoimmune disorder at a time. Most are chronic, or life-long illnesses, although they may come and go in flares. Treatment for autoimmune disorders depends on which part of the body is being attacked. For example:

  • A type 1 diabetic whose pancreas has been damaged will need insulin.
  • A person with Hashimoto's whose thyroid has been damaged will need replacement thyroid hormones.
  • Someone with Sjogren's syndrome will need eye drops and mouth rinses to replace tears and saliva.

Many autoimmune disorders of all kinds are treated with immune-suppressing medications, such as corticosteroids (e.g. prednisone) to reduce the effect of the immune system.

I definitely appreciate the opportunity to provide feedback, when necessary. In addition to sending surveys, immediately following the visit. However, I think one of the questions (I forgot the number of the question), I believe more specific to the specialty of the provider, e.g. This provider was an optometrist & my concern was specifically related to my eyes. I wouldn't expect or assume this to ask me about my atrial fib or dermatology, etc. I love all of my providers and the efficiency of the timeliness survices and most of all quality.

I had an acute eye problem. I knew I would not be able to be seen in Primary Care same day as they would be full. So called Dr Choi's office. I was able to be seen that day. I was very very happy. Jesse, Dr Choi's Ma, is always friendly and nice . He remembered my husband had been in to see Dr Choi months ago. And he remembered the conversation they had and shared it with me. Dr Choi is always very nice and an excellent provider.

Visited Dr. Choi for a very overdue eye appointment. My eyes were giving me some problems. Her assistant I think its name is Jeff was very courteous very prompt. Very thorough in the pre-examination department and Dr. Choi was very efficient in checking my eyes and making sure I had the proper prescription.

Dr Choi is very professional and listens carefully to my concerns. I asked her about certain procedures which she explained to my understanding. This was my second visit with her. At my first visit she informed me about vision services she can provide that I was previously unaware of. I thinks she's great.

I called the referral line and was immediately referred to this optometrist. Excellent customer service from the referral desk to the appointment. Went very smoothly. The optometrist explained my eye condition. My former dr never did. I now know why they want me to have frequent eye exams. Thank you

Dr. Choi is the best! She is thorough, she listens to the patient and always explains things clearly. I had a condition that was getting worse instead of better on its own. She saw me the same day I called and prescribed an effective treatment.
