Stephanie N Chun, MD

Dr. Chun is friendly, sincere, and gentle. I’ve been going to her for years and have never once thought about switching to a diff specialist. I like that she has 2 locations– 3838 california and 450 sutter. I live between those two locations so it’s super convenient for me to catch her at one of her practices. Her staff is also delightful!

Let’s be real here — no one likes to go to the gyno! I am not all that modest of a person, however, it still isn’t pleasant to spread ‘em for just anyone. Dr. Chun was so sweet and cute, I felt like I was with a friend rather than a doctor (although I don’t typically strip down and spread them for my friends). The office was beautiful, parking was available, the staff was nice, I would possibly give a 4 ½ because I was on time but had to wait a little while for my appt, but that’s life I suppose with dr appts. All in all, I would strongly recommend going to her!

Dr. Chun helped me through 2 pregnancies and healthy deliveries, and I really am SO happy she was the doctor I chose for these important events. We had a couple scares during the pregnancies, and in both cases she was sensitive and supportive and called me off-​hours to check on my mental state. She’s my favorite doctor in the group and I am happy to recommend her.

I have somewhat mixed reviews about this doctor and the office. Dr. Stephanie Chun seemed talkative enough, though I felt she could really care less. Other than her bedside manner, she was an okay doctor. However, I did get an extra bill in the mail that I didn’t know I would be receiving… she said everything would be covered by my insurance…
Secondly, I called her to ask if she could prescribe a generic brand of bcp. She literally told me that I have to find out by myself if I want a generic brand and that she won’t tell me. The bcp I have right now is 24/​mo and that is a bit much for me. At this point, I am wondering why I even pay to use her as a doctor if she can’t even prescribe me a generic brand. Does LoEstrin pay her off to keep using it?
Thirdly, I showed up one day for my 2^nd injection of gardasil… and was told that my appointment was at their other office (why do they have two offices? can’t they split the doctors up equally so that one doctor is always at one location?). Apparently I was a patient that was shuffled around and wasn’t told that they changed me. After waiting over 40 minutes, I finally got my shot. Then they told me that I need to talk the doctor for bcp and i thought it was pretty useless to waste my time and actually go in there, but apparently she has to talk to me face to face not on the phone. They charged me a $ 25 copay to talk to the doctor… however, she acknowledged her office’s mistake and gave me three months of free bcp.
Therefore, although they thoroughly f’d up she did make it up to me. I am not sure if I will come back next year though.

I really like Dr. Chun because she’s really nice and I usually make money on the deal. Here’s the math:
($ 45 copay per month of birth control) x (2 samples Dr Chun gives me each visit) — ($ 10 dr. office copay) = $ 80 earned
Hey, not bad for a 20 min Dr’s visit that I need anyways. Otherwise, I have never had a negative experience at the office. They are usually quick and painless. Isn’t that all you ask for in a pelvic exam anyways?

I like Dr. Chun… she’s very caring and spent a good amount of time on questions I had. She was very prompt to call me back when I left her a message.
The only con about this place is the sudden last minute cancellations because she had to go into surgery which is totally understandable but sucks for me because I make my appointments a good 2 months in advance.

Dr. Chun works out of 3 different offices in the city depending on the day of the week. The day before my appointment, her receptionist called and changed the office location of where I was to go. I had a shock reaction to my procedure and ended up going to my PCP the next day. I told Dr. Chun my reactions (i.e. the room was spinning, I was perspiring) and she just told me to relax. She also never contacted me with the results of my procedure.

I’ve been to Stephanie Chun twice. The annual was super quick and I’ll admit, I thought she didn’t have the most compassionate bedside manner. The second time, however, my opinion changed. She took time with me and explained all my options in depth while addressing all of my concerns. I’m going to continue going to Dr. Chun… she’s won me over.

We all hate annual exams and Dr. Chun makes it as quick and painless as possible! I have gone to 3 different OB/​GYNs in the city and by far she has been my favorite. I have recommended her to several of my friends.
