In the summer of 2021, I finally got my wife Nancy to call our MDVIP doctor, Dr. Han-Jong (John) Koh for an evaluation of abdominal pain that she had experienced and not for too many weeks not acted upon.

He immediately made room for her in his busy schedule and after seeing her arranged a same same-day scan, the results of which could have take days to obtain. Instead he followed up and obtained the results within hours.

He call Nancy as we were attending her hair appointment in Washington D.C. that very day. He told her that he suspected she had cancer and told her to immediately report the local Loudoun hospital ER for further assessment. He called ahead and lined-up (greased the skids) with admittance, a surgeon and an oncologist.

She did so and we embarked on a Stage III Ovarian cancer journey now in it's 31st month and still working with Dr. Mike Bevers of MD Anderson Hospital in Houston and Dr Ajay Dar of Virginia Cancer Specialists in Loudoun Virginia,

That follow-thru by Dr Koh has earned him our respect and appreciation ... and a key reason we remain with MDVIP, when we have other options and need pay nothing with Military Tricare for Life. His responsiveness and redirection to other specialists make our being an MDVIP patient of his a no brainer.

Thanks Dr. Koh.
