Christopher Chung, M.D., is a urogynecologist and an associate clinical professor in the Division of Gynecologic Oncology.
Recruited from Scott White Healthcare and Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine in Temple, Texas, Dr. Chung is a highly specialized expert in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery who attends to patients with challenging gynecological cancers and pelvic floor disorders.
He specializes in performing minimally invasive vaginal pelvic organ prolapse reconstructive surgery and incontinence surgery with the patient's own tissue (without the use of any mesh or foreign materials). All the procedures can be done at the same time as the initial cancer surgery, therefore minimizing the number of trips to the operating room for our patients.
Dr. Chung sees patients at the Duarte campus, as well as at the Arcadia community practice site.
