Patient Testimonials

This doctor was extremely dismissive. He repeatedly said "let me finish" while I was attempting to talk, smirked when I mentioned my job as a recreational therapist in corrections, and said "what a nice job" in a condescending tone. Right away before even knowing what my accident was he was pushing a procedure on me. When I asked if he knew what my accident was he said He didn't think my traumatic accident was important to discuss for my neck pain since it wouldn't change the treatment. He even laughed under his breath while telling me not to listen to my acupuncturist because "she's not a healthcare professional." Someone who I have really trusted with my body for years. I left feeling invalidated and frustrated.... definitely not someone I'd recommend if you want respectful or compassionate care. I wish I could give 0 stars.

Dr. Tian was nice enough but not especially informative or descriptive during the visit. I had hoped to receive a better explanation of my X-ray results but didn't receive specific detail. Dr. Tian has little personality and did not go beyond some general information. Not a satisfying appointment:

He is horrible! Poor attitude, lack of empathy, doesn't care about anything you say and is very dismissive. He struggles to get his thoughts out and stumbles over his own words like he's confused.

Dr. Tian is awesome. So friendly, patient and thorough! My first Transfemoral injection was easy easy. The nursing staff is amazing! Thank you all so much!!
