After my previous doctor retired, I started with Dr. Dong. She really goes above and beyond to…read moreunderstand everything going on and spends the time, when needed, to really get into it. I definitely get the vibe that she truly cares and is great at internal medicine. When an emergency came up, and I was hospitalized, Dr. Dong and her team were quick to get follow-up blood work ordered and office visits scheduled to make sure everything continued to get better. I'm glad I picked her to quarterback my primary care.

Ask the doctor for additional blood test due to high cholesterol in the past couple years but was told that I need to be referred to cardiologists. The office charge for additional office visit for $235 this kind of question. Very disappointed. As a patient I don't feel comfortable asking question or expressing any health concern during office visit any longer. Please read review of doctor Catherine Dong at google and there are lots of complaint about overcharge and bedside manner. Very accurate.

Dr. Xue has seen me 4 times and has been arrogant and rude all 4 appointments! My husband and I…read morewill not be returning to her care! She does not listen! When explaining the pain from my recent herniated discs she snarled at me that if it was that bad maybe I should be in the ER instead of her office! I was in the ER twice and she knows that! They sent me to her for further evaluation! Geez, this woman is frustrating to say the least! furthermore, she bad mouthed my former doc of 15 years! I will be making a formal complaint as I think she is mentally disconnected and I do not want another chronically ill person to deal with her arrogance and inability to treat.

I would not recommend this doctor to anyone. She was pushy and rude. Her bedside manner was…read moreterrible. She wasn't thorough during my exam and was unnecessarily rough. I don't feel like she listened to my concerns. All the questions I asked were met with snarky one sentence remarks. She pushed treatments on me with no regard for my opinion nor my financial status at the time. Furthermore, during my pelvic exam she didn't even wear gloves. A fact I hadn't noticed until after because she had been so quick and forceful. I have never had such a painful experience getting a pap smear done.

We just moved to Portland so trying to investigate a doctor here but realized the great doctor (Dr. Glynn-Thami) that I had been seeing for five years back in Washington hasn't been reviewed on Yelp as yet. Dr. Glynn-Thami is great, easy to talk to and down to earth. She has over 20 years of practice and is a really calming influence. She refers you to specialists when it's beyond her area of expertise and doesn't unnecessarily medicate. She is my OB GYN and was my doctor all through the time I was pregnant with my now three year old. Given that she is family practice, is convenient that she also sees our toddler for her well child check-ups. If only Dr. Glynn Thami lived in Portland since we've moved here and struggling finding a doctor here... :(

Dr. Glynn-Thami was my doctor for approximately 12 years. Sadly, I moved away from the community 2…read moreyears ago and have not been able to replace her as of yet. I cannot say enough about how kind, compassionate and truly patient she was through the years. Though I'm in excellent health, I am not an easy patient to deal with as I prefer natural / holistic solutions to everyday health issues, shy away from most vaccinations and only take pharmaceutical drugs as a last resort. Though she's very traditional (and knowledgeable) in her approach to health care, she always listened to my concerns and never tried to force me into anything I wasn't comfortable with. In addition to being an all around great physician, she is also very personable and has a truly gifted bedside manner.

Just saw her for first time this month. Really, really like her. She was very nice, kind,…read morecompassionate, and also very professional. Her assistant was great, helpful and friendly as well. I need a new Family Physician, so I think I will stick with her....

Not broken (woo hoo)! Doctors advice was "take Aleve for anti-inflammatory for one week". Might have been good advice if it had just taken place (but clearly i'd already tried that :) I'm no medical professional, but a third week Aleve will not magically help me regain motor skills :) I think I might have been better helped by a faith healer (same results minus the copay and deductible). So sad... She was so nice in person! I guess I'll be returning to another doctor who will actually be concerned about my lack of motor skills after now almost three weeks :) One thumb down (I'd put the other thumb down but I still can't move it). She gained one star for being concerned at the time; just wish she remained concerned after I'd left the office.

I should also not need to wait two weeks to have the privilege of visiting the office for said results. Doctor also lectured me instead of asking me if I'm already aware. Also my blood pressure was taken with a residential grade blood pressure machine, it did kept pumping and we had to open the cuff to release it. All in all, in bellevue and the surrounding areas, there are tons of doctors, I recommend skipping this one.
