My husband had a first-time visit with Dr. David Vaughan at Feeney-Vaughan in Daly City recently…read more We do not plan to see this doctor again. He was very abrupt, didn't even bother to introduce himself and acted like he couldn't be bothered to talk to us. The whole appointment had to have been about five whole minutes -- for a new patient exam! WTF? We were both really offended by his beside manner. He didn't even introduce himself. He was just like, "So what are you here for?" Well, excuse us for taking up your time! We explained when we scheduled the appointment that my husband is a new patient, needs a general physical and we'd just like to establish a relationship with a primary care doctor. Obviously the front desk hadn't communicated that to the doctor before he came in to meet with us! The guy had the warmth and personality of a block of ice. For a first time patient, he also didn't ask a whole lot of questions that you think would be relevant to assess someone's health! He was supposed to give my husband a physical, but barely did anything beyond check his blood pressure and order some blood tests -- several of which we had to specifically ask for. He kept asking us what we wanted...um, we want you to do your job and be our doctor! I personally like a doctor that asks relevant questions about diet, lifestyle, stress factors, etc., and he totally dropped the ball on that one. Ultimately, his lack of personality or caring attitude really turned both of us off. Beyond that, we're not even sure how good of a doctor he is because he didn't ask some fairly important, standard questions you would ask a new patient. We will continue to search for a better doctor. This guy just didn't give us a sense of confidence that we would be in good hands.

My old physician retired so I found Dr. Damon Lee in Daly City, CA, and had scheduled my first…read morevisit. I asked Datalink ITS (record keeper company) to send my complete medical history to his office. The form I filled out to authorize the release asked me for Dr. Damon Lee's office address and fax #. The form did not specify how they will deliver my records. I tried to get Dr. Lee's office email but the receptionist roared, "We don't have an email here!" then hang up. Nevertheless, they ended up faxing a 150 page to his office. His office called me hysterical about the whole thing yelling at me to make it stop. Frantically, I called Datalink and left a message, and also emailed them. Moreover, Dr. Damon Lee's office called me back and continuously yelled at me because Datalink could not stop the fax. I was also informed after being scolded that because of this, Dr. Damon Lee is refusing to see me. I was stunned and distressed with their decision not to see me because of this error made by a third party. I explained that this should not affect their decision to see a patient. I reported this incident to the Medical Board of California because I believe a physician should not refuse to see patients for inconsequential incidents such as this. The lady at the front desk is extremely vicious (I am using a nice word here). I can't even express in words how she screamed at me and didn't even let me speak. I managed to ask her though if she had seen the reviews about her on yelp and she simply said she didn't care and slammed the phone on me!

Best doctor ever !!! Years ago, I found the best doctor , Dr. Damon Lee, for my mother. I have…read moreabsolutely no doubt that she would not be alive today, and thriving as well as she is, if it were not for the consistent and brilliant care provided by Dr. Lee. My mother had a bad fall recently and had to be taken to the hospital Emergency Room. Although they checked her out and prescribed pain medication, they really didn't provide any advice for improving her health. Dr. Lee called us the very next day - as soon as he received the report from the hospital - and provided all the critical information that we needed to help my mother get better. Dr. Lee also arranged for in home health care visits by nurses and physical therapists to ensure a complete recovery. We would have never known how to arrange any of those kinds of medical visits. I wish I could give one million stars in my review because Dr. Lee deserves them. I appreciate that my 93 year old mother is feeling much better and is able to walk more each day - all because of Dr. Lee. His office staff of Barbara , Rosa , and everyone are truly wonderful too. They are always so sweet and patient when we are in for office visits. They have helped me so much in dealing with my mother's (often difficult) prescription medication mail service provider. We could not ask for a kinder, smarter, and more caring doctor than Dr. Damon Lee. He is simply the best !

My family and I truly cannot thank Dr. Chang enough for his life-saving work. In summary, a few years back my father's kidney function had declined significantly, which his primary care doctor had failed to inform him about despite blood tests etc. (this is a whole other story...). After several stints in the hospital and ICU, I searched frantically for a seasoned nephrologist and found Dr. Chang. He and his colleagues from Westbay Nephrology came to my father's aid and made repeated visits to the hospital to monitor my dad. The primary care doctor never visited my father once. Thanks in large part to Dr. Chang's expert care, my father's kidney function improved to the point where he did not need dialysis. Today my dad is stable and continues to see Dr. Chang regularly for his thorough care and expertise. We are so grateful for Dr. Chang.

5 years later, time for another colonoscopy!…read more This pre-colonoscopy visit went very well. For this visit I also met with Liz, a Nurse Practitioner who went through a very thorough discussion about my digestive situation. Dr. Tsuchiyose came in afterward and we discussed things a bit further, as well as moving forward with the procedure. The actual colonoscopy didn't happen here; it took place at the SOAR Surgery Center next-door to The Westin San Francisco Airport hotel. I wouldn't normally say I look forward to colonoscopies, but Dr. Tsuchiyose makes things a LOT easier for me!

I was referred to Dr. Tsuchiyose by my primary care provider when I told said PCP about my GI…read moresymptoms. For several years, I had been dealing with irritable bowel syndrome (alternating constipation and diarrhea), constant bloating (severe enough to make me look 6 months pregnant, even on an empty stomach), gas pains, and abdominal discomfort. In addition, I was noticing unintentional weight gain that I couldn't lose despite diet and exercise, worsening anxiety and brain fog, chronic fatigue, and irregular sleep. Prior to seeing Dr. T, I had visited both a functional medicine doctor and gasteroenterologist at Duke University Hospital; however, none of the interventions I was prescribed, including dietary changes, conventional antibiotics, and probiotics, led to even the slightest improvement in my symptoms. Consequently, I had high hopes that Dr. T could offer more effective treatments, as well as figure out what exactly was causing my GI symptoms. As a new patient, I felt that Dr. T's staff was difficult to work with, because it took a while to sort out insurance coverage and schedule my initial appointment. However, my consultation and subsequent follow-up appointments with Dr. T turned out to be quite fruitful. As it turned out, Dr. T diagnosed me with SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), leaky gut, and gastritis, all of which were most likely contributing to the GI symptoms I was struggling to control for years. Based on previous lab tests and prior interventions I had tried at Duke, Dr. T placed me on a step-by-step approach to help heal my GI tract. At first, I was prescribed supplements to treat my SIBO. Next, I was placed on another regimen to heal my leaky gut. In between appointments, Dr. T also ordered a repeat endoscopy, the purpose of which was to assess my stomach function and obtain tissue biopsies. Then, based on the endoscopy results, he recommended additional medications to strengthen my stomach and treat my gastritis. Lastly, he recommended an easy-to-digest diet to follow while on his healing protocol. From my initial appointment with Dr. T (back in September 2021) up until now, I have felt significant improvements in my gut health. Though I hesitate to say I am 100% healed, granted I still experience a couple of flare-ups throughout the month, I have noticed much less bloating, improved digestion after my meals, better tolerance of common food triggers (namely gluten), and more regular bowel movement patterns. Moreover, I slept better, felt less anxious, and even lost a couple of the pounds I had gained. I'm very fortunate to have been one of Dr. T's patients. It's evident that Dr. T puts a lot of care and attention to treating his clients, though a couple of criticisms I have are: *the supplements he prescribed me really added up over time. Given that I had to take them over the course of several months, buying enough to last me the duration of the treatment ended up being pretty expensive. *because Dr. T sees many other patients, I noticed that he often forgot which treatment regimens I completed vs. did not complete. This meant that during my follow-up appointments, I had to remind him of the supplements he had prescribed me at my last follow-up. All in all, I highly recommend Dr. T, especially for those struggling with digestive issues like SIBO.

According to her, Dr. Wong told her she was being "annoying" and advised her to find another primary care physician rather than return to his practice. My mother is not someone who complains easily, so hearing about her experience was especially disappointing.

Based on my mother's experience, I would not recommend Dr. Wong as a primary care physician.

I've been going to Dr. Hwang for about three years now. I have to say he is the best Internest I…read morehave ever had. He is kind and empathetic and immediately puts you at ease. You can usually get a pretty fast appointment. He also gives you as much time as you need. He's one of the few physicians I've encountered who's not an a clock. He's also incredibly conscientious and attentive. I had some anomolous blood test results a year ago. The cause was not immediately apparent. But he worked through the differential diagnoses and referred me to an world-class hematologist, who concluded that the anomolies were benign. Huge relief. When he makes referrals, the docs are invariably tops in their fields. And best of all, he responds to email. Heaven! His office staff is generally attentive and efficient. They are on a very good EMR system that has an excellent patient interface (myhealthonline). But it still has limitations in terms of sharing records with other providers, referrals to out-of-network docs, etc. Where that happens, you're back to faxing things back and forth which drives me crazy. Who has a fax machine anymore? It's like asking patients to use carbon paper and white-out. Net net, Hwang is tops. I'm frankly surprised he's still taking new patients. I'd have assumed he'd be full up by now.
