Had my first ever colonoscopy with Dr. Lee. My experience was more than satisfactory (under the…read morecircumstances). Dr. Lee has great staff, and his process is very smooth. He spend just enough time with during the first visit to explain everything, in simple terms, and answer any questions. On the day of the procedure, everything was done perfect. I don't remember the actual procedure as I fell asleep after the doctor told me that he was going to start administering the medicine. At these words I woke up, and I was all done! My wife picked me up, and I was completely up and running within hours. Fully recommend Dr. Lee, and will see him again in 10 years!

First, I would like to say that Dr. Lee is an excellent physician. He is patient, attentive, and…read morenever makes you feel rushed during appointments. He truly listens and takes the time to address concerns, which is greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, my experience with the front desk receptionist, LYNN, has been extremely disappointing. Interacting with her has been frustrating and discouraging. She comes across as very unprofessional and lacks the patience and compassion that are especially important in a medical office -- particularly when working with elderly patients or individuals who may struggle with technology, such as online portals or email communication. Instead of feeling supported, I often felt as though getting assistance or scheduling an appointment was an inconvenience to her. A medical practice should be welcoming and helpful from the very first point of contact, and that has not been my experience. It is frustrating and painful to deal with this woman. Dr. Lee provides wonderful care, but the front office experience does not reflect the same level of professionalism and compassion. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, as the right front desk staff can make a significant difference in patients' overall experience.

I asked him (a GI) if there was any connection with the brain and the gut and he immediately answered no despite hundreds of research studies that points to the fact there is a connection.

No bedside manner exists, personality is non-existent, and generally seems like a miserable person.

My friend, a retired nurse, provided me with the recommendation to see Dr Chin. When I arrived,…read morethe very first form the admin had me sign was a financial responsibility form for labs, etc. Hmm, that was the first red flag. My appointment was right before lunch, and he was late by 35 mins so by the time we were done, it was during the admin staffs' lunch hour. After the 15min with Dr Chin, I left the office to use the restroom prior to picking up the lab boxes. When I returned, I found the door to the office to be locked, and spent 5mins outside waiting for the admin to open the door. Why would they lock the door? This isn't a supermarket or Trader Joe's with last minute shoppers trying to get in! The doctor ordered 2 lab tests, and when the admin (heavy set, Filipina I believe) provided me the lab supplies, considering the financial liability form I signed I had a few questions regarding Medicare coverage, she was very short with me. I think she was irritated at dealing with me during her lunch break. Net, she had no answers regarding coverage, and told me to call the numbers on the lab forms. Of course, when I called both numbers the following days (2 diff labs), no one returned my calls. After she provided the lab supplies I left but forgot to grab my hat. So I am banging on the locked door, this time for 10mins before the admin came to open the door. I tried calling but of course no answer, similar to the complaints and comments of the other reviewers. While Dr Chin may be a solid GI doc, the whole experience was a turn off. This medical group should consider spending more $ on the admins/experience, it's not like they cannot afford it. I ended up seeing a GI doc at Stanford who is excellent, informs me of what Medicare covers, and very happy I made the switch.

Dr. Kao and his staff were not only professional but also incredibly warm, caring, and empathetic. He's a doctor who really knows how to get to the bottom of things (no, that won't be the last pun...unfortunately). I was initially nervous about having my procedure done without anesthesia, but the team immediately put me at ease. They explained everything thoroughly and made sure I felt calm and relaxed throughout the process. To my surprise, the procedure wasn't bad at all! Seriously, on a pain scale (1-10) it never got more than a 2--and that was only for about a second. I know pain tolerance is subjective, but I had NO pain during this procedure (Pain is in the brain!). Dr. Kao and his team's calming presence and genuine concern for my comfort made all the difference. I feel bad because I forgot the name of the lovely lady who was talking in my ear and calming me, literally the entire time, while Dr. Kao was....getting to know me. The whole team kept me calm and even made me laugh during the procedure--Who knew a colonoscopy could be this much fun?! Dr. Kao and his team are not just skilled, they're also incredibly compassionate. He and his team never made me feel like just another patient; they treated me like a person and I genuinely felt cared for. So, if you're looking for a gastroenterologist who will handle your care with dignity, professionalism, and maybe even a little humor, I can't recommend Dr. Kao enough.
