Dr. Tse puts on a fake face, outwardly polite and friendly. When it comes to medical skills, it is way below average. My visits usually lasted less than 10 minutes. He never asked me to keep a log of my high blood pressure to show him. Hardly ever adjusted my medications, if I have any questions, or pertinent information to share. During l.5 years, no advice on how to slow down the decline on my GFR score was ever given. Very sad. No pre-dialysis information given. I had to google everything by myself.. The doctor never takes the time to return phone calls. His office staff is just as incompetent as the doctor. No follow ups and patients have to make repeated phone calls for the same request. If you value your life, you deserve better. Find another nephrologist.

I have been a patient at this location for over 4 years and it has gone downhill precipitously in…read morethat time. I understand that most practices are much worse these days thanks to the hellscape that is the US healthcare system but it's still disappointing. I'm stuck in an Optum HMO plan with Blue Shield so maybe some of the issues here are due to Optum, who knows. I just know this office used to be better. I am rarely able to get an appointment with my primary care doctor within less than 2 weeks for an emergent medical issue. There's a NP there who is fine (the previous NP was much better but she just disappeared one day) but it's not clear that care is being coordinated within the office at all. I sometimes just give up and go to urgent care. Dr. Truong is now scheduling over a year out for annual wellness exams. I don't even think Kaiser is that bad. When you try to call the office, you're on hold sometimes for up to 20 minutes. I think the office is overbooking the doctors so they don't have time to provide quality patient care anymore. Dr. Truong is great but it's clear she is overworked. My labs for my annual wellness exam, which I was advised needed to be run 2-3 weeks prior to the exam, had some irregular results. I thought someone might call before the exam to discuss or possibly request repeat labs. No one did so I anxiously waited almost 3 weeks for my appointment (because it got rescheduled twice even though I made it 8 months prior) and when I got to the exam, it seemed like Dr. Truong hadn't even had time to look at them yet; it seemed like she was reviewing them in front of me in real time. I did need to have some of the labs re-run, which was frustrating because if the report had been reviewed when I had it done, I could have had the follow up bloodwork done before my appointment and maybe had some answers. When I arrived at LabCorp for the repeat labs that were ordered, they hadn't received an order from my doctor. Since this office won't provide patients with a written order, I had nothing to give them. They also won't provide written referrals and those aren't sent via the patient portal either; you have to wait weeks on end for them to come via snail mail. Being a patient at this office is an exercise in willpower and self-advocacy. Don't expect anyone to follow up on any medical issues you might have or concerning lab results; you're going to have to do that on your own here. Be prepared to advocate for yourself and ask for the referrals and tests you need.

Love love love getting the next wellness check in the books so I don't have to worry about it. Medical care can be stressful so I'm grateful that this place and staff makes life a little easier.

It saddens me to have to write this review, but I must. I saw this doctor yesterday, and several…read morethings concerned me: 1. Despite filling out, in the waiting room, a list of my current medications, the very first thing she did was start reading from a VERY old list of medications form my history, which she presumably got from a database. Of course I immediately told her that I no longer take the medications she was mentioning. I had to direct her to the form that her own staff had asked me to fill out. 2. Despite the above, she remained focused upon one particular medication that I haven't taken for at least 6 years. She incorrectly believed that that medication is only for diabetes. She asked me, "Are you diabetic?" I answered, "No." "Really? You aren't diabetic?" I was already annoyed to be asked the question again, but I answered no. Then she said, "But you took [name of medication], which suggests to me that you're diabetic. Are you sure?" At this point I was very annoyed. I said, "Ma'am, you've asked me the same question three times, and I've answered it the same way, each time. No matter how many times you ask me the question, the answer will be the same. You seem unaware that that medication has more than one use. It surprises me that you don't know that." (I then told her the other reason I was given that medication, years ago.) 3. A similar thing happened with one of my current medications. She saw the name and asked, "Are you HIV-positive." I said, "No, I'm not." This time, to avoid the "back and forth," I gave her the exact reason I'm taking that medication, which is taken by approximately half a million Americans. But she kept asking questions that indicated she knew nothing about that use, which is simply bizarre. You can't watch TV without seeing ads for it, and it's been that way for years. How does an American physician in 2024 NOT know about this? 4. Finally, she saw that I take medication for anxiety. Later, she asked what I do for a living. When I told her I work in entertainment, she replied, "Well, if you do something that's so much fun, why on earth are you anxious"? That question is disqualifying. This person has a medical degree and practices in the United States--yet has no CLUE what anxiety disorder is. She thinks that if you work in entertainment, your work must be nothing but "fun" (instead of extremely stressful, which is what it's actually like). Furthermore, my anxiety has nothing to do with my work. But she just assumed that one must be related to the other, which is a profoundly naive and presumptive position. I'm frankly STUNNED that this person was given a medical degree.
