He was not only humorous with his presentation but it was extremely informative as well!

This was my fourth visit here over the years. I absolutely am terrified of going to the doctors but…read more100% love Dr. Truong. I haven't seen her in about 4 years but she's still so warm and welcoming. Check in was easy, front desk staff was friendly, and the assistants were sweet and reassuring.

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.

She wanted to make sure I was able to get the test I needed before the lab closed that day. I am so grateful for their level of care.

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.
