Team
What patients say
Vibe: family-friendly
The practice receives strong praise for clinical skill, gentle technique, and personable staff, particularly Dr. Nguyen and Dr. Ping. However, administrative communication failures—especially regarding medical clearances, insurance denials, and follow-up coordination—significantly detract from the experience. Treatment equity concerns regarding Medicaid patients are raised, suggesting potential inconsistency in patient care based on insurance status.
