Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I luv Vanderbilt because of much kindness by many through a difficult time in my life.

Huge Ego, Full of it
Eng is all about herself. When someone has to tell you how good they are, it is a sign. I received 2nd opinions from 3 other prominent oncologists nationwide, and all 3 of them had the same opinion of Eng.

Very poor communication skills with patients. Never once felt like she was listening to or addressing our concerns. Always in a hurry. Patronizing attitude.

Dr Eng is a highly intelligent, extremely competent medical oncologist who I wholeheartedly recommend. She is profoundly professional yet compassionate - I trust her implicitly. In fact I have referred family, friends and even other physicians to Dr Eng. Over the last 13 years, she has always been accessible - answering email questions usually within an hour. Dr Eng saved my life. I was diagnosed stage 4 after my first surgery in 2003. Next April 25th I will be a 14 year cancer survivor.

Over a year ago, I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. The first oncologist I saw gave me no hope and very grateful I listened to my family and friends to come to MD Anderson. I love Dr. Eng! She is caring, understanding, positive, patient, and always cheerful. I trust her wholeheartedly and have full confidence I am getting the best care. I make the trip to Houston every other week and have no complaints because my life and Dr. Eng are worth it! Her staff is just as great!

Dr. Eng is the best doctor. I was 32 and diagnosed with stage 4 rectal cancer and over a year later I feel better than ever. She knew I needed an aggressive treatment so we went full force. She has been by my side every step of the way. She truly cares about each and every patient and wants the best for them. She is who you want by your side when fighting this awful disease.

Dr. Eng is truly one of the best doctors at MD Anderson! She is incredibly smart and unbelievably nice. She is always at the top of her game and is very kind with delivering news. No matter how many patients she has, she makes me feel important. She is a great listener and always takes time to answer all of my questions. She has all ways been there for me every step of the way through my treatment. I've been seeing her since January 2013 and I wouldn't have it any other way! She's truly special!

Waiting time might be long for Dr. Eng, but she's worth it. Incredibly competent and caring. When it comes to GI cancers, she's a rock star.

Dr. Eng really knows her field of study. A year ago I was in pain, in bed and waiting to die. A year later I am back to work and looking forward to surviving this cancer.

LAC in Arlington, TX – Apr 07, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Eng?
My first appointment as a consultation I waited 5 hours to see Dr. Eng and she spent approximately 5-10 minutes with me reviewing my case. Seemed impatient with my questions about my treatment plan and refused to create a plan I could take back to my local physician to implement. Overall, very disappointed.
