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.

Don't know what I did to upset my doctor after man
Went to my doctor that I've been going to for years without any problem for a problem to my right knee what I got was an abusive conversation insulting me and my mental state in every way possible and physically making my right knee worse by his yanking and twisting with force and looking at me and saying range of motion range of motion I left in tears and in shock 2 days later I'm still in shock of how I was treated this is no exaggeration I'm 64 years old what a horrifying experience!!!!!!!!! The whole time I kept thinking what did I do that made my doctor so angry with me. Was it the two messages at the office that I left one was kind of garbled so I waited a day and left another one but it wasn't rude . Again I've been with this doctor like 8 years at least never had an issue he was not personable but this time he was awful and mean and belittling I never want to see that man again in my life what is this world coming to I went there for knee pain for goodness sake and left worse!!

Dr Tai was incredible rude and disrespectful. He didn’t listen, he interrupted and he was argumentative. Had one appointment and never went back.

Dr Tai provides direct and understanding care. Spends more time with patients than normally expected from other providers. Have recommended him and now my wife and a friend are also appreciative patients.

Dr. Tai was my provider for years. I was referred to him following a serious medical condition based on his expertise and experience. Both of those qualities he has without a doubt, but what he lacks is compassion and active listening skills. Hard to get a word in edge wise, and the client is clearly not the expert on their own body. Quite dismissive and most of our time was spent re-reviewing my medical history each every visit. I had enough finally and decided to seek new care elsewhere. :/
