It's been 10 years since my last one, so it was a distant blur. Her facility is very modern. The surgery center (National Ambulatory), next door, is just as nice. On the day of the test, the people were extremely pleasant and informative. Walked me through all the steps and what to expect. The anesthesiologist reminded me of a slender version of Dwayne "the rock" Johnson. :D Very nice guy. Dr. Nguyen showed up on time and assured me that all will go well. Once I woke up from the exam, it was like I took a short nap. All good and ready to go home. It was a very smooth process and I would highly recommend Dr. Nguyen and her team!

From my initial appointment through today, your concern, medical knowledge, expertise and patient care is impeccable. You truly are amazing and care about your patients and it shows by how you have treated me. From my initial appointment, in a matter of weeks you accomplished having my liver biopsy, Lynch Syndrome diagnosis, colonoscopy, pathology report, ct scan and referral to Dr. Yee. You have an amazing gift and I am so glad God chose you to be not only a doctor, but my doctor. I would like Sutter to know what an amazing asset you are to your patients. Your intervention in my life, saved my life, no doubt! I pray God will always shine His face upon you and give you His favor, because doctors that are truly focused on patient centered care, are few and far between and you Dr. Nazareno are one of those rare gems!

Her expertise is "Gastroenterology" It is highly recommended that once you turn 50, you should have your first colonoscopy screening. Well that time is here for me once again. I first met Dr. Lee a few weeks prior to my procedure. At our mandatory meeting in her office, she discussed the procedure and all the possible risks involved. She also answered any and all questions that I had. After meeting with Dr. Lee in person, my apprehension were put at ease ! I found Dr. Lee to be bubbly and full of energy ! I couldn't be happier with Dr. Lee! If and when I have my next colonoscopy , I would not hesitate to give Dr. Linda Lee a call! (Highly Recommended)

My family pays $39,900 per year in premiums for the privilege to be able to NOT have to get referrals from a primary care doctor as this is NOT an HMO plan. The lady that answered the phone for Doctor Dam was TYLER and she was the least helpful rudest receptionist I have ever dealt with at any doctors office in my 50+ years. This is pathetic and dumbfounding to me that TYLER told me that her office policy from Doctor Dam is that she requires a referral regardless that I have Cadillac PPO insurance. This is not what I am being told by Blue Shield so, I am reporting Doctor Dam to Blue Shield that she is in breach of her contract regarding the service, terms and conditions of her accepting Blue Shield customers and is overriding their policies with her own. Customer NO service is what this is and unsettling to me!

Then I was told my referral was too vague. I asked my doctor to send a detailed referral. That was done and I waited and waited only to be told that it was in review again. Three different times I was told "they will call you tomorrow". That didn't happen nor have I ever received a call, so good luck people trying to get an appointment. I contacted another doctor, had a referral sent and got an appointment within two days.

Now my second colonoscopy was performed at the Sutter Health Surgery Center in Modesto on July 17, 2024. The Hospital's staff and the wonderful Dr. Vida Chen, a Gastroenterologist are "ALL SUPERIOR / FIVE STARS RATING" members of the medical field!! My wife and I NEVER in our 65 years of existence, ever met such a loving, caring, keen listeners, attentive, accommodating Doctor, or Hospital staff members ever before!! It was like we entered the fictional "Leave It To Beaver" Hospital zone, where EVERYONE is so sweet, and caring, something we NEVER experienced in the Bay Area or at any Peninsula Hospitals! The first 16 oz dose of the Suprep mixture, and the following two 16 oz doses of cold water made me so nausea! The second go around at 4 am the following morning wasn't as bad, and my stomach calmed down by the time I had to head to the Sutter Health Surgery Center. Upon entering the Sutter Health Surgery Center, and engaging with the delightful staff, a calmness flowed over my anxiety. And when the GREAT Dr. Vida Chen came to my bedside to met me, prior to the procedure and patiently had a personal one on one Q&A session with me. I felt SO AT PEACE!
