My father was seen by Dr. Le this week and he was wonderful. He was knowledgable, kind, and informative. He was very empathetic, addressed all concerns, and had a calm and sincere bedside manner. read more

Rude staff. Uninterested attitude. Never met the Dr. The staff is so unprofessional that i tequested another nuero from my insurance. They acted like it was an inconvenience to give background info for my reason ro see the dr. First impression always correct read more

Dr. Le saved my life. Not only he diagnosed me within one week (which for my diagnosis is extremely fast), he discussed all my options and patiently explained always many questions over and over. He made sure I am well informed but also gave me so much needed hope. Dr. Le has not only extremely impressive career background but he has also a great attitude and I'm always looking forward to my appointment (although in an ideal world I wouldn't need a neurologist). Dr. Le is nothing short of amazing doctor and person. read more

I am a patient of Dr. Dean Le , who I feel, is the best neurologist ever! I was battling with a neurological condition and no one could actually find the correct diagnosis and he did. He thinks outside of the box and all of his treatment has improved my quality of life! He is very empathetic, kind and really listens and spends all the time that I need. I have Primary Lateral Sclerosis which is a degenerative disease that has no cure, and Peripheral Neuropathy. Since my PLS has no cure and it is progressive, I always thought, as it progressed, there would be nothing more that could be done and I would just have to live with it. I was in severe pain in my feet and my legs due to spasticity and the peripheral neuropathy. I reported this to him and he recommended a medication that helps to regrow nerves and I feel that this has helped me and when my spasticity increased , he introduced a new treatment modality, which I just had today, and he implemented this with great care and understanding. So, with every symptom and condition that I have reported to him, he always finds the correct treatment that has improved my quality of life! And psychologically, he makes me feel like I have someone "On my team !" THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. LE!!! read more

Dr. Le is a very kind and caring doctor. He is very thorough and takes the time to explain everything. He came highly recommended by my doctor. I was very impressed. You will be too if you need a neurologist. His staff also was timely and efficient. I did not have to wait long at all. read more

Highly recommend Dr. Le. Extremely knowledgeable and very kind. His education is extraordinary. A very brilliant doctor.

I had a great experience with this doctor. He was kind and diagnosed my problem quickly.

Dr Le is a talented neurologist, but what makes the experience even better is he's a really good person. Highly recommend Dr Le. read more

Dr. Dean Le has brought me back to life. After a concussion 4 years ago, I was battling debilitating migraines 3-4 days a week. He took the time to really listen to me and took me seriously. We tried a few different options and finally found a combination of treatment that worked. No words can express how grateful I am. Thank you Dr. Le. Kim P. read more

Dr. Le has been my (& my wife's) Neurologist for about 4 years. He has treated me for 3 TIA's, and my wife for Parkinson symptoms. He has been brilliant with his medical diagnoses and treatments. But more importantly, he has been compassionate and very caring with how we have been dealing with our medical conditions. We have regular teleconference appointments so he can stay current with our conditions. We reach out with questions, and he responds almost immediately. His referrals to other specialists have always been beneficial. He is a doctor's doctor, and I highly recommend him to all. read more

Arrogant and sloppy. Tried to prescribe a medication 3 different times that my mother had a serious adverse reaction to. Stay away read more

I wish to express my deep appreciation for the care I have received from Dr Le for the treatment and relief of migraines. Dr. Le has been treating me for migraines for almost a year now, and thanks to him, I have noticed great improvement. Dr. Le is very caring and understanding and I highly recommend his practice. read more

It's my opinion that Dr. Le is one of those God complex, arrogant doctors that should not be practicing. My stepfather has extreme dementia, now to the point where he needs constant care. As you may know, this doesn't usually happen all at once. My mother brought up the signs of this dementia many years ago just looking for help. Rather than diagnose or even test for these issues, Dr, Le laughed it off saying "It is usually the wife that is having these problems." Super sexist and irresponsible, don't you think? My mother, as sharp as she was 50 years ago, kept pushing to try to get help... something. All he did was avoid her and eventually this escalated to him screaming at her that SHE was the one with problems. My step dad is now completely gone, doesn't know where he is, and there is little doubt that this may have been avoided if Dr. Le had at least just been a human being. So, if you're on Yelp researching, please move on to someone else. We're contemplating a malpractice suit at this point. read more

Dr Le is a brilliant doctor! I took my elderly mom to see Dr. Le for headaches, tinnitus, possible dementia, etc. Things got so bad almost to the breaking point for my mom and our family. I honestly didn't think she would have any quality of life with her severe tinnitus...until she saw Dr. Le! Dr. Le treated her with respect, empathy and compassion. He listened and that really made her feel comfortable. Her symptoms have improved significantly! My mom and our family are very thankful that we found Dr. Le! read more

Good doctor. Horrible staff, These people never answer the phones. Dr. Dean Le, recommended that I have an EEG an OV which is very important, the assistant gave me a paper with the date no the time. when I realize it was not time on the paper, Prior to the appointment date, I called several times, left messages, no one bother to call back, today 2/2824, I called, a new person answered, the appointment was never scheduled, so Angie, a new assistant, tried to scheduled for March 28, a month from today!!! when I asked why is Janet, Dr. Le's assistant or anyone answering my calls, the answer was, we get too many call, Janet is working for another doctor, that answer to me is unacceptable. Dr. Le also recommended and MRI to the brain, that same day, paper work for that was done, I scheduled my appointment, I got it done, i found out about my health problems through the MRI Report, the Online information sent to the doctor. Prior to that, the Dr. Also recommended a new Lab work, his assistant told me she was going to send the lab request directly to the LAB, before I left the office, that they not longer gave the lab form to the Patient???? she never did, I made my appointment got there, nothing was received, so never got the Lab work done. they do not seem to care!!! Needles to say I am going to call the insurance company. read more

In September, I took a nasty fall, head first on a stone floor. I was diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome and a TBI and subsequently, I was referred to Dr. Dean Le. Dr. Le was professional, personable and treated me with genuine compassion and concern. I suffered from chronic migraines from my injury. His treatment plan was successful and I have not had a migraine in over a month! Highly recommend. read more

Office staff is inefficient, does not return calls. Cancelled appt.

We zelled doctor Le $60 to fill out a DMV form and haven't gotten that back. It's been a month.. called them a couple days ago and the office would scatter my calls to different offices. What bothers me the most is I haven't gotten any of my test results back from the eeg. read more

In 2019 I had a brain bleed which led to a subdural hematoma and a seizure that lasted more than four hours (status epilepticus). I spent the next 8 days in the ICU, unable to recognize anyone, including myself, for the first 5. My wife arranged to find two doctors to guide my recovery. One is an extraordinary brain surgeon and the other, Dr. Dean A. Le, a neurologist. Since that time Dr. Le has been a constant comfort in managing my anti-seizure medication and listening to my concerns especially those which require changes in my prescriptions. You won't find a better doctor. read more

It has been a wonderful experience to work with Dr. Dean Le in resolving my Parkinson and neurological related problems. Dr Le is extremely well read and continuously conducts research in the best interest of his patients. Dr. Le's ability to communicate and explained complex matters in understandable terms is an ability that very few doctors can do. I can only give Dr. Lee the best possible recommendation. read more

My horrible migraine was diagnosed by Dr. Preston who was another excellent Neurologist. He recommended Dr. Le to me to get special treatment for my migraines and hemifacial spasm. It was amazing! I definitely would like to see Dr. Le if I had stroke or any neurotic problem. Some people mentioned about receptionists of his office. I can share their feeling with them, too but the doctors are excellent! read more

I love Dr. Le and highly recommend him! He and the staff have always been nice and helpful! Especially during the past two years in these difficult times! People are on edge and can be so mean and grouchy! Myself included! Trying to practice patience and kindness! You need a good Neurologist, go see Dr. Le Denise read more

Every year I see Dr. Le for medication management. I scheduled an appointment for December 14th. I arrived early for my appointment with Dr. Le and waited over 30 minutes to be called into the patient's room. I waited another 30 minutes in the patient's room and Dr. Le did not show up. I wasn't provided any explanation why he wasn't there and just asked if I would like to reschedule. Fast forward to February and I called Dr. Le's office to schedule an appointment for medication management. I left two voicemail messages on his assistant's voicemail. I did not receive a callback. So after being a patient for over 15 years, I have been discarded probably because I left a negative review. I now must find a new neurologist. I called Dr. Le's office twice to get my medical records. Since no one answered the phone, I left voicemail messages. No one has returned my calls. I have always been very satisfied with Dr. Le and his ability as a doctor. I'm not sure if he is experiencing some personal issues that are causing this disconnect or if it's the office staff that is not doing their job. I guess I will never know since the staff will not return my calls. read more

Avoid him like the plague.... I've been a patient of Dr Le's for over four years. I work for a Fortune 100 firm with good Anthem BC insurance. His office called me in December to set up a February yearly 15min appointment via FaceTime. His office even contacted me as a reminder days before. At the scheduled time no call came (strike 1) so I called his office. He had cancelled my appointment without telling me. His scheduler Erica informed me Dr Le would not take my insurance but I was welcome to be a cash customer at $150 for a FaceTime appointment. What sort of Dr of any kind does this let alone a neurologist who has a 10min call to simply ask you if you you've had your first seizure in many years (no) before replenishing your prescription. But it gets better... I called Anthem and they show he accepts their insurance. Now sometimes Drs do drop some policies so I called Dr Le's office manager Janet to only to discover she was using incorrect group number (strike 2). Ok, that must be it, right? So now that they had the correct Anthem group number I call back Dr Le's scheduler Erica to say I'm ready to schedule and that their office must have had a mixup and she tells me that there has been no mixup and Dr Le is not taking my Anthem insurance and no further explanation is offered (STRIKE 3). Really, this is just ridiculous. It was a circus and you should take your business doctor who cares. read more

I have total confidence in Dr. Le. He is very wise, methodical, and kind. He has basically cured my 10 years of terrible migraines with new medication. read more

Dr. Dean A. Le has been my neurologist for 15 years. He originally diagnosed my condition almost immediately when others could not. He's very personal, caring and most importantly, a terrific neurologist. I trust him so much that I have recommended him to several friends over the years. You'll be in great hands if you choose him for your neurological needs. read more

This doctor is the bet ever! He not only ha great bed side manners but he is very smart as well. He is always on time and takes the time to explain everything! He is the best neurologist I have ever seen both for me for my headaches and for my mom's dementia! read more

I have been a loyal patient of Dr Le since April of 2018. I see Dr. Le at least every 90 days if not more. I love Dr. Le ! This has been very very tough for me but Dr Le's smile and pleasant ways always sooth me before the storm. I know he always has my best interests at heart. read more

Dr. Le is by far one of the best doctors that I have seen in all my years. Not only is he conscientious of the situations and empathetic of the pain that his patients are going through, but he also does his best work for his patients so that they may receive the care that they so desperately need. From working with the insurance companies, working around my schedule, dealing with the restrictions of COVID, Dr. Le and his staff have always taken the time to ensure that I was receiving proper care. One of the many reasons why I could not be happier with my care, is the fact that in addition to trying to treat the symptoms of the issue/disease, he also works to discover the underlying source. When I visit with him, I do not feel like a numbered patient and instead I feel as if he is a friend and although treating me is one of his primary concerns, he always is sure to ask how my family is doing and is happy when he hears of their accomplishments. For these reasons and many more I could not be happier with Dr. Le, and hope that more doctors strive to the have a bed-side manner that he does. In addition, his staff understands the constraints of patients and has helped me many times with my insurance and treatment. Thank you, Dr. Le. read more

One of my favorite doctors. Always kind, and caring. Takes his time trying to solve the problem at hand. He's really helped me a lot.

One more review complaining about his ridiculous office staff. Looks like a revolving door of bad assistants. Now there is "X." One neurosurgeon has told me I need major surgery: 5 laminectomies and then fusion. He sent a detailed test requisition over for EMG and nerve conduction studies to see if maybe we can do fewer surgeries or use different techniques. A detail oriented requisition. I called X (Dr. Le's bitchy scheduler) to see if it arrived. First of all, this is her voice message (with a pissed off voice): "Leave me ONE MESSAGE with your name, DOB, etc." so I left her a specific message asking if they received the report. She calls back, "Did you want something?" I said "Did you receive the requisition?" X: "I haven't seen it." Me: "Could you look in the file?" Silence... She said "I am scheduling you for x date at 10:15." I said "How long will it take?" X: "15 minutes." I said "For EMG and nerve conduction studies?" X: "They are the same thing and its always 15 minutes." Is this Jiffy Lube? I read that they can take 45-120 minutes (see below), but sure, let's base the decision to cut off 5 vertebrae and fuse them together on a 15 minute test. They will just get the needle in and then a buzzer will sound and I will be thrown out. From MyHealthAlberta.ca: (notice that the tests are two different things) --An EMG may take 30 to 60 minutes. --Nerve conduction tests may take from 15 minutes to 1 hour or more. It depends on how many nerves and muscles your doctor tests. https://myhealth.alberta.ca/Health/aftercareinformation/pages/conditions.aspx?hwid=ug5907 So you have to wonder-- A: Is X is dumb as a rock, or B: is the doctor a hack? I will not be finding out as I am shopping for a new neurologist! read more

Nothing but great things to say about Dr. Le. He saw my husband right away, was very knowledgeable and took over where another doctor failed us. Thank you Dr. Le! read more

I've been now waiting for over an hour. My appointment was for 45 min ago. The worst staff in the world. Seriously. I've worked in a doctors office. I get it. This is the craziest sh$t I've ever seen. The doctor is a good doctor but everyone around him is horrible read more

Dr Le was the 2nd neurologist, out of 5, that I consulted about suspected MS symptoms back in 2005. He performed my lumbar puncture which showed positive signs for MS or other inflammation in the spinal fluid. I told Dr Le that I had previously had optic neuritis in 1990, and that a year earlier in 2004, a urologist suggested I have a workup for MS. MS is pretty hard to diagnose, but the brilliant infectious disease doctor that I had been referred to, told me to see Dr Le because he was 'Stanford trained'. Dr Le refused to believe that I had MS. He dismissed me as an anxious female, basically told me to go home and shut up, and would not give me steroid treatments for what was later correctly diagnosed as transverse myelitis, associated with MS. He also took it upon himself to send a letter to the 3rd neurologist that I consulted for a second opinion. I did not ask him to do this, and of course the 3rd neurologist decided to agree with his opinion, so it truly was NOT an unbiased second opinion. Since I worked for a hospital associated with Saddleback at the time, and had previously worked at Saddleback Memorial Hospital, I wrote a letter to the CEO of the hospital about this incident, along with their ER also completely missing the correct diagnosis. Dr Le then tried to retaliate by sending me to collections. He has a very poor bedside manner, and cannot think outside the box, which is necessary in cases that are hard to diagnose. Thank GOD for neurologists who are specialized in MS, or I would still be undiagnosed!!!! read more

I needed some form of relief for the neuropathic pain in my feet. After numerous appointments and procedures the pain is even worse, zero help. read more

Very professional. Very intelligent. Great success with neurological and migraine treatment.

His assistant is literal trash. Kept arguing about what I need, and then after putting me on hold for 10 minutes said "thanks for your patience" while talking over me and hung up. read more

I didn't have a good experience. Saw him once and that will be it. He used the nurse to explain that I should return for another appointment just to get the referral for labs. Then when I asked why he said I should see another doctor, so that's what I did and won't be going back to Dr. Le. read more

I've met with multiple Neurologists within the last 2 decades - many were good with a few that I've completely steered clear from. But Dr. Le is by all means THE best I've met! His passion for his career shines through with his thorough explanations and despite the reason behind my appointments he has never failed to provide me with some time during the end of my appointments to ensure he's met all my needs! If you need a Neurologist that sincerely cares I'd highly recommend Dr. Le! read more

Dr. Le and his staff (Megan, Arianna, and his office manager Peggy) are going to seriously hurt someone, if they haven't already. I saw him for more than 10 years for chronic migraines. I've tried every migraine medication that's ever existed, for the last 20 years my migraines have been chronic and debilitating. With Dr. Le, after all the usual migraine meds (that I'd already tried) didn't work, he just pushed Botox. Even after I did 3 rounds and had HORRIBLE side effects he tried to get me to keep doing it (first round of Botox I asked him what the side effects could be, he said "less wrinkles, lol"). When I refused to do anymore Botox he basically said he couldn't offer me anymore help. This was around the time Aimovig was making a lot of news but not out yet. I asked him specifically about Aimovig, and he said "it's not available yet and you won't be able to afford it when it is" (without any knowledge of my financial situation). I asked my primary care physician (PCP) about Aimovig later that same week and he gave me the paperwork to receive 3 months of Aimovig injections for free (I would have gladly paid $1500 for those 3 shots, just for a chance at a new life). That's when I stopped seeing Dr. Le for my migraines. A year or so later my PCP wanted me to have an EEG to confirm my neuropathy. My PCP referred me to a different neurologist in Dr. Le's office, who I made an appointment with 2 weeks out. The night before my EEG appointment the office called me saying they had to reschedule my appointment with Dr. Le because "I was Dr. Le's patient so the other Dr. couldn't see me" (my insurance had changed since the last time I was in, it had been long enough that this was definitely not an issue in that sense). I explained this appointment had nothing to do with migraines and I preferred to see the Dr. my PCP referred me to. They said it wasn't possible and made me an appointment another week out with Dr. Le. Apparently the appointment with Dr. Le for my EEG was not an appointment for an EEG, it was just a "consult". So I told him the issues I was having and why my PCP wanted me to see the other Dr. for an EEG. Dr. Le said "ok, I guess we'll schedule you an appointment for an EEG". We booked an appointment (a month out), and I left very frustrated. Once again, before my EEG appointment, they called me the day before my appointment and said they would be cancelling it. The receptionist was very vague about why they had to cancel. One reason she gave was that Dr. Le didn't think an EEG was necessary; so I explained the EEG was requested by my PCP, who already received authorization from my insurance for the test, which meant it wasn't Dr. Le's call as to whether or not the test was necessary for me. The receptionist continued to try and make excuses as to why they were cancelling, but I kept insisting on a valid reason. Finally she said "you have an HMO, so your insurance won't pay him for seeing you again this soon" (cause I had a "consult" the month before). She went on to say "you'll have to wait until he can get paid again from your insurance for him to see you". I lost it!!!! Longer story short, they got me in 3 days later for my EEG. At my EEG appointment Dr. Le didn't say more than 5 words to me before he started sticking me with the needles. No instructions or anything. After my very short test was done he said "your test is completely normal, the symptoms you're experiencing are all psychosomatic" and left the room. In other words, my symptoms are all in my head, and he knew this from the 12 minutes he spent with me that day. I left bawling and continued to live the next couple years with pain, numbness, and coordination that's become so bad I'm constantly covered in bruises from being so clumsy. Recently I had a traumatic experience that brought this all full circle. A tiny scratch on my toe went unnoticed and unfelt for quite some time because my feet are so numb from the neuropathy. This toe scratch almost got me hospitalized me for blood poisoning. Since then (3 years after Dr. Le's EEG) I have had another EEG that showed very real and severe neuropathy. The exact same neuropathy that Dr. Le said was "all in my head". TL;DR DO NOT SEE THIS MAN! Even more so don't see anyone associated with this man!! Best case they'll make you feel lesser than, worst case they'll cause your progressive disease to go undiagnosed for years; causing you irreversible damage that could have been prevented or at least maintained. read more
