He told me he could take it off in the office in 10 minutes for just a specialist visit charge to my insurance ($50 in my case). I jumped at the chance. Dr. Gulessarian did the procedure less than a week later. He is a no-nonsense traditional doctor who will not talk to you like a baby yet will answer any and all questions. He even has a nice sense of humor. I'm going to take all of my skin issues to him in the future!

I saw Dr. Youn about five years ago and had an incredibly negative experience. Now that I have…read morereceived the care I needed from a more caring doctor, I feel it is important to share my experience with Dr. Youn so others can make an informed decision before seeing him. I scheduled my visit to discuss complications following a surgery in another state. Upon meeting Dr. Youn and telling him about this issue, I had my medical records in hand, which he refused to review. When I asked questions about how I can rectify my issue, he claimed he couldn't provide answers because he didn't know my medical history. If a doctor doesn't take the time to review records when offered, how can they provide adequate care? Beyond the lack of professionalism, his bedside manner was shockingly cold. I was met with dismissiveness and impatience, as if my concerns were an inconvenience. The entire interaction was incredibly rushed, with Dr. Youn giving a quick exam and giving little answers, seeming eager to leave the room before I even had time to ask questions and get dressed. Adding to the frustration, there was no patient portal or direct way to communicate with the doctor outside of limited phone hours, which is highly unusual for a medical practice. It's possible that this has changed over the past few years. Shortly after posting my review on Yelp and writing a letter to Dr. Youn, I received a call from him. He did not apologize for his behavior, but he did spend thirty minutes speaking with me. He asked me to read some information to him from my medical history (something he refused to review when I saw him in person), and he gave some insight. I found it convenient for him that he gave me the care I needed after sending him a contentious letter and publishing a public review, rather than providing the care I needed when seeing him for an appointment. So why am I deciding to publish this review now? Accountability is important. Seeing that others have had similar experiences, it is clear that Dr. Youn's aloof behavior has not gone unnoticed. I encourage him to make a significant adjustment.

Half an hour was counted after he sent me a pls pick me up text. He sent it after Dr. Youn's review, changing clothes, etc. I hope people in the clinic know waiting is not just waiting. I was thinking bad result and failed procedure (happens I hear). It's like I love my Dr, but I don't appreciate her calling me directly after running my tests. I now have a second thought after this experience and bad Yelp reviews, knowing there are other good Drs. FYI~~~ There were all kinds of refreshments in the waiting room (not for patients I assume), and I tried to indulge myself with H2O, ended up with carbonated kind. Dr. Youn performs Colonoscopy on Thursday only, not for just one patient.

Dr. Richard Nguyen was originally referred to us by a friend who is an anesthesiologist, and we are…read moreincredibly grateful for that recommendation. In the spring of 2025, my husband, Jamie, needed to have his gallbladder removed after experiencing persistent problems and inflammation. His surgery was initially scheduled for about a month later, but when his symptoms continued to worsen, we contacted Dr. Nguyen. After discussing what Jamie was experiencing, we decided it was best not to wait--and it was a good thing we didn't. Dr. Nguyen performed the surgery the very next day at Good Samaritan Hospital. Dr. Nguyen is not only an expert in his field, but he also has an exceptional bedside manner. He was attentive, reassuring, and continued to follow up after the procedure. Jamie recovered wonderfully. Fast-forward to September 2026, when Jamie developed severe abdominal pain and went to the emergency room at El Camino Hospital. Testing revealed appendicitis, and we were so relieved to discover that Dr. Nguyen was there and would once again be performing his surgery. Jamie has endured several serious health challenges over the past few years, including vestibular migraines and open-heart surgery at Stanford for an aortic aneurysm, which required part of his aorta to be replaced. Needless to say, he has been through a lot. Seeing Dr. Nguyen immediately lifted his spirits because he knew he would literally be in the best hands. Jamie is currently recovering in the hospital, where he is being monitored because of his medical history, but the surgery went extremely well, and we are confident he will have another smooth recovery. We are deeply grateful for Dr. Nguyen's expertise, compassion, attentiveness, and genuine care for his patients. He takes the time necessary to help ensure the best possible outcome and makes both the patient and their family feel comfortable and supported. Dr. Nguyen is an amazing surgeon, and we recommend him wholeheartedly. If you need a procedure within his area of expertise, do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment with him. You will not be disappointed.

After consulting with Dr. Wynn and him checking me out; he was not confident that a hernia was my problem so he ordered a CAT scan with contrast. "Because of my past procedures" After getting the results back he informed me that I did not have a hernia and that the cause most likely is from scar tissue. The CAT scan also found a couple other issues so he referred me to a specialist. Dr. Nguyen is fantastic, he takes his time with you and he listens. He is also very personable. He is a great doctor/surgeon

This guy is worthless. He treated me for a period of a year and half with no definitive resolution…read more During that time, he flipped flopped on his treatment recommendations and never was consistent. I could ask him the same question every visit, and get a different answer every time. He made a surgical recommendation for me, but consistently failed to communicate with the surgeon's office. My second issue with this physician is he uses appointment time to whine and moan about the workers compensation system. I get it, your unhappy doctor. I don't want to hear about it every single visit. I couldn't recommend this doctor to anybody I loved. There are a lot of choices for physiatrist, pass this one up.

He never checks you fully and you leave wondering what was the point of the appointment if he is just going to shine you on. This last time I went to him I let him know I was in extreme pain and needed to finally take time off of work to finally fix my back and he told me he would only take me off for a few days because he was worried that the insurance company would be upset with him if he took me out any longer. First off again he had me stand up and bend over which I couldn't and that was it for checking me. Never have I heard a Dr tell someone they couldn't treat me correctly because they were worried about the insurance company but that's exactly What he told me. Because it is a workman's comp issue I can't see anyone else unless I'm appointed a new Dr so I had no choice but to call my lawyer and helmsman Insurance to inform them that this Dr was not treating me correctly. This Ted guy called my lawyer and told him I was being loud and yelling at him and now refuses to see me which was a bold face lie! I never raised my voice I just called him on his bullshit. He left me a note for my work that said I could twist pull bend and lift over 25 pounds and that is not the case. I can barely walk and can't lift anything and had to tell him why after all these years had he lost his passion for his profession? He couldn't even look me in the eyes. He lost all my respect and he should not be caring for anyone from here on out. I will be reporting him to the insurance company and my lawyer and be filing a lawsuit against him. People if you are truly in pain look elsewhere this guy works for the insurance companies now and doesn't care about his patients. He treated me like a dog

Throughout my medical journey, Dr. Rustamzadeh became part of one of the most difficult chapters of…read moremy life. My condition involved surgeries, imaging, pain management, physical restrictions, braces, medications, rehabilitation, and ongoing evaluations. There were many moments filled with uncertainty, frustration, fear, exhaustion, and pain. At times, I questioned whether people truly understood what chronic pain can do to a person mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Today, I am 104 days post-surgery, and I can honestly say the progress I have made has been remarkable. There have been some very difficult days, but there have also been many great days filled with hope, healing, and gratitude. Recovery has not been easy -- it has been a process, a battle, and a journey. Looking back at where I was compared to where I am today, I truly believe this neurosurgeon helped save my life.
