Dr. Lee had a very cool attitude towards me after he looked at my passed records. He knew I wasn't one of his regular patients, even though my other gastro Dr. said he was the one that did my gallbladder surgery. Had no record of it!! He couldn't help me at all. He just recommended a pain management group who I have already seen, and would NOT see again. This pain group asked me to order a special pill that I've never heard of and that was out of state, pretty expensive AND not covered by insurance. Not sounding to normal to me at all. Dr. Lee really didn't seem interested in helping me at all. The visit was a waste of time and very disappointing.

This doctor is also known as Yen Chung (Andrew) lee…read more My husband accompanied me to see this doctor/surgeon. We both initially felt Dr. Lee was a bit arrogant. My husband mentioned a painful bodily issue I had experienced and Dr. Lee completely cut him off. He was somewhat dismissive regarding my pain issues following surgery done by Dat Tien Nguyen. He commented that I should simply be happy that the two breast lumps were not cancerous and basically to get over it; meaning the injuries and pain. I told him I was grateful the lumps were not cancerous, yet my pain was unbearable and I had blood oozing from my nipple. After he saw the blood coming out of my nipple he seemed to understand my pain and issues were legit. He did order blood work and an ultrasound, which was good. He reaffirmed what other pain specialists had told me; the nerve damage suffered during Nguyen's surgery would be with me for life. The nerve pain was and IS in my breast and runs down into my ribs. I told Dr. Lee I had seen Dr. Peter Wong at Tri Valley Physicians about a week prior to my visit with him. I told him Dr. Wong prescribed an antibiotic for an infection, which I soon learned I did not have. Dr. Lee also reaffirmed that patients should not be treated with antibiotics if they do not have an infection; as was my case. Keep that in mind folks; be certain you actually DO have an infection before being treated for an infection. I had the ultrasound performed, yet wasn't called with the results as promised. I called his office and an employee, Frida took my message regarding the test results. Frida (hope I am spelling her name correctly) was a gem. She is a nice lady, compassionate and very professional. She gave Dr. Lee my message, yet he still failed to call with the test results. I called again the following day, as I'd been waiting on pins and needles for the test results. Frida said my test results were setting on his desk and had been for a couple days. I could tell she was frustrated too that he had not yet called me. Finally, Dr. Lee did call with the test results, yet he did not speak to me. Instead he left very detailed, private medical testing information on my answering machine. I was livid when I retrieved the message. I called him and expressed being angered by him leaving the detailed testing results on my answering machine for my children to hear and he did not care. ...HIPAA violation. You guessed it, another doctor added to the "Do Not Recommend" list. Sadly, that list has become very long.

Words can't express my happiness in dealings with Dr. Nguyen…read more I saw him earlier this year for gastric bypass surgery and I must say that not only do I find him to be a surgeon at the very top of his skill but a very patient man as well. I tend to ask a-lot of questions, how does this work, what happens next, and so on and so on. Dr Nguyen not only answered ALL of my questions but made the time to explain until I felt I could understand and fully comprehend what he was saying. How many Drs. do you know who will do that these days? His staff is impeccable, kind, organized and even remembered my name each time they saw me. Most importantly let's get to the surgery date, I was nervous but fully informed, the staff was excellent and I came in contact with nurses that had been right where I was, they had had the surgery themselves and felt as highly about Dr. Nguyen as I did and walked me through the whole process with great care and knowledge (Valley Care you amaze me!!) Before the procedure Dr. Nguyen came to check on me and see if I had any more questions (of course I did) and how I was doing. But here is the kicker for me, afterwards in recovery I woke up and there he was sitting down waiting to see how I felt and YES, if I had any more questions (which I did). This kind of treatment is the epitome of a classy doctor and I have heard he's like that with all of his patients. I researched Dr. Nguyen before this procedure and was very impressed by all of the other surgeons that respect him as well as the fact that he is a pioneer in his field and has preformed I think thousands of these surgeries, so I knew he was great at what he did. I just want to let everyone else know that he's a great person as well as a great Doctor and Surgeon.

The staff there are very nice and makes you feel comfortable which is exactly what you want to feel when you've never had any type of surgical procedure done before. My surgeon was Dr. Wang, he appears to be very confident in his work and after my procedure, rightfully so! Took 30 minutes to remove 3 wisdom teeth, they were clear about what I needed to do after the surgery, they had a back door exit to avoid embarrassment after awaking from anesthesia which I appreciated, and Dr. Wang himself even called to check up on how I was doing a few hours after surgery. I feared that the wisdom teeth removal would be painful and that my cheeks would swell up after surgery like the stories that I heard from other people, but I was up and running around an hour after surgery, my cheeks didn't look like they were packed full of nuts, nor was I in pain. I didn't even need the pain killers that they prescribed me. Should I ever need to have any teeth removed again, I'm coming back to Dr. Wang at Northern California Facial & Oral Surgery! 5 stars!

When she sat down with my husband and me to go over the recommended treatment, she jotted down the key points on a piece of paper. Looking back I realize how important that was. I never would have been able to recall the treatment plan (much less spell all those medical terms) without her assistance. Her presentation was calm and confident. It was her confidence and soft spoken demeanor that put me at ease. At the end of our first meeting, she shared a meditation app that she uses. I decided to download and use the app and I'm so glad that I did. On top of helping me find much needed calm during my treatment, a happy coincidence was that she used the app to play music during surgery. Hearing the familiar music made me smile and gave me an extra boost of calm going into surgery. Dr. Le-Tran is an excellent surgeon. My trust in her was well-placed. I look at my breast today in awe and wonder--that diseased tissue was removed so cleanly and what a relief to know the boundaries were clear. I was impressed with Dr. Le-Tran's work on my breast but I was asleep when it happened. I was awake when she removed my port and--wow!--what a relief. I didn't feel anything after the numbing medication. In fact, I didn't even know it was out until she asked if I wanted to see it. She distracted me with friendly chatter about Thanksgiving. For the care she provided I will forever be grateful!
