    We were referred to Dr. Truong by our OT because of concerns about our daughter's swallow…read morecoordination. As first time parents dealing with feeding issues, we were already stressed and looking for guidance from a medical professional. Instead, we were met with a dismissive doctor with terrible bedside manner. He made us feel guilty for subjecting our daughter to a tongue tie revision and oral therapy that had been recommended by our daughter's ped and LC. After a brief examination of our daughter he said everything looked fine. We asked whether a swallow study might help assess her coordination, but were advised it was unnecessary as long as she was gaining weight and having wet diapers. We left the appointment feeling completely dismissed and unsettled. We ended up scheduling an appointment with Seattle Children's OT for a second opinion and they immediately noticed something was off and referred us for a swallow study. Our daughter was diagnosed with a severe swallow coordination disorder with silent aspiration. She was admitted to the hospital and required an NG tube to feed safely. We're grateful we trusted our instincts and continued advocating for further evaluation for our daughter. We do carry some guilt for not pushing harder at the initial visit, knowing it resulted in weeks of unsafe feeding and added stress for our family. If you're a parent and something feels off, trust that feeling and do not hesitate to seek a second opinion.

Probably worst of all were the constant sinus infections, 5-8 infections each year. I was always on antibiotics--the last infection took me through four different antibiotics and none would help. I was referred to Dr. Knapp's office a couple months ago, and he went through my CT scans, did an exam, and determined the root cause of my problems: small cavities, infected tissue that no medication would help, deviated septum, and just very small airways. He gave me lots of options, and also mentioned surgery. I have heard how awful sinus surgery is, but he told me that while he can't guarantee it to cure 100% of my ailments, that it would make my life significantly better. So, I went in a month ago and had turbinate reduction (he took an inch off from one cavity!), removal of the infected tissue and opening of my passageways, as well as a septoplasty. A month after the surgery now, I feel like my entire life has changed. I haven't coughed once! I used to stay up all night coughing, every night. The recovery has had some pretty disgusting parts, but I can't tell you how amazing it is to be able to breath. I only had dissolvable packing, which I heard is the worst part of the recovery, and no bruising at all. He's a miracle worker, and his staff is fantastic: his nurse was always available to me, (he even called me twice on the phone, which I have never heard of a doctor doing before), and his billing staff worked diligently to get my stubborn insurance to cover the cost. Another reassuring point is that I see an amazing doctor for my asthma and allergy issues, and he and Dr. Knapp told me the same things about treatment, ailments, recovery, without ever even talking to each other. I was very impressed that these doctors were on the same page. :) He's amazing!

    They're very focused on selling you surgery as the solution for sinus problems. It's extremely…read moredifficult to get anyone to call you back and they don't answer their main phone line. Getting information about the risks of surgery took weeks of calling and they acted suprised and put out that I would want to know before I decided on surgery. They wanted me to just schedule the surgery, pay the initial fee, then on the day of my surgery they would "give me the paperwork" that explained the risks? How are you supposed to make an informed decision on whether you even want surgery? The office is constantly running late and overbooked. Your appointment will never start anywhere near on time. Doctors run back and forth between patients during your appointment, leaving you sitting around alone in an exam room for no reason. Once they have your money and you're done with the surgery, they ghost you if you end up with problems from it. My surgery caused more problems than it solved. I wish I'd never done it. On top of all that, half of their front office staff is bitchy and unprofessional, like incompetent teenage mean girls.

    Oh, Dr. Song. I really don't have anything against her as a person. She came along at a really…read morebad time in my life. Actually, life was wonderful when we met, but it quickly went down hill. I went to Dr. Song for dizziness and vertigo last summer. After waiting almost 3 weeks to see her, I was a little thrown off when she spent 5 minutes with me by using a flashlight to look at my eyes. She asked me a couple of questions then told me the reason for my dizziness and vertigo was from my sodium intake. What? I was immediately pissed off and upset, and I let Dr. Song know. She didn't ask me anything about what I eat. If she had, she'd know that I rarely eat processed foods, and I actually look at labels of food almost obsessively. She kept saying, "I can't imagine what you're going through". She referred me to get an MRI, "just in case", but told me to lower my sodium. 10 minutes later, I was on my way out of an appointment I had waited 3 weeks for. I wanted an answer to why I was dizzy and had vertigo. I am otherwise healthy, so assumed my symptoms were due to an inner ear issue. I went to the MRI, but didn't expect what was about to come. They told me I would hear from Dr. Song in a week, unless they had found something. Dr. Song called me the next morning. She said, "yah, um, you have a brain tumor". WTF? And again, "I can't imagine what you're going through" with the same sincerity as before. None. I'll never forget that conversation as long as I live. Nobody wants that call, and I won't bore you with the details other than to say that I am recovering from the serious and painful ordeal of brain surgery, but Dr. Song's bedside manner was absolutely awful at the worst time in my life. I would dissuade anyone from seeing her. I had actually written a letter to the medical director of the clinic conveying my experience, but threw it away when I found out about my brain tumor. I had other things to worry about.

    I came to Dr. Zemplenyi for under-chin liposuction. If you are on the fence but insecure about your…read moreappearance, you should contact him for a consultation. I am so glad I got to have this done. I am a woman who is just shy of 30 years old and have recently lost about 45 pounds, but had a stubborn double-chin. It was something that had bothered me since I was 10 years old, whether I was overweight or not. The first doctor I contacted (not Dr. Zemplenyi) said I should get submentalplasty -- that was a little too much of a production for me. Dr. Zemplenyi kept it simple and conservative and said I should do lipo first, but that I might have to come back if he didn't take enough off. I appreciated that Dr. Zemplenyi didn't push me to go for a bigger (and more expensive) procedure, but still informed me about the options. He also was the only one to tell me about potential risks - which luckily didn't happen to me - while the other doctor didn't say anything about that. So I also appreciated that he was honest. Dr. Zemplenyi is a quirky guy and he knows it, but I appreciated that he looked at my chin as if he were an artist. Every person's face is different and I felt like he was really trying to get the best result possible for MY face. PROCEDURE Ok so like I said, I had under-chin lipo. I chose to do it under what I think was mild sedation. I had painkillers but I was still awake. I remember him doing the procedure, but I felt calm. I didn't feel pain. I felt pressure and movement. Recovery was more involved than I thought it would be. It hurt. There was a fair amount of swelling but not a lot of bruising. I got this done on a Thursday, and took Friday and Monday off of work. I worked from home until the following Thursday. Be prepared to take it easy. I should also note that I don't respond well to opioids so I stuck with Tylenol and it was enough for me to keep it manageable. RESULTS I am SO HAPPY with my results. The sheer brain space I have freed up now that I no longer worry about my double-chin? Amazing. If you are on the fence, contact him for a consultation. It was less expensive than I was expecting and about half the price of the submentalplasty the other doctor suggested. I am 8 weeks out and have just a little bit of swelling left and a little bit of tenderness left. I wish I had done this years ago! I am glad I had Dr. Zemplenyi do this for me.

    Very bad, dangerous, staff and everything is very poor. Post…read moreop. Recovery was so bad no one knew what to do. Medicare is backed this facility. Many doctors are using this cheap place to do their surgery here instead of hospitals or their own facilities. Always start with questions to surgeon " where exactly will the surgery take place!"
