We absolutely love Dr. Singh. He is such a caring, compassionate physician. My husband has been a…read morepatient for years and has received excellent care from Dr. Singh. He has had several back surgeries, inserting rods and screws, with excellent results. Our office experience, however, is another story. It just takes so long for them to schedule tests, then to get results from tests, then follow-up procedure scheduling. We have called the office, left messages with no response. Meanwhile, my husband is in pain, can't do anything and we wait, and we wait and we wait and nothing from them; nothing but promises that someone will call us tomorrow or the next day or the next and that doesn't happen. So, add frustration to the pain and anger begins to build. All the staff is very nice and friendly, but there's a breakdown somewhere and something has to be done.

Dr. Alex Hoang is Vietnamese-American and fits the bill! I was refered to him because I went to high school with his partner's wife. The office opens early in the morning, they always fit me in whenever I get sick (which considering I now carry an Epi pen is quite often apparently! Jk) and they get back to me ASAP! The staff treats me with dignity and respect and are friendly! My yearly exam includes a heart ultrasound, EKG, breathing test. Etc. and they can do all of this in-house! They have laptops so that your records are now electronically stored. The prescriptions get printed out which is awesome! There are also two parking lots which is convenient. Plus the waiting room is comfy with leather couches, regular chairs, flat screen tvs, magazines , kid toys etc. I would recommend them to all my friends and family! Addendum: as I'm waiting as a walk in patient (my normal doc has the day off so going to see one of the other two docs) I noticed that the bus stop is right in front of the office which might help people who use the bus out here! I also forgot that there is a mini parking lot out front too. In the examining room area on the right hand side there is a larger bathroom with baby changer. I'll post pix later. On the left hand is the smaller bathroom with no baby changer.
