First impressions are important- starting your day running a half hour behind on the first/second appointment with no explanation or apology is really unacceptable.

He is very exceptional at what he does he is very particular and a man of many words. I appreciate the surgery he had done on my son because the outcome was amazing for the first time and my son's life he was able to look me in the eyes ❤️

We found this doctor to lack any sense of common courtesy when we came for our first visit. We waited for 90 minutes and never received an apology for the wait. He was abrupt, dismissive and seemed bothered by our questions. We won’t be returning.

Dr. Tien is amazing. The wait in the office is less desirable especially when you take your child out of school early and then you don’t even get seen until after school hours.

He is great, with my kids. My son is autistic and had to have surgery he was so good at explaining everything so he could understand. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
