My daughter had a reaction to the anistishia which caused a panic attack and her to start having a seizure!! Doctor Tian and his office noticed this was happening handle the emergency stabilized her and got her to the ER immediately. Doctor Tian was extremely compassionate when explaining what was going on to me his nurses were totally empathetic and offered to drive me to the emergency room. The following day he called me to check in on my daughter and was very kind and concerned !!! Thank you to his office for being professional and acting quickly to help my daughter !

Did not read anything in my chart to know any of the things that I have already tried. Spent the entire appointment telling me to try things that I have already done for the pain that I have and then sent me to see a doctor that I am already seeing somewhere else after telling me that he does not agree with their treatment plan that they're currently already doing. If that doesn't make sense to you it doesn't make sense to me either.

This is the first time that I've gone there. I felt a bit uncomfortable. He didn't seem to be as interested as the other people I've dealt with. I had some questions about my spine and he was in. He felt my spine and he was gone. Maybe he was having a bad day? But this is the very first time in my dealings with university orthopedics that I felt I wasn't really important.
