Dr Tian is excellent. My nerve block was done quickly and painlessly. He is very pleasant and kind. If you have back pain he is the one to go to!

Though my appointment was scheduled with Dr. Tian, I didn’t see him. The NP came in to get information prior to the doctor coming in, but once we were done she said I was all set. Dr. Tian never came in the room.

Waited 7 weeks for an appointment, and never saw him. I saw his assistant, she seamed knowledgeable. After being checked in I was told that the doctor would be in in just a few minutes. I was never told why the Dr. did not come in.
And Doctors wonder why patience feel ignored, and not taking seriously.
