Patient review summary
4.20
Dr. Tieu's reviews reflect a mix of positive and negative patient experiences. Many patients appreciate her thoroughness, medical knowledge, and attentiveness during appointments. They highlight her ability to explain treatment options clearly, provide comprehensive care, and make patients feel reassured without rushing them. Some even travel farther to see her due to her expertise and dedication. However, there are contrasting accounts where patients felt dismissed, particularly regarding chronic skin conditions. These patients described her approach as cold or unhelpful, with one patient feeling ignored regarding follow-up communication after a biopsy. Overall, while Dr. Tieu is valued for her competence and thoroughness, some patients have experienced frustrations with communication and perceived lack of empathy in specific cases.
