Verified patient
I highly recommend Dr. Tseng if you are looking for a gastroenterologist. Dr. Tseng is not only thorough in his history taking, he makes you feel comfortable and heard. He thoroughly walked me through all preparation instructions prior to my procedure, and made sure I understood what to expect. I was impressed with how fast he reached out to my other doctors to discuss my medical history. He was also very helpful in referring me to other doctors when I needed further medical workup.
Verified patient
He has a terrific way with patients. Takes his time, does not rush and if anything wants more details. Very pleasant experience
Verified patient
Doctor Tseng is literally the best doctor I have ever seen, for any practice. I have seen many doctors for his practice and in other fields and have never had such an excellent experience. He's thorough, actually follows up, and is thoughtful. I could not suggest a better doctor.

I HAVE BEEN A PATIENT OF DR. TSENG FOR 16 YEARS AND I AM VERY COMFORTABLE WITH HIM. ALWAYS THERE WHEN I NEED HIM. IF I LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR HIM TO CALL ME HE CALLS ME BACK THE SAME DAY. THE LADIES ON THE FRONT ARE VERY POLITE AND FRIENDLY.
Verified patient
Dr. Tseng is a great doctor. He saw me right away, asked a lot of questions about my problem and took very detailed notes. When I had questions regarding my upcoming procedure, I was able to call in and speak with Dr. Tseng directly. I also e-mailed his office some insurance questions and they got back to me right away. I'm so happy I went to this office!

He is an awesome doctor! He went over every detail of my medical history and gave the worthwhile advice! Felt very comfortable talking with him about my concerns and condition. Highly recommend him!
Verified patient
He's great ????
Verified patient
Super super professional. Made me feel EXTREMELY comfortable. He was so thorough and attentive, asked many questions, explained what he was thinking. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. The office space needs work and maybe the reception staff needs some more training but you're going to see him after all - not reception. Definitely good option! Will go back to him time and time again!
Verified patient
Friendly, knowledgeable, and timely. Had no wait time, asked thorough questions about medical history, current symptoms, and any overall concerns. For the first time, didn't feel rushed in a doctor's office, which can be frustrating, especially if you had to wait 20+ minutes to be seen.
Talking about what comes out of you in the bathroom can be weird, but the doctor's bedside manner was tops. Very friendly, relaxed, easy. A+, will stick with this choice. (The office might need a little decor love, but don't let that throw you off ;)
Verified patient
Dr. Tseng is an excellent doctor. He is thorough, patient and very intelligent. His bedside manner is wonderful and he never makes you feel rushed or unimportant. The procedures are done in his office which is more intimate than a hospital setting. He gets back to you when you have questions and all of your questions are important! He explains everything about your condition and the procedures he is doing. I live far and my commute isn't easy but I would not trust any other gastroenterologist besides Dr. Tseng.
Verified patient
He is a very patient, caring, and professional doctor. He listened to my concerns and comfort me with scientific evidence (test results). He gave me very clear instructions before having the colonoscopy. I felt nothing during and after the colonoscopy. Highly recommend Dr. Tseng!
Verified patient
Dr. Tseng is thought, knowledgeable and has a great bedside manner. He explained clearly, offered several options for testing, and followed up with my other doctors to make sure he had the right information. I highly recommend him.
Verified patient
Great Dr. -- Very nice, attentive, & thorough
Verified patient
Dr. Tseng is the best doctor of any kind I have ever visited, and I've seen him several times over the last decade. He takes the time to listen to your concerns, pays very close attention, pleasantly asks all the right questions to make sure you aren't leaving things out. And he's just a nice guy, too, funny and friendly. It's not always easy to discuss difficult medical things, but he makes it easy. I often leave a doctor visit thinking "that's it?", as if something was missing or overlooked, but with Dr. Tseng I have always felt like I am getting the most personal and thus most correct care possible.
Wonderful, kind, cares.
Verified patient
Dr Tseng was extremely thorough in taking my history and understanding my symptoms. He asked a lot of questions and documented everything. His bedside manner was delightful and kind. He made sure I understood what he was saying, the likely possibilities, medications and treatments. I'd definitely recommend him.

He paid close attention when I was speaking, didn't interrupt me or anything, and actually gave me useful suggestions. Excellent experience! Highly recommand!!
Verified patient
I say no to ever going to this doctor starting with walking into the office. The office is dirty, disorganized and flat out unacceptable. I felt like I was walking into an underground clinic. As for the doctor, he wasn't thorough at all and I left lacking any confidence. To be specific, I had filled out a survey with symptoms that wasn't even looked at. The consult was spent going over the same questions and he completely left out some very important information until I brought it up. Additionally, I went for reflux and he failed to mention anything really about foods or diet. Being that I've gone to a gastro before for this I know that diet is a huge factor. Overall I just say nice guy but not someone I want as my doctor.
Dr.Tseng is a great doctor! He is very professional and gentle, i am so glad that i found him at ZocDoc.com! He gathered all the information he needed by patiently listening to everything I explained. Then, he answered all my questions. I highly recommend Dr.Tseng in case you need a Gastroenterologist!
Verified patient
Front staff is friendly, very efficient and helpful. Dr. Tseng reviewed my history and the plan. He is thorough, answers your questions, deferred invasive testing before getting bloodwork, and explained a lot. Dr. is very friendly, smart and helpful. I would visit them again.
Verified patient
I saw Dr. Tseng at his clinic and he was one of the best physician I have ever seen. He was very attentive and considerate, listened to my concerns. I did not feel rushed at all, and the visit was overall very pleasant. I'll definitely keep him as my GI doctor, highly recommend!
