“Dr. Vuong came in and was very welcoming to me as a new patient. He listened to what I had to say and was never pushy towards what to do. Was very receptive to having me tell him what I would be comfortable doing to better my health instead of telling me what I had to do. Was a very good visit and will be seeing him again.”

The service is good.
Verified patient
The doctor seemed impatient and was talking very fast. Barely able to understand what he was saying. Everything was very rushed which gave me anxiety. Hopefully next time he will spend more time on my visit. Optum should stop pressuring doctors to take so many patients and focus more on quality not quantity. That’s a bad policy.

Was very receptive to having me tell him what I would be comfortable doing to better my health instead of telling me what I had to do. Was a very good visit and will be seeing him again.
Dr. Vuong is an excellent doctor. From the minute he walked in the room, he had a very pleasant demeanor. Very thorough and knowledgeable. I was recommended by an acquaintance and I’m so grateful that I made the appointment. I’m usually very picky with the doctors I choose. You just know when your gut instinct tells you so!
Verified patient
Seemed like he didn’t listen to a word that was said. He had a defined plan before he entered the room. Abruptly stood up and left the room, It was unclear that appt was done.
Was very satisfied with my experience from booking the appt, checking in online and when I got to the office. Was seen right away; no issues. Would recommend.
