Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Interested in treat you as a patient.
Dr. Tieu is a smart medical doctor with a broad range of experience. She has been working with me for several years trying to get my atopic eczema under control. She corresponds with other doctors of mine (Immunologist, ENT specialist, Primary Care Physician) trying get a better handle on how I react to medications and treatments. She has experimented, trying newer medications on me (thinking outside of the box), to see how I react (or don’t react to them). She listens to you, to better understand the problems you are experiencing. She will correspond with you via phone calls, to see how you are reacting to medications she may have put you on. You still have in-office appointments for her to see how your skin is adjusting to treatments. It is good for you to keep a log of how you are reacting to medications, to have detailed information for her.I highly recommend that you make appointments to allow Dr. Tieu to be able to help you.

Unresponsive staff
On June 29 Dr. Tieu removed a mole in my scalp. I felt she was very competent, friendly and explanatory. Over the past 10 days, however, I have called and left messages a total of six (6!) times with a receptionist or the answering machine requesting the results of the biopsy. One receptionist assured me that would inform Dr. Tieu and that she would definitely be calling me later that afternoon or certainly by the next morning. I still do not know the results! As you can surmise, this if very upsetting and disappoint that the staff is so unresponsive and incompetent.

Always easy to get an appointment even though she’s very busy. She provided me with proper diagnosis and treatment. She takes her time to explain thoroughly in terms you can understand. Her staff is very efficient and caring and always gives you great customers service.

Hard to rate cause she fixed one of two major problems. The other is still a problem and when they called to follow up I said it’s still a problem and didn’t get a response. I’m debating going back to ask her why it’s still a huge problem or going to another. She’s very nice.

I first met Dr Tieu while she served in the military. I had gone in for a check up with another doctor and later received a call for a followup with Dr Tieu for treatment of my Roseasa. She did a marvelous job in repairing the damage caused by years of the Roseasa. When she left the service an entered private practice I have followed her and still get my checkups with her instead of going to the military hospital. I highly recommend Dr. Tiue to anyone needing services for a skin condition.
