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.

It was my first time meeting Dr. Teng - he was an avid listener, and he thoroughly answered all my questions.

I was referred to Dr. Teng after my cardiologist retired from their practice. He is so quick thinking and positive. His depth of medical knowledge is immense. In other words, he is a cardiologist who understands the entire body and brain and how it all works together. Sometimes MDs just deal with their area of expertise and give no other advice or support. Not so with Dr. Teng! I have a rare skeletal disorder that requires frequent surgery. Dr. Teng just guided me through the issues that accompanied a hip replacement surgery. His cardiology work was helpful prior to my hip replacement surgery but his post surgery advice and pain management medical support was wonderful. He is so so positive and encouraging. Plus, he is incredibly intelligent. He could be a psychiatrist with his support and understanding. I’m just so happy that I was referred to Dr. Teng by my regular MD. He is the best. Trust me because I have so many issues from my disease. He gets “it” all! An A+ grade for Dr. Teng!

My primary Dr. referred me onto Dr. Teng ( Medical Director of Cardiologist) at the St. Francis Hospital, San Francisco and I have to say, I'm impressed. Dr. Teng is the best. I trust him with my life. Extremely intelligent, compassionate, and a a great listener. He's a great diagnostician, and takes a professional and practical approach to his patients' health. I wouldn't go to anyone else as long as I am breathing. 5* for him and his associates specially Alma at the front desk always smiling.
