Dr. Ngo is extremely knowledgeable and explains everything in such great detail. I felt like I was receiving the best science lesson of my life on my gut. She listens, is extremely patient, answers all questions in a way I can comprehend. She also gave me great advice and examples for treating my issues. We spoke for so long and she was never in a hurry. Quite a rarity these days for busy doctor’s. I would definitely recommend Dr. Ngo. She also did my colonoscopy.
