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.

Trihn sent me home with inadequate diagnosis. Next day he told me that I am "the reason that healthcare is too expensive". Would not allow physical therapy (tens therapy), causing me to spend 30 days at care center. After sending me to home, tens therapy had me walking in 3 days. The only recommendation I could give for dr. (?) Trihn would be to avoid him.

Dr. Trinh does not listen and rushes your (5 minutes max) time with him! Today he told me he didn't care what my MRI might say he only wanted to hear about my symptoms but then he cut me off two words into every answer I tried to give him. He wouldn't listen to anything I thought was related to the issue I was referred for and instead rushed me out the door telling me the radiologist who gave the MRI report (and was the reason my PCP referred me to Trinh) had it all wrong. Don't go to him!!

Could care less about how much pain you are in. I made an appt 2 weeks in advance and stated clearly that I had a MRI report from 3 months prior done in a different state. One hour before my appt they called and said Trinh refused to see me unless I could produce a CD of the MRI I had done. No one EVER told me I needed this. I was in extreme pain and the issue I wanted to be seen for was different than the last MRI, and he could order a new one, but was told that was "impossible". AVOID HIM
