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.

Rude self absorbed Diva
Hurried, rushed, rude, all about her, inconsiderate, distracted, absolutely no concern for her patients.

Unprofessional. Unorganized. Cannot keep appointments or refill prescriptions in a timely manner. Does not return phone calls. Office is rude and unhelpful.

My first experience with Dr. Dao was exceptional. She was able to see me right on time and treated me right then even though this was a consult. I liked being able to move quickly like that.

After telling the nurse my symptoms thoroughly and why I came in the be seen, Dr. Dao asked me to repeat my story (which I didn't mind), but was VERY quick to judge. I felt like she didn't really listen to me. While I talked, she interrupted me several times and diagnosed based on only hearing some of my symptoms. I had to ask to finish my story. Then, she even admitted that she misdiagnosed. I was already in a vulnerable state and she did not make me feel any better telling me wrong things.

Dr. Dao was extremely sweet and made me very comfortable to ask questions on things i didn't understand. She explains in her medical terms, and then simplifies it for me. She was very thoughtful and considerate of my standing and i completely trust her judgement. Being in her care, i know i am in good hands. thank you Dr. Dao, i appreciate your services!
