Dr. Pham explained everything in detail, taking the time to ensure I understood my diagnosis and the plan for care in the future. He was extremely attentive to my level of comprehension, asking questions about my current knowledge and adding to it where needed, it was not some spiel learned by rote. It felt great not to feel rushed or to feel the provider was rushed. Frankly, I can't remember a better visit than my first appointment with Dr. Pham.

Dr. Pham is a highly intelligent and skilled MD. He genuinely cared about my medical issues and allowed me the time to explain them in my own words. He was patient with me which immediately put me at ease. His explanations were clear and in terms I understood. It was also obvious that he read my file (which has a long medical history) which further confirmed for me, that he really cared, and wasn't going to just pass me along to someone else to deal with symptoms. I'm looking for solutions. I'm tired of constantly being in pain, and I feel Dr. Pham wants to help find a solution to my problem(s)

Didnt see that person in person
He was kind and took a lot of negative feedback at first then accepted my apology after his excellent care
He is the best
I do not have any prior engagement with Dr Pham but if initial perceptions are a key indicator of his typical care, this was a complete failure. 15 minutes that could have been done over the phone or on a computer. Never once did he do any type of physical exam and our only contact was a handshake. 800 miles round trip for 15 minutes of wasted time¿¿if there was any benefit in my physical presence sitting in an exam room I would love to hear what was the medical benefit.
Dr. Pham and staff are always friendly and professional. They take the time to get to know you and are very efficient in their tasks. I never feel rushed in my appointments.
all good
This fiber scan of the liver was performed with amazing care and efficiency. Yes, the technology is superior, but the handling of the process could not have been better.
too bad he didn't have the records yet to review from the previous doctor. visit would have been more effective.
He is very patient and caring. Listens and asks good question. Very open to a healthy dialog.
Very detail oriented and shows a lot of care.
