I absolutely appreciate my doctor, Dr. Truong, and actually look forward to seeing her. She is a great communicator, she connects. I feel heard and respected by her. I trust her knowledge and guidance. She is one of the best doctors I have ever seen, and I've been to a lot of doctors. She does more than treat me, she cares for me and that's amazing. I have recommended her to others and will continue to do so. I can't speak more highly of Dr. Truong.
