I had gastric bypass 20 years ago and unfortunately ulcers required a revision. Dr. Abdo was amazing. He explained everything. He was caring and kind. He even called me on a holiday weekend to check on me once he released me from the hospital. If you are looking for a kind caring compassionate...

Review for Dr. Abdo

Zero stars. Completely dismissive regarding a ruptured ear drum & mastitis, did not listen to concerns about experiencing nausea-inducing high levels of pain, vertigo, inability to drive, absolutely zero ability to hear out of that ear and worries about permanent hearing loss. He verbally confirmed...

Review for Dr. Buchalter

A digestive procedure is typically an uncomfortable subject. The entire team at Woodholme is fantastic. Everyone from the front office through my recovery was friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. My procedure was completed like clockwork without rushing. The team was compassionate while keeping...

Review for Dr. Tsao

Dr. Tsao was very pleasant from the moment I met him at my consultation. He was easy to talk to regarding an uncomfortable situation. I felt I was in good hands from beginning to end.

T. Liu Apr 05 2025

Review for Dr. Tsao

This person did more harm than good to me. He overestimates his abilities and claims expertise he does not have. He made me feel worse about myself than any other doctor I’ve seen. He did not help my pain matters at all and was not honest. Don’t go to this doctor.
