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.

Did not do a good job on my knee
Almost 2 years since I had knee surgery and my knee is still messed up. When I saw Dr. Le for follow-ups, I told him my knee was very swollen and I could not bend it all the way. He said that was “normal”?! My knee feels like it did pre-surgery. He does not spend time or answer questions and is very rushed. Never again.

Dr Le is highly professional. He is thorough, he provided clear explanations regarding my condition, and answered all concerns I had. His staff is equally friendly and proficient. Melinda called me at home prior to my surgery to review the process I would be undergoing, and called again the day after the surgery to check on my condition. I highly recommend Dr. Le. He visited with me and my wife immediately before the surgery while I was preparing, to go over the expectations. He met with my wife immediately afterwards to inform her that I was out of surgery and to give her further instructions . I’m highly satisfied and felt very secure throughout this process.

While Dr. Le is an excellent surgeon, his office management leaves much to be desired. My family members have been to his office for appointments on 5 occasions. We have never had to wait less than an hour for our scheduled appointment. My elderly mother waited an hour and a half for 5 minutes with the doctor. He needs to stop over booking himself and honor appointment times.

Dr. Bruce Le did my shoulder surgery. It was less painful than I thought it would be. He did such a wonderful job on it. I am so happy I went to him. I heard he was the best and he definitely is the best. I would recommend Dr. Bruce Le to anyone.

Dr Le is knowledgeable, meticulous, great at figuring out the diagnoses. He performed surgery on me for a torn gluteus medius tendon, among other repairs. Great result. I would highly recommend him!

Dr. Le is a superficial person who assumes that if you are on the heavier side you must be lazy. Anyone who knows me, knows I'm far from lazy. If a patient is pleading with you to help and to listen, you would think that some care would take place. Not the case, instead he demeans you. For instance, suddenly commenting that there is a smell in the room, and when the patient, their spouse, and the resident say they smell nothing, he says, "It smells like a fat kid on a school bus in here."
