  Very rude and arrogant ..................................., May 25, 2012

I grew up in the communistic country when health care was free for everyone at that time and I was never treated so poorly by doctors over there like I was by Dr.Teng who get paid thousands of dollars in one day. He was VERY RUDE to me, he had no sense of respect and compassion. I arrived to do my procedure with him for epidural shots for my back and I had to let him know that I started to develop changes in my back which is causing me pain on other site lower back too. He started to tell me that he is not going to cure my back pain and deal with that but only with the pinch nerve I had previously. And then he told me he doesn’t think this treatment will do anything for me. Honestly it’s not even what he said but HOW he said. He has a bad manners. I have tried to be patient with him in the past but this time I just could not hold myself from tears. . He had a very short temper with me. He made me feel like I was less then human being. If nurses would not be there for me who were my angels at that time and a friend who waited to give me a ride I would get even far emotional. First Dr.Teng hurt my feeling, never apologies and then he refused to treat me. In one day I heard from several people that Dr.Teng had problems with other people in the past with his skills to be arrogant and rude. Beside that every time I visit him for an appointment he always late, I had to wait for him not less then 1 hours so he can see me 15 or 20 min. There is two type of doctors. Doctors who became doctor because they want to help people and other doctors who just want to make big $ and they don’t care about people. Sound to me like Dr.Teng is one of those doctors who only interested in money and hate his job which is people. Why would I even want to offer my body to someone who carry such poor and negative energy around himself ?
  excellent doctor for all ages options, reasonable ..., Feb 21, 2012

my 14 yr old daughter ripped her ACL off and he empathized with her and always had her best interest at heart. because her growth plates werent closed yet, he waited to do surgery to replace this absent ligament. also giving her the option to strength train to allow a possibility of no surgery at all. I am very pleased with him as a doctor and a person.he is very reasonable prices for the time he takes with every patient answering all the questions you have and explaining
  Staff does not call to alert patients of problems. ..., Jan 19, 2012

After 5 years as a patient, I made one late payment. The payment was in excess of $100.00 despite my usual $40.00 co-pay. Maybe Dr Leon's staff didn't submit to Aetna. I paid anyway. Months later, they refused to renew a refill and told me that I needed to pay cash for appointments now. They never contacted me about this. Rather, they let me run out of medication and then refused to refill. I had to miss classes that day and find a new GI. My GP was nice enough to authorize enough medication over the phone (on good faith that my labs had been good lately, which they were) until the visit with my new GI. That was lucky, many GPs won't do that, and I am currently stuck with ASU's GPs. Dr Leon's actions were negligent and unethical. I am looking into what legalities this may violate, and will press charges. To this date, Dr Leon had shown himself to be a fine physician, but this incident is unforgivable. His staff had always been a little dodgy. One of his staff tole me she would talk to Dr Leon to see if he would use a little discretion in this instance. I doubt that she did.
  She Saved My Life and Listens to What I Have to Say..., Jan 14, 2012

Dr. Gamble has been my primary care physician for 2 years now. After countless doctors office's where the wait time was unbearable and the care limiting and impersonal I have finally found a doctor who listens. Dr. Gamble spent time listening to me, not just about my medical concerns, but to all the pieces that make up the puzzle to a healthy mind, body and soul. I finally felt a long awaited validation! Dr. Gamble saved my life. She discovered a disease that had gone unnoticed in me and brought me back to life through her concierge vision of medicine. I now feel healthier then ever. Having Dr. Gamble as my physician has changed the way I see my future, it is never to late to be healthy and learn about what makes your body work best. I will forever be grateful to have a Doctor who cares as much as she does.
  Thank you newLIFE for the care we have received in your Mobile, AL office!..., Dec 2, 2011

Dr. Ripps has been treating my husband and I for almost a year now and we wouldnt dream of seeing anyone else. The staff at newLIFE is so caring and supportive from start to finish. We have found him to be extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. We feel like with the help of Dr. Ripps and his staff we will achieve our dream of having a family. He is board certified and his rates are very fair in comparison to the national average. We could not be happier with the care we have received. If your looking for a great doctor, we recommend him 100%!
