On the appointment date, The front desk was welcoming and kind, and the entire staff made me feel comfortable right away. Dr. Tian was incredibly professional, thorough, and attentive taking the time to explain everything and truly listen.

I recently had a not-so-pleasant experience with my former neurologist, but my visit to my new neurologist’s office was completely different—in the best way. From the moment I arrived, the front desk staff was professional, polite, and welcoming. I didn’t have to wait long before being seen, and when I was brought into the exam room, they already had my records pulled up and ready.

The doctor was very thorough in reviewing the reasons for my visit. Although I received a diagnosis that I wasn’t particularly happy about—but had been expecting—the way it was explained made all the difference. The doctor took the time to deliver it thoughtfully, with great detail and care. My wife and daughter were present as well, and they too were very impressed with his professionalism and compassion.

I definitely will recommend this office.
