Teng Shine-Nee, MD

Dr. Teng goes through your paperwork and general health information very quickly, then gets down to whatever is bothering you. She is not quick to push the hard drugs. I went in because of an indigestion issue, and instead of putting me on Prilosec right away she told me to use less serious meds, like pepsin. Yes, she is talkative, but I enjoy her conversations, because generally going to the doctor’s office isn’t the best experience.

I’ve been going to Dr. Teng for several years. Nothing but good experiences. She goes the extra mile when needed, and I have always found her office to be helpful and available.

My wife has been seeing Dr. Teng for a little over a year now. As others have said, she is very friendly and VERY talkative, (albeit sometimes hard to understand with her accent when she talks too fast, heh) She’s a good, competent general doctor with flexible hours, and I’d definitely recommend her.

I’ve been going to Shine-​Née Teng for over 6 years now. I’ve found her to be the most competent, accessible and comprehensive doctor I’ve ever gone to. I was in the market for a new general practitioner. I happen to meet an ER Nurse and she recommended Dr. Teng (if an ER Nurse thought she was great, she must be). I have recommended many patients to her with all agreeing she’s fantastic.
Does she talk a lot? Yes, but I’d rather someone talk to me with thorough explanations than talk at me.
Have you ever had a doctor call you to provide you with test results? I had never gotten a call directly from any doctor in the past. Have you ever had a doctor call you directly to follow-​up with your prognosis? Never until Dr. Teng.
I’m a fan with no complaints!

I have been going to Dr. Teng for several years now and I have found her very competent and caring. She’s also flexible and has always found time for me in urgent situations. In general, she’s conservative in her medical approach and diagnoses, which I definitely like. And, I find she listens well and asks the right questions. A final bonus: she lets me bring my 3 year old twins to appointments and engages nicely with them as well!

She is a very friendly doctor. That’s good.
But maybe too much. Talks too much too,
I went to see her because I have been extremely stressed out and I needed some remedies.
She treated me just like one of millions.
She does not listen to you, guys.
She keeps talking and talking about HOW WRONG THE WAY I AM before she asks me about my situation or what’s been causing my stress or what I’ve been dealing with.
Zero sympathy.
She called me back a few days later to check me up how I am doing.
Maybe this is nice of her.
But I didn’t buy it.
I canceled my follow up appointment.
I have nothing to talk about with her.
She made me feel miserable at the very first appointment.
That’s enough.
