Khiem Dao, MD's Online Review Report Card

Talks to me for 2 minute and rushes me out the room. Tries to quote me for surgery and throws a curve ball for how my surgery is going to proceed. Inconvenient people skill, its like having an argument with your own partner. He is reviling, disinformative and deceitful; He is all about the money and is an apathetic person that doesn't care about his clients.I hope this doctor isn't abusing any prescription pills because he has an substantial amount of pimples and acne asif about to burst/pop

Had 2 surgeries done for hardware in my ankle. Surgeries went well but he doesn't care about what happens to you after especially if you have simple Medi-cal. He puts people with private insurance as priorities because it makes him more money. This guy literally told me I didn't need physical therapy because my bones will heal up on its own since I'm young. Worst part was that I believed him. I was 21. I'm 23 now with pains and will most likely need reconstructive surgery. All because he didn't care to fill out some paperwork to recommend me to physical therapy. Thank you Dr. Dao for not caring about a patient.

His focus is not about taking care of your issue, but instead on how much he can bill and ignore any feelings towards your surgery. Go to another doctor

This doctor apparently is out of business! Office is closed.  Continued calls to office go to a voice recording only. I don't think you  can get an appointment anymore.  The gates are locked up!

This doctor and I use that term loosely does not put in the effort to do the job.  He did a peer review of my case and stated, "6mos of conservative therapy".  Which clearly shows he did not even review my file as it is 9 years long and shows I have had 9 years of conservative therapy.  His horrible peer review denied a surgery that would relieve significant pain in my wrist.  Luckily, others doctors have read my file and will approve my surgery.  If he does not have the time to read a file for a peer review what is he doing on anyone's file???  I met with two other doctors who used the term disgrace when describing what he did.

He did a peer review on my wrist and denied my surgery stating, 6 mos. of conservative therapy. If he would have read my file or even opened it, he would have seen I have had 9 years of conservative therapy. What a joke!

This doctor takes side jobs reviewing workers comp cases. He made the wrong diagnosis on my case which was overturned by both the insurance and my company based on the legal ruling of my case with the state of California. Orthopeds who take side jobs reviewing workers comp are not truly skilled at what they do and do not have enough practice in the OR. I'd avoid these types like khiem dao since he is a paper pusher. Would you want someone that has a desk job to perform your surgery?

He performed surgery on my hand and did a great job. He was always very to the point when I spoke to him, which might seem rude to some people, but I didn't mind.

My mom first left a review here from my account, but now I would like to leave one. I'm very grateful for Dr. Dao. He's been operating on my mom for two years now because he's the only doctor we've came across who hasn't given up on my mom and has given her hope. In 2010 my mom got a rare tumor on her left wrist and she got it removed by a different doctor. However, the tumor came back a few years after and it continued to come back a little after every surgery. About 3 years ago, the doctor who was doing all of her surgeries gave up. Her tumor was very small but he no longer wanted to do anything but amputate her arm and my mom didn't want that. We started looking for new doctors, but every single doctor we saw only wanted to amputate her arm or didn't want to help her at all. But as we looked and looked for new doctors her tumor got bigger and bigger. Finally, we found Dr. Dao. We were a bit scared of getting rejected once again especially after reading quite a few reviews that weren't good. When we first met him her tumor was huge at this point it was bigger than a golf ball, he didn't say much and he was out of the room in less than 5 minutes without telling us if he was going to help my mom. To be frankly honest we didn't get the best first impression of him for that reason. However, I am now forever thankful that we crossed paths with him. He ended up helping my mom when the tumor was at its worst. And up to this day he still hasn't given up on my mom. My mom has finally gotten the strength to accept an arm amputation if there's nothing else left to be done, but for now we're praying for a miracle and Dr. Dao is helping us with that. He's truly amazing at what he does! And he's very nice, respectful, caring and genuine. Wish we would have met him sooner.

He has a very bad maner he tries every little and unnessesary things to add to your bill. He is all for the money. He is not a dr but a businessman . And a bad one too.
