Patient Reviews
Jul 28, 2025
He RUINED me. I came in for a simple sinus surgery and left worse than before. Constant pain, swelling, and now I can barely breathe through my nose. Dr Teng brushed me off like it was in my head, excuse me, I didn't imagine this nightmare.No follow-up care, no responsibility, just excuses. I've had to see another specialist to fix what he did. I regret ever stepping foot in this place. Absolute disaster.

Warning! CA Dept of Pub Health determined several 'Federal Violations' & MediCare determined 'Unconsented & Below the Standard' surgery done to me by James Teng,MD. & false charges for procedures not done. Permanent damage to my face, vision & nasal breathing caused my loss of my gov. employment.
