If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Patients appreciate
Dr. Christopher Trinh consistently receives exceptional praise for his outstanding bedside manner and interpersonal skills. Patients repeatedly describe him as friendly, personable, professional, and caring, with many noting his upbeat, enthusiastic personality that puts them at ease. His communication skills stand out prominently, with numerous reviews highlighting how he takes time to listen carefully to patient concerns, explains diagnoses and treatment options clearly in understandable terms, and ensures patients feel heard and respected. Patients frequently commend his knowledge and expertise, particularly noting his skill with steroid injections, which many describe as relatively painless. The efficiency of his practice is also widely appreciated, with patients reporting minimal wait times and prompt appointments. His thorough approach to examinations, willingness to answer all questions, and genuine concern for patient wellbeing are consistently mentioned as distinguishing qualities.
Patients also share
While overwhelmingly positive, a few areas for improvement emerge from the reviews. One patient expressed concern about a knee fluid drainage procedure being performed without local anesthesia, finding it unnecessarily painful compared to past experiences with other providers and requesting to see a different doctor for future appointments. Another patient felt rushed during their visit despite an otherwise positive experience. One review mentioned feeling that the doctor wasn't fully listening or respecting the patient's long experience with their condition, suggesting he may not be the best fit for everyone. A single patient noted that not everything discussed during the visit appeared in their visit summary documentation.
