I had gone to another location for a lumbar puncture ordered by my neuro ophthalmologist and had to stop the procedure mid way because of extreme discomfort. I was already crying because I am terrified of needles, and the doctor, who did not even introduce himself, seem disgusted with me from the start. I had to make an appointment to re attempt the LP and decided to go to this location instead.
Dr. Nguyen and the assistant were a 180 degree turn from the other location. He was understanding that I was upset, walked me through the process, and spoke to me like I was more than a patient. This process is invasive and people who go through them are likely dealing with a serious medical diagnosis. Dr. Nguyen seems to realize this and has the compassion that I believe is required.
