I am EXTREMELY upset at the treatment I received when I phoned Dr. Vu's office. My family and I are looking for a doctor in Manhattan Beach (we have lived here for 30 years). The first thing I asked the young woman who answered the phone was "Is Dr. Vu taking new patients?" and she replied that he was and asked me when I was available for an appointment. She asked me why we were looking for a doctor and I said my husband and I are getting older and wanted a doctor in our own town. On-line Dr. Vu has outstanding recommendations and is listed as a "general practice" physician with various specialities including aging, overall healthy living, etc. He seemed like a perfect fit. As soon as I told her this, her demeanor changed completely and she said Dr. Vu is NOT a family doctor, and focuses entirely on hormone replacement. I explained to her that EVERYTHING on line says differently and she said "thank you" and hung up on me! I was nearly in tears over the extremely rude and uncaring treatment I received.
