Kevin Khai Tieu, MD

Dr. Tieu is a very dedicated doctor who gives his patients the utmost care and respect. He is a gem of an obgyn. However, he is not great at choosing his office staff. I have to admit that a lot of them did improved a little bit however there is one office staff with a sharp black bob haircut that is quite brass and unfriendly.
I’m not sure if they already do but I suggest they wear name tags so patients can address concerns of their behavior by names.
And the wait is very long. Came at appointed time and waited for more than an hour before seeing him.

He is the best ob Doctor. I like him! But I don’t really like some of his nurse assistance. The way their talk not friendly.

Dr. Kevin is amazing! He just delivered my baby yesterday and everything went smoothly as planned. His office has the best customer service ever. They are the most caring genuine people. Every check up I went to here dr Kevin was always smiling laughing no matter how tired he is he always puts a smile on his face that shows he has great character. Thank you Dr. Kevin and your team I appreciate everything you guys did for me and my family ! I highly recommend this place.

This doctor is probably the best OB doctor you can find around OC areas for individual private practice. His new office is very nice, clean, and neat, much better than the old one on Bolsa a while back. His staffs are competent, efficient, and hard working. I like that a lot since you know they care about not wasting their time and your time. Everything around the office is organized and efficient. Everyone knows what needs to be done and they get things done quickly and effectively. This office is probably the most efficient-​run individual private doctor office that I know.
The doctor is very hard working and appears to be genuinely caring about his patients with a lot of understanding. I honestly do not trust to have any other OB doctor than Dr Tieu. I am very grateful that I found Dr. Tieu and he delivered both of my sons. I highly recommend him as OB doctor for all pregnant ladies out there.

This review has been way overdue… dr Tieu is the best ob! He’s caring, professional, knows what he’s doing and he has great bed side manners. I always got a call back from him every time I call regarding an issue im having. It’s true that his office is extremely busy and the wait time can be long (one hour?) but he’s worth the wait. He delivered my son last March and if I decided to have another baby, I’d definitely be coming back to him!

I gave birth to my son 4 Months ago and I must say Dr Tieu is awesome. The waits were always long, but that’s because everyone wants to use Dr Tieu. Dr Tieu is fast and know what he’s doing. I was worried doing c section, but he did it so professionally and beautifully. My c section scar and pain healed quick and I was able to exercise in a month. Thank you dr Tieu!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Tieu! He is simply the BEST!
After a horrible experience with my previous ob/​gyn and having my son — Dr. Tieu was a godsend when it came to having my daughter!
He is always late with his appointments, but when it is your turn — he sits down, discusses everything and explains everything to you like he has all the time in the world. Never once did I feel rushed or like my questions/​concerns went unanswered.
I even called in one day because my toddler had jumped on my stomach and I was having pain, Dr. Tieu got on the phone right then and spoke with me — how many doctors do you know even take phone calls?!
Another time I was in a minor traffic accident and was being monitored in labor and delivery at the hospital, he came to see me to see how I was doing! I mean seriously, I have never in my life met a more caring doctor!

My experience at this office was great. Dr. Tieu was a very kind doctor, extremely dedicated and knowledgeable. His staff was nice, well-​trained and friendly. My husband and I are very happy that we chose this office based on referral. I feel fortunate to have Dr. Tieu as my OB doctor. I highly recommend this office!

Dr Tieu is #1 in our families view. While his office is very very busy with walk in patients and emergency deliveries, the most impressive thing about Dr. Tieu is that he listens to you. He takes the time to answer your questions in a very polite and concise manner while also providing all the depth you need.
His experience is the reason that our family has a healthy newborn baby boy. It was his guidance that helped us overcome previous m/​c as he maximized the chance that the fetus grew and became our baby boy. Numerous times during our 39 weeks of care, we called after hours and received guidance from Dr. Tieu and his staff. Either he or his nurse practitioner Thanh would always call back and help us overcome our symptoms and worries as first time parents. Everyone in the office is calming, professional and generous in providing guidance regarding testing and office procedures. Scheduling is great about moving things around as needed and additionally gets you in should you have an immediate need to see the doctor.
His new office on Brookhurst is 100 times better than the old and is again such a calming, stable atmosphere with excellent parking!
In the hospital performing the c-​section, Dr. Tieu and his assistant Thanh were top notch and had things lined up with precision in making sure Mommy was in a good place and safe while the baby came into the world both healthy and safe!
5 stars is well deserved for 39 weeks of care, guidance and a healthy baby. Mommy is statistically in the 1% of woman who have a first child over the age of 40 and we must say again that we believe that without Dr. Tieu we wouldn’t be blessed with our son.
Thank you again Doctor Tieu and support staff!

I had my baby 9 months ago, but I haven’t had the time to write this review until now. I want to thank Dr. Tieu for his wonderful care and the attention he’s given me. I’m taking the time out of my busy schedule to write this review because I want other mothers to know that Dr. Tieu is an excellent choice as their OBGYN. I understand that OBGYNs nowadays are very busy due to their packed schedule and Dr. Tieu was able to make me feel very special and cared for. Pregnancy can be a very stressful period, and it is exactly that type of doctor-​patient relationship that I really appreciated. A warning for new mothers-​to-​be: there are too many doctors out there that are in this business for the money, and I’ve heard many personal anecdotes of mother patients that have difficulties working with their doctors (be it the doctors’ unwillingness to answer questions or lack of attentive care). That sort of environment should be avoided at all costs and it is precisely why I am such a strong supporter of Dr. Tieu’s clinic. My previous OBGYN doctor was both a female and spoke my native tongue, but I decided to switch to Dr. Tieu based on two of my friend’s strong recommendation. Despite the hour drive to visit him, and the previously mentioned factors, I know for a fact that Dr. Tieu was the right choice for me, and I’m sure he will be the right choice for you, too. The nuances of his care cannot be stated enough. Although he is clearly alway busy, he always gives his patients his full attention and will answer all your questions and have you leaving feeling reassured and safe. There was a time where I ate up a large amount of his time, and he let me know that it is what he’s there for and it’s what he wants for the patient. I was really touched by his approach to his practice. All in all, I wouldn’t recommend anyone else for an OBGYN.
Side Note: Dr. Tieu makes himself available around the clock, allowing us patients to call him after his work hours for any urgent matters we might have.
生產後的第9個月，帶著兩個小孩的我超忙，但怎麼忙我都要對Dr tieu 寫寫 review。 因為我想讓更多的媽媽知道dr tieu 的好，讓更多的媽媽有多一個選擇。因為我知道現在很多婦產科醫師都很忙，忙到不能給媽媽們充分的時間去發問她們的問題，尤其是新手媽媽，第一次懷著baby，擔心的有很多很多，我有的朋友去一些只為了錢的婦科醫生，都沒辦法安心養胎，因為醫師都沒辦法解開她們的憂慮。我這胎是第二胎，我的第一胎是找一個香港女醫師（我是香港人）。我知道 dr tieu 是因為我兩個朋友都在用他。我兩個朋友都對他讚不絕口。決定選dr tieu之前，很多人都問我，這個 dr tieu 是男的，又不說中文，你決定你要嗎？加上我住的地方是離 dr tieu 的診所有一個小時的車程。所以當時我也考慮了一下下的。但現在我可以告訴你們，我當時的決定是對的。說老實的，用言語，用書寫的，是沒辦法講到他的好。 他很耐心很關心病人。每個月回去複診的時候，都看到他是很忙的，但他也會很耐心的給每個病人好好問診，不會覺得他一直再趕著的。每次他跟我看還診，每次離開房間之前，他都會問我有沒有別的問題。記得有一次我有很多問題問他，我一邊問一邊道歉說我耽誤了他，他居然馬上坐下來說要慢慢的回答我所有問題，他說這是他的工作。（他說: this is why I am here for) 他人太好了。感動。他人真的很好，讓你覺得很舒服，不會有不敢問的。另外我最喜歡他就是他下了班，如果我遇到什麼難題，他都會親自回我電話。讓自己公餘時間都給病人的醫師，真的沒話好了，這樣的醫師，真的很難找到了。dr tieu 真的是一個好醫生，我大推。大推。

Love this Dr. He delivered my 2^nd child 5 yrs ago and soon my 3^rd. He’s very caring, friendly, gentle, and he listens to me. I’ve called him a few times during closed hrs and he has always calls back. Office staff are great and friendly too. Wait sometimes can be long but hey… ppl choose to wait still because they prefer to see him. Thank you for everything Dr. Kevin Tieu & staff!

He is a great caring doctor, but man… The wait is unbearable. Each time I see him, the max is 15 mins, the wait is always at least an hour. They need to work more or hire more doctors/​nurses. If you need an ob-​gyn for pregnancy then it might be worth the wait. However, if you just need a regular ob-​gyn for papsmears; any doctor can do the job.

Top notch doctor but I deducted a star. See my explanation later. I love Dr Tieu even after 7 yrs of going to him. When I had my first pregnancy I went to this really old OB my sister recommended me and thank my lucky star, he was retiring from delivering babies and just sticking to GYN stuff so he transferred my file to the newly graduate from internship DR Tieu. Ever since then I’ve recommended everyone I know to him. Lol. I’ve experienced the worse and the bad and the good with his office and the staff, and dr Tieu really listens to his patients so now everything is good. I don’t like the wait being in the office due to too many patients (and it’s hard to get an immediate appt) but I don’t mind the wait. I know he’s overbooking and is way too busy (and possibly burned out), but I feel that he is a good doc who doesn’t turn patients down for any reason and I like that. If he’s good then other people should also get a chance to have him care for them too instead of expecting him to limit his patient intake bc it wouldn’t be fair for other people and it’s not ethical of him as a professional. If you were one of the patients being turned down of making an appt then you would not like it so it’s not fair to ask him to limit seeing other patients. So a little wait doesn’t kill anyone. We have to wait for most things we want nowadays anyway.
The reason I took off a star is bc I just had my papsmear done last week by his PA and although she is a sweetheart, she really killed me wi the pain (it never got that painful when dr Tieu did it for me). Maybe the pain got worse bc she showed me the clamp before inserting it which was not very comforting to see. On top of that I was spotting borderline bleeding when I came home. This is normal I know but the pain/​discomfort and the spotting still lasted 2 days and on going as I’m writing this review the second day of «heavy spotting» and still experience it. I hate it bc I have to wear a pad and my period is coming in a few days so this is like adding a few days to my pad use duration which we all know is not something we want to have, especially when your period lasts for 7 days. Sighhhh. I agree to have her so the papsmear bc he was busy and I thought he’s more needed to see ally he pregnant and distressed ladies in the rooms waiting for him so I graciously said ok. But I guess next time I would to decline and wait a little more to see the doctor himself. Hahha that is if I remember this pain this time next year. Cheers.

The one and only GREATEST OBGYN!!!
4 years ago, My husband and I made the perfect decision by selecting Dr. Tieu to deliver our first son! Then again last September with our 2^nd :)) We came to him with so lil info about pregnancy and child birth, our first impression of him?.. wow.he’s young! But after talking to Dr. Tieu, and getting to know him a bit, I knew right there and then, I’m in good hands:)))). He’s genuine, friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and he’s the wonderful Dr. Tieu!!! My experience with him has always been pleasant!!! I felt absolutely 100% safe when I get to see him. The perks of going here? I get to see my baby at EVERY single stage of the pregnancy!!!(unlike Kaiser or other offices). Yup, they have the ultrasound machine in each exam room. and the 3D machine too!!! There are 2 or 3 phlebotomists on site, so I hardly need to go to an actual laboratory to get all the testings done, except for the major ones. I don’t know how Dr. Tieu manages his time. after seeing all the patients, rounding at 3 different hospitals, delivering babies, then being a husband and a father at home!!! *hats off to you, Dr. Tieu!!! Every patient wants to see him and him only. I wish there’s more of him!!! (Clone machine!!) :P. Even though he’s one BUSY doctor, he still manages to take his time to answer all the questions, give advice, and provide additional helpful information at each visit. Oh and let’s not forget, he WILL return your phone call within the day of!
Being pregnant and not knowing what to expect throughout the 9 months long, we women need reassurance. We constantly wanting to know if our babies are healthy.alive.and kickin’!! Well, let me tell you, Dr. Tieu is the ANSWER! So, to all the preggos out there, make sure you pay him a visit… you won’t regret your decision! :)
The only down side, you just gotta wait at least an hour to see him :(((((
**New office located on Brookhurst & Heil (Right across from Mile square golf course)

Dr. Tieu is very good. He delivered my son early because I was in pain and couldn’t wait any longer for my son to be out! My son was a week early; because Dr. Tieu did me a favor when I told him I wanted my son out already, he saw I (son) was ready before my due date so he agreed to it! Besides that, during my prenatal visits, he was very caring step by step and gentle to every move. I’ve been going to him for the last 5 or 6 years now, for; from being pregnant to a miscarriage and from being pregnant to deliver a health baby that’s now 4 years old! He has always monitored my health condition carefully.
The down side is that, he’s always so busy. I can’t even do walk-​ins anymore. Nowadays, he’s so hard to see and talk to over the phone if there’s an emergency. But again, maybe cus he’s getting known for of his profession!

I have to admit that Dr. Tieu knows his sh*t and he is skilled at what he does. However, like many many Vietnamese doctors, he takes way more patients than he can handle which makes you wonder if they got into this profession bc they care or bc of the money. Overbooking, making patients wait an hour even if they have an appointment, being too busy to give your patient the time they deserve are all unethical. I have to wait over an hour EVERY TIME and then I get to see him for 5 minutes. I always feel rushed and I don’t like that. The staff is not that friendly, which I’ve sadly learned to expect from any Vietnamese staff — it just comes with the territory. For my postpartum check up, I waited an hour again but this time I didn’t even get to see him bc he was stuck at the hospital. Instead, his PA saw me, and while she was very nice, she had bright pink lipstick & pink nails which made it harder for me to take her seriously. The only positive thing I have to say is that this man is highly competent & I guess for some people that makes the wait worth it. I also like the fact that he’s more contemporary in his approaches — like he told me during my pregnancy that it was okay to drink 1 cup of coffee a day or eat sushi in moderation if it’s fresh. I can’t even argue that point with family members who all think THEY’RE doctors and have lots of advice. If you don’t mind the staff, the wait, the rush, and the fact that he might not make it to your delivery bc he’s constantly in surgery or seeing patients, then I highly recommend him.

What can i say about Dr. Tieu he is a true professional. Master of his craft, i can say nothing bad about this gentleman and his staff. We were recommended by some friends and it was a great recommendation. I would and have recommended Dr. Tieu to everyone i know. From the time we first met Dr. Tieu and until now our child Willow was born we had a great experience all the way through. Thank you Dr. Tieu

Dr Tieu is a great doctor and I am very sad that my insurance has changed and I can no longer go to him. I saw him for the first two appointments of my first pregnancy, so needless to say I was nervous, had a lot of questions, and needed a bit of hand holding. He was great! He was patient, he spent a while with my husband and I and kept asking, «Are there any other questions?» until he knew we had covered everything. I was also able to call and get a last minute appointment right before Christmas when I had some pains and was concerned there was an issue. I thought he would think I was being a pain, but instead he told me coming in was the right thing and it was better to know everything was fine then to worry unnecessarily. Fortunately, everything was great. Dr. Tieu also does an ultrasound and gives you pics at each visit, which is awesome.
The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was because of his staff. They are all nice, but the language barrier makes the quality of service suffer. We could barely understand each other, and as a result some of my medical information was entered incorrectly (they listed me as having allergies to certain medications which was untrue).
Dr. Tieu, however, is 5 stars all the way!

Dr Tieu is one of the best OB/​GYNs in Orange County. He’s very personable, takes his time to answer all of your questions, and very attentive. He called me personally to follow up with lab results and always called back if you left him messages.
I’ve been seeing him since my first child over 8 years ago when he was still a partner with another doctor.
Because he’s such a good doctor, his office is always busy. The average wait with an appointment is between 40 – 60 minutes. It could be a problem for many people because of the long wait. I personally do not mind and always give myself extra time.
The parking is not so great but you can park at the church parking lot right next door.

Everyone loves seems to love this OBGYN. My wife’s been going for years so we make the short drive in to Little Saigon and then I get to eat delicious Viet food after! Me? As a guy I can’t really review the Doc but I will say I love the compfy couch and all the big orchids and flowers in the front office…
That and the waterfall mixed with the viet channel lulls me to sleep.
ZzzzZzz…
Seriously though, if it’s your first visit know that parking is limited, you have to be going west on Bolsa to turn in, otherwise a u-​turn is in your future! Once in its tight. Employees park at the church next door, so that might be were you have to go to score a spot.
And there is nothing to read but baby magazines, so bring your own or post a Unilocal!review :-)
