Teng Francis W, MD

If want a surgeon that cares then please go see Dr Teng! I met him on a Wed to be sent for a biopsy. The following week we were positive for breast cancer and one week later I was in surgery!
The follow up by Tina & her staff is amazing. Tina is great. It’s been a month since my surgery, I’ve since been referred to an oncologist but Tina just called to check up on my status when I don’t go back to Dr Teng until February.
I’m a raving fan and I’m not the only one. I reached out to another breast cancer survivor who wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for him. And every person I talk to love the brother team; the other doc is the anesthesiologist and I don’t remember a thing and had no side effects.
My choice for any surgery is Dr Teng!

Best doctor provided all the information needed to make sure the lap ban surgery was a success

I met Dr. Teng in the most unpleasant way possible — as an emergency patient for an appendectomy. He was everything you could possibly hope to find in a surgeon under such circumstances — cool, calm, professional, knowledgeable, and skilled. He did everything necessary, promptly, efficiently, skillfully, and with complete success. No more could be asked, or expected. This is how one would hope a surgeon would be.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and those who rated Dr. Teng a 1-​star must really be unhappy in their own life as making a negative review must make your day!
The only surgery I had in my life was having my wisdom teeth removed until last year I had an umbilical hernia repaired. YES it was painful during the recovery process; being cut through several layers through the abdomen is not a walk in the park; oh and the scaring was minimal Dr Teng even called me post-​op to see how I was doing; my one-​week follow up was still painful but as long as you FOLLOW the doctor;s orders you will get through it. Everyone has a different pain level and healing time varies. I would go through the procedure again I would do it again with Dr. Teng; his bed-​side manners are the best out there; he’s an amazing physician no matter if you’re the «money making bariatric» patient to a «routine» procedure know you will be well taken care of!
SIDE NOTE– SOAPBOX I don’t know if teaching «if you don’t have anything nice to say then DON’T say anything at all» is too late for some!!! Opinions do matter… nice or not just think and re-​read before submitting…
THANKS for your time in reading my review

Dr. Teng is a great surgeon. I was recommended by my oncology doctor. I went to Dr. Teng during March of 2014 to get my Power Port removed. A week later, I went to Summerlin Hospital and had my surgery with Dr. Teng. After half an hour or so, he got my Power Port out safely. Dr. Teng is very quick and cares for his patients. Would recommend if anyone needs surgery.

Dr Teng completed Para esophageal Hiatal Hernia surgery on me in September 2014. I chose Him because he has extensive experience as a General Surgeon. He lived up to His positive surgical reputation. With any surgery there are risks and not everything is always perfect. With that said, I have had minimal side effects to this point, 2 months later.

This man does not listen. He has horrible bedside manner and thinks he is god. I had hernia repair which was pretty extensive. If you are looking for pain control after a major surgery go see someone else. I have conflict with him every single time I see him. He does not listen and that is the conflict I am still in a lot of pain and I just know he doesn’t care. He cares more about how wonderful he is. I would never recommend him to anyone I liked on the other hand if I don’t like you I would absolutely recommend him. My referring doc is going to hear all about him so much so she will consider sending her patients elsewhere. I will be reporting him to the board. They are going to get a well documented account of the incidents I have endured from start to finish. I am also thinking about hiring a lawyer and sueing him for neglect and unprofessional conduct.

I agree with Veronika O. Dr Teng’s office manager/​sister is the nasiest, rudest and most arrogant person I’ve dealt with in the medical field. It’s amazing he still has a practice with the way his office is run. Even the staff at Mountainview Hospital don’t want to deal with her. When I had surgery there and they needed a form from his office, they asked me to call because they didn’t want to deal with her. i also told my family Dr never to refer him again. There are other surgeons, find someone else.

I had a geat experience with Dr. Teng and his staff. My operation went very well and the follow up visits were also very good. Friendly helpful staff, and a wonderful dotor. I give them all five stars.

Best surgeon in Las Vegas. I can only give a double thumbs up. He is the most amazing and compassionate surgeon that I have met

Back in January I had to have my gall bladder removed which was a very unexpected and scary surgery for someone like me who has only ever had my wisdom teeth out. I was referred to Dr. Teng’s office by a friend of mine who had the weight loss surgery that is his bread and butter. I should have waited for the doctor who I was referred to in the ER to have an opening but I was in a ton of pain and wanted to have the surgery as soon as possible. It was no surprise that my liver was inflamed and that Dr. Teng said it was the worst gall bladder case he has ever seen, but at least he got it out and although I now have an 8 inch scar it was worth it to no longer be in the kind of pain I was experiencing.
I too had to pay a deposit before the surgery which I did and then six months after the surgery I received a sizable bill. I couldn’t understand why after the deposit and my insurance company pitching in he was still expecting me to pay almost $ 800! With the ER bills leading up to the surgery taxing our finances as well you can imagine I was not thrilled. My husband tried calling the office at least three times to get the scoop on the bill. When it came in the mail it looked sketchy with no actual descriptive information on it. I could have designed a more legitimate looking invoice on my own computer! We wanted to know what we were paying for exactly and why the balance was so much. After three phone calls my husband had still not heard back from the office yet they continued to send out invoices threatening to slap us with a late payment. Honestly, who does not return phone calls??? If you are a business it is what you do! We were very frustrated.
Finally my husband got ahold of Dr. Teng’s head secretary or office manager who seems to think very highly of herself. She was very unhelpful and wouldn’t answer his questions besides telling him to contact our insurance provider. Again, what kind of business practice is this?
We paid our bills and hopefully that’s the end of it.

Dr. Teng performed two surgeries for me and they were amazing without a hitch. One was laparoscopic removal of gall bladder (five years later, no scarring and no awful attacks) His staff was great with follow up, took me about two days to get over pain.
Second was removal of small tumor near lymph gland and again, no problem and he was able to put scar in crease of leg where it is nearly ever visible. That was scary because we were unsure if it was a return of serious disease; it was not.
I’ve referred others to him, though these days his practice seems to focus on gastric bypass/​lap band etc. Sign of the times I suppose.
Never waited long to see him, he always answered my questions and I’d still suggest him as a general surgeon.

I have the utmost respect for Dr. Teng. He is truly the most caring and competent physician I have ever seen. Always on call and never too busy to take charge at anytime N/​D. He got me through a very difficult time and I know if I needed him right now he would be at the other end of the phone or meeting me at the hospital. He is a man with a true commitment to his profession and the finest Dr. and gentlemen I have ever met. His brother works hand in hand with as his antheisologist and also a true professional. Office staff caring, competent, and always ready to make things work. As you can see I wish I could go to him for everything that was in need of attention. I wish him and all his staff the best always and look forward to my follow up visit in a couple of months. one other point of information. Always has a can do and wonderful attitude. Thank you Dr. Teng You saved my life. Thanks again

Its all about the money, and really who goes through medical school if its not about the big cash. Healing and helping people cannot possibly be the motivation.
I had my gallbladder removed by Dr. Francis Teng. My 2 insurances were billed $ 26,000. Thankfully, (not) my out of pocket was only $ 320 and $ 210 to the anesthicialogist who happens to be Tengs brother and $ 35 to Rosa Teng (office manager) for a one page return to work form.
My return visit after the surgery was about 10 seconds long. I was still asking him questions when he was shaking my hand and leading me out of the office. Rosa his sister and office manager is so rude. The word rude doesn’t describe how awful this woman is. She is snarky, smartass, pretentious and full of smartass comments. She handles all the insurance and copay fees. She will nickle and dime you, so be sure you contact your insurance to make sure you get the right coverage and no extra fees.
By the way he does single incision surgery, he promises no scar, well mine healed horribly, its what they call a keloid scar and its about and inch long right under my bellybutton.
Go to a different doctor. Or ask any medical professional in the las vegas area and everyone seems to agree with the bad bedside manner of Dr. Francis Teng and the unprofessional office assistant Rosa.
