I’ve been in a few times now for SculpSure. Leila is amazing! I had a ton of questions and concerns at first but she was patient and addressed all of them. She is sfriendly and I felt that I was in good hands. It works and would definitely recommend if you are interested!

Dr. Vinh is thorough and pays close attention to his clients. He is very supportive and offers alternatives to some of the more harmful medications. I trust his knowledge and his care 100%.

Dr. Ngo is easy to talk with and always provides clear and articulate answers to any questions I have, and his visits are never rushed.

WARNING! FAKE REVIEWS, MEDICAL FRAUD, AND SCAMS ($4860). SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS.Vinh Ngo at Smart Medicine messed up my $4860 treatment by failing to follow the manufacturers guideline of using PATIENT FEEDBACK to adjust setting levels. Instead, without my consent or knowledge (but later admitted to), Vinh Ngo used a much weaker setting level than the one I had repeatedly requested for, which made my $4860 treatment USELESS! When confronted, Vinh Ngo BLOCKED my number and emails to avoid responsibility!Then, through the Medical Boards database (docinfo.org), I discovered that Vinh Ngo committed MEDICAL FRAUD by providing false information about his medical credentials and qualifications, which deceived me into paying him by making me believe that he was much more qualified than he really is. Vinh Ngo FALSELY claims that his medical degree is from New York Medical College when in reality, he FAILED to earn the grades and standardized test scores necessary for admission into any medical school in the USA (his country of birth and residence), so he attended a medical school in a third world country through a loophole called Fifth Pathway, which the the American Medical Association found so problematic, it was permanently SHUT DOWN in 2009.

Both my husband and myself had Sculpsure treatments at Smart Medicine and we couldn’t be happier with the results! Both Dr. Ngo and Leila are super helpful and easy to work with for scheduling and answering any questions we had. Try Sculpsure at Smart Medicine, you won’t be disappointed!

Dr. Ngo is without a doubt the best doctor Ive ever had. He has always been prompt and on time when it comes to appointments, and he seems like a guy who is genuinely concerned about your well-being. Hes willing to work with you to find a solution to your problems. I recently went through a crisis, and Dr. Ngo was able to provide me with the medication I needed same day, while at the same time consulting with others around me to make sure my request was legitimate. Id say hes about the best you could get.

Dr. Ngo is the most kind, compassionate and professional doctor I’ve ever had. He is not just trying to add patients to his practice like many other doctors. He actually takes the time to help his patients conquer whatever ailment they have - from the root of the problem! His focus is having his patients lives improve in every aspect. He doesn’t just band-aid whatever you see him for. When I began being treated by him it was like a breath of fresh air. His focus was making me a better, healthier & happier person over all (amongst treating me for my recovery/maintenance). He is by far the best doctor I’ve ever had. He cares about his patients and he doesn’t just want to treat their issues, he wants them to heal and be as strong & successful as they can be. Dr. Ngo takes all the necessary time and effort to help his patients live “well” lives. He cares!! Unlike the average doctor these days... I hope if your reading this you choose his practice. Because he continues to help me change my bad habits and focus on what I need to do to become my best self! — Under his care I was able to lose 40lbs, which has changed my entire life! I am the happiest I’ve been in many many years, all because of his treatment!! I saw him bi weekly for my weight loss and he helped me with my nutrition, direction and motivation. I had tried hundreds of diets, fads, trainers, etc. but in 17 years couldn’t lose the weight I wanted to, until I was under his care. I haven’t been that weight in over 17 years!!

Dr. Ngo is an amazing physician who truly cares about his patients. He is tough on patients when he should be, but kind and fair to them when he needs to be. He has helped my son immensely. An excellent doctor.

Dr. Ngo has been my doctor for the past year; we started with management of my perimenopausal symptoms and later transitioned to bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Dr. Ngo is very knowledgeable, he answers all my questions, explains what to expect and makes the whole process from consultations to taking tests to follow ups and getting my prescription easy and convenient. I feel that I am in good hands and cant be happier with my results of having quality of my life back. Thank you, Dr. Ngo!

I saw Dr. Ngo for SculpSure treatments in the fall because of asymmetrical fat distribution on my belly that has plagued me since I was a teenager. I had pretty much lost hope that anything was going to help even it out as I had tried many different treatments and weight loss protocols over the years. Even when Ive been leaner, the asymmetry was still obvious.When Dr. Ngo and his technician told me about SculpSure, I felt excited about the prospect of doing a treatment that could destroy the fat in a noninvasive way (laser) and had a reputation for much more even results than with fat freezing treatments. Im so grateful I did it!After only two treatments (waiting approximately six weeks between sessions and about six more weeks afterward before I saw the full effect), my results are DRAMATIC. Its still not 100% even, but its so much more even that I dont think anyone else would notice the asymmetry but me. My belly is overall leaner and the treated area blends in perfectly with the surrounding area- no lumps or uneven places at all.As others have said, the treatment was totally tolerable, and they adjust the intensity to what is comfortable for you. I was able to go do a vigorous workout right after the treatment with no problems whatsoever. In fact, Dr. Ngo said that exercise after the procedure could be beneficial, as moving the lymph system would help to drain the dead fat cells from the treated area.Dr. Ngo and his SculpSure technician are an amazing team. They made sure I was well informed and comfortable the whole time.As as holistic health practitioner myself, I so appreciate Dr. Ngos overall integrative, functional, and holistic approach to medicine, and have referred clients of mine to see him when they needed to see an MD and/or had physical issues that were beyond my scope of practice. I am so grateful for Smart Medicine SF, and highly recommend them!

I heard about SculpSure from a friend of mine who had done it, and decided to give it a try. I really liked the idea that it is non-invasive, and requires no downtime as I didn’t want to put a hold on my gym routine. Dr. Ngo’s office is a small discreet spot in SoMa; I like that. Dr. Ngo is a very kind and thoughtful doctor. He really listened to me and was able to answer all my questions regarding the procedure. I had my abdomen treated, and I am very happy with the results. I was nervous that it was going to be painful, but they are able to adjust it according to the patients needs. The technician was very nice and attentive. She made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Ngo and his staff, and will definitely be going back!

As an athlete during the earlier years of my life, I had numerous injuries resulting in extensive contact with many Doctors. Amost always, I felt like I was treated like just another patient or a number.As I have aged, I was blessed to be referred to Dr. Vinh Ngo nearly five years ago. While leading a healthy lifestyle, I have still faced a number of health challenges that required Dr. Ngo for diagnosis and treatment.First and foremost, Dr. Ngo treats you like a human being and immediately puts you at ease during face to face exams and telephone consultations. Hes very friendly and personable and takes his time to listen to your concerns.Next, he carefully considers all aspects of your personal, professional and physical well being before recommending the appropriate treatment(s). He explains the diagnosis in detail and in an understandable manner.Dr. Ngo takes a preventive approach to medicine rather than a pure treatment approach....this is so refreshing! He stresses the importance of a healthy lifestyle (nutrition, exercise and mental well being) to help improve your overall health.Finally, Dr. Ngo is a consummate professional, yet he is also a very friendly, caring and supportive human being. There are very few Doctors who offer these qualities in my experience over the years. I highly recommend him for your healthcare needs!
