Ying Peng, MD

We were referred to Dr Peng for our 8 year old son to look into the reason for his hypotonia and behavior. She was thorough and immediately noted the same issues we see with him and referred us for a barrage of testing. Great response from Dr Peng.

First appointment with this doctor. I was leery because of the other review of this doctor but apparently, the previous reviewer of this doctor must either be ve

My son was recently referred to Dr. Peng for a neurological consultation to confirm/​rule out autism.
I do feel like she is competent, but her «bedside manner» could use some help. During my son’s evaluation (which started about 15mins late for no obvious reason — their lobby is tiny and we were the only people there that day), she kept asking questions and then interrupting me when I was responding. Within maybe 20mins she had decided on a diagnosis (the whole appt was supposed to be an hour — we were there maybe half of that) and was writing it out. She did point out the things she was looking for and the reasoning behind some of her questions, at least. I have been pushing back against this evaluation for a year now because I didn’t want my child «slapped with a label», and now I’m really glad I did. Had our appointment gone this way a year ago without the services (speech & ABA) in between I would have been livid.
So, I have the 1-​pg thing she wrote on the spot, and after asking for the official report, her receptionist Debbie sent me the Doctor’s 2-​pg notes. I asked for a few minor corrections (mostly dates, number of vitamins, family history) or a more official looking report and both of those requests have been ignored. It doesn’t even have the Doctor’s signature, just a notification that it has been signed. I’m hoping I’ll have better luck in the upcoming week now that Thanksgiving is over.
Also, for reference, to reach her office you need to turn onto Bellogente (north side of Crown Valley) and follow it until you reach a cul-​de-​sac that splits into different driveways for offices. If you take the first right driveway you see, you’re there.
