Tae W. Noh, MD, FACOG

Doctor Noh is such a caring and experience OB doctor! I liked his practice so much when I had my first daughter. He made sure that I was not stress out during my pregnancy period as he answered all of my concerns in person and over the phone.
I called him multiple time at midnight because I was too nervous toward my delivery. Dr. Noh was so patience to me and calm me down every time.
Besides, he has better communication with my Korean husband, which is a bonus star for him!
Thank you so much, Dr Noh and your team took care of me and my baby for whole ten months!

I know that he might be different because of the culture in which he was raised. However, I must say that, from my wife’s and my prospective, he is really a doctor that prioritizes the patient’s health the most.
My wife got pregnant. We discovered it one month later she got pregnant. We have made an appointment with another doctor (who’s not Dr. Noh). Before this appointment, my wife started to bleed. We desperately called the doctor with whom we have appointment in the following week. She told us to go to emergency room. I was really not sure if I could find an OBGYN there. I called a couple of more doctors but could not make an appointment at the day. My wife was a new patient to any doctor.
I was very desperate and called this Dr. Noh. His receptionist gave us the earliest possible schedule, so we could see the doctor just in a couple of hours. Dr. Noh did his best to take care of my wife. We could see how much he was really worrying for my wife’s health. He left his phone number so we can call. He also gave us a call during the weekend to check how things were going. What he did was very different from what the first doctor did.
We have experienced a couple of miscommunication after then. However, it is a small thing to us. What is crucial for a doctor may not be to say sweet words kindly to the patients, etc. (I do not mean he’s not kind.) I believe that the single most important code of professional ethics is to do the best for the patients in need. In this sense, I would say he is a good doctor.

I love my doctor she’s always so tentive to me and my pregnancy I will highly recommend her.

Dr. Noh is very kind, patience, and knowledge. I made several visits to him since I had some health issue and my family doctor recommended him. There were a few times I had questions about my health problem, I called the office and Dr. Noh returned my call as soon as he could. Instead of telling me to come in (as most doctors don’t like to consult over the phone, they want you to come in so they can bill insurance)., he just gave me advices over the phone. Because he is very nice, I decide not to go back to my family doctor :-).

i won’t recommend this doctor to anyone, he does not think about his patients anymore, he only cares about money.
First time I went there, he only checked my big tummy without saying anything. Second time, I went there also, nothing happened, checking my belly and then went home. Three time, I went there, after I got charge out from hospital – ER – . I asked him, what was wrong with him, he didn’t know anything about humanity, he only care about money without checking good his patient!!! Careless!!!
I lost my baby!!! Lucky me, I am alive!!! He only care sending bill to my home!!! If I died, I don’t know what ‘s going on with the doctor, my family won’t let him alive and open his clinic till now!!!
One of my friend’s cousin, said also same thing, a lot people come to this doctor coz they don’t speak english, so they don’t have any choice.
I won’t recommend this doctor to anybody, if you want to be save find a good doctor, not him. You will your life or your baby as same as me!

I’m very satisfied with the doctor’s visit yesterday! I didn’t have insurance and called up many other doctors office but just to find out that they either don’t take ppl without insurance or charge me an arm and a leg. Dr. Tae is willing to work with me not having insurance and gave me a decent price too! :) He thoroughly explained on what’s happening to me and my new pregnancy. I feel very comfortable with this doctor and will definitely refer him to any of my friends and family!

1. Dr Noh’s staff is friendly, but I don’t think they know the policies and procedures very well. When we were referred to Obstetrix Medical Group in San Jose by Dr Noh for amniocentesis, the papers relevant to that along with the referral letter were never sent to Obstetrix by Dr Noh’s staff, though I told them repeatedly over phone to do it and there was ample time to do. As our appointment date was nearing, we started getting calls from Obstetrix that they did not receive the referral papers yet. At one point, one of Dr Noh’s staff members told me she would call back in 10 minutes and she never did and when I called again, she recognized my voice and hung up and left for the day. I think that’s very condescending behavior. It took me a couple of trips to his office and a lot of phone calls to just get the papers out to Obstetrix. They got them on the very last day about half hour before our appointment!
2. After a problem was detected in ultrasound during amniocentesis, we were asked to go for a second opinion by the doctor in Obstetrix. Again the process was not clear whether Dr Noh’s office would be helping us scheduling it or the Obstetrix office. I went back and forth between the two offices and finally I could get an appointment with a doctor in O ‘Connor Hospital by arranging it myself and then I informed Dr Noh’s office. Dr Noh’s staff told me that they would arrange by sending all the paper work for the second opinion with this doctor in O ‘Connor Hospital. But none of the medical records were again sent to this second opinion doctor even in a week’s time. Fortunately this time I had taken a copy of the records myself which came handy for review by this second opinion doctor.
3. During the second opinion at O ‘Connor Hospital, while the ultrasound technician was testing, the office staff came running into the room and stopped the procedure telling that there was no insurance authorization (and the authorization from Santa Clara County Individual Practice Association SCCIPA, this is the medical group the doctor belongs to) for this and I might have to pay. This was very embarrassing. I then agreed to pay for the procedure myself if insurance rejects and continued the test. I don’t understand why no information was sent out to insurance about the second opinion and prior authorization obtained. I later called Dr Noh’s office to inquire and one of his staff said :
«I am new. I have been working here just for 2 years. I don’t know how to do this.» This is not an acceptable answer for the position that she is in. Then I myself called the insurance (Aetna and SCCIPA), got a contact number there and the rules, and then called Dr Noh’s office back and relayed them the information. I think the doctor’s office personnel should find out amongst themselves how to do it rather than take my help.
This place is good only for Asians as they can talk in their local language (I think korean) and get preferred treatment in that way.

Dr. Noh is my OBGYN who I recommend to my whole family as well as strangers. He is very good at explaining his diagnosis & suggestions to you.
