We will miss you. Thank you for everything that you have given us. But more importantly, thank you for everything that you have taught us.

Our entire family has been saddened to hear of this news. Dr. Pham had been our primary doctor for more than 15 years. He was the best doctor ever. Our condolences to chi Lien and the boys. He will surely be missed by all of us.
May him rest in peace.

Here was a man. A compassionate. A listener. A friend. A doctor to three generations of my family. One who who would see you in an emergency, who made visits to my parents home, who would get back to you via e-mail within 24 hours with an answer to your question. A Man/Doctor/Friend with a GREAT beside manner who cared and let us know it. I am so glad that in my last few communications I told him that we were thankful to have him as our family doctor. To say we’ll miss him is the understatement of the decade. He will be the standard by which all others are measured. We were lucky to have lived in his time.
To his family: Focus on what he had on his office wall: “Remember, GOD is in control.”

Dr. Pham had been the personal doctor of both my parents for 30 years or more. He was more than just a doctor. He was a friend to them, sharing his stories of his young family growing up and the trips he took to Rosorito beach, Baja, ca. His sudden death has saddened them both and they will miss him and his gentle bedside manner. Farewell Dr. Pham

As a couple and as individuals, we have never had a doctor as professional and caring as Dr. Thang Pham. He became more than a doctor ; he became a friend. He will be missed by both of us. Our blessings go out to his family.
