Dr. Wang and her staff are incredulous! She is ALWAYS on time yet her bedside manner is nothing less than perfect. She and her staff are role models for all doctors and their staff.
March 30, 2018Gretchen T.Verified patient
Dr Wang listened to all my concerns and explained everything to me. I really liked that in the paperwork they ask you if you are interested in receiving information on more 'cosmetic' issues. I appreciate that as I don't want to be sold anything at the doctor's office unless I specifically ask for more info.

Dr. Wang was extremely thorough, answered all of my questions and addressed any concerns I had. I didn't feel at all rushed, and she took care of the skin problem I originally came in for, and also a couple of others that she felt were potential future problems.

Dr. Wang is extremely knowledgeable where within minutes she was able to diagnose the skin condition versus other dermatologists are unsure of condition. She's very thorough and asks to assure you get the best treatment. She's amazing!

Office: All forms were completed on Zocdoc (although they said they only receive the first page) and also mailed to the office a week prior. The assistants were unable to find them and wanted all forms completed again (a fourth time.) They were eventually found but obviously had not been reviewed prior to the appt.
Doctor: She seemed satisfactory but not too personable.
Prices: Seemed in line with similar offices but disorganized in presentation by the front office and with scheduling.

Dr. wang was an excellent listener and took her time to understand my symptoms, explore possible causes and make her diagnosis. She also insisted on a follow-up visit so she could ensure that the condition is improving. Office staff and medical assistants are also all excellent.

I visited Dr. Wang for my daughter's scabby birthmark on her head. Prior to the visit, I wrote down the request in Zocdoc to talk about details of a possible surgery on her birthmark, but not in front of my daughter who is still 6 and scared. Dr. Wang must have received the note and asked me if I want my children to wait in the waiting room while we discussed. She was knowledgeable and very sweet and caring during the whole process of visit. She gave me a couple of options and we agreed not to give her surgery until she wants one. I am happy that I chose her as my daughter's dermatologist. Now she is not scared to go to a doctor. Oh and her staffs are all very nice, too!

We were referred to Dr. Wang by our son's pediatrician. We went to Dr. Wang with concerns about our 9 month old son's eczema. The office staff is so nice and welcoming. Dr. Wang was incredibly thorough and very sweet with our baby. She prescribed the safest dosage of medicine for our baby and made sure that we followed up. After developing a relationship with Dr. Wang, both my husband and I have also set appointments to see her for our annual check-ups.

The soft lighting and music in the waiting area are serene and peaceful....almost "spa-like!" Dr. Wang is unhurried with her examinations and encourages any and all questions. She has a very calming presence and I felt an instant caring for me. Her staff mirrors her example and they too are a pleasure to know. I can't stop sharing how much I ENJOYED this Doctor appointment.....a FIRST EVER!! Chris
April 20, 2016Christopha O.Verified patient
Dr. Wang spent time to cover all my issues and was very thorough. My follow-up appointment was the same. There was very little wait time both visits.
April 11, 2016Anna C.Verified patient
My impression from my latest as well as earlier office visits is that Dr. Wang and her courteous, professional staff work diligently as a team in their quest to derive the best patient outcomes. Within a few minutes of my arrival, I was escorted to a exam room where I was soon joined by Dr. Wang. She and a staff member capably attended to my needs, diagnosing the issues, explaining the various treatment options, and then treating the identified problems. I left her office contented that I got the proper treatment and am on the right path to maintaining a healthy life.

February 29, 2016Brenda C.Verified patient
Appointment in January 2016.
The building is easy to find, and just as easy to navigate.
Wait time: <10 minutes. I don't think that's happened to me at any doctor's office. Ever.
Time waiting in exam room: <5 minutes. Probably <3 minutes. My usual wait time in offices is upward of 10 minutes - once waited for an hour. Very pleased.
Ambiance: very clean, warmed for the cold weather, professional, almost spa-like, cozy. It wasn't scary and the light wasn't overly green or overly yellow. The medical building itself is well-designed. Just an unfortunate industrial view out the windows ;)
Wonderful front desk staff: conversational, business-communicative, efficient, friendly. A lot of front desk staff I've been put up against are ... exactly that - something to be put up against. Definitely not the case here.
Wonderful nurse: thorough, answered questions such that I wasn't made to feel like an idiot, not awkward. The nurse I had was great. She wasn't at all stoic or impatient or haughty; rather, she was friendly and smiling, answered my naive questions, and made me feel comfortable before seeing the doctor.
Excellent doctor: knowledgeable, patient, friendly, thorough, energetic, eager to help, easy-going. Literally fluttered in. I had about 5 different questions to ask, and Dr. Wang answered each one thoroughly. She didn't try to push me into taking tests or getting prescriptions, though options were available. Ridiculously easy to be around, didn't make the room feel sterile and uncomfortable. Asked if I had questions at least three times.
Total time: <30 minutes.
