“The doctor was fine. He was very quick and smooth. It was good. The doctor said he would give a referral to another doctor, but he did not, or the front desk did not have the information of the referral either. The doctor was unreachable. I asked for the X-ray report, but the front desk said I have to make an online request for that. It made no sense why I had to do that when I was present. Normally, I receive all my reports right at the front desk at other offices. Overall i would give3.5 stars. ”

Was nice and patient, done additional testing to get to the bottom of the problem, explained the situation in detail, explained the treatment decision tradeoff .
Verified patient
The assistants and nurses at this location are not very welcoming or friendly. They don't listen. The doctor as well is fast and not clear - does not show interest in my problem - does not demonstrate concern and care. Very cold people in general. I will have to find another doctor for a second opinion.
Great experience overall, from the reception to the medical assistant and doctor. The appointment started on time and everything well well.
Verified patient
When I arrived for my appointment, I was taken immediately and we went over my chart. Then I was whisked away for some x-rays. After that, Dr. Chuang came in and ran a battery of tests with me. He was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable and drew out the layout of my injury and explained everything in detail. Would highly recommend him if you have any ailments!

Saw Dr Chuang for epicondylitis and he and the entire practice are superb. The staff took an X-ray to ensure no bone or other hidden damage, and Dr explained the genesis of the condition as well as reviewed every treatment option and his opinion on their effectiveness, debunking myths along the way. What a difference between such a specialist vs my PCP
Even though the reception could not find my appointment on line she accepted me and arranged it immediately Great job. The doctor was very professional and helpful. He identified the problem right away and suggested a solution that worked immediately getting rid of the pain. Doctor chuang suggested a great plan for the treatment and a follow up. I’m very impressed. Thank you
Verified patient
Dr. Chuang was thorough and attentive. He took the time to explain everything in detail, ensuring I fully understood my situation and options. The office was exceptionally clean, and I appreciated being able to get an X-ray done during the same appointment, which made the process efficient and seamless. I felt well cared for and would absolutely return.
Verified patient
Doctor Chuang is extremely nice & he has explained everything on the x-Ray of my hands. He gave me a cortisone shot in my left hand which should help with the pain. I highly recommend Dr. Chuang.
Verified patient
I had a great experience with Dr. Chuang. The office was clean, and the staff was friendly and professional. I arrived 15 minutes early and was seen a little before my scheduled appointment. The entire visit, including X-rays & early arrival took only 45 minutes. Dr. Chuang was fantastic - efficient, knowledgeable, and to the point. He was also very relatable which made explaining my issue easier because he understood the workouts I do. Highly recommend! I’ll be back if needed.
