I had a very positive experience with Dr. Wang. I had a lot of wax lodged deep in my left ear and Dr. Wang was able to get all of it out and her compassionate, down-to-earth bedside manner made an uncomfortable procedure very manageable. She wound up cleaning out both of my ears and now they feel great. I would recommend her.

Great
Verified patient
It was my first visit. Staff was respectful and efficient Office was very clean. Dr.W seemed a bit nervous, but developed a plan of action. Will need to see her a few more times to make an informed review.
I liked that she was easy to talk to. She was also very considerate anytime I felt pain or discomfort. Some doctors don't really care. She was also very honest which I appreciated because some doctors just want you to get treated right away even if it's not urgent.
Verified patient
It gave a peace of mind that I dont have ear infection. It was relief. She is very concise, although it was a short visit and consult but for me it is worth my visit.
Verified patient
I have been seeing Dr Wang for all my ENT needs for the past 10+ years and highly recommend her. She’s clear and informative, takes care of my needs, answers all my questions and has a great manner about her.
Verified patient
After the visit I was waiting for an hour to pay. I specify that probably have a temperature and a pressure but she didn't measure it. I was really disappointed as after two weeks my ear still hurts.
Verified patient
Dr. Wang seemed like an excellent doctor and was very attententive to my concerns, however the wait time was extremely long and when I checked the sign in sheet I saw I was booked for the same time and same doctor as another patient. I arrived 20 minutes before my appointment to fill out paper and he had arrived after me and they still called him back first. I was in a rush that day and ended up waiting over an hour and only getting 20 minutes to try and explain everything to the doctor because I had to leave. I think had I had a signifcant amount of time with the doctor it wouldve made up for the delay but I did not. Still she was very nice and understanding.
Office was nice and so was staff. Dr. Wang was nice and listened to the concerns I brought to her in regards for my appointment.
I really appreciated Dr. Wang's questions to help identify my health issues and her knowledgeable suggestions for addressing them. She is very easy to talk to and knows her stuff.
Verified patient
She is amazing and one of the best in her field!
very professional
Verified patient
Dr. Wang is lovely. Very attentive, and personable. She is also clearly very smart and knows what she's doing. She makes you feel comfortable and taken care of. Doesn't rush you. Talks through your options. I liked her so much that I asked her if she could be my GP. She said no, but she can be my ENT GP and referred me to a general internist that she thought was a good fit. I highly recommend Dr. Wang.
Verified patient
The office changed the appointment location from Culver City to Santa Monica without asking me first. It wasn't a big deal for me, but it may not be OK for everyone. Dr. Wang herself was great. She answered my questions and provided options.
Verified patient
She rocks! Follow up was spectacular!
Verified patient
I saw Dr. Wang for the first time recently. She was absolutely great and I have no complaints about her. I do want to note, however, that it took and hour and a half for me to see her. The receptionist said they have been having problems with Zoc Doc and they apparently had no record of my appointment being booked. I contacted Zoc Doc and they hinted that Dr. Wang's office is not doing their part on their end to confirm the appointments. I ended up paying $14 for parking in the building lot-- street parking is hard to find. I do recommend seeing Dr. Wang. I just recommend calling her office to confirm your appointment.
Verified patient
dr wang fixed the problem i had with my ear very quickly! she referred me for a hearing test and a follow up appointment! very helpful!
Verified patient
Dr Wang was very nice, friendly and courteous in a very Professional manner. She listened carefully as I described the reason for my visit, then explained to me what could be the cause, and the options of diagnosis. She examined me using one of the options, then carefully explained to me what might have happened, based on her examination and what I'd told her. She prescribed some medication and also recommended a follow up Test with another Doctor, as a necessary precaution. She even asked me if I had any questions for her, and when I mentioned an article that I'd read on the Internet about that condition, she able to explain its different types and stages and where mine was. I was very satisfied and impressed by her knowledge, patience and professionalism.
Verified patient
She has a lot of knowledge and took time to answer all of my questions. She understood my concerns and was very respectful. If she is going to get back to you w/ any results (blood, culture, etc.) make sure to ask that she contacts you even if the results are normal instead of only if something is wrong.
The doctor was very good and professional. NO questions. Office woman was very nice. I was coming far from LA and made a mistake and went to LA 20th street. They said doctor still can see me even I was hour late. I just was sad that since office person on the phone told me that they do not varidate parking, I parked on the street. I did not see the sign carefully because I was running out of time, but I got ticket... Then office woman offered validate the parking....
She was professional, extremely thorough and her follow up showed she's really invested in quality care and in her patients. Great experience overall.
Dr Wang was super helpful, caring, and informative during my visit. I had to endure a somewhat invasive procedure and her work was nothing short of a quick and painless. The only downside was having to pay for parking!
dr. wang was very friendly and my consultation was quick and to the point. she took a look in my nose, told me some options i had to get it fixed, and went over each of them with me. very satisfied!
Verified patient

A very thorough visit, Dr. Dorothy clearly took the time to listen to my condition and to recommend alternatives I could choose from. I highly recommend Dr. Dorothy Wang!
Verified patient
D. Wang is friendly and she took the time to answer my questions and also explain to me my options. Very good doctor. Thank you D. Wang
Verified patient
The office is good at getting you in if you have a sudden medical need to see the doctor (sudden ear ache), but she doesn't really have time to answer all your questions. She fixed my ear issue quickly, but rushed out without addressing other concerns I had, so I felt the need to make a second appointment to answer all my questions; but then I didn't have the money for a second co-payment or another day off from work, so I think I'll just wait until all my other concerns become an emergency, or I can find a doctor who works on weekends.
Dr. Wang was very professional and explained to us in detail all our options. She was caring and assured us if we needed anything further to feel free to contact her.
She was good and thorough,
Very impressed!!
Dr. Wang is a wonderful doctor and am very happy to have found a new Dr. at the last minute and be seen the next day is amazing.
