I am finally motivated because the pain is lowering. I like the time that he spends with me and that he listens
I had to cancel because my husband had another Dr. Appointment so I have reschedule for the end if the month
Verified patient
Really like the doctors staff and the doctor. Results so far are very encouraging.
first visit was pretty standard for visit. fact finding and some test.
This doctor sent me home to go into full withdrawal after seven years of pain management via methadone under another docs care who terminated me last month, when he could have written one prescription with a tapering schedule, which is all I requested. When I said respectfully that he had not been very helpful he immediately copped an attitude and he said he didn't have to give me the virtually useless prescription for neurontin to help with withdrawal symptoms that he was writing. He then referred me to an inpatient drug treatment facility like I was a junkie. He lacked empathy and compassion and was only interested in protecting himself and his licensure.
Tried to switch patient to lyrica and remove pain killers. This client had multiple failed back surgery's with scoliosis age 65.

Very nice and understanding staff. The doctor was very thorough, and took his time. I never felt rushed or like his mind was engaged anywhere but with me. Highly recommend!
I love zoc doc I've used it so much and have had wonderful experiences and found great doctors but this one is not one of them the staff was not to friendly at all and the doctor did not have great bedside manner I was highly dissatisfied
Verified patient
I always look forward to my visits. Patients are treated with dignity and respect. The office personnel is always courteous and professional. Extremely nice facility. In addition, Dr. Kang has relieved all of my pain. I have never been so happy! He has given me my life back!!!
Very proffessional covered alot of info
It was fine
Not only is the office personnel extremely competent, Dr. Kang is exactly what a patient in pain needs. He is extremely compassionate and takes his time with all patients. After my procedure I ws 80-90% relieved of pain. I call him a God among men.
Except for parking, it was very good.
It was rather routine, but was thorough.
The staff was great, very friendly and courteous. But that was where the courteousness stopped. Dr. Kang immediately talked about doing a steroid injection as though he was reading from a script and didn't bother to look me in the eye throughout said script. He lost interest in me when I vocalized my hesitation with trying more injections. I've had 4 in the last 3 months with my last pm Dr. in Dallas and was very interested in exploring my options w/a neurostimulator implant ( I've had 2 major back surgeries in the last 2 yrs and currently have 4 large bulging discs and a misplaced rod from my last fusion). He had no interest in helping me with my current meds so I will be making a long, painful trip to my former and more compassionate doctor. He may help some, but not me, and I would NEVER recommend him.
