I had a great experience with my visit. Everyone was friendly, positive, and helpful! I was seen in a timely manner and everything about it was really easy. Would definitely recommend
Verified patient
Very rude demeanor. Zoc Doc specifies him as a “spine specialist,” when in reality, he is a “spine surgeon.” His staff saw my intake forms and did not refer me to the correct physician in their group. So I wasted a day of PTO and I also had to endure his extremely unpleasant attitude. Would not recommend.
Good bedside manner and was very kind. Only problem was they were running behind schedule and it was just over two hours before I was seen.
Great doctor and very honest ! Highly recommend.
Verified patient
I did not get the answer on why i have this pain for so long. I am a non surgical case and like most patients without clarification on the deep reasons of my issue i was referred to physical therapist
Very clean and quiet office. I was seen within 10 minutes after X- ray was done. Dr Wang and his associate evaluated my conditions of complaint and explained thoroughly. Staffs were also very friendly and efficient.
Verified patient
Dr Wang and his team and staff were absolutely amazing! Everyone was so kind and professional. I had a bad fall two weeks prior and the pain was getting worse. They immediately took X-rays to make sure I did not break anything and based on my symptoms Dr Wang prescribed a physical therapy treatment to heal my body and work my way back to start running again, which is something I love to do! Thank you Dr Jeffrey Wang!
Verified patient
Horrible experiences. They call to see if I can go early, I told them no because I followed their schedule and I could go later but no early. They call me not stopping the day of my appointment, I have to stepped out of meeting to answer so they can to cancel or to reschedule due to emergency.
