Dr. Kang’s tech was excellent, my visit with him was brief but inclusive and talking to his scheduling assistant was also very very satisfying.

I would recommend patients ask about each test and its function/purpose. Dr. Kang also should explain the purpose and results from each technical tests as well. He seemed to be in a hurry and needed to spend more time explaining/educating, especially for a first time consumer. Brad B.
