He offered nothing. No explanation, just a bunch of papers for me to read and figure out. He seemed bored and uninspired. I was able to get more information online. It was a waste of time.
Great experience.

I went to see Dr. Wang for my foot problem that's been bothering me for months. He took a couple of Xrays and knew right away what the problem was. I appreciated how he took the time to discuss with me what the problem was and what my options were. Everyone was extremely nice.
I saw Dr. Wang after I had a motorcycle accident and hurt my leg. Thankfully, nothing was broken, but I've had constant pain since then. I'm not insured and Dr. Wang was willing to work with me to minimize the amount of money I had to spend. Very satisfied so far!
I've seen Dr. Wang a couple times for my ankle, which I hurt playing racquetball. He diagnosed me with a tear in a tendon. I'm trying to hold off surgery, but if it doesn't get better, I might have to get it repaired. Dr. Wang was really good at explaining the situation to me. I have complete confidence in him
I saw Dr. Wang for my broken ankle. Thankfully, it doesn't need surgery. He was extremely nice and took time to help me understand why I didn't need surgery. His bedside manner is terrific. I'd recomend him to anybody.
Dr. Wang is really great and knowledgable. I've seen him a couple of times for different things and both times he's been wonderful. I might need surgery for one of the problems, but he's not quick to jump into surgery unless it's absolutely needed. Very positive experience!
