5 out of 5 stars

Dr. Whang, is very pleasant. He also wanted to make sure I was 100 percent before leaving the hospital. If I had to do it all again I would definitely request Dr. Whang and his team.

My experience with Dr. Whang has been more than I hoped for. He was not only professional but was attentive to my concerns and made me feel comfortable. I would recommend him.
