    Dr Wang is clearly an experienced and exacting surgeon. She coached a Resident through the procedure giving explicit direction and corrections. I felt I was in two sets of professional hands with her in charge.

    Dr Wang was careful to listen to my description of my symptoms, noting the length of time of my symptoms and previous attempts to relieve them. She didn't rush to any conclusions but took her time. Her treatment felt personal.

    Very rude from the start. Didn't act like she cared at all about my situation. Seemed to care more about her ego and controlling the conversation than listening to me and showing any kind of compassion. She may be a great doctor, but her bedside manner sucks and that's just as important to me. For that reason I have no interest in seeing her again. It's possible she was just having a bad day, but that shouldn't be an excuse especially in her line of work.
