Dr Pang and staff are wonderful. I get very anxious whenever I change doctors due to my anxiety levels. My first visit I was greeted by front desk staff, they are extremely nice and caring, made me feel very comfortable. The nursing staff, as well, made me feel very comfortable and of course, when I met Dr Pang, immediately I felt comfortable and in a no judgment zone. Talking with Dr. Pang, after leaving, I felt like I had just caught up with an old friend! With my high levels of anxiety and specifically with doctors and comfort levels, I do have to say that I don’t leave many reviews, but I had to leave one here! Definitely a 10 out of 10 place to go if you have those anxieties, panic disorders, or just a general change of doctor, because you will feel right at home with everyone’s kindness. 🤍
The kindest and easiest doctor ever! I feel heard and so at ease!
Dr. Pang is really excellent! He is a great communicator!!!!
Love Dr. Pang! His experience and knowledge are invaluable and he sincerely cares about my wellbeing! You cannot teach someone to care.It’s a Gift.
Dr Pang could be better at communicating. He isn’t very talkative but very nice and has a kind and gentle nature. I had to ask most of the questions in order to get answers. I do like him.
Dr. Pang listens to you and makes you feel comfortable discussing your feelings and experiences.
You called me to come immediately instead of coming at 1:30. I got there in about 15 minutes. Then I was told to be seated. I finally asked if they had forgotten me. I ended up waiting about 40 minutes.
He has the greatest personality. He handles the patients patiently.
Dr. Pang has been a huge help to me over the 10+ years I have been going to his office.
Very professional and thoughtful
