Presents as very knowledgeable and has always answered my questions with patience, even though I know I've asked some twice, forgetting his answer.
When performing procedures in office he is decisive and efficient in motion, which offers great comfort to me in his ability.

HDr. Hwang is top notch!! Great at communication and professionalism.
Only critique is he is fast talker and should provide written after care instructions and recommendations for older folks.

I’ve been seeing the doctor for two years now. I couldn’t be happier. He is so professional and thorough explaining everything to me and what I’m going through. All the advice he has given me has been right on imperfect for my treatments one thing I really love about. Their operation is they always make sure that they communicate with my other doctors so everyone is up-to-date on my treatment. I’ve been to a member of retina specialist in Dr. Hwang is the best doctor I’ve seen and I will continue to see. The staff is extremely friendly.
