    Angela is very skilled and knowledgeable about the hand. I had some other medical issues preventing the surgery I should have had, but she understood and was straightforward and honest about what to expect for recovery. I appreciated and respected her knowledge and highly recommend her care.

    I didn't have too many questions by the time I got my pre-surgery consult. But the few questions I had, Dr. Wang gave quick and proficient responses with exactly what I needed to hear.

    I felt I was a complete inconvenience for this Dr to see me. she truly did not listen to me and my request for the care I was hoping to receive. when I tried to explain while I was sent to see her and she cut me off before I could finish my sentence.
