She listened to my concerns and gave me my options. Explained the options and let me decide. which option best met my needs.
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.
Dr. Wang was professional and a good listener.

Dr Wang is amazing
Dr. Wang doesn't have the best bedside manner. This is the second time I have seen her for the same issue. hand. She removed a cyst and seemed annoyed to do it then, very put off for having to waste her time on this small procedure. It came back and she seemed more annoyed to have to do it again. I have decided to find a different clinic outside if the U to have the procedure done.
I traveled from out of state 12 hours RT. In two visits Because I have Confidence in Dr Wangs abilities

Very good to talk to, gave great explainations and gave me a very good feeling of knowledge and capabilities.
Dr Wang lives up to her reputation as a first class hand surgeon. We felt from the very start we were in very good hands and that the outcome for the thumb surgery would be excellent. We are very appreciative she takes her work as seriously as she does and that patients have the chance to get back the use of their hand after an injury.
Dr Wang is very competent and caring.

Dr Wang has treated me for 3 different issues over several years. I have tremendous confidence in her.
