Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Poor listener. Constantly interrupts. Rude.
Find a doctor who will listen to you/your child and care because it's not Dr. Dang. 1. Both of my children found her rude and felt worse after appointments instead of better. 2. She will not listen. She will talk over you frequently. 3. She will talk at you, not with you. She has a set of canned lectures she dispenses. 4. She'll ask a question, but interrupt you after 4 words to start another canned lecture. 5. She has a razor-thin veneer of niceness, but she is not nice, nor kind. 6. She will say thinly veiled insults to you and your child. 7. When I calmly told her the interruptions felt dehumanizing, instead of a healthy discussion to deepen the therapeutic relationship, her ego was bruised, and she punished my child by refusing to start the new meds she had planned and discussed with us twice. 8. She tried to gaslight me, telling me she never planned to start a new med. This was recorded. I know the truth. 9. She told my anorexic child that sleep helps weight loss.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Dang?
I would NEVER recommend her. She prescribes addictive, questionable drugs WITHOUT asking for ANY blood work, EKG, medical testing of any kind. She doesn't care about the patient or parents. She never answers emails but has her office staff deal with that along with answering calls. She is all about money and is quite incompetent! GO TO A DOCTOR THAT CARES!
