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.

The doctor didn't talk to me. Instead the nurse talked to me on the phone for 5 min saying your reports are normal. NExt visit after 6 months. I scheduled the appointment with the doctor not the nurse. The telephone from the nurse also came after 75 min of the scheduled time. Seems like I was taken for granted. Waste of time and money.

Horrible
If you care about your health and those of the ones you love, find a better doctor. His office tried to scam me out of $400 on a test my insurance was in network for and had a $40 co pay. He neglected to properly pay attention to important paperwork which had critical implications. I’m now an orphan.

Dr. Wang is an excellent doctor
I went for pain in my head which I was told it was fluid. Dr. Wang reviewed and it was not fluid and he prescribed Vitamin B2 and Magnesium Oxide and I have not had another headache. What a miracle.

He is unprofessional. Always comes late to the appointment. One time, he came in like 45 minutes after my scheduled appointment. This is unacceptable. He also gave me a medicine that contained caffeine in it but I have stated so many times that I cannot have that. Would not recommend anyone to go to him!

Dr. Wang is the most practical and patient-centered neurologist I ever come across in my eighth year in healthcare. He makes patients feel at ease discussing their issues. He is keen to quickly reaching the right diagnosis. I was most intrigued by Dr. Wang approach to treatment. His patient-centered treatment approach not only proven effective, but he chooses what for each patient. What can say here is that experience matters and that God forbid you ever need a neurologist in Atlanta Area, I highly recommend Dr. Dong Wang.

Appointment was at 3. He did not come in to see me until I came back out of and asked for him 2x. He finally came in at 4:10. Only to again, attempt to prescribe me meds and tell me there isn’t any treatment he can offer me! He is a DRUG DEALER and I find him to be a person that stereotypes his patients. I do not believe he cared for my well being as a black, lesbian female. As he so casually called me SIR time and time again. Having had my chart and paperwork for over 2 months. He’s a joke! And I plan to report him to the board of health!

I had a very very good experience with Dr Wang. I went to him with some very rare symptoms, which turned out to be Guillain Barre syndrome. He was very thorough in checking for all my symptoms. He then sent me to Gwinnett Medical immediately with a typed up sheet, for the hospital to give me the tests I needed for diagnosis. Had I gone straight to the ER I think it would have taken much much longer to diagnose my illness. I am very grateful to dr. Wang Ingrid Shell

His entire staff are wonderful friendly and helpful. First I went to another Doctor Who took an MRI and said that there was nothing wrong with my brain. Then I found out about Dr. Wang and went to him and he did not want to see a copy of the MRI he wanted to see the actual MRI so I went to the other doctor and got it and took it back to Dr. Wang. He put it in his computer and immediately saw what was wrong near the outside parts of my brain there were a little things that shouldn’t be there. He showed me an even I could see what was wrong. He put me on an anti-seizure medication and that change my life I could then drive a car and go anywhere I felt like going, and not have to worry about having a seizure. I’m so thankful that this medication is working and I can go on with my life !!!

I had read such high reviews and decided to make an appointment with this physician. After 3 visits, I felt that he was unprepared and more interested in medicating my symptoms rather that researching the root cause of my disorder. In addition, his office has yet to respond to my pharmacy in regards to transferring my medication to mail delivery. This medication if stopped abruptly can cause very bad withdrawals including seizures. What doctor would be willing to put any patient through that. I have since contacted my primary care physician who has extended this prescription. We are seeing a neurologist on Monday at Emory who specializes in Chiari Malformation, what Dr. Wang failed to see as he was not prepared at any visit with my MRI’s because he failed to download them from the website. I am the patient not his messenger. In the future, I will avoid medical professions that mimic this behavior. I was paying him, not the other way around. Very disappointed in this practice

Dr. Wang is very knowledgeable and precise. After my serious car accident and two separate physicians recommended by my attorney I was still experiencing extreme headaches. Lucky and a family friend told me about Dr. Wang, although his office was almost two hours away I had no choice because I was in pain. Dr. Wang's diagnosis and treatment was right on, after a few visits I'm headache free..... the office is very friendly, I Ed Freeney highly recommend this office!!!

I saw Dr W for vertigo. After listening to my history of illness, and asking extensive questions regarding my issues and symptoms, he immediately had answers for me and diagnosed me based on clinical exam. He followed through by sending me for the appropriate diagnostic testing which ruled out serious concerns for carotid artery problems, and confirmed his initial diagnosis of BPPV. He is patient, respectful and a very competent informative physician.

Dr. Wang has the bedside manner of dead fish. He once shoo'd me from his office as I plead for him to answer my Q's. He never told me the findings of one particular test; So I asked for the printout results, which I had to prompt him to go over. I pointed out that it showed risk for a condition I knew nothing about, but he didn't even remotely or adequately explain the results. And as an aside, how is it 2018 and neurologists still know nothing about fibromyalgia (a neurological condition)!?

I'm writing a review on the behalf of my client Mrs. Sandra Fears. Before coming to Dr. Wang her seizures was up to about 10 or more a day. Since Dr. Wang be her Doctor its down to zero a day. When told to her his office was moving Mrs. Fears said that he's been a tremendous help in her life, that she will go to the moon to get to his office for her visits. I just want Dr. Wang to know that Mrs. Fears says he is a lifesaver to her. On her behalf l give him five stars great service.

Strange, one day I went to my appt, then scheduled a 3month follow up.....2wks later, his Riverdale office was closed. Called the Duluth office and was told they had no info about the sudden closing. I can't believe this unprofessional & unethical practice. No notice, no referral, no consideration, just total disregard. I guess I will find a new neurologist-would've been nice to have got a referral or at the very least been notified. UNREAL! Sincerely, Disappointed patient
