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.

Thank you, doctor Tang!
Some five years after cancer surgery, extensive radiation treatments, and grafting, my wife’s large, unpleasant wound had not healed…after five years! Dr. Tang was recommended. Following 18 months’ intensive care under Dr. Tang, the large wound is now filled in with new tissue and covered with new skin, both natural and grown by my wife’s own body. Throughout our period of care under Dr. Tang, he was always honest, informative, and cautiously encouraging…and always very pleasant, patient and supportive. The improvement in our quality of life under Dr. Tang’s expert care is almost immeasurable. My wife and I thank him profusely and recommend him without reservation.

Dr. Tang performed a very complicated and high-risk surgery on my husband after complications following a triple bypass. He saved my husband's life. During his extensive stay in ICU Dr. Tang was there at least once a day, more often twice a day, checking on him. He was compassionate, professional, and not only with my husband, by with myself and our daughter as well. He spent as much time as we needed to answer questions, he explained a very complicated procedure so that we could understand it, and he cared as much about my health and well-being as my husband's.

Simply the best
Dr. Tang is the ABSOLUTE BEST wound doctor. He takes his time with me with each and every visit.He makes sure that if I have any questions, he has the answer or will find it. Has the most up to date information on wounds. He is someone that goes a 1,000 miles beyond expectations. Would recommend him a million times over.

Dr Tang and his staff are amazing. Not only were they thorough with the procedure my son was going to have, but they were also thorough with the after care. Their bedside manners are excellent and make you feel at ease with everything. I would recommend them to anyone.
