Dr. Thomas Kang, MD

I consented to allow Dr. Kang to do a Myringotomy on my left ear drum which he said would heal in 3-4 days and I would know within a weel if the procedure showed results. Unfortunately the hole he created did not heal as he indicated and the pressure in my ear had become even worse. After one week I went back to see him, hoping to get an explanation of why the eardrum had not fully healed and why the pressure was now worse. He became somewhat defensive and stated he didn't know. I reminded him that my decision to consent to the procedure was based on the expectations he set. He then said he felt I was insulting him by my questions. I asked him to not be so sensitive. He then suggested I let him put a piece of paper on the hole to see what it would be like when the hole did finnaly heal. Somewhat shocked by the idea, I reluctently agreed. He struggeled to get it done and I finally had to say STOP! I should have checked other reviews first! WHAT AN AWFUL EXPERIENCE!!!

Does not listen to patients whatsoever and then charges them exuberant prices for 0 help. No assistance. Avoid him and this practice as if it were the plague.

I have been seeing Dr. Kang for about 10 years, mainly for ear wax buildup that started when an incompetent physician told me the discomfort in my left ear was caused by allergies, even though I told her twice that I've never had allergies. When I finally got her to give me a referral to Dr. Kang many months later after it started affecting my hearing, Dr. Kang was able to diagnose it as an ear fungus and cleaned it out. Since then, I've been seeing him for ear wax buildup and fungus. He can be moody and direct, but he can also be compassionate.

About two months ago I was visiting my sister in Tucson and she told me that for the last several months she had been having ringing in her left ear and episodes of vertigo. She had seen Dr.Kang who had done some tests and told her he could not find any evidence of pathology.He dismissed her. Since I am a neurologist I immediately was able to localized the pathology to the left eighth cranial nerve. Dr. Kang should've been able to do this as well . I immediately ordered an MRI of the posterior fossa and the internal auditory canal with and without contrast. This showed a very large intracranial tumor ( meningioma). Which was resected recently at the Mayo clinic in Phoenix. My sister is recovering. For this reason I could not recommend Dr. Kahn for any thorough ENT evaluation. He sent my sister home to die. The neurosurgeon the Mayo clinic said that she would be dead in a year.

In the first 5 minutes, he did not let me get a word in. He berated me for believing I had a specific problem. He repetitively told me that no ENT doctor had diagnosed me with the problem I'd been told I had. Just as I was about to walk out, he finally shut up. He did remove the drains from my ears, installed by a now retired ENT. I'll never go back, even though the Office staff was great.

Not a nice doctor, at all, in my opinion.

I have been to.many ENT doctors over the last 10 years. Allergist also. Dr. Lang was the only one thar listened to me. I had 2 prof surgeries. I was diagnosed with vasomotor rhinitis. I was told they could find nothing wrong with my sinuses. I can't begin to tell you how bad I felt! Dr Lang c learned blocked sinuses to.My eyes. He also cleaned out debris that was not removed from my last surgery. It has only been a week and 3 days since surgery. I may feel connected but I feel 100% better than I did before surgery when my eyes swelled shut from infection, lack of energy was so bad all I wanted to do is sleep. Thank you Dr. Lang for giving my life back!

As the mother of a new 19 year old NEW patient, I always want to be by her side. We were referred by the U of Arizona as my daughter is a student with their Health Insurance Plan. Dr Kang and the entire staff were a pleasure to deal with. Having moved from Wisconsin 16 month ago, for the first time we had to rely on a referral. This appointment couldn’t have been better. Very thorough and explained the next steps. We are very pleased after this first appointment and look forward to a healthier future.

The staff at Sonoran ENT is very efficient and professional. Dr Thomas Kang spent approx 8 mins with me on my first visit for a relatively complex condition. He provided no substantive answers but said he should do another test the next time. The next time, he spent less than 3 mins listending to my assessment of my condition, then had his asst schedule another test. I will find another ENT. Tori in Tucson, AZ

Dr. Kang is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate when it comes to his patients. I had three procedures done at once, which made for a pretty hard recovery, but Dr. Kang was so patient and understanding when it came to pain levels and comfort. I never once felt rushed through our appointments or left confused or with questions. I highly recommend Dr. Kang!

Don’t waste your time. Find another ENT.

A rare type of tumor my left nostril had to be removed. Dr. Kang was recommended by my primary physician, and I was very pleased with him as my ENT and surgeon. He has appropriate professional distance, but a calm approach to patients, which alleviated my worries. He's double boarded in ENT and plastic/reconstructive surgery and while the tumor had not penetrated enough to require plastic surgery, having an ENT who is double boarded made me more confident.

Dr. Kang surgically corrected my deviated septum. I thought the office was more money oriented than patient oriented. They overcharged me for the surgery and I had to wait three months to get a check from them, even though they demand payment in advance. The surgery still left a small lump on my septum, although he said he did the best that he could. The office staff are friendly and Dr. Kang does listen well but I would not recommend him.

Dr. Kang is very professional. He listens and is very responsive to suggestions. I had a lot of confidence in him and his abilities. He has great bedside manner and treated my surgery with great professionalism. I would definitely recommend him to others.

I have had surgery with Dr. Kang to make it easier for me to use my CPAP, and it was extremely successful. I have also been to him for ear infections and throat infections, and am currently undergoing allergy control therapy . Everyone within the practice is of the highest professional caliber, while at the same time being friendly and accommodating....couldn't be happier!

Dr. Kang corrected my deviated septum. I am now breathing much easier and am very pleased with the results. He also educated me on non surgical options and gave me realistic expectations for the results. I never felt like he was pushing the surgery. I am happy with my experience and would recommend him if you are considering this procedure.

I seen Dr. Kang 2 times I had a cas scan and showed my left check was full of mucus, it causes fullness to my ears, can not wear sunglasses as check is so full. M 2 nd visit he told me to get a hearing test and a hearing aid would help my fullness! Dr. Kang did nothing to help me get rid of the mucus in my check! I am now doing Actupuncture on my sinus which is helping getting mucus out, but a very slow process.

Dr. Kang is terrific. He worked on my nose, where I had a skin cancer, and did a great job. I strongly him. Charlie R

Dr. Kang has performed plastic surgery on my nose twice for skin cancer and i couldn't be happier. He has amazing bedside manner and truly cares about the end result.

Dr. Kang was extremely thorough when helping diagnosis problem for re-occurring parotitis. He called and explained results. They always have a Dr. on call and get back to you ASAP if you need immediate attention. Cant ask for better medical attention. Thank you Dr. Kang!
