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.

Very knowledgable and compassionate person ever.

Dr Chang Tung was my surgeon when a very large blood clot was found in my leg. He was very reassuring of the procedure and put me at ease immediately with his extensive knowledge and sense of humor. He even came back to the hospital at midnight when I was in extreme pain and ordered a CT scan. He discovered I had pancreatitis and ordered meds to relieve my pain. I owe him a debt of gratitude.
