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.

Sensational
Had a hiatel hernia which wound up being a double hernia. Dr Lung took care of the problems. Not only did he check up on me a few times while in the hospital, he also called me at home to check up on me and then did the unthinkable. Gave me his cel number in case i had any problems or questions. Unheard of in todays world. Great bedside manner. Also drew my problem on a board in the hospital room and explained the procedure to my and my family. Outstanding work Dr Lung! 5 stars plus

Dr. Lung performed a partial lung removal, lobectomy, for me in July 2021. It was a complete success. I've never before met such a kind and caring doctor willing to go above and beyond. He is aided by an equally caring and responsive nurse, Kim. I would HIGHLY recommend this doctor.

Dr. Lung and his team performed a lung biopsy on me. They suggested an anesthesia methodology which allowed me to leave the same day and recover much more quickly. I had an amazing team, led by Dr. Lung, and I recommend him highly. I would go back to him without hesitation if I needed any other pulmonary surgery.
