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.

complete mis-diagnosis; I was unstable and she said I had "vertigo," gave me some exercises, and scheduled follow-up in a few months. I then went back to my Primary Care doctor, who ordered an emergency spinal scan, which showed severe "spinal stenosis." I had an emergency operation at New England Baptist Hospital, which saved me from paralysis, and immediately cured my instability. I never heard from Dr. Wang again.

1/2 star is best for this doctor!!! Wang comes in starts riddling off what our first visit was about. I see she isn't letting me speak. I tell her I have more symptoms thats led me to today and when she is ready to listen I can tell her. She tells me she only has 20 min appointment with me its not enough time.Office staff should have booked longer appointment. Wang wanted to focus on 1 of my symptoms when I had a multitude of them. She says do you want me to treat the twitching. At that point I walked out the room to front desk asked for person in charge of the doctors the office manager comes out. She too blames the office staff of course so the doctor looks good. Office manager wanted me to see Wang again after I just got into an argument with this woman. I said no and demanded another doctor. Was 20mins enough for the appointment? Yes if Wang let me speak. Office staff had better bedside manner. Office manager could've been better. New doc i saw A+ ...Advocate for yourself.

Dr. Wang is one of the most caring, patient, thorough doctors I've ever seen. She really listens, and always believes me when I tell her about my symptoms. Sometimes you have to wait a bit for her appointments, but that's because she spends as much time with each patient as they need. She diagnosed me with something that had been misdiagnosed by several other neurologists for 20 years. And now we have a treatment plan that is finally helping me feel better. I am so thankful to be in her care.
