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.

NP Wang "Dr. Wang" is manipulative and money hungry, she wanted me to order more blood work despite not knowing if my insurance would cover it. She seems to be new at this as most of the things she said were said in an unsteady tone. I now request to see Dr. Gao only because Dr. Gao actually cares about her patients. She was very diligent when I came to see her. She was more knowledgeable and confident. I have been Dr. Gao's patient since she was at the other location on 41st Road. However, they need to get rid of the horrible nurse practitioner. She gives a bad rep for the office.

I will not recommended visiting a doctor who works for money instead of patient care. Money is her priority. Period. In addition, staff speak limited English and doctor have heavy accent that make it hard to interact.

Order many unnecessary blood works and have you come back to learn that everything is okay, which only took 3 minutes of doctor's time, so that they could charge more $$$. This office is more concern about more making money than taking care of the patient. Seems like a standard nowadays among doctors in Flushing. Other ethically doctors would just call you with the results instead of have you pay a visit. Does not recommend!!!

I would have rated 3 stars but who would just comment "recently changed their whole staff" with a 5 * rating? Especially when the "rude staffs" comments were within the same month. Office just fired the whole staff within the month? I don't think so because I went on early Aug. Pls note, on another site there is another 5 star rating that also mentioned "changed out their entire staff" on July 31. Why people keep emphasizing that the whole staffs have been changed?

Seems competent however I just get a feeling that resents her staffers. Like “why do I have to pay you, I am the doctor!” Just get a sense that everything is about her.

Both my husband and I have her as our primary care doctor. Everything was ok, but the past 3 months have been chaotic. Her reception asked that we need to visit the doctor every 3 months in order to get refill for the same medication that he has been taking for over 10 years. After my husband phone calls after phone calls, finally the doctor spoke to him and said that she will send it to pharmacy for 1 time only (no refill). The prescription should be for 90 days, but turns out to 30 days.
