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.

Beware of this doctor
I saw Dr. Tang on 5/1/23 and after an ultrasound was performed (the technician did a sloppy job by not having me bear weight on a certain leg when she was squeezing my leg even though I asked her if it mattered) Dr. Tang told me I need to have my “leaky vein glued” and other veins burned. He told me if I did not I would get brown legs and lymphedema in my legs. He was altering the report saying I was wearing compression socks for 3 months so my insurance would cover these unnecessary procedures. I went for a second opinion to a private practice vein specialist in Hinsdale and they performed a second ultrasound. This doctor told me my veins are fine and that I do not need any procedures!! Dr. Tang was going to perform procedures on my legs that I did not actually need!

Dr. Tang is a very knowledgeable physician and skilled surgeon. I was very fortunate my general practice physician sent me to Dr. Tang for vein treatment. Very professional office! Thanks Dr. Tang and staff.
