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.

Dr Waung has a lot of empathy for my condition and is not giving up on figuring out exactly what is happening to me. I appreciate her greatly.

Horrible!
Comes in 45 mins late and doesn't have a clue about your symptoms or medical history. Unless you have migraines, don't bother. She will waste your time. That is all she knows and will diagnose, whether you have the symptoms or not. Never follows up with you after your appointment either.

A caring, well-trained, and thorough physician
I saw Dr. Waung on Feb. 1, 2023. She was fully prepared, has reviewed my copious chart notes from several doctors, and many lab tests, MRIs, EEG’s, and more. She was patient, thorough, she let me tell my complicated history. She asked many pertinent questions. Though she did take notes on her computer, she continued to look at me, establishing eye contact. She was obviously caring about me, and understood my concerns, taking ownership of my problem. Her history and physical were most thorough. She went through my lab tests and MRI’s with me, explaining in detail what she saw and what she was thinking. She spent time thinking out my problem. She is clearly a kind and caring person and an excellent physician who does not just stop at her own subspecialty interest, but covered the broad diagnostic range of neurologic diagnoses, and arrived at a plan for me. I wholeheartedly recommend this kind, caring, thoughtful, empathetic physician.
