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.

I am 39 yo. I developed a large ventral hernia from an outpatient gallbladder surgery 01/18. The hernia got so large that it was affecting my breathing. I met dr. Kang and Amanda PA this summer for evaluation for hernia repair and abdominal reconstruction. Dr. Kang was very honest concerning to what to expect from the surgery. Dr. Kang and Amanda very knowledgeable and professional. I had my surgery on 9/21/18. I can’t be more thankful with the results. I thank dr. Kang and Amanda very much.
