Dr. Ng has been our son's GI for over five years now. We've not always seen eye to eye but when we have had our differences he is open to hearing what we have to say and he takes that into consideration. And that is admirable. He does seem to care about our son and his best interests.

One of the best decisions made in our lives was moving to receive care with Dr. Ng. He clearly cares for our daughter, listens to our feedback and input, gives us options and insight so we can make the best decisions, and answers our questions.
