Dr. Wang always goes above and beyond. She replied with test results the same day with a clear plan. She even organized this video visit so we didn't go into a long holiday weekend wondering about the results of our test. She worked with our schedule in implementing a follow up plan. She is very personable, knowledgeable and considerate.
