Dr. Kahng has inspired confidence from our first meeting. He explains procedures with directness and clarity. He's told us what to expect and what to look out for in language we can understand. He must have so many patients and families to keep track of, yet still seems to know who I am and what matters to me. There is a kind of dignity underlying that which sets him apart.

Dr Kahng is very upbeat and friendly. His professionalism and knowledge are evident. He takes time to explain your health issues and treatment options clearly and in a way that a non-medical mind can understand. I always have the same thought during visits to Dr Kahng, that he honestly enjoys the field that he Is In and truly wants the best for his patients.
