Dr Kang is awesome! His practice is relatively new- but this means he has learned up-to-date medicine. I feel that he really listened to me, and worked with me for a good plan of care. His bedside manner is excellent, and he has a great sense of humor. There was only so much he could do to help me with my particular condition, but he did EVERYTHING he COULD do. We decided on a nerve block, and when he told me that it would probably take 3-4 weeks for me to get it, because upstate bone and joint requires pre-approval from insurance, and then they need to find time to make me an appointment, I broke down in tears.
Well, I don't know how he pulled it off, but Dr Kang managed to get me in a week and a half after my initial appointment!
The staff in the surgery center on the third floor were fantastic, and so was Dr Kang. I was given a sedative, but I have ehlers danlos syndrome, so it didn't do a whole lot. That was OK though, because it meant I was able to ask questions about my procedure as he was doing it. He was a rock star, answering me and delivering my nerve block with precision and care at the same time. I'm passionate about medicine, and I love to learn, so that was cool. Also it distracted me from the pain a bit, which was helpful. He also called and personally checked up on me. He also answered my messages on MyChart in a timely manner, which I really appreciated!
All in all, I highly recommend Dr Kang, even though he practices out of Upstate Bone and Joint, which is a dystopian nightmare of endless waiting rooms- he will personally get you in pretty quickly, but also give you the time you need. read more
