The procedure/surgery was performed in early May and I have completed my 3 month blanking period and just saw him in follow-up. I couldn't be more pleased that I am lucky enough to have him as my electro-cardiologist. While I am sure there are many very capable electro-cardiologists out there, Dr. Kang is, by reputation and personal experience, a cut above. What he does is part science and part art - you either got it or you don't and he's got it. I am hopeful that my AFib is gone for good but I am grateful for the time and effort he put into my surgery and it's so far favorably outcome. He is also a good communicator and actually follows his patients. It certainly helps that he has such high caliber PAs at his group. Messages through the Sutter app are promptly responded to with the responses typically complete and informative. I have had office visits with just a PA and leave feeling like I saw a Cardiologist such is the caliber and training of the PA staff there. Even the medical assistants are top notch. Frankly, you can't go wrong with any of the cardiologists at this group right across the street from Summit Alta Bates Hospital in Oakland but they have a couple of real stars in Dr. Kang and my regular cardiologist, Dr. Johnson. Prior review: I was recently referred to Dr. Kang by my cardiologist for an ablation that is upcoming in May. I have only praise for his clear and forthcoming responses and guidance in my two pre-surgical office visits. He is engaging, empathetic and clearly an expert in his field - every one of my Doctors speaks glowingly of him as well. I feel fortunate to have managed to be one of his patients.

I have had the privilege of being under Dr. Wrubble's care since 2009, when he diagnosed me with multiple sclerosis (MS), a life-altering moment that he helped me face with compassion, clarity, and empowerment. What set Dr. Wrubble apart from the very first appointment was how meticulous and informative he was in his approach. He didn't rush the diagnosis or rely on assumptions--he explained every test, every symptom, and every treatment path in a way that made me feel not just heard, but truly understood. He laid out the roadmap of what MS could look like in my future and gave me access to resources that helped me not only understand the disease, but learn how to live with it. These weren't generic handouts or boilerplate instructions--Dr. Wrubble offered personalized, real-world guidance that helped me transition into this new chapter of my life with a sense of direction and control. Over the years, he has remained consistently current with the latest research and evolving treatment options in the field of neurology. He doesn't just prescribe a medication--he explains why it's being prescribed, how it interacts with the body, what to expect, and what other paths may be available if things change. That kind of transparency and education is invaluable, especially with a complex and often unpredictable condition like MS. Despite changes in insurance networks and medical group affiliations, I have continued to see Dr. Wrubble--paying out of pocket--because I simply have not found anyone else who provides the same level of care and depth of understanding. That alone speaks volumes. Many physicians are skilled, but Dr. Wrubble combines skill with a personal commitment that inspires confidence and loyalty. If you or a loved one is dealing with a neurological condition, I cannot recommend Dr. Bradley Wrubble highly enough. He is a rare breed of doctor--intelligent, meticulous, compassionate, and unwaveringly dedicated to the well-being of his patients. Choosing him was one of the best medical decisions I've ever made, and I will continue to place my trust in his expertise for as long as I'm able.
