Dr. Kang is an excellent surgeon. I was fortunate to receive his care following a traumatic injury. He is highly skilled, kind, and compassionate. Dr. Kang took the time needed, listens to me and helped me understand my options. Highly recommend!

Review for Dr. Christmas

Wonderful surgeon. Him and his staff went above and beyond for my daughters surgery and healing. He expedited her surgery by coming in on his day off and kept a close eye on her recovery for six months. Highly recommend
