      I did not see a provider I saw a physician. Dr. Karen Wang is an excellent surgeon. I feel so much better after my surgery, she did a masterful job. She has incredible bedside manner, she is kind and caring. Her visits never feel rushed. She made time to see me in her schedule twice when I had an issue. I would recommend her to any patient.

      Dr. Karen Wang is a wonderful surgeon. I am a physician myself and was blown away by how detailed and knowledgeable she was. She was extremely kind and courteous. She gave me evidence based medical guidance. She was actually recommended to me by an anesthesiologist friend who has seen her operate and said she is the "best of the best." Very happy to have her as my surgeon.
