Patient Reviews
Nov 10, 2023
Dr Hwang listened to my symptoms, did a physical exam, discussed possible diseases and syndromes, then prescribed a thorough plan of attack to narrow down possible causes for my disease. Followed up with additional blood work after initial results came back. On follow-up visit he explained results and discussed further procedures and medicines to curtail advancement of symptoms. This was a very thorough template to find answers.
