Aeri Kang, MD

Dr. Kang showed the utmost concern and scheduled appointments with other specialists immediately. We felt we were completely in her care and that she was absolutely going to make sure we got the help we needed.

I needed clearance for a surgery the following week. I didn't know lab tests were needed to get clearance. She was going on vacation the following week. She had to get the results by the following morning in order to clear me, as she only worked Friday morning. I suggested several alternatives, if she didn't get the results back before she left for vacation. She said NO to all of them. She just said hurry down to lab and hope she'd get the results in time. If not, I wouldn't be cleared and would have to cancel both surgeries and all the appointments associated with them. She did not seem concerned with the possibility of my having to cancel and reschedule 2 surgeries. When I went to the lab, I asked them if they could expedite getting the results to the doctor. They said no, but that the doctor could have written STAT on the request and then she would have gotten the results the same day. They were going to contact her and see if she would amend the request to urgent status. They also said it could take 2-3 days to get the results, which would have been too late for me to get clearance and proceed with the scheduled surgeries. To say I was unhappy is being polite. However, I received a call this morning that the clearance had been given, so apparently the request was changed to urgent. The assistant was very helpful and kind and informative.
