Dr. Snyder will make an excellent ENT doctor when she graduates from residency. She was very thorough and offered to show me my scope which lead to a more informed discussion. Her and Dr. Wang were excellent at explaining the findings and conditions, the treatment plan, at home care to help alleviate the issues, about the surgery, etc. I am very confident in the diagnosis and treatment skills from Drs. Wang and Snyder.

Dr wang did not explain the cancer diagnosis in depth but when he explained it he only said positive things I believe as not to worry me so I didn't stress but I definitely still stressed and tried my best to research my diagnosis which was very complicated since it's rare to have cancer where it's located. I still trust and believe in Dr Eric Wang and I'm happy and thankful that he is my Dr and so positive, caring, kind and professional.

I have been under the care of Dr. Wang for many months, and he is extraordinary. I'm pretty sick, and that's pretty scary at times, but I have never felt anything but hopeful with Dr. Wang. He is a superb physician (which I'm sure you know already)
