Dr Pingpank and the PA were interested in me. They asked questions and showed concern for my well being. Dr Pingpank also agreed that my treatment could be modified as a result of the treatment time period we have been receiving. I am very pleased with the treatment that I am receiving from Dr Pingpank and his team.

Best Doctor

Dr. PingPang and his team were very knowledgeable and explained what needed to be done and best way to do it. Also advised what to expect and answered all my questions. Surgery was scheduled in a very timely manner and all pre-op tests completed while there. Contact information for all was left with me should I have any additional questions. Would highly recommend to others.
