Dr Whang and his staff are great.I was having a hard time with doing surgery on my lung ,He and his staff spent time with me to explain my surgery. He did the surgery on my right upper lobe of my lung on 07/23/2024, The surgery went great and he got all the cancer. I don’t even need to have chemo or radiation !!!!!!!. I highly recommend Dr. Whang for lung surgery.

My experience at this place was exceptional. The staff was welcoming, professional, and very attentive. They explained everything clearly, treated me with respect, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I genuinely appreciate the level of care I received. Definitely a 5-star experience!

5 out of 5 stars

Doctor Whang was amazing. He removed 1/5 of my lung. Stage 1 Cancer. His recommendation was to remove it ASAP before it could grow and attach elsewhere. Lymph nodes showed no sign so he believes it was removed before it spread, we will know next CT scan in 4 months. But I feel so confident that's it is gone. His robotic procedure was quick, and my ribs thank him. I highly recommend Dr. WHANG.
