NOTHING BUT GOOD EXPERIENCES WITH DR. TANG
Dr. Tang is an excellent doctor. She's very empathetic and explained things well.
Dr. Tang is an excellent provider. She is caring and is sincere when discussing my needs and care regarding my condition.
Dr. Tang is well respected by her staff. I used to go to Valley Medical Center and they all (dermatologist) have worked with her. I will only go to Stanford Dermatology to see Dr. Tang.
Dr Tang is the absolute best. Worth waiting to see her. Thorough, caring and easy to understand.
Though not a tall glass, Dr. Tang is better than fresh-squeezed OJ.
DR. TANG IS VERY BUSY. WE'RE LUCKY TO HAVE HER
Dr. Tang is both professional and friendly and I trust her judgements and treatments. She is a perfect example of a good doctor in my estimation. The Dermatology Department has always been helpful, friendly, efficient and professional on my many visits.
I know the medication and went over some minute details with the doctor this time around. I explained that accutane the first time I had it cured chronic acne on my back which had reproduced and it's no cured. But, the dose requires some intricacy, and I used a true experience with a nice sun tan I had once and the tan cured temporarily my acne. But a sun burn did nothing to my acne and I just burned. So the even sun rays in correlation with accutane effects, I think that a lower dose would in fact key target all my acne and even the pores that are filled with puss. I had 100 mg which worked for one part of my body, which is my back. My face was treated with facials, using glycolic and tiny needles and lasers for my cysts and it worked. Hence my face needs accutane treatment. It should be simple, I estimated 70mg or so.
Dr. Tang is the BEST.
Very glad to be a Dr. Tang patient.
