Reviews

"Dr. Zhang took a lot of time to listen to all of my concerns, even things that were seemingly unconnected. She assured me that she wanted to hear all of my story. When I told her, she listened. Most physicians have too little time to do this, and several physicians have discounted my symptoms as irrelevant. My symptoms come and go, and they vary in severity; Dr. Zhang took this into consideration, and in our first session she provided specific steps on how I can help myself at home. I have implemented all of these steps and am showing some improvement already, which is incredibly encouraging and totally empowering. I no longer feel alone and hopeless, and I have more information to help me live a full and happy life." - Kim
