Peter Whang Md's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Peter Whang found my Cervical upper back and thoracic injuries when other doctors ignored my complaints. He explained I had cervical herniated disc. I was told pain doesn’t radiate from the top to the bottom by other WC doctors or there’s nothing wrong with me! Now I find out with all the additional herniated disc from my work injury at school on 10-16-18, my limbs arms and legs are losing mobility at times. Dr. Peter Whang is the doctor that revealed the truth! Dr. Whang is an exceptional Orthopedic doctor and Highly Skilled in His Profession! Thank you, for giving me a fighting chance so I don’t end up paralyzed! God bless, Tara

Peter Whang is a phenomenal doctor, after waiting tree years and countless hours visiting other doctors I was finally met with my treatment, he sent me for more testing to provide me with an accurate diagnosis. Long story short, we are working on a treatment plan and I have already gotten surgery, I gotta say that my pain is gone. Thanks doc!!!

Pretty nice guy but didn't seem too interested in listening to me about my symptoms. Told me that there was no connection between the neck problem and ear related symptoms I have been experiencing , which all happened to be in the same problematic area. I only had been dealing with this for over a decade and have had time to make my own observations and connections. his words went completely against what I have learned doing my own research, what I've been told by the countless therapists, chiropractors, Orthopaedic drs. And other neurosurgeons. He told me straight out there was no connection and it didn't make sense? What doesn't make sense to me is that there is a muscle called the SCM muscle and it goes right up behind the ear and it's attached to the neck and he quickly dismisses it. Very disappointing visit. I guess I should have known better than to ask a doctor about a muscle related problem.(?) Thanks for nothing doc. Not a direction to lead me either. Felt like I was wasting his time.. I hate doctors that talk down to me...waste of gas..

I had two back surgeries with continued leg pain I had to get a second opinion because the issue wasn't addressed and required another back surgery I suffered greatly for over 7 years because the ectopic bone was crushing nerve root. For quality of life issues I required removal of ectopic bone and fixation device which took less than 3 hours done again by yet another doctor. It should have been removed a long time ago..

Never been more upset with a doctor. He checked me out for 2 minutes, ordered an MRI, and prescribed me steroid that he never fully explained. No way he had enough information to do this. He asked me if I had questions with one foot out the door, then left, without shaking my hand, saying the appointment was over or helping me take further action. Online I found that the steroid increases insomnia and anxiety. I deal with both, and indicated this at check-in. He never asked. Out of space. Angry.

I have had 3 surgeries with Dr. Whang. He is a miracle worker. His surgery skills are the best I have ever witnessed. The office staff is great, they return my calls promptly and will call back if they cannot answer my questions immediately. His nurse, Carolina is patient, courteous, and seems to be able to do anything.

The negative review above couldn't be farther from the truth - he must have the wrong guy. Dr. Whang performed surgery on my wife, which was a total success. He helped my daughter with her back issues and he talked my father out of having surgery another doctor had recommended! He is patient, will answer all of your questions and truly caring. Our family has been working with him for over 6 years and have nothing but positive feelings and the utmost respect for his knowledge and abilities.

Doctor Whang is quite possibly THE BEST doctor I have seen hands down--and not just as it relates to spine care. Having a long history of back pain, complicated by a recent car accident, I can tell you that Dr. Whang has been especially careful to provide me with a treatment plan that not only considers the condition I am facing, but also my family's needs and my other health issues. I cannot say enough about how wonderful a Doctor he is! So impressed by the balance of professionalism and care.

He was the worst Doctor I have ever seen. He made me feel stupid, he told me to google things instead of answering my questions, he didn't want to discuss my options until I decided to have surgery. But how can I decide on a surgery if you don't tell me what the surgery is and whether there are other options?

All I can say he is one of the best surgeons around. He gave great results after surgery also.
