5.0 star star star star starDr. Lung is very adept at his profession. He took time to explain, answer my questions, and offered options for my care. I was very frightened about my health and test results. Dr. Lung helped me to understand exactly what is happening within my body and gave me options for now and the future. He showed me my scans and now I can see exactly where the nodules are and I understand the size. He was compassionate and understood my fears.
