Dr. Mary Ling is one of the few doctors that go the extra mile when it comes to her patients care! She doesn't treat me like just a numbered patient on a list!!! She spends time with me in the room, never rushing me. I tell her about all my pain I carry with me everyday and she shows empathy!! She does whatever she can to try to ease the pain for me. I am comfortable around her and trust her expertise opinion! I see many doctors throughout the years and Dr. Ling is one of the few that I woukd consider an EXCELLENT DOCTOR!!!

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
