Dr. Kang is very helpful. My immigration medical exam was a no hassle one because of him and his team! The secretary is such a charmer, clearly explained how we can maximize the insurance so we won't pay a lot. If you are to get your Immigration Medical Exam, this is definitely a place to go- helpful, easy, budget-friendly! read more

Got in within a short wait and the nurse checked all my info before the doctor came in. The doctor explained a few things I didnt understand and was pretty patient with my questions. Gave some suggestions and options instead of just one solution. Office seemed well organized. read more

Dr. Kang is a very good doctor. Gets fully involved in patient care. He manages to see patients almost at the appointment time yet gives the required amount of time. read more

I think Dr Kang is a good doctor but his front office needs immediate change. You don't wait for well over an hour to be seen Appointment should be fallowed in timely manner not treated like a walk in. I.V. read more

Horrible service! The assistant was quite rude and disrespectful, she was not helpful, the best advice she gave me was "you should change your primary doctor" I explained the reason for my hoarse voice and still kept saying "I don't understand" but it's strange that I called somewhere else and if they understood me perfectly, this should be unacceptable read more

Dr. Kang sees both of my parents and I can't say enough good things about him. It's very obvious that he is a good doctor and he cares for his patients. After visiting many other Korean doctors in the area, my parents are very grateful to have found Dr. Kang. I highly recommend him for anyone who is looking for a trustworthy doctor. read more

Dr. Kang came to see me when I was in O'Connor Hospital in December 2023. I was admitted because I had RSV and pneumonia and didn't know it. I just thought it was a back ache that I couldn't get rid of. I had never had an issue with an ache in my lung. I didn't know that that would be the location of an infection in my lung. Anyway I was absolutely floored when he walked in to my ICU room. He said he had seen my name on the list of people admitted to the hospital. I knew most doctors that weren't on staff at the hospital were usually to busy to stop by on their own time, especially him, he's the kind of doctor who sees his patients and trains new up and coming doctors. I just really like him and hope he doesn't retire anytime soon! I would really miss him! Signed, JoAnn T. read more

My father has been a patient of Dr. Kang's for years. He is thorough, patient, and kind. I trust in is quality of care, and deeply appreciate him. read more

I really enjoy seeing Dr Kang. He is down to earth, easy to talk to, and has a good sense of humor. He listens and is attentive and sensitive to what you have to say as well. I have been i good health since I have been in his care and am confident he will keep me in good health. By the way, he brings his cute dog to the office though doggie is well behaved and stays out of the way. read more

Dae-Wook Kang, MD - Internal Medicine Near Me - San Jose, California

Dr Kang is everything I wanted from a doctor. Hes nice and easy to talk to, listens, and overall provides excellent general healthcare. He is also very kind and I can sense hes genuinely interested in my health. He went out of his way one time to answer my questions when I traveled out of state. I highly recommend Dr Kang. read more

Dr .Kang took care of my brother for many many years. He is a very compassionate and caring man. He always referred him to good doctors when a specialist was needed. I couldn't have asked for a more dedicated and through and thoughtful doctor for my dear brother. Barbara Doetsch sister of Steve Waldorf read more

Please avoid at all cost. If you are okay with getting ripped off but hassle free medical exam for your visa, go for it. They are nice until they collect all of their money. They told me to get reimbursement for the vaccination I got as a part of exam. They asked me to pay with my credit card since the medical exam for visa is not covered by the insurance. When I claimed my vaccination to my insurance, they denied my claim saying it is a duplicate. It turns out they already charged my insurance and took the money. When I called them, they said "their system is down and they will call me back when the system comes back online". I guess their system has not come back for weeks? Good luck with that! Update: They sent me a refund check a month later from my visit. I'm not sure if this is because of my review or not. I updated my stars from 1 to 3. read more

I just learned my grandmother was under this man's care when she was diagnosed with stomach cancer. She came into his office with stomach pains and he sent her away with ointments to massage the pain. The pain persisted so she came back a few weeks later and when he finally did an MRI for her to find out that she had stomach cancer. She passed away within three to four months of being diagnosed with stomach cancer. What was more abhorrent was what he said to my mother. As soon as this man told my mother that her mother had cancer, he said, "It's because you (her daughter) didn't drive her as often as you should have to the hospital." It was as if he was preemptively putting the blame on my mother before she could put the blame on him. My mother is not the kind of person to put this kind of blame on others. She walked out of that office feeling terrible. She felt so terrible that she asked her mother if she had said those things to the doctor, and my grandmother said there was no way she would have said that (that is not her style of communication either). This man is unprofessional at best, and a POS at worst. My mother didn't have the heart to file a malpractice suit or a complaint so here you go, Yelpers. Also, always check if your doctors have a clean record on the Medical Board of California. You're welcome. read more

Worst service ever!!!!! Waited 1:20 minutes to see him. Finally I was directed to go into office then told to go back out to waiting room. I waited another 20 minutes for him to see another patients that arrived after me whose appointment was 30 minutes after mine. They didn't apologize, so I just decided to leave. I didn't want a doctor that discriminate some patients. Lastly, the receptionist was not on top of it and it looked like they were not trained properly. When I mentioned this is going on yelp, the receptionist didn't even care. I can find a better doctor not a doctor that just wants my money. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Kang for a very long time! Love Dr Kang!!! Patients view will always be different. Some patients expect too much from a doctor. They are NOT GOD!! Doctors will do their best but don't expect everything to be perfect! Doctors are humans, too. read more

Dr. Kang is very knowledgeable doctor. He has a great experience over all. I am a nurse and one of my patient's primary doctor was Dr Kang many years ago. I was impressed about his kindness and patience listening patient's all complaints and trying new technology/med to relieve his patient's pain. And I decided to have Dr Kang as my primary doctor. I love his knowledge and he has a clear answer to my all questions. Dr. Kang airways understand my needs and accommodate any test I wanted to do it and gives me a good advice. I was looking at yelp review to look for my daughter's doctor in San Francisco and found out some people wrote about Dr Kang. If test result is good, he might not call you. If test result is bad, he will contact you right away. read more

My mom went in to see him today and I was very upset at what she had to tell me. If a patient needs help and attention he should be able to offer care and attention as needed but instead he just gets annoyed. HE IS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! He seemed very irritated, can you believe a doctor who is irritated with a patient who needs help? He even criticized the money that we paid him HIGHLY do not recommend this "Doctor" read more

I was impressed with Dr. Kang from the start. I had a primary care doctor for 12 years and really never felt that he was in tune with me. Dr. Kang is a great listener and makes you feel like your the only patient he has when he is evaluating your healthcare.. My 93 year Italian Mom goes to Dr. Kang and so does my 90 year Uncle. Believe me he is a rare breed and most of his patients would give him the "As good as it gets" review...... I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a GREAT Doc..... read more

I've been seeing Dr. Dae-Wook Kang maybe two years now after sometime I noticed he wouldn't really check me physically typical doctors health concerns only ask questions and send me somewhere else, most the time he'd send me for X-rays ct scans mri and never informed me about the results of the test unless I asked . His errors on medical documents led me to see he was more interested in me coming back more visits costing more money. It surprised me that he would charge me $40.00 to fill out a form to the EDD office more than once. Then his mistakes costed me another bill. I told them it seems like a scam. I told them I would not come back again. The staff are rude bad attitudes and made me feel that they disliked me because I wasn't the same race as them. I feel they don't deserve one star but had to put something. I'm very disappointed they would be more money hungry business. read more

I used to have a good impression and appreciate the doctor when we thought he was a kind person who was trying to help us through our difficult time. Now I realize that they're just a bunch of blood sucker, especially the aggressive front desk girl. Dr. Kang personally told us many times that he'd not charge us for the service since he understood our situation. We were so grateful and planning to send flowers to show our appreciation afterwards. A month later, we received a bill asking us to pay for service. We were surprised and thought that could be a mistake so we called and left them a voicemail explaining what the doctor promised us. We didn't receive their call back but I thought that was just one of the many times they didn't follow up. 3 months later, I received another bill and I called them right away. No matter how I explained, the front desk girl kept saying "when you receive service, you pay for it" and that she checked with the doctor already and he told her to charge. In fact, there's a possibility that she lied to me that she did check with the doctor because I don't think anybody would say something to later deny it. She told me if we don't pay, she'll send it to collection. Ok, so things got ugly and I couldn't stand her anymore, I told her I was gonna write a review and I don't care that she'd send us to collection. If you're that greedy and aggressive, I can't stop you. What a horrible experience! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Kang for many years now. He listens to me thoroughly and sends me for lab work/mammograms/referrals as needed. I feel that he is a very good doctor and he will spend the time with you to assess your issue/s. He has never been rude (shocked to see that on 1 person's review here) and has been very kind/gentle to me throughout the years. I would highly recommend this MD as your primary doctor. read more

I started taking my elderly mother to Dr. Kang, at the recommendation of a nurse. He is very thorough and spent a long time with us looking through her history and long list of medications she is taking. She has been going to him for about 4 months now and is feeling much better as he has added one medication to her list and removed 4. He has been very responsive whenever the pharmacy calls him and we don't have to wait very long, waiting to be seen. read more

I love seeing dr. Kang who is professional and knowledgeable, but the receptionists (especially the rude girl in the front desk) should be nice. I am getting a lot of stress to call them for appt and any follow-up. read more

I have been a patient of Doctor Kang for six months and I was referred to him by my former doctor who retired. I am a man, 59 years old. I want to give Doctor Kang my highest and strongest and most favorable recommendation. Doctor Kang is caring and he exhibits great knowledge and professionalism in his diagnoses and prognoses (explanation of medical condition and plan to address the medical condition). He even draws pictures of internal organs and conditions to help explain the conditions for which I have had to see him over this time. Above all, Doctor Kang and his staff are very nice people and I consider it a privilege to have Doctor Kang as my physician. Dennis B. Navarra; San Jose, CA read more

Dr. Kang is my doctor and has been for several years. He is very good! He listens to me, is insightful and pragmatic, and treats me with respect. He and his office has a very good bedside manner. Thank you! read more

Giving no stars is not an option, otherwise that's how many I would give. Quite simply, this is the most incompetent, uninterested and rude doctor I have visited in my life. I would say he is more fit to be a technician, but that would be unfair to the many technicians with far more compassion and human skills. Go see someone else--ANYONE else--you can't do worse. read more

I find Dr Kang very willing to work with you on your health. He is not afraid to tell you the truth and I appreciate that. When I need help with any problem he or his staff has always followed through till resolved. Some times soft spoken people are miss under stood to sound like they don't care but nothing could be farther the truth. I think Dr Volger made a fine choice for a replacement. read more

You won't find a better doctor than Dr. Kang. Smart, kind, professional, and tuned in to patients' needs. He will listen to what you have to say then make the medical recommendation. He will work with you with class, good manners, and the utmost in professionalism. He is very knowledgable and has a lot of years of experience and expertise to help you along your journey to good health. His dedication to medicine is unsurpassed. I highly recommend Dr. Kang if you're looking for a wonderful doctor - you won't find any better anywhere! P.S. I'm a nurse, I know. read more

I am seeing Dr Kang for a year. He listens to medical complaints evaluating what care to provide and after reviewing my relevant medical records discusses treatments. His evaluations of care are clearly stated and he helps me feel I am partnering with him in my getting well. His staff are busy but know who patients are by name. And they follow up on referrals to specialists - even working with me on getting appointments - and if a referral is occasionally delayed I am thanked for a reminder and the referral happens or is changed. read more

I think Dr. Kang is burned out and impatient. He may be board-certified, but he didn't bother to relay all that knowledge to me during my 2 visits . Literally, this is what happened at both exams: I ask him a question, he gives me a curt answer using medical words I obviously don't know, an uncomfortable silence follows as I wait for him to elaborate.. and he does not. I ask him again, and he starts sighing although I am the only one at the office. I never saw anyone else in the waiting area. Medical stuff may be obvious to him, but it is not to patients. His behavior is highly unprofessional, not to mention, bad for his business. I started with Dr. Kang when I was new to the area and quickly found another internist who cares enough to be an effective communicator. I feel guilty about leaving this 1-star review because a doctor's reputation is important. However, had I known ahead of time, I would have saved myself the stress and insomnia after frustrating visits with him. I also realize I am not the only one who feels this negatively about Dr. Kang. You should see the strong language in his filtered yelp reviews (small link at the bottom left of last review). read more
