It was my idea to look online to Castles online patient records to find out my results. I contacted Castle Hospitals ombudsman to give recommendations for Dr to improve communication when testing for cancer.

My procedure took abut 45 minutes and he was able to find polyps and remove them. The staff at Pacific Endoscopy are very, very nice as well. To maintain your privacy, you are assigned a number, so they call your number instead of your name when the nurses are ready to prep you. Although I could only see his eyes, in my drug-hazed state, Dr. Wong reminded me of my husband at the same age. That was strangely comforting to me. Dr. Wong and Pacific Endoscopy were very good about giving me instructions, such as the day-before prep (not fun), and what to do on the day of your procedure. They provided me with a Medi-Van service number that I could call, since I wasn't able to drive home after the procedures. They are very thorough in telling patients what to do and expect with these procedures.

I absolutely DO NOT recommend this physician…read more I am a retired ICU Registered Nurse. My husband is a retired physician. I was referred to Dr Yang for a colonoscopy - a 3 year post - polyp removal follow up. Below were some of my many concerns: 1.I found his administrative staff to be polite but incompetent - especially a male named Vincent. Vincent would repeatedly contact me over the course of 4 months to request my "healthcare authorization". Which I repeatedly re-sent. This was actually not what he needed. He was actually requesting my "health history". 2. The weekend before my scheduled "pre -procedure" appointment - Vincent contacted me yet again to let me know they had not yet received my "healthcare authorization". He said they would have to "cancel" my pre - procedure appointment " if they did not receive my paperwork by 5pm on that Friday. I again sent my "medical authorization " paperwork. Unfortunately- it was a Friday. And I realized my appointment was at 8am the following Monday. I did not want them to cancel an appointment that I had waited 4 months for. So - I contacted Dr Yang via cell number provided by voicemail. I reached him - and he was audibly disturbed that I had dared to contact him regarding ensuring that my appointment was kept as my paperwork was in order...he did wish to concern himself with such a trivial matter. I found him to be abrupt, condescending....and rude over the phone. 3. I showed up early on Monday morning with my husband at my side. Dr Yang was late. His waiting room was small- there were 3 other patients waiting with me. So - he's "cramming" 4 patients into an 8am time slot - with only ONE physician. As he entered - he was clearly irritable- he barked at his front desk staff to remove a sign from his office front door. As I was seated right next to the door - and his staff were behind an enclosed desk ( they would have had to walk around) - to be helpful I got up and removed the sign as he wished. He did not like that. He wanted his own staff to do as he bid. Already off to a bad start. 4. During my office visit - it became very clear that it was a "pre-procedure" visit. For a COLONOSCOPY. I've had 2 previous colonoscopies. The purpose of my visit was so that he could SELL me his "special" colon prep. And he wanted to explain to us personally all the details of his colon prep. During this entire visit - he was rude and condescending. He did not like the fact that I had called him personally on the weekend to ensure that I would see him Monday morning. He did not like the fact that both my husband and I were a nurse and a physician - he needed to let us understand we knew our place in HIS world. 5. We bought his "special" colon prep. I went home - and realized that Dr Yang was probably the worst physician I have ever encountered- both as a nurse working at Straub Hospital in their ICU...and as a patient. Horrible bedside manner...and I certainly was not willing to find out if his clinical skills were any better by letting him insert a scope into my unconscious body. I wrote above so that every person on Oahu would understand that they do not need to be treated in such an ABUSIVE way and receive substandard care from any physician. Just walk away. NO. I cancelled the appointment with him. Dr Russell Yang should never practice again. Dr James W O'Brien at Surgicare Hawaii eventually did my colonoscopy. He was EXCELLENT.

Russ just joined Kuakini in the last 5 years. He was a private practitioner before. He left Queen's where he also worked. I am no longer with him but enjoyed him enough to give him a piece of art I made. Good bedside manner; quick with the humor. Drawback is that he uses a call center to field calls. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. There aren't that many liver specialists in Honolulu and he is one. I recommend this doctor and clinic.
