Dr Tang changed my life for the better. After living with Wolff-Parkinson's White Syndrome for 20years and having had two unsuccessful ablations in 2003, Dr Tang gave me hope after those 20 years, when other cardiologists told me nothing more could be done for me. In January of 2023, Dr Tang performed a successful ablation, curing me of my WPW. When I saw Dr Tang earlier this month, he provided me with my first normal EKG in 20+yrs, I am forever grateful to Dr Tang and his team. Dr Tang is everything you want in a doctorkind, courteous, patient, thorough and simply amazing. Cant recommend Dr Tang and his staff enough.

Dr Tang is my cardiologist, and has been since February of this year when I was admitted with a pulmonary embolism. His follow-up care and advice has been exemplary and I feel safe in his care. He has assuaged my fears and provided me with solid reassurance. I have already recommended him to several friends. And, as a side note, it is always interesting to see the reactions of colleagues at every level around the person treating you. Several nurses, a receptionist and a few technicians have all expressed their admiration for Dr. Tang. And this was unsolicited..

Dr. Tang is one of five doctors I have seen due to a pulmonary embolism I experienced in early February. All five have been professional, conscientious and caring. I can't say enough good things about them. I am also very impressed with the integrated communication of the Providence network. I have seen the opposite with very sick friends who were frustrated and anxious with their care at other facilities. I am comforted and reassured by both the excellent doctors AND their ability to correlate and integrate their care of me.
