Patient Experience Star Ratings and Comments
The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients’ perception of how well their Mount Sinai provider communicated with them during an office visit. The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on a patient experience survey, a standardized questionnaire sent to verified patients and distributed by a third party vendor, Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.
First time seeing Dr. Kang, he was great, definitely happy I was able to see him.
This was not my first time at this particular Mount Sinai doctors office. It was, however, the first time that I saw Dr. Kang. The experience was very pleasant and very satisfying.
Dr. Kang was extremely professional, knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate. He took the time to carefully review all of my test results, answered every one of my questions thoroughly, and completely addressed a major concern that had been causing me a lot of anxiety. I chose him as my primary care physician because of his internal medicine background, and this experience confirmed that I made the right decision. His expertise, clear explanations, and genuine care made me feel comfortable, reassured, and confident that I am in excellent hands. I truly trust him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding primary care physician.
Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
Dr. Kang has not yet completed reporting of industry relationships or has no industry relationships to report.
