I have been with Dr. Whang for close to 30 years. I am bipolar 1 with psychotic features. He has always been there for me and knows me like an open book. I couldn't imagine working with anyone else.

Dr. Whang always does a good job of explaining to me exactly how I am doing and why he prescribes certain medications and what the results of my blood test mean, etc. I appreciate his help with my situation. Also, he even shares a little about himself, which helps me to better understand some things that are confusing to me.
