“ Dr. Miao was excellent. He answered all of my questions, was patient and listened to my concerns. I had a good understanding of what to expect going into surgery and what would happen post-surgery. You can barely see the incision marks. I had a very smooth recovery. Many thanks to Dr. Miao.”

“Dr. Kang accessed the problem and he shared his findings with me. He silenced my concerns with his plan of action. He assured me through his confidence demeanor. The surgery went well and my recovery is also going well. I also wanted to complement his stellar team, the traveling nurse, Candace, the traveling physical therapist, Jay, and the team at the therapy center in Warm Springs. They all have done a wonderful job helping me get back to where I need to be. They all are a winning racing team. They are on the ball.”

“I have had 2 surgeries done by Dr Miao. I have no regrets except for the fact that I am getting old. I can't change that , but I can say that if I ever have to have another surgery on my knees or shoulder I would go back to Dr. Miao. Everyone there is so professional. I will also like to give Tiffany a 5***** rating. She is a wonderful person and I think Dr. Miao is lucky to have her working for him. Tiffany is an asset . I also saw Dr. Winder who is also a great doctor. He saw me for another problem and he solved my pain and discomfort with a shot. Thank you all. God bless!”
