    Dr. Ng, as usual, was very considerate and professional. We discussed getting my blood pressure down to a more safer place. Also, he referred me for audiology and physical therapy visits based on concerns shared with Dr. Ng.

    Dr. Donald Ng is one that I can say sets a standard for how care is and should be provided. Caring, thoughtful with the right amount of rigor in his evaluation, and comprehensive on his work and follow up. Many other providers seems to be rushed as if profitability drivers have set standards of care where there appears to be superficial interest in the patient. Many can learn from Dr. Ng and that both excellent care and business objectives can be achieved.
