Dr Kang is knowledgeable and an excellent doctor and surgeon. He takes time to explain everything in terms a patient understands. I highly recommend him

I have a condition called Dupuytren’s Contracture. I have had 6 surgeries in the past in NJ. When I was ready for another operation, I found POA, checked their reviews. I was assigned to Dr. Kang. Best thing that could have happened. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and very easy to talk to. He has since done 3 surgeries, and all have been successful. I’d also like to thank his PA Chris Shetler. Great combination.

Been going to POA for many years. Dr. Kang did my first carpal tunnel surgery in 2021, now I'm ready for the other hand.

Dr. Kang was impressive. He sat with my wife and I and discussed my options for surgery. On the day of the surgery he reviewed and explained everything. The nurse called me the next day to check on me. I highly recommend Dr. Kang.

Dr. Kang displayed both great expertise as well as compassion for my complaint. In addition, he explained the cause and options for treatment succinctly and thoroughly without talking down to me. I find him to be an excellent physician.
