Hand Pain

Mona Parks

I am so grateful for this opportunity to tell others about the excellent skills and lovely disposition of Dr. Lana Kang.

Since I was a child I had concerns about scarring-even a scratch would turn dark and the scar would take a very long time to heal. I have what's considered hypertrophic skin, which means that the scar turns dark and any cut has a tendency to develop into a 'raised' scar.

I told Dr. Kang about my dilemma and she assured me that I need not be concerned about it because not only does she take her surgeon skills serious, but she would take extra care that the stitching is done properly.

One would have to look very, very close to see where I had surgery. It isn't noticeable at all. I was so relieved, and I intend to go to Dr. Kang for care, and any surgery I may need that she can perform.

From a truly grateful and thankful patient,

Mona T. Parks
