Daniel W. Kang, MD

February 26, 2026

This is the second time I have met with Dr King and I am more satisfied and fulfilled than even the first. His credibility as a good physician comes quickly to me when I find that he is well read, empathetic and in my point of view, spiritually centered. Besides being a good listener, he seems inventive in his approaches of finding answers to best address my diagnosis. Whether it means a slight lifestyle change in the way I approach my sleep in a darkened room, the need for me to step out into the sunlight of the spirit, or whether it's more conventional aspects of treatment like possibly a cpac and proper medications, or even stepping outside the box and suggesting sunlight mirrors and counselors that offer cognitive behavioral therapy. I find they're all sound ideas and I intend to follow them as a patient who directly wants to be involved in his own healing.

It was such a delight to meet and be treated by Dr. Kang for the first time. He not only listened to be intently, but all my questions were answered beyond my expectations. He gave excellent suggestions in which I intend to follow. Since he is a literate physician, perhaps this is why he is such a good communicator.

November 5, 2025

Dr. Kang was about 45 minutes to our scheduled appointment which was less than ideal as I had taken time off work to attend at the scheduled time. I called in to the operator to ask for an update before Dr. Kang joined and was basically told that this happens and there is no policy to notify patients when a physician is running more than 20/30 minutes late. The majority of the call was pleasant enough but towards the end, it appeared that Dr. Kang was becoming annoyed with my follow up questions as he said that we “kept going back and forth.” This was not the type of experience that I have come to expect from UCLA.
