John S Tang, MD

I’ve been going to Dr. Tang for many years. He is a very busy doctor. I need to booked my appointment 1 – 2 weeks ahead to see him. He is not only certified as a family doctor. He is also a DERMATOLOGISTS, beauty care as Foto facial.
He is very friendly and very professional. You need to get to know him. Now as I am a member of Kaiser Permanente. But I still go to see him, because my co-​pay is expansive.

It pains me to write this because he is a doctor, but…
He was my primary doctor for a LONG time. Years ago, he was busier than heck with people lined up out the door to see him (mainly seniors) as a DOCTOR. He has always been busy and sometimes a visit can last all but 2 minutes after an hour plus wait. He does care about your health, but doesn’t really have enough time to «listen».
We sometimes don’t bother going or dispise going because we anticipate his medical advise to be «take a long hot shower and use a heating pad.» And sure as sh*t, that’s what he says 8 out of 10 times!
Fast forward to 2010, he is still busy, but it’s all in the CASH business of Foto-​Facial. As each year passed, his business shifted quite fast from being a family doctor to an expert in cosmetic skin care. In the past 5 years, you COULD NOT make an appointment because APPOINTMENTS were reserved for Foto-​Facial customers. The nurse/​recieptionist always advised you to come after 2pm and WAIT (til there is a gap in CASH clients). In addition, he now employs 3 – 5 girls that help him in that line of business. Lastly, patients that see him as a doctor seems to be a great inconvience to him as his attention is ALWAYS on what’s happening in the next room with a CASH customer — like he’ll stop in mid sentence, not excuse himself and leave to check on them.
Furthermore, he still does cash only immigration immunization testing.
No longer is he my doctor since being a doctor no longer is his focus.
