Hun Ku Kang, MD

Dr kang really is the best doctor I have ever been to. He takes the time to explain what it is that your symptoms mean and walk you through how to make it better. I have been there while I was sick before and he gave me antibiotics for free, which would have costed me 30 extra dollars at the pharmacy. SCORE! Dr kang you really are the best. Also one of the most polite doctors I’ve ever met. I once had a antibiotic shot that made me feel a little whoozy, so they kept me there and gave me a boba until I felt better. Really good people.

Great doctor, wonderful staff, took care of all my issues and always helpful when appointments are not made ahead of time. Highly recommended for primary physician.

Dr Kang is a very nice, friendly guy. I like how he calls back and explains my results and asks if i have any questions nicely all the time.
I went there a couple times for a checkup i needed to do, and on my last checkup i requested to have a physical as well for work. I’ve always thought his assistants were alright, never had problems with them until that visit.
Long story short, his assistants aren’t very good at explaining stuff AND updating stuff, also they never gets back to me whenever they say they would.
During my last visit i asked them to have the doc sign and send the form i brought over after they got the results back. They did not. When i called to check and they said that i didn’t update my address, which i did while ago (but i couldn’t prove that could i? since it’s a he say she say situation). Needless to say… i probably wouldn’t be going back unless i need to.

I needed a procedure done and my insurance covers it but because the doctor wasn’t going to get enough money from it. He wanted cash instead. This was a horrible experience, saddens me because I liked this doctor but he will no longer be the doctor for me. I have health insurance for a reason!

This place gets pretty busy. Make an appointment and arrive early. Parking is available behind the office. It’s very important that I’m comfortable with my doctor so that I’m able to tell/​ask him any concerns/​questions I have. My relationship with this doctor is exactly that.

Dr. Khang has been my general practitioner for the past 3 years. There is a private parking lot in the back so no having to deal with parking structures if you are running late. It is always busy so make an appointment. But for emergencies he does accept walk ins which I have done before but be prepared to wait. With an appointment your average wait time is about 10 – 15 mins. But once you are in the office with him You never feel rushed. He always takes his time to make sure you understand everything that is going on and answers as many questions as you have. The girls in the front office i would rate about 3.5 stars. But dr. Kang gets the full 5 stars. Like all the other reviews have said He really does generally care about his patients. He is one of the bests.

Dr. Kang is everything you want to see when meeting a doctor. Very knowledgeable, personable, and like others have said, you truly get the feeling that he cares about all of his patients and their well-​being.
The nurses in front were dealing with a rather rambunctious elderly woman in the lobby when I arrived who wanted meds, I believe, and over the course of a ~1 hour stay were still pleasant to deal with (I felt really sympathetic for them at the time haha).
Came in for a check-​up/​blood test and he made me feel at ease. Thanks Dr. Kang and nurse crew!

I went there because I got little bumps on my left inner thigh. Well, he seemed very friendly, however he gave me wrong diagnosis and wrong medication. After I went to doc, I took the antibiotic and it got worse so I called. They said I still have to take it for two more days and see how it goes. Day after day, all the rashes and little bumps spread all over my body and I ended up checking in ER. How stupid is that? I know ppl make mistake but when it comes with taking a risk of someone’s life, that is not cool. It’s really hard to find a real doctor in LA.

Dr. Kang is my «go to» doctor for any ailments I develop from a nasty cough to cysts that need surgical removal. As busy as he is he takes the time out to answer all of my questions. His clinic is small but it seems like hes running a whole hospital.
Caring and honest. What more do you need in a doctor?

Dr Kang is one in a Million. He is the best general P I’ve ever had. truly listens and care for your well being. been going for 3 years and don’t ever want to change!

I began going to Dr. Kang based off of Unilocal reviews! I’m new to the downtown area, ex-​pat of the San Gabriel Valley, and needed a new doc.
What I love about Dr. Kang is that once he’s in the room with you, he gives you his full attention, and thoroughly answers all of your questions, and even goes online to show you examples of what he’s talking about.
He’s very knowledgeable, very patient, and you just get the feeling that he truly cares, which is why I keep going back.
Went there for my third time just on Monday, and he remember who I was, why I was there last time, and a convo we had off the record.
So, I highly recommend him.

Dr kang is amazing. His patience to share all the information is admirable. I’ve learnt so much about health and how to take care of myself better from him.
Such a friendly gentleman and awesome doctor!!!

Inspite of the the good Dr Kang, I am giving 3 because of the front office. I’ve never experienced such a rude, bashing front office 5 times in a row. I am not writing this after just 1 encounter, but after multiple encounters with front office. That lady just doesn’t get customer service at all. First of all, when you try to schedule an appointment it appears she’s bent on making it hard for you. She needs to know what exact illness you have even if your not comfortable sharing that.
Then she’ll ask you persistently if your going to take a blood test, I thought the Dr is going to decide that. But she just doesn’t get it.
Thirdly, after I saw the doctor and tried to follow up on my reports, either she’s lying or the doctor lied. Apparently it’ll take them more than a week to receive any report. She slammed the phone on me when I asked her to confirm.
Such persistent rudeness will only drive patients away. I wonder if that’s already happening since they are now closed on Saturdays.

I really recommend Dr. Kang. He really helped me and made me feel comfortable.
He knows what he is talking about and I trust everything he has told me. Super kind !
The receptionist was really nice too.

Dr. Kang is in a class all by himself. He is truly concerned about his patients and consistently provides excellent care. He is fluent in English, Korean and Spanish.
I have been a patient for nearly 10 years. It is always a pleasure to visit his offices. Everything is spotless, the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, and Dr. Kang is always eager to address any medical issues.
Dr. Kang is the only medical doctor I know who takes such ample time with his patients. I have never felt rushed, even when the waiting room is full. On the contrary, Dr. Kang and his staff make you feel a home.
Dr. Kang has impeccable bedside manners. I believe he would make a fortune teaching people skills to other doctors. Dr. Kang is simply a class act.
In a world where humanity and humility are often rare, Dr. Kang possesses huge doses of both. He is a remarkable human being capable of connecting with patients on many levels. I recommend Dr. Kang without reservation.
Needless to say, please rest assured this review was not solicited by Dr. Kang or anyone from his office.

Dr. Kang no loner takes my insurance I will forever remember him. He really is a Doctor who comes around once in a lifetime. :(

Honestly in the past 3 months i went to see 3 different doctors before Dr. Kang and he was the only one that really seemed to care and actually listen to everything i had to say, I felt like he really understood my problem. He told me my options and was very thorough. He is the only doctor i will give 5 stars too, seriously the best doctor in LA. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Kang is truly the best doctor out there.
He saved my life a year ago when I got extremely sick. He made sure I was safe and comfortable every step of the way. Even after I had to be hospitalized, he made sure to stop by to see me and that I was taken care of. He is extremely committed to his patients and you can tell that he loves and was born to do what he does.
He is very thorough and always makes sure to explain everything. If you have questions don’t hesitate to ask.
Both my mom and I have referred many people and everyone says the same thing. He is the greatest ! :)
The staff at his office are also very nice and helpful.
If you are in need of a committed, professional, awesome doctor you should visit Dr. Kang’s office!

This place is truly as good as it gets.
Dr. Kang is great with patients and really makes you feel like he’s YOUR doctor.
I went in because I had a sever cough for about a month. I was coughing so hard that I was vomiting and was waking up on pile of sweat. Dr. Kang told me all the possible causes of the sever cough that I could have and took the time to explain to me why he ruled out most of them and narrowed it down to a whooping cough. I went into his office as a whooping cougher and came out of his office as an expert in coughs… lol
He gave me an Rx for some antibiotics and we scheduled for a meeting 2 weeks later.
After few days of antibiotics, my cough was pretty much gone and I was able to speak without coughing every time after. I was not charged for my second visit which I’ve not experience before with other places.
Dr. Kang can also speak FLUENT English, Korean and Spanish so he doesn’t discriminate. hahaha
I recommended this place to my mom. Now, if anyone recommends a place to their mom?! That’s gotta mean something.

I’m giving this doctor 5 stars, because I truly do think he deserves it.
The facility was a bit sketchy because there are wires outside and its on the corner of 8^th and Westmoreland. However, the doctor and I had communicated and he is sincerely honest and does not push anything on you. He explained thoroughly my condition and showed pictures from books and was in depth. That was the seal of approval!
The visit itself was $ 80, but he gave me all the comfort I needed.
If you need a doctor, go to Dr. Kang. Friendly staff and very welcoming. Its best to make an appointment, because walk-​ins can wait up to 2 hours. So make that appointment in advance to save you time. The inside office is better than the outside, so don’t just go on appearance. That’s not the medical way!~
