Surprisingly great experience, and I am hoping this continues.
Doctor Hwang is excellent. She is patient. Takes her time, listens and communicates at a level that is comfortable for a patient. She dug in to my medical history and ordered thorough lab work.
Dr Hwang is the best doctor I've ever had!
Felt valued and all of my concerns were answered
Good
She's great at patient inclusion
Considering I have minimal respect for many members of the medical community, Dr. Hwang has gained my confidence and admiration with her candor and concern for her patient(s), a trait many doctors should learn. Dr. Hwang is, indeed, an asset to the Emory medical staff.
It is Dr. Hwang, she is the best physician I have been with in 8 years. Very good to excellent.
She's the best
Excellent dialogue with provider
Good
Very perfect
My experience was good
The attention received is pleasant, especially in Spanish
My wife was very impressed with Dr Hwang
The doctor was very attentive and paid attention to me and my concerns, which were serious, better than she ever has. She had been facing her treatment of my depletion of estrogen from a hysterectomy, complete hysterectomy, including my uterus from a study that had been made 20 years ago, and who is no longer thought to be accurate. She was taking me off of estrogen which I have been taking since my hysterectomy in 1983. When she learned that the study that she had based her treatment on for the last 20 years was no longer considered valid, she spent the weekend studying the correct and recommended treatments and treated me appropriately. I commend her for being able to change her diagnosis and treatment after 20 years of usage. She apologized to me, which was quite amazing. I do believe she is a very good position.
Everyone and service was pleasant
Not warmI felt uncomfortable to shareEvery time she would ask me a question she had a look of are you telling the truth on her face. One of the concerns I had was in regard to a pain in my back. I left w/no resolution. I felt like her feathers were ruffled because I refused to take the vaccine and other shots offered. My original primary care left Emory and I got stuck with a random provider. I will never do this again ! I'm on the hunt for another primary care physician !
Dr. Lina Hwang's attentiveness to my Healthcare exhibited a genuine concern for my well-being.Her "bedside manner " approach is direct yet pleasant and professional, which I appreciate.
Good
Dr Hwang readily accepts my input.
Unlike my first visit 6 months ago, she seemed quite rushed this time. I felt the pressure to move very quickly through my questions so she could get on to her next appointment. Even though I sent my questions and topics 2 weeks in advance, she did not proactively bring them up as the visit began. I had to work through them one by one and then she finally went back and dug out the message I had sent her. She mentioned that there might not be enough time to talk about all the topics.
At Emory at Buford, they are all very friendly, respectful and they all do care about me . I'm the who's giving them a hard time!! ( joke,..Just want to make you smile)
One of the few members of the medical community that I RESPECT!!
Dr Lina Hwang is an excellent doctor.She listened & explained carefully about my care & concerns. She Is Very Professional, Compassionate, Thorough & doesn't rush out to the next patient.

Didn't provide information about my problem of previous visit to ER. Doctor seems to be a holistic type doctor. Holistic methods do not work for me. I did not tell her because I didn't want to disrespect her.
Dr. Hwang is very thorough and covers everything in her notes concerning my healthcare
She listens!
I had three separate issues, namely: a robotic heart bypass site from 3-weeks prior which needed Inspection, an Issue with a bacterial Infection on my lungs (both being Emory Issues) and a problem with vertigo (dizziness/nausea). All three Issues had been either Ignored or mis-diagnosed by my previous GP and why I needed a new one. This doctor seemed better able to serve my needs.
Dr Hwang is always patient and strives to address all my issues with an excellent explanation and reason on how to resolve them
Dr. Hwang is the best!
My physician has earned my respect and admiration, which is hard to do.
Excellent communication skills.

Good
The Dr was very professional, caring, thorough and communicative. I will recommend her to anyone looking for a good Dr.
The care was good but still too much focus on entering data in the application. I still have some doubt about how much my concerns were addressed. For instance, my blood pressure was elevated but there was no conversation about this. The carbon dioxide level in my blood was high but no conversation about this.
The doctor is excellent and very caring.
