He administered the cortisone shot and clearly explained how to care for myself afterward. He used simple, easy-to-understand language so everything made sense. I will definitely see him again if I need to return for care.

Dr. Fang examined my recent surgery and discussed I'm detail what may be a next step for me. He expertly and quickly removed some remaining staples and redressed my wound all the while discussing my case and answering my questions and concerns. He cleared me to take showers again. He totally knew the status of my case and said he would coordinate with Dr. Morris on my next needed surgery. I left feeling reassured about everything and thankful for the Emory team.

Dr. Fang examined my recent split-skin graft. He was very reassuring as to the progress and gave me clear advice on what to do in the coming months. I have been very happy with the results of both Dr. Fang's split skin graft surgery and Dr. Morris's initial tumor removal surgery. Emory has a gifted surgery team.

Dr. Fang is a skilled plastic surgeon, good listener and communicates well the surgical procedure and plans for recovery. He coordinates with Melissa Tober, OT, who crafts splints that are comfortable yet protective, giving quality of life during the recovery period.
