"Somehow an appointment was set up with Dr Kang instead of Dr Kim of the same office. I visited Dr Kim 5 years ago for tests, with a good outcome, so again I found it needful to see a gastroenterologist so my primary care Dr Lee gave me a referral and I’m not sure if I gave him the wrong name or did Dr Lee write down Dr Kang on the referral paper? It doesn’t matter, Dr Kang and I are satisfied and Issaquah is closer for me to drive, so it was a happy accident and I’m satisfied with Dr Kang friendly and approachable manner. My husband and I both think he meets and exceeds our expectations."

I would recommend without hesitation."
"Thanks Dr. Kang. He absolutely is a very experience doctor. He explained very well my procedure results and very professional. Thank you again."
"This is my second time around with Wagi and Dr. Kang. From check-in to check-out EVERYONE was professional, courteous and fun. Yes, fun. Dr. Kang even allowed me to chuckle up the folks in the procedure room. A good time was had by all. No issues before, during or after my procedure. I highly recommend the folks at Wagi."

"Good people, nice facility, well run. Dr. Kang has a light-hearted, yet caring and professional touch that's much appreciated."
"Had both endoscopy and colonoscopy at this facility, everything was well planned and the doctor and nurses are excellent, the preparation instruction is well written, easy to follow, and also they sent you a link where you can go watch a video to see how to prepare for the procedure. Everyone is gentle and patient. They also call you after the procedure to see how you doing and if you have any questions. Wish every clinic and hospital operating like this. Thank you everyone."
"Eastside Endoscopy Center uses the right anesthesia for this procedure: I remembered nothing, it was over before I even knew it, and I was not groggy afterwards. Results were immediate. (I think it's important to talk to your doctor before choosing a provider for a colonoscopy. Some use "conscious sedation," meaning you may experience brief periods of consciousness during this procedure. I don't know about you, but that is not what I wanted. Waking up during a colonoscopy is not fun.) Eastside Endoscopy Center staff and Dr. Kang were awesome and professional and I could not be more pleased."
"The bark is worse than the bite is definitely valid here. While there are many notions and fears about the process of a colonoscopy, Dr. Kang and the entire team do an amazing job of making the process easy from start to end. Could not be more impressed."
"Great patient care. They took great care to ensure I had a clear understanding of everything that was going to happen and what to expect."
