"Dr Kang is the best doctor I have ever had! He takes his time with you and makes you feel taken care of. I’ve issues with IBS since I was a teen. He answered all my questions and gave me advises how to overcome my symptoms. He is a very knowledgeable, patient, friendly and easily approachable. I’m so happy I found the right GI Dr and clinic. His staffs are also nice. Highly recommend for GI Dr. 😊"
"Dr. Kang was very meticulous and thoughtful regarding my particular situation. He studied my chart and took the time to explain how to proceed, which I greatly appreciated. The rest of the staff I interacted with were equally thoughtful and accommodating. I highly recommend Dr. Kang and his team!!"
"Absolutely outstanding. I've had 3 or 4 colonoscopies now all with different providers at different locations and Dr. Kang was so incredibly kind. The most comfortable experience I have ever had when dealing with this stuff. I highly highly recommend seeing Dr. Kang and his team."
"Absolutely wonderful staff and provider, my experience was top notch, will recommend this doctor and facility to everyone that should need a referral."
"When you schedule a colonoscopy and endoscopy your mind immediately goes to the worst possible place on how it will go. Dr Kang and his team made the entire procedure effortless and comfortable. I woke up from the procedure and didn’t even know anything had happened. Glad I don’t need to go back for 10 yrs but when I need get one done again they will be who I call."
"Dr Kang is the best doctor I have ever had! He takes his time with you, treats you like a person, and makes you feel taken care of.

This was one of the very best consultations I’ve ever had with a doctor, among many very good ones over the years."
"I have used Dr Kange for several years and have found the staff to be friendly and knowledgeable. Dr Kange is very engaging always willing to answer all my questions. A very reputable organization and doctor whom I recommend highly"
"Hoping an external scan will soon be developed to render the cleansing process unnecessary!! Staff was pleasant & clearly well trained. Advance written prep instructions were at odds with the prep mix that arrived in the mail. Very confusing. Art Eash"

Dr Kang has a sense of humor and a personality that reflects a desire to communicate on a conversational level."

"Kelle Kang has been one of my specialty Doctors for over 35 years. Any time I have a question that concerns my Gastric issues, he is the first person I go to, even though I am told he is not available to see me. He always gets back to me with an answer to the question, often after hours. I would highly recommend him."

"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."
"You couldn’t ask for more personable doctor. A great diagnostician who knows the questions to ask and tests to order to get life back to normal quickly. I would look forward to seeing Dr. Kang again if needed."
"I got to Dr. Kang thanks to good reviews I read, so I wanted to help others who are in need. I am so happy with my selection! I was very impressed with Dr. Kang and his team. All were very nice and very professional. Considering the unpleasant procedure (colonoscopy), it went as best as I could hope for. I didn't feel a thing and no post procedure problems whatsoever. I would recommend without hesitation."
"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."
"The care provided by everyone for this less than fun procedure was great. From the prep team to the anesthetist to the doctor I felt at ease. This will be my new digestive care home."
"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."
"Dr. Kang is hilarious but kind and highly supportive. He and his staff were extremely caring and answered all my questions. He is hands down my favorite gastro I have ever had and I have had many."
"Dr. Kang is an excellent doctor and the clinic staff are excellent people, nice, kind, caring and knowledgeable! I have done colonoscopy exams three times there and I am happy to have selected a good doctor and good clinic!"
"Friendly and caring staff. Explained everything I needed to know for before and after the procedure. They followed up with a call to check on how I was doing."
