Patient Reviews
Jul 21, 2017
Dr. Ching has been my trusted cardiologist in Pasadena for over 20 years. I never would have changed physicians but for his move to San Francisco. Dr. Ching is a brilliant clinician, listens carefully to concerns, takes time to answer questions, and responds to messages promptly. His advanced medical knowledge into the latest cutting edge procedures and treatment options are evident during patient consults, giving him a wealth of information to make an informed decision that is best for me.
