Kathy Chuang

Really does not answer questions nor describe diagnosis in layman’s terms. Also no on hands assessment of physical changes related to condition

REFERRED BY MY PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN

Makes observations that are superficial, repetitive and irrelevant. Sadly manifests a lack of professional knowledge that should be fundamental.

Dr Kathy Chuang facilitated at EMG at MGH to uncover an issue of numbness and partial paralysis of my left hand following full shoulder replacement surgery 6 weeks ago. I found her to be very informative through every step of the 45 minute process. In general terms she explained everything she was seeing and left me with a great sense that I had an incredibly capable medical professional handling my case that up until her exam had been personally very disruptive and troubling. In an age when its easy to feel that individually we are just part of the masses she left me feeling that she truly cared about me and brought her best knowledge and experience to my issue. I wait in great anticipation for her final EMG report regarding my hand and my neurosurgeon's recommendation on how to proceed to gain a return (I hope) to full functionality of my hand.

Not a good experience with Dr. Chuang. Demonstrated skepticism of pain symptoms rather than curiosity about an unusual case. Over-relies on the likelihood that a case is typical, not allowing for possibility that an individual might have an outlier or mystery condition. Probably good if you have a typical presentation of a condition. Perhaps she will pick up new skills when she moves to MGH, where her new peer Dr. Oaklander is known to excel with atypical cases.

I saw Dr. Chuang when she was training under Dr. Anthony Amato at the Brigham. I liked her very much. Although I knew she was moving to MGH the next day (as her fellowship at the Brigham was over), she went above and beyond to help me resolve an issue I was having. She is brilliant, kind, friendly, and took excellent care of me.

Dr. Chuang is very knowledgeable and explains thing in a way that is easy to understand. She always takes the time to be sure I understand what medical terms that she is explaining to me. I could feel that she really cared about helping me. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for friendly, caring, smart, doctor which will do all she can to help you. She is excellent!
