Patient Reviews
Jun 08, 2024
Dr Wei had done a lung biopsy in early May. Prior to the procedure the procedure was explained to me very well and what to expect after surgery. Not only was Dr Wei knowledgeable and professional so was his staff. For anyone that needs a lung biopsy done I highly recommend Dr Wei. I cannot express how grateful and appreciative I am for his professionalism in helping to make the best decision for my circumstances.
