Dr. Barbara Shang, M.D.
15785 Laguna Canyon Rd Ste 350,
Irvine, CA

Over the last 17 years I have seen Dr. Barbara Shang for myself, for my son (who started wearing glasses very early), and at some point my wife also needed Dr. Shang's outstanding expertise and care. In brief, all my family members have been seen by Dr. Shang. I started having some challenges with astigmatism back in 2008, and since I write and read a lot (interacting with the computer screen included), I need accuracy in measuring prescriptions for my glasses. Dr.Shang helped me so much over the last 17 years that I could with my whole heart say her work contributed much to my professional and personal success, as well as to the health of all my family members. I respect a lot Dr. Shang's professional expertise and her superb care for details. I strongly recommend her work to anyone who looks for an outstanding specialist.

Dr. Barbara Shang is the best doctor that I have ever seen!!! A friend recommended that I see her for a second opinion for my condition and I am so happy that I took her advice. My original doctor told me that I had a minor cyst and that nothing needed to be done. However, it turned out that my condition was more serious than what the original doctor stated. Dr. Shang took the time to thoughtfully explain what was happening unlike any other doctors that I had encountered before. She was very caring, gentle, and patient every step of the way with all of my questions and concerns. After, I was referred to a surgeon and Dr. Shang followed up with the the surgeon to review the biopsy. Even after the surgery, she called me every step of the way to explain what was going on and she answered all of the questions that I had. I never received this kind of attentive care from any of the doctors that I had in the past. She will be our family doctor for all the members of my family going forward.

As another physician, I was referred to Dr. Shang by other physicians. I was truly puzzled when I pulled up her website for locations and found one website that seemed false. It had very negative comments and it seemed very vindictive. After contacting other physicians, I found it was a fraudulent website created by a patient. I reviewed Dr. Shang's credentials carefully and decided to go see her based on referrals from my colleagues. I have to admit I was a little nervous having read the fake website but Dr. Shang is the epitome of a caring and knowledgeable physician. She spent so much time with me on a detailed exam and explained my options for my reading issues. She is thorough and kind and I could tell kept up with current medical literature. Now I know why so many other physicians recommend her. I would advise any future patients to read about her on her website and to disregard the one created by someone who for what unknown reason dislikes her. I truly cannot imagine why anyone would dislike her from my interactions with her. I feel confident to recommend her to my patients and my family.
