He was able to clean the ear with his special tools for working in very small spaces and took care of this with ease. While there, I asked him about the possibility of correcting my puffy and enlarged earlobes due to aging and enlargement, plus the now tender 40-yr-old piercings. In both cases Dr. Wang was friendly and approachable, thoughtful and insightful as he offered his advice regarding my ear lobes. Bottom line: I agreed to the plastic surgery for which his nurse, Victoria Klonis RN, handled all the details and answered all of my questions. The procedure was performed at Northwestern Medicine Streeterville in early March. He and his colleague, Dr. Gill, were a wonderful team. Dr. Wang explained every step of the process and I was intrigued as I heard each as they worked together. Afterwards, Dr. Wang was most thoughtful and suggested that I return to the NU Medicine downtown Evanston (where we live) to have the sutures removed, and Victoria made the arrangements. The removal required great delicacy and the work was careful and smooth. Afterwards, Dr. Wang examined the work and was delighted with the results-- as was I: perfectly sized and even, a natural fit for my face. I will return in 3-4 months. In short, I was extremely pleased by Dr. Wang's care and engagement with my needs. I highly recommend Dr. Wang for any type of plastic surgery. read less
