Dr. Huang took his time, I've never felt rushed with him. He asked me plenty of questions. And he is always so thoughtful and goes out of his way to make sure my son is comfortable. And not once have I ever felt like he didn't listen to my concerns or dismiss them. HE is what every Pediatriac doctor should be at Cook Children's.
