Dr. Richard C. Smith, MD 27401 West State Route 22, Barrington, IL 60010

"Dr. Kang is wonderful. He repaired my daughter's ACL tear and she is back to playing lacrosse. He did an excellent job. He is very professional, calm and puts you at ease. He takes time to discuss your situation, explain the surgery, what to expect afterward, and answers every single question you have. He never rushes his appointments. Even the nurses love working with him in surgery because he puts everyone at ease in the operating room. I highly recommend him for any sports-related surgeries."

"Dr. Kang did my son’s knee surgery. He has a phenomenal bedside manner, made the plan of care well understood, and the surgery with recovery went as he expected. Dr Kang has a well constructed rehab plan that allow my son to return to playing soccer! Office staff is always helpful, courteous and prompt. Highly recommended!"

"Dr. Kang performed my ACL and meniscus reconstruction surgery in March of 2018. He is an excellent surgeon, and I have had no problems since then with knee pain or anything of that sort. I am a soccer and track athlete, so to be able to run and compete pain free is amazing! He is also very good at responding to emails (always within the day) and really cares about how you're doing post-surgery."

"Dr.Kang did a great job repairing my hamstring. He was thorough and never rushed through an appointment. I always was able to ask plenty of questions. He was attentive to my needs and behaviors as a midlife distance runner, and coached me through recovery accordingly. He even ensured the substantial scar was situated in a most discreet way so as to be unnoticeable to the casual observer. I had complications not specifically related to the repair, but Dr. Kang managed those conservatively to recovery and helped me maintain an positive outlook. His PA, Theresa, is wonderful. She’s caring, thoughtful, helpful and personable all while also being professional. I’m now midway through my PT protocol towards getting back to full sport and feeling stronger every day."

"I cannot give enough positive feedback for Dr. Kang and his staff. Dr. Kang is simply amazing! He made sure I knew exactly what my surgery would entail and takes his time explaining updates at each appointment. He is super knowledge and really makes you feel comfortable. I would HIGHLY recommend him to EVERYONE! I was pain free the next day after my hip surgery!! AMAZING!"
