My journey into pediatrics started early, shaped by having a father who was a pediatrician and growing up in a close-knit small town in southern Alabama. But perhaps most importantly, in today's world, children constantly remind me to find joy and happiness in every moment, and they help me stay grounded in my most important duty as a doctor: to remain empathetic.
I've had the privilege of calling many places home. I grew up in Alabama, went to college at Emory University in Georgia, and then took a leap across the world to attend medical school at Kasturba Medical College, Manipal University in India. My residency brought me back to familiar territory at the University of South Alabama, where I further honed my skills in pediatrics. After spending four years in New Jersey, I am now excited to be back in the South, where my journey began, and to build lasting relationships with the families I care for, while also establishing a new home.
In my practice, I see myself as a confidant for your family. It's important to me that our relationship is built on trust, communication, and collaboration. Just like a family member, I hope to have open discussions, always be easily accessible, and work with you to find solutions that are best for your children.
When I can find some free time, I'm either tending to my plants, enjoying the timeless sounds of my favorite classic rock musicians, or tinkering with the newest tech gadgets. I also love exploring new restaurants and different cuisines, always eager to try something new. If you have any favorite spots, I'd love to hear about them!
I look forward to becoming a part of your family's journey, sharing in the joys, challenges, and milestones that lie ahead. I'm excited to work with you to keep your children healthy and happy, and I can't wait to see you in the office!

The reception staff was the nicest I think I've ever dealt with. I have 3 kids, 2 have a history of health problems. So we have seen lots of receptionist. This was the first time ever that we were greeted with such happiness and helpfulness. We are brand new, so I needed help with things and they were all beyond friendly and helpful! The Dr and his nurse were also great! Very happy we found this location.

Dr. Bang has been incredibly helpful in diagnosing the root cause of the issue, guiding us with exceptional professionalism and expertise. Thanks to his insightful recommendations and treatment, my child recovered quickly. I am truly grateful for the care and support we received during checkup, and I was especially impressed by Dr. Bang's dedication.,he personally called twice after our visit to check on my child's condition and ensure everything was improving. I highly recommend Dr. Bang to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate doctor who genuinely cares for his patients and delivers the highest level of care.

When we were checking out, the receptionist was so kind to myself and [...]. She could tell that [...] had been crying and helped console him by giving him a toy which he has not put down since!

Dr. Bang was so attentive to my concerns for [...] and went above and beyond to make sure he was cared for. He was kind and made access to care and options for [...] easy, understandable, and offered a variety of solutions. Dr. Bang asked me several times how he could help [...] further or if I had any other concerns he could address/navigate.
