Dr. Kang’s Inspiration for WellBe Senior Medical

My mother died 10 years ago of esophageal cancer at the age of 86.  She was a kind woman and loved life. She was strong and made it through many of life’s ups and downs. She lived through three previous cancer diagnoses, and this last one finally caught up with her.

Through her last six months, I would see her at home and in the hospital.  She had her own oncologist and her own primary care doctor, but as a doctor myself, I spent a lot of time taking care of her and ensuring that she understood the endless tests, drugs, and treatment options that filled her days. As so many caregivers do, I guided her through the many difficult decisions she had to make and was fortunate to have deep knowledge of her condition and options. I was both her son and her trusted, personal physician, Dr. Marcus Welby. As I spoke with other clinician friends about caring for their families, I heard over and over how fortunate they felt to be able to provide their loved ones with the care they believed was so important to better health. It showed me how important it is to have someone you trust visit you in your home or anywhere you are, whenever you need it.  It inspired me to create WellBe, and it’s what we are all about – because we believe every person, every patient, should have a Dr. Marcus WellBe in the family – a doctor, a friend, they trust to take care of them where and when they need it.
