Philosophy of Care

“I became a surgeon to help others. I like working with my hands and seeing immediate results. Patients feel better after their diseased gallbladder or appendix is removed.

“My patients appreciate how I explain the disease and solutions with language they understand. I believe the more patients understand, the more they can contribute to their own recovery. Medicine involves a team and the patient is the most important part of that team.”

Dr. Wong was very sympathetic and knowledgeable. It was the first time I met her, but I felt like I had been coming to her for years. Looking forward to my surgery with her.

Dr. Wong saw me immediately at my primary doctor's request. So I had to wait a little bit, but I didn't mind. She was warm, reassuring, appropriately, and we had a plan. When I walked out of that office, we had a plan, and I appreciate everything she did. One of the things I asked my primary, is she nice, and is she good? And he said yes to both, that he had his own surgery performed by Dr. Wong. I felt very comfortable and I'm grateful that I was hooked up with her. Thank you.

Dr. Wong is a wonderful surgeon and doctor. She took the time with me. She was very thorough, understanding, compassionate, but above all, a true medical professional. My surgery went incredibly well, and I owe it all to Dr. Wong. I believe she is a tremendously talented surgeon, and I believe that her aftercare instructions were phenomenal. Very impressed with the care from Dr. Wong.

I'm very, very satisfied to see that Dr. Wong, it was a very nice doctor, spent time with me, listened to me, and explained very well whatever has to be done. I appreciate it very much. Thank you so much.

Dr. Wong is an excellent person who is a delight and is clearly highly competent and gifted. I feel very lucky to have been treated by her.
