Dr. Wong is beyond exceptional.
Dr. Wong, although she has treated me professionally she's also felt like a friend and I have enjoyed the time that I have spent with her.
She is caring and gave me the time and input into my care. She has been a pleasure to work with and if I ever need her services again she will be the first I contact.
Very professional. A big difference from other doctors I have had is that Dr. Wong takes time to explain what she sees and probable future care, if needed. She explains the problem and probable care in a way that is easy to understand. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing wound and/or plastic surgery.
Her care is very professional and very caring. I am beyond words how fortunate I was put in her care.
Dr. Wong had the resident doctor do most of the work (diagnosis, injection), which was totally fine with me. Dr. Wong and I discussed today's treatment as well as possible follow-up visits.
Finally a Doctor who will take the time to fully describe, to our understanding, the current situation and probable future procedures.
