Dr Wong was friendly, but was in quite a rush. We looked at my x-rays and he asked lots of questions, so it was a thorough exam, but I felt like I needed to hurry so he could get back to more important patients.

I have been seen over a few years for multiple issues and each time the treatment I received resolved the issue.

Dr. Wong and his staff are all wonderful. He immediately knew what my issue was, sent me for testing, got back to me same day and helped me resolve my pain before my long trip to Europe. There is no way another doctor’s office would have accomplish…
