Dr Wong has been my doctor for the last 40 some yrs and he saved my life quite a few times in all these years. He ordered X-ray and acted promptly calling paramedics when he noticed I was having shortness of breath and back pain I believe this was the 3rd time I went to his office for breathing problems and landed in a hospital. Very compassionate/knowledgeable/kind doctor. His staff are very helpful and efficient.

He's a skilled physician with a lot of knowledge and experience, who is not afraid to show that he's also a human. He listens actively. He remembers significant moments about our shared history. He cares about me, and the feeling is mutual. He doesn't try to fit my square peg into a round hole. He approaches care as a collaboration - informed by his knowledge of the practice of medicine and of medications, and my knowledge of my body and what changes in routine will and won't work for me at this juncture. Even though I currently am well enough to see Dr. Wong only once per year, it is a comfort knowing that he's there if I need him.

He was very nice and let me look at the CT scan with him and explained what he sees. He put the CT from last year and compared it with the present CT. He listens at my back and told me what he heard. Then he discussed what he plans to do ; the medications and when he wants me to come back. I am very satisfied.

Dr. Wong treated me several years ago while I was experiencing similar symptoms as today. He is such a knowledgeable and understanding doctor!

He is thorough. He asks the questions to treat my whole person and not just what I came in for. When you leave you feel safe and you will get better. He is fantastic.

I met with Dr. Brian Wong for the first time today. He was very professional and took all the time he needed to diagnose my lung disorder. I was very impressed with the questions he asked me and how easy it was to understand him. I look forward to seeing Dr. WONG in a month to see the results of the medication that he prescribed for me.

Didn’t have an issue, just needed prescription refill, but we had a small conversation about my health and he checked my lungs and said I had no new problems. He said to come back in a year unless something changes. Very friendly doctor.
