Dr. Fong took the time to thoroughly examine & interview me regarding my sleep problems & suspected sleep apnea. She was extremely detailed explaining everything about sleep apnea & testing. Her excellent written instructions were also very precise & detailed. She's really nice, very patient & makes everything easy to understand, which makes a great doctor. And she's obviously an expert in her sleep specialty & and an exceptional doctor.
