“Dr. Tong is extremely knowledgeable, direct, and precise. The entire experience from the initial intake through surgery was seamless. He explained everything clearly and made sure I understood what to expect at every stage. He even pushed back and resolved an insurance denial before I was aware of it, which says a lot about how much he advocates for his patients. The surgery experience and post-operative care were both excellent. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.”

The doctor was thorough in examining my issues in an initial consultation as well as submitting referral and prescription in very timely manner. Check with your insurance as the pricing may be a bit on the higher side for services, but I can understand based on the doctor's level of expertise / specialty.
