It was a present visit with Dr Fong. He listens to you carefully. Asks you questions about your symptoms. The process was quick but thorough. He gave me a sheet that explained my symptoms and how should I take care of it. He is much helpful then many other urgent care doctors I’ve seen. He is very good.

Was able to be seen relatively fast. Examined by Dr. Fong, who realized the potential seriousness of my condition and recommended going to an ER. It was good advice, and since the the ultimate result was 'negative,' it gave me piece of mind.

Great doctor! Following calls after your visit.
Verified patient
It was definitely the easiest doctor appointment I have ever made. I am usually unable to get a doctor appointment within a month, but Zocdoc got me a doctor appointment in the same day. And to top that off, it was with a great doctor who was very helpful. Doctor Fong was great! He asked me questions about how I was feeling and took everything I said into account and then decided the best treatment. I was grateful that he made sure to ask which medicines I am allergic to before prescribing me anything because I completely forgot to tell him. He put my prescription in and it was ready in like a half an hour. Literally the easiest and most effective doctor appointment I've ever had in my life. I will definitely be using Zocdoc from now on & I will probably return to Doctor Fong's if I have another issue.
Verified patient

I waited too long. That was the only thing about my visit. Besides that, the experience after the wait was very swift. The doctor was very hospitable and kind.
Verified patient
There was a little bit of a wait, but there wasn't really anything Dr. Fong or anyone at the office could have done about it. Otherwise, he was responsive and helpful. I would recommend.
Dr. Fong was extremely professional and courteous. He took the time to be certain I understood everything I wanted to know, and things I didn't think to ask about my symptoms and my medicine.
Verified patient
It took over 30 minutes to see the doctor and over the one hour period, his attention was distracted by other patients. I got the impression my son wasn't a priority patient. When he was present, he was pleasant and professional though.
Verified patient
Great doctor. Very thorough. Ran impromptu tests for strep. Appreciated his wisdom and bedside manners and highly friendly.I would return in the future if need be. 5/5.
Verified patient
I was seen without rush. The physician took time to examine and to walk me through some of the possible causes of my back pain. The medication helped and I was back on my feet the next day, even though I still have some recovering to do. Highly recommended!
Nice doctor but a long wait -- I understand there was a high amount of people but not exactly how I wanted to spend my weekend day.
Verified patient
The doctor really knows his stuff. He is thorough, and explained the reasoning for his treatment, I will definitely be returning if I have any other medical needs.
I was very happy with my visit. Dr. Fong is very thorough and he takes his time speaking with you, which is rare to find these days. Did not have to wait and the office staff is very friendly and helpful.
I will likely be returning for any medical needs that I might have and recommend your office to family and friends. The staff was professional, welcoming and informative.
