Dr Vong is a Great Doctor, I am a returning patient. Overall he is very well mannered, listen to what your concerns are and also gives great advice on treatments moving fwd.
June 25, 2025Valerie H.Verified patient
Never seeing this doctor again. They told me I wasn’t on the schedule even though they called me to schedule for this slot. I waited about 2 hours just to have a 5 minute conversation, then they sent me to another place to schedule an MRI but the place needed them to give me a referral, which they didn’t. They didn’t answer the call from the MRI place and they shut the doors when I went back. I could hear people talking inside but they wouldn’t come to the door. I went in with excruciating back pain and left with nothing.

I saw him years ago and was upset that he no longer excepted my insurance. I now have one that he takes so I'm overjoyed that I can see him again.
My recent appointment had to be rescheduled.
