“I like the iffice staff, the PA assistant and Dr. Hong and the lab person. My pet peeve was that all the paperwork I filled out online had to be redone in the office because they did not receive it. Plus, the appt time had to be changed because ZocDic did not have Dr. Hong's schedule right. ”

He was the best doctor I've ever seen in my life. He listened to me go on and on with my medical history, has an excellent sense of humor, in my opinion, he has vast knowledge of his specialty and people person. I would love to have him as my primary doctor.
Verified patient
Dr. Hong is one of the nicest, most professional, most thorough Dr's I have ever met. He took his time, did not rush the appt, explained every single possibility in detail, ordered complete tests and was very open minded and positive. I truly wish more Dr's had the same professionalism, and bedside manner as Dr Hong.
