Dr. Tong called and spoke to me personally before my appointment. That was a very reassuring and important gesture in building paintent/doctor trust. i found him to be both knowledgeable and attentive. I feel fortunate to have found Dr. Tong as a needed pain specialist.

Such a sweet understanding doctor. Wish there were more like him. It's nice to see a doctor that puts the person before the paycheck.

I did a tele health appt with Dr. Tong. I had some issues with technology initially, but he was so patient and didn’t seem annoyed to help me work through it. I have nerve damage that is causing a lot of pain, being in my mid 30’s and an athlete this is extremely scary. He was compassionate and he listened to me describe what was going on. I have to go for some diagnostic work, but I am happy I found him through Zocdoc as this will be a long road for me.
