I recommend Dr. Dong to anyone seeking direct primary care with a comprehensive, respectful, and holistic approach. Dr. Dong has been a listening ear and has helped provide referrals for support outside of her scope of work while respecting different approaches to treatment based on my health history and preferences as a patient with a complex chronic illness case. She has also been incredibly generous and understanding in managing unprecedented circumstances affecting my ability to receive care.

On the advice of a physician friend, I sought out Dr. Dong last month to help me understand and begin to address some confusing and anxiety-provoking health issues. I had been feeling lost about how to approach them, and so had been letting them linger unaddressed.
I have had two office visits, a phone consultation, and multiple text interactions with Dr. Dong (the practice’s texting app is great). The phone consultation was on the day after Thanksgiving, which I genuinely appreciated. Dr. Dong is very knowledgeable, caring, and easy to talk to. Everything has been unhurried.
With Dr. Dong’s help, I have been able to create a care plan and navigate specialist appointments as an informed patient, capable of asking the correct questions and requesting the correct testing and procedures. It has been like having a knowledgeable guide on my shoulder—someone who is entirely in my corner.
Highly recommended.????????????????

I just had my first visit with Dr. Jennifer Dong at Portola direct primary care. The whole experience was wonderful. I was greeted warmly by Dr. Dong when I walked in the door. The office space feels very comfortable and safe. Dr. Dong put me at ease with her authentic and caring approach. I am a physician myself and have been looking for a doctor like her for a long time. I highly recommend Dr. Dong and Portola direct primary care if you are looking for her a healthcare experience where you will truly be cared for.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Dong. From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative and responsive, even before my appointment. During my visit, she took the time to listen carefully to all of my concerns and performed a very thorough physical and checkup. I never felt rushed or dismissed, she was warm, professional and made sure to explain everything clearly. I can tell that Dr. Dong genuinely cares about her patients and their overall well-being. I left my appointment feeling confident and well cared for. I’m truly grateful to have her as my primary care provider.

For fifteen years Dr D was my PCP. If it made sense, I would have followed her out west. She is caring, thorough and informed, as well as being a very good listener. I wish her the best, but mostly I envy anyone lucky enough to have her as their medical professional.

During our visits she would display professionalism. She has an unwavering ability showing true commitment in insuring the best outcome for my care. She was patient answering all of my questions and concern's. Taking time to explain clearly what was going on and what my options . Her exceptional manner in how she connected with me was refreshing.

Amazing experience
MJVerified patient
Dr. Dong has been my GP for more than 10 years and i wouldn’t have had it any other way. She’s highly respected in New York City where I first met her.
Dr.Dong has always been caring, resourceful, respectful and kind. She even would check-up on me even if I didn’t have an appointment - that’s the kind of person she is.
NHVerified patient
Dr. Dong is an exceptionally attentive listener. She pays close attention to every detail I share and skillfully gathers the information to determine the most effective treatment and accurate diagnosis. It is essential for me to choose a doctor whom I can trust and openly discuss all my concerns. Dr. Dong has provided me with everything I needed. She is the best doctor I have ever had.
