I was impressed with the attention to detail.
I had a great experience
I came for a second opinion and was really glad I did. Dr. Kong and staff were amazing. I felt more reassured after speaking to them. I'm making it thru the binder which is so helpful.
Dr Kong was everything I could hope for in a doctor- professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. She took time to connect with me, share treatment options and made me feel I was important to her. The team reflected this type of leadership. Outstanding!!!
Dr Kong greeted us as if we had known her for years. She went above and beyond to make scheduling simple. I left feeling well informed and that I will be in good hands during my upcoming procedure.

Dr. Kong was wonderful. She took her time with me, and did not rush through my visi. She also answered all me questions. I feel she genuinely cares about me as a person/patient and went out of her way to arrange an appt with her colleague to see me sooner due to the urgency of the problem.
The entire staff was courteous and enthusiastic. Both Dr. Kong and the doctor attending with her thorough in their examination and remarks.
