Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Loved Dr Tong and her staff. Dr Tong is so through, she explained everything , she is so knowledgeable. The staff was great!

Very comprehensive, not one to dole out meds easily. Sent me ton2 other specialist and coorosponded with both on a timely basis. Wait time is not the best but spends allot of time with me when she sees me. Has been spot on with diagnosis where other internist have failed. Patient easy to discuss issues, explained in laymen terms.

Dr. Tong is a very caring and most competent doctor. She never rushes you and focuses on what you are telling her. She views and treats you as a whole person, mind and body. DIANE

Wait time is about 1 hour. Unable to get results of EKG for 4 weeks following sudden change in blood pressure and new irregular heart rate; told by office staff "these can take a long time to come in." Messages/emails to doctor go unanswered. Doctor gives new instructions inconsistent with current medications and prior instructions. My family adored this physician when we joined her practice. As the practice has grown she has proven her inability to effectively manage a stand-alone practice.

I've always had to wait too long but today I got there when they opened, 8:30 with srep throat , miserable. I waited an hour and 15 min, threw up still waited as she talked to a drug rep. I asked if I could leave and they could call me in something. They said yes. It's 1:30, I can't swallow I've called 3 times. Last time the girl answered and said she was at lunch. 10 minutes after they say their lunch is over. Nothing called in yet.

Had recent double mastectomy - called on Saturday for sleep aid (never requested anything before). Would NOT provide without an appointment. Primary care doctor is supposed to care.

Dr. Tong is our general practitioner! She has been a blessing to us. She is caring persistent, follows up, and comes to visit her patients in the hospital even if they are under different doctor's care!! She listens, and never rushes you through a visit. When I needed her, even though she did not have an open spot, she made time to see me and help me with my problem!She is very thorough and tries to help with any problem you have. We trust her and highly recommend her!
