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.

I started seeing this doctor when I moved to Seattle. I had established, low-risk care for chronic inflammation and nerve problems since living on the east coast. After several appointments with Fong it's clear he lacks good, routine ongoing education about illness or medications. Thus, he prefers to send patients to specialists unnecessarily. At first I thought he simply disagreed with my established care plan. But it's obvious he is timid about being out of his depth. He is a dangerous doctor
