Getting to Know Dr. Wong

“I became a surgeon to help others. I like working with my hands and seeing immediate results. Patients feel better after their diseased gallbladder or appendix is removed.

“My patients appreciate how I explain the disease and solutions with language they understand. I believe the more patients understand, the more they can contribute to their own recovery. Medicine involves a team and the patient is the most important part of that team.”
