Patient Reviews
May 26, 2022
Dr. Tong saved my life by doggedly asking a million questions and keeping all the weird pieces of my health suspended like puzzle pieces in the air until they fell into a constellation that fit my very rare disease. (Most people have to wait 6 years to get a diagnosis for this disease, and in that time, you lose a lot.) I was able to have a pretty normal life with a really serious disease because she caught it before it did its damage. You can complain about her slow office, her soft voice or whatever, but this woman is brilliant and diligent and the person you want to see when you know something is wrong with you, but it's vague and you are written off by others. She will leave no stone unturned in caring for you.
