Patient Reviews
Sep 16, 2024
Dr. Wong corrected a years long mistake in diagnosing the size of my minengioma. Spoke to me and my husband clearly. That’s an important word. He made sure we understood the way this complex tumor behaved and told us the options. He has been inside my head 3 times and I wouldn’t trust anyone else.
