Dr. Wong saved my life by performing emergency surgery at 5:00AM. My large intestine was twisted. He removed part of the intestine and part of the colon and glued me back together. I’ve had a fast and painless recovery thanks to his wonderful knowledge. If you ever have intestinal problems, be sure you see Dr. Wong. To me he is a miracle worker.

Dr. Wong performed an emergency Diagnostic laparoscopy on me May 15th at Saddleback Hospital. I was very nervous but he put me and my family at ease as he explained the procedure and answered all of our questions. He was extremely professional, courteous and after a successful surgery he checked in on me every day at the Hospital – and I was there 9 days. The follow up appointments at his office were also very easy and quick and he never made us feel rushed. I have already highly recommended Dr. Wong and will continue to do so.

Saddleback Memorial Medical 3/27/13 – Dr. Wong performed an emergency Laparoscopic Appendectomy on me, Wednesday morning. This was my first surgery and I was a little nervous. Dr. Wong explain the order of operations to me and made sure all of my questions were answered before the procedure began. Before the operation started, Dr. Wong personally called my wife and gave her an update. He also took time to answer her questions. After the procedure, Dr. Wong was there to check on me and let me know how things went. Dr. Wong communicated with my wife and me until I was released. He also personally called to check on me after being home for a few days. I can only assume that his level of professionalism and care are just as high for scheduled procedures. I appreciate Dr. Wong’s commitment and highly recommend him as a surgeon.

Dr. Wong was wonderful! He spent extra time to explain the details of my operation and really went out of his way to set me at ease.
