Dr Hong can impress everyone with his knowledge and expertise of medicine but what makes Dr Hong so special is that he can and will evaluate any possible avenues to help his patients. Also his easy to talk approach and "translation of medical language to English language" is amazing and so much needed for a struggling, depressed patient. Dr Hong gained our trust from the very first visit.

Everyone at the facility is wonderful to the people that coming and leaving. They treat you with with care. I just don't like it when my provider is a hour late when I see him.
