When I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer I researched various breast surgeons at Stanford and in the PAMF system. I have found the PAMF doctors can be hit or miss, but I found an amazing breast surgeon so decided to go through the process in PAMF. I was "assigned" to Dr. Wong, but find myself very grateful and fortunate to have him as my doctor. He is kind and compassionate, but also very knowledgeable. He will take time to answer all your questions and I don't feel rushed, even though I know he has a tight schedule. I have full trust in his decisions and advice. I do question him each step of the way. He is so patient with his answers and willing to discuss various options. This is not a fun process, but I feel fortunate to have found such an amazing team of doctors.

After being diagnosed and treated for breast cancer in Europe, it was tough for me to find a new oncologist once we moved back to the United States. It was recommended that I start looking for a new oncologist at any of the Stanford facilities. After about 40 calls to doctors who weren't taking new patients, I feel so fortunate for finding Dr. Wong! From the first appointment, I was impressed with the level of detail and thoroughness of the exam. Dr. Wong asked questions and cared about the answers. He took time to explain some things that I didn't understand and outlined my way forward in a clear and concise way. It was hard for me to trust a new doctor after going on my cancer journey completely with a different doctor but I am completely confident in my health being in Dr.Wong's hands. The entire care team there make me feel comfortable and I highly recommend Dr. Wong and his team!

PAMF doctors can be hit or miss at times. I actually had a well-known oncologist and they kept making mistakes when reading my files. I had anxiety, would the next doctor treat me that way? Then I was referred to Dr. Wong, and I was so relieved. Dr. Wong is pragmatic, sincere, warm, and will sit and discuss the pros and cons of treatment as long as you want. I feel so fortunate to have a Dr. Wong as my oncologist, I have the upmost confidence that he is always looking out for my health.Recently, I was diagnosed with another disease and was lucky to be squeezed in to be seen by Dr. Wong. He took great care in explaining options and walking through the outcomes of the treatment. I feel so much more calmer by Dr. Wong helping me to weigh through a every treatment.Thank you so much, Dr Wong, you are an incredible doctor who not only saves lives, but gives cancer patients the confidence to live without second guessing.
