Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I am so grateful Dr Wong performed my surgery for my fractured wrist. It took two hours due to breaking it in multiple places. He's so calm and kind. He explains everything very well. I suffer from anxiety and he made me feel confident and safe. His staff is sweet. Hospital staff was also wonderful. He's highly skilled.

Dr. Charles Wong, DO
Dr. Wong’s office was on time for most of the visits. Dr. Wong explained my condition(s) thoroughly and completely in a way which was easy to understand. Options were discussed and decisions were made together. Surgery went well. Post care was decided upon on explained. Scar is minimal (and I mean minimal!). Function is much better than before and still trending well. For what we had to do it was an exceptionally successful surgery and outcome. I would not hesitate to return for other needs if they arise. Based on my experience I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Wong.

Exemplary skilled surgeon!
Dr. Wong has amazing bedside manner! He walked us through every step of the process from treatment before surgery, what to expect during surgery, and then the final road back to normal activities!

Dr. Wong is the best
Dr. Wong took on my son’s case even though it was tricky. He saw us through from start to finish and actually cared enough to make us feel like we mattered and answered any question we had. We didn’t just feel like another case he had to get through til his day was over.

Great
Dr.Wong does an amazing job! My son broke his forearm in January and I took him to the hospital, Dr.Wong saw him and did surgery on him a few days later. He was very informative and made me feel like we were taken care of. It is now September and my son is fully healed and is excited to play sports again.

My son broke his wrist in 2 places. Need 3 different surgeries. Dr WONG IS A BLESSING. After a year and half my son has finally healed and I don’t think we could have made it without him and his staff. They really do care. And the time and patience he gives to his patients is very valuable to me. I would definitely recommend my friends & family to him. THANK U SO MUCH

From the clerks at the front desk to the MD, received excellent care. Scheduled for surgery without an issue and outcome was better than expected. Truly a great experience. If I could give more stars I would.

Best doctor and surgeon
I had to have emergency surgery on several bones in my wrist and a plate with pins. I was very worried that I would not be able to use that arm, wrist and hand but it healed so quickly and I have full range of motion and no pain. Miracle worker!!

Eight years ago Dr. Wong surgically repaired my left wrist after a fall. I managed to break my right wrist about 3 months ago and sought the care of Dr. Wong again. He listens to concerns, answers questions and offers guidance for all aspects of your care.

Excellent
I took a fall and broke my wrist in 5 places, I was referred to Dr. Wong by the E.R. This man is fantastic! He set me up for surgery the day after my first visit. Surgery was very successful and everything healed in record time. He took time with me each and every visit always asking if I had any questions or concerns. I would recommend him 100% of the time!

I broke my right middle finger and he was able to get me in fast and correct the break. He is very nice and knowledgeable in his field. I always left his office knowing the next course of action, what to do in the time between, and if I had any questions all I had to do was call.
