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 was very satisfied with the informative visit, Dr. Bong's pleasant demeanor, and the fact that he not only provided options, but also encouragement. Very nice to work with!!

Dr. Bong performed second TURP on my husband for BPH without ever running a PSA. We had to ask our primary care physician to order the test 6 mo after the 2nd TURP. The result was 17 and Dr. Bong said this was expected when the PSA should fall to 0.2 after a TURP for BPH. He agreed to repeat the test in 6 months at which time the PSA rose to 25. Dr. bong then performed a biopsy showing a Gleason 9 aggressive cancer that could have been diagnosed 3 years earlier. Cannot recommend this physician

Dr. Bong is awesome. His scheduling staff and their “manager” are inept and unapologetic. Sad.

Dr. Bong has treated my bladder cancer for 6 years and I've had 3 surgeries with one being major. In choosing my Heath Plans I always make sure Dr. Bong is listed.
