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.

Don't waste your time.
Doctor is in a rush to deal with a heavy workload. He's a decent doctor, just don't expect to be treated in any kind of a timely manner. He wants to get as many patients in and out as quickly as possible. His back office staff are a joke.

Finally, Relief!
After over a year of suffering with lower back pain and various attempts to relieve it, I was finally sent to Dr. Wong. Dr. Wong, Adam Wood and the staff are very professional and pleasant. They take time with you to understand your pain and go over results of your procedures. I had a bilateral ablation on L 3,4.5. I can now stand for much longer periods of time with no pain and have been told by friends that I look so much better. I highly recommend Dr. Wong's practice.

On 21 May 2021 I had a spinal/cervical epidural. I was overdosed on anesthetic and lost my ability to speak and cough. No compassionate care offered as I was discharged completely unable to speak. No advance disclosure/warning and NO FOLLOWUP CALL. I still experience voice issues.

I suffered with lower back pain for several years. Dr. Wong ordered images and conducted tests, and ultimately recommended radiofrequency ablation of certain nerves. This procedure went well and relieved the pain. Dr. Wong is very professional and cordial. He explains things in understandable terms. The entire staff in the pain clinic was fantastic. I highly recommend Dr. Wong.

This doctor treated me for about a year. Has the nerve to say he specializes in musculoskeletal disorder. he knew of all the falls & never once did any tests to check my knees or my tmj. Recent tests reveal I am right on the verge of a minus cal tear & he’s been so obsessed over the pills (I shouldn’t b in pain) instead of looking to treat the source of the pain. When I told him of my abdominal pain & menstruation problems, he said he only treated “musculoskeletal” pain & told me to ask the OBGYN for medicine or a referral. When I did that, he quickly discharged me saying I broke the rules then told my OBGYN I was trying to see two pain specialists, when I did exactly what he told me to do.I’m being discharged for accepting muscle relaxers which I should not have to take if they would treat the source of the pain. When I asked him for a temporary DMV placard he sent me to my pcp, then told her not to give me one & apparently she can’t think 4 herself & played into his games. Gossiper.

Excellent! Dr. Wong was very good at explaining what was happening to cause my pain and what he could do to correct my situation. He performed 2 diagnostic procedures to determine the best treatment. That being done he the performed the radio frequency ablation. I was without pain immediately!

Dr. Wong is an intelligent, personable, and highly experienced doctor. I found him to be very sensitive to my needs, able to explain my issues in depth and with clarity. The injection procedure he performed proved to be extremely effective and I am able to walk and exercise without any pain whatsoever. His staff is also excellent!

Dr. Wong is one of the best doctors I have seen in my 86 years. I recently had the pleasure of meeting him for the first time. He is friendly, calm, personable and explains things exceptionally well. I felt very comfortable with him, not rushed and makes you feel important. I would not hesitate to recommend him as he is a fine physician. Thank you DR. Wong

I've only gone to a short time I trusted him I thought you was a good doctor it's all about epidural shots . It's like I'm on pain medication when he asked if I needed my bottle refill I told him yes he goes how many he'says 60 get by with one pill a day so that was my suggestion and that's what we were doing then all of a sudden I got epidural shots and they don't work for me he said there's nothing else guy can do I'll just feel your pain medication when needed well now I made another appointment to see if there was anything else he could do for me other than epidural shots and get my pain medication filled then it was epidural shots or I'm not fil your pain medication I was held hostage that is fraud deceiving and discussed the man uses epidural shots in order for you to get your pain medication I never heard any doctor be so I don't know the right word for so as like charge my taxpayers a fortune and then you'll get your pain medication somebody needs to report this My opinion

Dr. Kevin Wong went to bat for me as I remained undiagnosed for 8 months in horrific pain. He never abandoned me in my months of need and saw me through to a diagnosis. He is extremely compassionate and I will be forever grateful. Thank you Dr. Wong.

My husband and I found Dr. Wong's care to be excellent. I came in to be assessed for back pain interfering with the quality of my life. He took the time to explain and show through the model spines in his office where the possible pain might have originated. He made recommendations including continued PT and also a cortisone shot which I received after a few weeks with much success. Thank you Dr. Wong for your excellent care.
