Dr. Hong

Meet Chun Hong, MD, PhD


My goal is to help all patients achieve their health goals through individualized care and attention. As a primary care physician, I believe in emphasizing wellness to protect you from preventable diseases and keep you as healthy as possible by proactively concentrating on all areas of your health. I believe in treating a patient as a whole person instead of focusing only on symptoms or disease. By approaching internal medicine in this fashion and listening to each patient’s life experiences, I am better able to deliver quality services and effective treatments. The MDVIP Wellness Program offers me a myriad of tools and resources to help you achieve your health goals, including advanced screenings and tests emphasizing cardiovascular health, diabetes prevention, sleep, nutrition, fitness and emotional well-being. 

No one should have to manage illness alone. By being a part of my personalized healthcare practice, you and I will nurture a close relationship. You will have unrushed appointments, I will be available whenever you need me, and I'll have time to coordinate necessary care with specialists. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time. 

I am affiliated with Reston Hospital Center and serve communities in Reston, Herndon, and surrounding areas of Virginia, including Fairfax, Vienna, Oakton, Sterling and Great Falls. I am a Washingtonian Top Doc and a Northern Virginia Magazine Top Doc. I am fluent in English and Chinese.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

I wish I could post 10 stars or more for Dr. Hong! He is one of the most compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated doctors I have ever known. A recent health scare has been easier to deal with because of his willingness to LISTEN! And listen, and listen. He takes time to connect dots, review past records, and, only then, give his honest assessment of the situation. And Kudos, also, to the entire staff....their smiling faces, optimism, and kindness bring much solace to anyone in need of a little extra TLC. Thank you Dr. Hong and your staff who have seen me through a very stressful period!

I am writing this review on behalf of my grandmother and mother. As a healthcare provider myself, I can honestly say Dr Hong, Julie, and all the staff go above and beyond for their patients. The fee to be a patient of Dr Hong’s is well worth it, especially if you have chronic health conditions. He is kind and caring and provides excellent evidence based medicine. Furthermore he has visited my 97 year old grandmother at the hospital every time she has had to be admitted. Right now my gram is dealing with covid and can not be visited by her family which is horrible for her and all of us. Having Dr. Hong check in on her there and communicate her status with us has been a tremendous relief on our family to know she is not all alone at her advanced age. Dr Hong’s compassion and humor have helped keep two of the most important people in my life stay as healthy as possible. On behalf of my whole family thanks so much Dr. Hong and team!!!

I have never had such amazingly caring medical treatment in the world. Dr. Hong truly considers you as a whole person and listens to his patients. I have been going through a severe illness for 7 months and every time I reach out the front office is kind and helpful with prescriptions.

I feel fortunate to have found Dr. Hong and his staff. Finally, I’ve been through severe medical illness before but this is by far the worst medical problem I’ve faced. Dr.Hong’s breadth and depth of knowledge is something I’ve never seen.

One star off:
Although they are patient and accommodating, they aren’t tied into the INOVA system and I haven’t had much luck getting in to see the specialist they referred me to. Not sure that his Dr. Hong’s fault. There have been issues with paperwork for my employer and insurance provider but I will update if this is resolved.

Dr. Hong was my parent's "concierge" doctor for well over a decade and he failed both of them. Starting first with my dad...he let his PSA numbers climb and climb until finally my dad said "enough is enough, I want a scan" and sure enough that scan showed us that he had Stage 4 prostate cancer. I find it beyond negligent that Dr. Hong allowed his numbers to increase without any sort of scan. Later the very next year, my dad came down with an awful cough that wouldn't go away. A good doctor would have said "hmm, this man has stage 4 prostate cancer, I should scan his lungs", but nope Dr. Hong again did nothing and we later learned that my dad had a huge mass that turned out to be a rare liposarcoma. Next was my mom, who after years and years under Dr. Hong's "care" was never suggested to have a mammogram. Well, needless to say we just learned my mom has stage 3/4 breast cancer. It is a shame this guy is still in practice. He is negligent and complacent.

Paid for MDVIP subscription. Staff in general were excellent but front desk person ruins the entire experience and it seems other staff are aware of and also comment on the issue. Never received MDVIP physical or followups on medical items I paid additional fees for help with. Seemed like a quality doctor but contrary to service advertised too busy with other patients and one staff member that just ruins the entire expirence. A lot of extra money for below standard care.

I’m 80 years old and have lived in several states. I’ve been diligent about my health and have, therefore, visited many medical practices during my life. I can state, without reservation, that this is the best medical practice I’ve ever encountered. Dr. Hong and his entire staff.... his physician’s assistant, his office manager, his receptionists, his laboratory technician .....all are extremely knowledgeable, caring, responsive, and professional. I feel blessed to have found Dr. Hong and highly recommend him to all who want a truly exceptional medical experience.

I’m now 83 and am speaking for my husband, as well. He has a complicated illness, involving several body systems. Dr Hong is totally knowledgeable, reassuring and available at all times. We love his energy and humor. His office staff is lovely, knowledgeable and caring. We feel lucky to have all of them “ in our corner”.

I just recently joined Dr. Hong’s practice after a horrible drug interaction earlier this year between prescribed meds. Dr.Hong has been amazing to work with. He is super responsive, gives you his personal cell number and has been really flexible working with me with telehealth since I live about 2 hours from his practice. I was left with a number of lingering issues from the drug interaction and the resulting syndrome, which is not well understood. Dr.Hong has already gone above and beyond to help me navigate the aftermath of it. He is smart and obviously really cares about his patients. Cannot say enough good things about him! I wish I had found him sooner!

To make appointment with this doctor, patients have to join their MDVIP program, costing 1600 dollars a year.
The question is, if all of your patients have to join this “VIP” program, who is the real "VIP" patient?
Another question is, even without meeting with the doctor, how can you prove this service worth the price?

Went in to see Dr. Hong as have done previously in the 13 years he has been my doctor. I was told that because I wasn't a member of his MDVIP private pay membership, which costs $1600 per year on top of insurance copayment and dr bills, that he could not see me. I invested 13 years to build up trust with a doctor and now he kicks me to the curb. I was deeply saddened. It is quite obvious that Dr. Hong no longer cares about me as a patient but is after the $$$$. Sad. Trust is gone.

This is in response to "Concerned Citizen". When a doctor goes to MDVIP, he is required to give up his other patients. A concierge medicine practice gives a lot more time to each patient than is allowed by Medicare or insurance companies. That's one of things that $1600 per year pays for. For myself, when I became a senior citizen, I no longer had the time or mental energy/capacity to stay on top of my medical conditions. I needed the hand holding that is not possible for a doctor with 3000 patients. MDVIP restricts the number of patients that a doctor can have to about 600.

You get what you pay for and $1600 is well worth it when compared to standard medical practices that I dealt with for 40 years.

Dr Hong has gone well out of his way to provide excellent care for me, especially when I was hospitalized for 2 back-to-back spinal fusion surgeries and I caught pneumonia in the hospital. The pneumonia caused me to stay in the hospital for an extra 2 weeks. Dr Hong came by my hospital room to check on my condition daily. When I was finally allowed to leave the hospital, I needed an oxygen machine, portable tanks and medication. Dr Hong made himself available to me as I struggled to manage the pneumonia at home. He has always been very attentive, incredibly kind and goes out of his way to provide outstanding care.

I am sad and mad to write this review on behalf of my parents. I would put Zero Stars but that is not an option. They saw Dr Hong for years (since at least 2008) and switched this past summer after learning the care was subpar. They discovered this when my dad was diagnosed with Stage 4 Prostate Cancer after years and years of high PSA levels where he was told that it was normal (it was so not!!) and my mom was just diagnosed with Breast Cancer (Stage 3 or 4 will be determined by Bone scans and CT Scans) after not having a mammogram for 25+ years. The only reason that this was caught now is that their new doctor was shocked that Dr Hong had not recommended that my mom get a mammogram or several other tests that are normal and recommended at their age. So basically he failed 2 of this lifelong patients by being complacent and I wanted to protect others from this lack of care.

Hebrews 13:2, NIV: "Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it."
I was frustrated on the first call. I called to make an appointment and the receptionist asked me how I heard about their company? I answered her "online" and directly she told me that they do not accept new patients and she said buy and hung up. This was my first time to experience something like that. Please, be gentle and welcoming....
