I first met DR Fong 20 years ago & she has been my doctor ever since. She has always been there for me & I always felt that I could call her day or night (even though I never called in the night). She wasn't always able to take a lot of time with me (that was before MDVIP) but she always took enough time with me. Her staff was always friendly, polite, on time, & very… See more

I’m personally impressed with several things: (1) the efficient response from her front office; (2) no waiting around the lobby to be seen by the Dr: (3) the amount of time that Dr devotes to your visit. You don’t feel that you are being rushed in and out; (4) Also, the written summary you receive after your annual physical assessment. Everything is summarized and there is no question as to… See more
She has always taken the time needed to diagnose our ills. Her manner is relaxed and patient and she actually listens to what we have to say before diagnosing our condition. She makes suggestions, not demands. We have followed her through several transitions including MDVIP. She has been our primary care physician for 2 decades. We love her.
I had been undiagnosed with Cushings disease for over 10 years. I knew I was sick but I didn’t know with what.

I found Dr. Fong, and she has been a great asset. The very first appointment I… See more
