My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

My goal as a primary care doctor has been to partner with my patients and their families. Perhaps that stems from having been trained in both pediatrics and internal medicine, as well as teaching both residents and medical students at a University Medical Center. A good teacher should be able to clearly explain a difficult concept and the proof is when the student can then explain it to the next person. As in any relationship, it takes time to listen and discuss options that work for the individual patient. I count myself successful when my patient attains their health goals and feels confident in their ability to stay as healthy and active as possible. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I feel empowered to offer individualized care to each of my patients, whether young, old or somewhere in the middle.

Living in a small community means that you may find me shopping at the local farmers market, hiking on the nearby trails and beaches with my dog or wine tasting at some of our local, world-renowned wineries.

Dr KarenFong
from Mary in CA February 20, 2024 for Karen A. Fong, MD

My mom is 95 and became home bound right before Thanksgiving. Dr Fong came over the day before she was to drive to see family for holiday to see my mom at her house. She made several other home visits. She is amazing and approachable at any hour. Our family can’t thank her enough for her kindness and professionalism.

Going the extra mile
from Thomas in CA February 13, 2024 for Karen A. Fong, MD

Between the insurance and a specialist whose clinic was closed, I could not get prescriptions filled. Pre-authorizations were required, which can be nightmares. Dr. Fong and Gabby stepped in and did the work others should have done.
I am grateful for their normal good efforts, but this was more.

Always Available

I can't say enough about my doctor Karen Fong. She is always there when I need her. My recent trip to South East Asia was much more safe knowing that she verified every location to see if there were health advisories and made sure I had medications needed for our long awaited trip. Also, even when I have questions about my 102 year old mom she willing to listen. I look forward to my… See more

"ALL BECAUSE OF HER"
from Jackie in CA March 24, 2020 for Karen A. Fong, MD

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
