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.

from Corinne in CA March 11, 2020 for Karen A. Fong, MD

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.

Dr. Fong helped me get through a tough diagnosis
from Sheila in CA March 11, 2020 for Karen A. Fong, MD

I had been undiagnosed with Cushings disease for over 10 years. I knew I was sick but I didn’t know with what. My primary care told me I was dealt a poor genetic card and my best option was to learn to adapt and live a smaller life. When I diagnosed myself, I knew I couldn’t go back to my primary care Dr..
I found Dr. Fong, and she has been a great asset. The very first appointment I… See more
