Dr. Kong sat down with me for quite a while and addressed the issues that I needed answered prior to surgery. She offered to send her consultation note to my primary care doctor as well as my orthopedic surgeon. She was extremely pleasant to deal with, very upbeat, very informative. Additionally, her office is very professional and very pleasant to deal with.

I love my oncologist Dr. Lynn Kong. She really cares and is VERY on top of my cancer scans and…read morecare. Today she called me because I was concerned about having to have a PET scan a year early. When she said, "We want to catch something early...", I realized that she is being very careful with my life. I've been through so much. And, I am so grateful to her. She treats almost every person I know who is a cancer survivor and it's so awesome to share her. We all love her! I go to her office in Ventura at Cabrillo Radiation Oncology, right above CMH Cancer Center, and sometimes on a good day I ride my bicycle. What I really like about Dr. Kong is that she will not give up on her patients. I have heard so many stories that make me cry about her courage and treatment plans for her patients. She is so smart, super positive and makes you feel safe. It's best to have questions written down when you go to see her or any doctor, because it's so sensitive, cancer that is, and my mind goes blank because I am so afraid or worried remembering what I have been through. If you are about to face the battle, rest assured if you have been referred to Dr. Kong. She will help you and manage your care. She is wonderful and will be a great part of your team. Talk to her honestly. I am so grateful to have her as my oncologist, and it doesn't hurt that she is pretty and has a beautiful smile, too!

Her and especially her assistant in Ventura were both cold and dismissive of my pains. Her…read moreassistant reacted to my relief of cancer screening results as if I was bothering her. I was only in my early 30s at the time and not some 60 year old complaining about every little thing. I found it really odd Sujanani wanted me to have my back x-rayed. It wasn't cause of the suggestion, but of her reasoning. I can't touch my toes when stretching down. That means I must have a chronic back issue. I've never been able to touch my toes and the x-rays came back perfect. The only thing that worked was me wanting blood work done and the suggestion from that was I needed to focus on certain vitamins. There was never a suggestion about taking certain vitamins at a specific time of day, what to avoid taking with them, and what combination works best. I had to find that out. I always have to do my own research and help myself with this messed up healthcare system in CA. It doesn't matter if I'm on Medi-Cal like in the past, or paying a fortune out of pocket. Doctors don't care and you're on your own. 9 times out of 10 I have had to help myself over the years. If my dad hadn't moved out of state when he got sick, I know he wouldn't be with us anymore. The wait times are insane, too.

I have had floating knee caps for approximately 5 years. They would flair up and I would wear knee braces on both knees and after a few weeks they would calm down. I could play with my knees and pop them in and out. It was always very painful. Over the 5 years I had been to approximately 8 Orthopedic doctors. One doctor gave me a medication I was allergic to, then told me I was to complicated and that he could not deal with me and left. A few others could not get my name correct when they walked into the room and there after so lost my trust. Then there was the one in UCLA who wanted to "saw off" part of my knee bone and replace it with cartilage. Then two weeks later decided I just needed physical therapy and did not need me as a patient anymore. I never just needed physical therapy. So instead of going towards UCLA I went the other direction.... I found a doctor who was willing to a "Lateral Release." some injections into my knees for the pain. Plus he got my name right. I then had my knee fill up with fluid twice... This is where I thought I was not having the right communication with that doctor. I felt helpless again. FINALLY I FOUND DOCTOR STEPHEN SWEET!!!! I called and I believe I had an appointment for the next day! I brought any and all paperwork I had for him. I even brought some candy for him. (he liked that) Out of all the other doctors I had been through, Dr. Sweet listened to EVERY descriptive word I had to give. He truly listened to what I was saying. He wanted to take X-Rays of my hips incase something was missed (EXCELLENT IDEA) nothing showed but it was an attempt to solve my problem. Because I had surgery on one knee, he was willing to take me on as a patient and continue my care. I WAS SO HAPPY! Then a few weeks later I felt like I was regressing, and that my knee was filling up with fluid again. I got an appointment for that same day! The staff is so amazing and accommodating. He came right in and I showed him where I thought the fluid was. He agreed with me that there was some fluid but there was not enough to take out. After explaining why it made since. I did not feel dismissed or rejected at all by him. I actually felt validated for something that I was feeling. Dr. Sweet is truly an amazing doctor, he has a passion for caring about every patient that he sees because of how much time he spends with each and every one. He understands that you are in pain and wants to find the best course to fixing it. The staff bends over backwards into helping as well. Well a year later and I started having carpal tunnel in both my hands. I knew I was going to go straight to Dr. Sweet. Amazingly he remembered me. He came in with a smile on his face and eager to help me. When I went to see him I was on the breaking point of tears. But I knew if anyone could help me, it would be him. I needed something to happen or I truly thought I was going to lose my job. He lisened to everything I said about both my hands. He needed 1 test to confirm that it was carpal tunnel. After that, he said that he would perform surgery on my hands. He started with the left one... I am left handed so I was nervous starting off with my dominant hand. But I trusted Dr. Sweet. So the day of surgery he made me feel comfortable and answered questions and was very positive about it. About 2 days after surgery I could feel my fingers. (Could not feel them for 5 months.). I was so excited and happy that I could see a difference so quickly. The day my stitches were removed I could make a fist and I had feeling through my whole hand. I was so happy. Then about 2 weeks ago I had my right hand done. Literally the next day after surgery I could feel my fingers. I could kind of feel my hand but it was wrapped up. I just got my stitches out today and I feel all my fingers and my hand. I am so confident in what Dr. Sweet did. I know that when I go back to work in a few weeks I will be ready. I quickly could tell a difference by what he did. He is truly a very caring, kind, optimistic, extraordinary, inspiring, friendly, fabulous, positive, genuinely talented Doctor. I don't think that there is any doctor better than him. Thank you Dr. Sweet for changing my life in so many ways!
