    I have to get my abdominal ultrasound every 6 mos and I have always had great technicians who treat…read moreme with respect, kindness and gentleness. Not great that you have to get these tests done, but since you do...you should be treated with care and I always feel cared for here.

    It's very frustrating and disheartening to feel dismissed or mischaracterized when you are simply…read moretrying to advocate for your own healthcare I Wait 3 hours and I would have waited all day, after falling and all of a sudden my calf popped my leg went numb my toes numb and I couldn't walk I couldn't feel my feet at all , after CSULB sent me to Hoag I waited to see a Dr. Romanu, Joshua, MD when the Dr. Romanu, Joshua, MD saw me he had no info what so ever, never ordered a x-ray Till I asked after they said they don't do MRI's and don't do mussel ultra sounds, I asked if I was at a hospital they said yes but legs are not an emergency they only check for blood clots, so I asked to be transported to another hospital they denied me that, told me no one was going to see me for calf pain, so I asked to leave , I left with out crutches with out a foot boot I was told to see my primary. Because I asked for MRI that's mean I'm combative and unruly .The nurses and Doctors did not care one bit I couldn't put any weight on my leg or foots watched me get help from Valet telling me I shouldn't be driving if I can't walk, they made me stand on my leg and took the wheel chair from me while I had to hop into my car. I was there because my left leg wasn't working that's the reason my college CSULB sent me and No one ever looked at my ankle or leg , no one took my shoe off, no one touched my foot yet they did tell me I wasn't an emergency and they dont check for grade 2/3 mussel tears. This was the worst care I have ever had, I repeat the worst care I have ever received ever, the doctors were rude every single nurse except for the busier that check for blood clots, and she also said you should be getting a MRI they said you heard a pop in your leg I told her yes and 15 other student heard it before I dropped ,the nurses would correcting me every time I said a word wrong, like trimeler fracture, I had surgery on my leg, I said the word wrong, laughed at me; when I said I was in pain for 5 hours they but told me I was only there for 2:45 mins , I asked to leave the nurse that's was laughing at me followed me all the way to the waiting room to then try and shake my hand, I have never felt so uncomfortable with a nurse before, I arrived there at 1:45 left at 5:45 to drive to Newport and see a doctor that actually touched my foot , took the time to ask questions, took off my shoes and saw the problem. I did have a G3 tear and needed medicine and now I'm non weight barring for 3 months and can't walk. When your in pain doctors shouldn't be mocking you, nurses shouldn't be laughing and telling someone that they have to be having a stroke to get a MRI is crazy. Don't waste your time here unless you're bleeding. I was sent to the hospital after falling and Then the hospital punished me for coming there treating me like I was nothing. I left with out crutches or a boot, I couldn't walk but they said they can't do anything b it check for blood clots. Don't come here, go directly pass this shit hole and go to UCI. Honestly the doctors and hospital failed yesterday and I hope when they went home they thought about doing better, better service better training better listening. Just horrible. Pain was 10/10 and today it's 10/10 and they did nothing but make me not ever want to step in to a room with doctor or nurses that think because they have srubs on they are better and smarter then you and apparently leg/ankle injuries can wait. Today I have no feeling in my toes and can not move my ankle up or down. Thanks for wasting 3 hours a 1hr drive in traffic and then 1 drive back in traffic to a doctor at a urgent care that took better care of me and actually cared I was there and in pain. It's sad. This is what the doctor said in my chart because I asked for a MRI for a leg tear and then asked to be transported to another hospital for better care. " He was demonstrably upset and verbally abusive. He states that he wasted his time. He states that he can go to any other ER and he will get an MRI done immediately and then will sue me because we are not taking care of him. I tried to explain to him that this is the workup" . I didn't ask for a US or to check for a blood clot when I keep telling them no I didn't have one or ever have a problem , I told them I hurt my leg from nothing my school sent me people everyone heard a pop in my leg I feel to the ground and couldn't walk my feet where numb and I was asking for a MRI that's all.I was clearly in pain and they didn't offer me anything but told me NO one is going to help me and I would be be sent home anyways for a non emergency. This place is a joke.

    Wow! Dr Anthony Wong is such a wonderful doctor! He is intelligent, experienced, compassionate,…read moreempathetic, detail oriented, knowledgeable, articulate, a great listener, up to date on the latest medical knowledge and has a great bedside manner. Best of all, he genuinely cares about his patients and takes the time to help them and give them the highest quality medical care. His nurses and the office staff are friendly, helpful and organized - which is actually not that common - so this is a great perk as well! The office is very clean and everything seems professional. A neat perk is that they have a pharmacy kiosk right in their office so that you can get your prescriptions right then and there which is amazing and so convenient not having to drive to a pharmacy - especially if you're feeling ill! I have been searching for a top notch primary care doctor since I moved to Orange County over a decade ago and I couldn't find anyone truly outstanding (so I kept switching after bad or lackluster experiences) and so I turned once again to Yelp, and although he didn't have many reviews, all of Dr Wong's reviews were 5-stars so I decided to make an appointment and I'm soooooo glad I did because Dr Wong is even better than the primary care doctor I had up in LA who was also outstanding but what sets Dr Wong as even better is that you can just feel how much he cares and wants to help you. His empathy and compassion are really next level. When you add that to him being extremely smart and super well versed in all of the gold standard plus latest medical practices he is truly the best of the best! I have only great things to say about Dr. Wong and highly recommend him! He's best in class!

I have felt like family since day one which is very important since I left all my family back on the East Coast. I have called his office a couple of times in between checkups since I am involved with playing basketball and softball and Dr. Wong's has always been made available to answer my questions.
