I saw Dr. Wallis for a couple of years when he was still in Hermosa Beach. He has outstanding…read morecredentials and great reviews. Unfortunately it just didn't work out for me. At my first appointment he described himself as being a medical 'quarterback'. Not being a sports person, I'm not sure what he meant by it but I found him to be more of a middle manager. He'll take your vitals, order & review blood tests, prescribe some basic meds, but otherwise refers everything out. You don't even have to take off your clothes for any appointments - though this can be a plus if it's what you're looking for. My main issue is that he does not perform annual women's wellness exams. He will refer you to a Gyn. My prior doctor of 15 years & new doctor both regularly perform your annual women's wellness exam especially if pregnancy is not an issue unless you specifically request otherwise or have your own Gyn. For basic annual exams there's no real need for a specialist. My question is does he perform prostate exams on men & or is it just women's wellness he's not comfortable with? Because trust me, I don't like that exam very much either but it's a health necessity. If you're a women he may not be the right fit. He was very thorough in ordering lab test before your visit & taking vitals and reviewing them in great detail but he did not really leave time for addressing patient questions and concerns. By the time I got home I always felt that I didn't have a chance to discuss my concerns or he was dismissive of them. I always come in with a notepad to keep track of my doctor's comments & my questions. I did have one concern that I did a Telehealth appointment. He suggested I come in for a physical exam, which I did, but he never performed the physical exam. I was too embarrassed to ask. I came to Dr. Wallis when my primary care doctor of 15 years moved her practice too far. He came highly recommended. I was contemplating another doctor but chose Dr. Wallis on their recommendation. His concierge service was not feasible so I moved to another doctor who is a good fit.

Horrible. Just horrible. I am not feeling well, I desperately need to find a doctor in my area and…read morefast and today, after reading the reviews I decided that Dr. Kissel sounded like the type of doctor I could trust to really find out the source of my headaches and get me back to normal. Well, I did not even get past the person who answered the phone! She picked up the phone like she was answering her phone at home! Not only that I could barely hear her, so I did not even realize someone had answered! I said "hello" just to make sure someone was on the line because all I noticed was that the recording had abruptly stopped. I said hello again because I thought I heard someone respond but I was not sure since again, the voice was was muffled. She practically yelled at me, definitely snapped at me and said HELLO CAN I HELP YOU!? I said "Oh hello, sorry I did not know if someone was there I can barely hear you" I can't recall what she said but her tone was abrasive and she was not helpful, she just sounded like a miserable front desk clerk that hated her job and just wanted to get through with the day! Well, I am a person who is unwell, the last thing I need is a rude person as a gatekeeper to the improvement of my health (I called at 3:14 on May 7th in case the business would like to try to track down who this person is) this definitely had a chilling effect on me and I doubt I would even care to try and call again. I really don't care to deal with mean people, especially if I DO like the doctor, since then I would have to deal with this person more!! I actually asked the person on the phone "why are you speaking to me this way? you sound like to are trying to get me to hang up and all I said was that I could barely hear you." she just said she was only trying to help and she immediately tried changing her voice to a friendly tone. I just hung up. I don't have time for games. This is my health. To the business: I just want to point out that I used to work in a VERY busy, VERY successful doctor's office for almost a decade and the people who answer the phone are integral to the success of a practice! If you need to pay someone more, give them more benefits, FIND SOMEONE ELSE that is possibly younger, fresher and more pleasant who appreciates their job, so be it, it's worth it. The demeanor of the secretary or receptionist is the first thing patients will encounter besides these reviews. It's unfair to this practice to have unpleasant people ruining an experience before it begins. I want to hear an inviting voice, I want to see a smiling face and I want to feel at ease. Wouldn't you?

It's also a red flag to me to hear that a doctor isn't interested or professional enough to hear feedback in order to improve.

I told him about a symptom where my body and brain were completely shutting down after most meals and I could not stay awake and his response was that he'd never heard of it and it probably wasn't a big deal.

Dr. Tong is an amazing physician. I came from UCLA where I had to communicate through a portal…read more Once I missed my blood draw appointment and I wanted to get in as I had fasted for the appointment and went to another location where they had drop in appointments and I realized how lucky I was to have an office to attend and not have to wait. I have never had to wait long in his office. His attention to detail, his level of empathy, the descriptions that he gives me when going through my annual physical, which includes a blood panel, and the his thoughtful approach to medicine has been quite impressive. Dr. Tong cares and he deserves to get patients who can appreciate his dedication to his craft. If you are somebody, who cares about your health, has a dedication to listening to those that may know more than you and wants to have a long term positive outlook on your health, please go see Dr. Tong. He has been helpful in so many ways from getting me in with specialists, as needed, for things that I did not think were a big deal like a chronic cough that has deteriorated my lungs and for which I am so glad about knowing now, and from understanding that food is medicine to helping me understand the importance of taking care of my whole health (sleep, mental, physical exercise, etc.). Thank you, Dr. Tong for caring, for being dedicated and for listening to me when I have concerns about my health.

(6/24/22), she hits it spot on about the professional and personal care that Dr. Tong provides. I brought my significant other to Dr. Tong in 2013, after we had suffered a terrible bicycle accident. Nikki was completely confident with Dr. Tong from the first visit. Dr. Tongs mannerisms are inspectable, he is a very compassionate physician. Dr. Tong has a terrific way of communicating with his patients. It was at Torrance Memorial Physician Network where Dr. Tong expressed to me his concern for not being able to spend more quality time with patients. (see the review from Robyn). I believe it was hard for Dr. Tong to leave TMPN, but patient care was his first priority. Since Dr. Tong has started his concierge doctor service, he always has more than sufficient time to spend with patients. He makes sure to answer all your questions, and goes into complete detail about your concerns, in a way that you are able to understand. Not just medical jargon. Dr. Tong is not a physician that believes in prescribing pharmaceutical drugs. He has a more holistic approach for each patient as a whole person. Taking into account mental and social factors, rather than just the symptoms of an illness. Dr. Tong also provides (via-internet) roundtable workshops with different physicians of all type of practices to further your understanding of healthcare. I have never known any other doctor who provides this type of education to his patients. I have had two types of cancer diagnosis since begin a patient of Dr. Tong and I have the utmost gratitude for all the upfront and behind the scenes work that he has and did for me! Dr. Tong not only has sympathy, but EMPATHY for my situation. The way in which Dr. Tong provides his professional knowledge to your health concerns is truly remarkable. One cannot place a dollar $$ amount on their health and wellbeing of life. Dr. Tong has certainly been more of a doctor than I could have ever imagined. We will be relocating from sunny California to another state. One if not the biggest thing we will miss is the undisputed care, compassion, guidance, kindness and friendship Dr. Tong as offered us. If you are looking for a GREAT professional physician, with the utmost dignity and diligent practice then give his office a call.
