DO NOT SEE THIS DOCTOR. He told me my wrist was broken. It wasn't. I spent 4 weeks in a cast unnecessarily. He also told me my joint looked fine. It was anything but. He spends little time and doesn't really seem to be into it. Not something you want when you're trying to be able to use your hand again. read more

Dr. Wong brought my daughter and I to tears with his rude, arrogant, know-it-all attitude. I am convinced doctors like this are trying to cover up their lack of knowledge. Dr. Wong, if you are reading this, it is O.K. to say you are not sure about something. Just say you will reach out to other specialists and get back to the patient. Then stick to your word and do just that. read more

Please for your safety do not use this doctor for surgery. I had to have a knee replacement and I had a scan on my knee to make a. Custom knee, day of surgery he replaced my knee then said "the custom knee never came so we used a generic knee". No blood thinners after surgery resulted in a heart attack plus 6 years later still having major knee issues with fake knee, 2nd opinion said knee is lose and setting your height/ balance off need another surgery to fix. Please don't use him. read more

Good Day Everyone... I live in Amador County, and was unable to find a good orthopedic surgeon anywhere until my insurance carrier pointed me in the direction of this fine doctor. Dr Wong is an outstanding surgeon . I completely destroyed my rotator cuff, severe bicep tear and a labrum repair. This man restored my shoulder on a path of full use. His office set up everything regarding my aftercare, and connected me to a therapist. The office had my equipment delivered to my home, showed me the correct way to use and take care of myself properly. No other surgeon in Amador County did this for me. I have had a shoulder surgery before, and it was the complete opposite of what Dr. Wong did for me. Also, their front office staff is WONDERFUL!! The first voice you will be hearing is Hanna, who is so happy and friendly you will be amazed. I highly recommend his services for your orthopedic needs.

Went to Dr Wong for pain resulting from an injury. I had been on crutches 2 weeks and resting my knee very well. I was feeling no pain at that time and Dr said MRI did not show anything. I left and then In the last couple weeks the pain has returned and in the last 3 days it's been excruciating. I called Dr Wong to see if he could look at my MRI again that I am unbearable pain. He said he checked it and its fine and maybe I should just get a second opinion. I asked what if I get another MRI and he said it probably won't show anything and it may be early onset arthritis. I said it's bad enough to go to the ER but they don't take orthopedic emergencies. I said fine I will get a second opinion. Thanks Cedric for the help. I'll find a doctor that knows about knees. UPDATE: Today is April 10, 2018 and I am still pain free! read more

I fractured my knee on Dec 24rth, went to Folsom Mercy Hospital emergency room. Dr. Wong was on call that day, staff didn't call him, they thought I didn't need surgery but strongly advice to make an appointment with him within a few days. I make an an appointment, I had a splint for almost a week, it was itchy and very uncomfortable, on my appointment I asked the doctor if he could give me an idea of when I would be able to get back to normal, he said "normal is never going to happen" such encouraging word from a doctor, proceeds to tell me that he is not comfortable doing my surgery because he hasn't done one in four years, meaning "insecure" recommends doctor outside my network, useless information. I asked if he can take the splint and replace with knee brace. He does it, I notice the knee brace is in a unlucked position, he does not say anything about it, leaves room because I guess he is done talking, I asked the nurse if they can lock knee brace, she says I will ask the doctor comes back and says doctor Wong says "it does not lock". Left the office with a knee brace that clearly was not protecting my knee from bending, it could have made farther damage on my knee. Next day I make an appointment with another doctor, they asked who I previously saw, and I said Dr. Wong, the whole room goes quiet, no one said anything. Anyway my new doctor took my knee brace and placed it in lock position right away. Doctor Wong is unprofessional, uncertain and careless. Now I know why Mercy Hospital didn't call him, they don't want a useless doctor doing emergency surgeries on their patients. I had a Tibial Plateau fracture, comminuted and displaced. My advice, stay away from this Doctor, he should not be practicin medicine. read more

Dr. Wong is incredible! My son dislocated and broke his wrist on Easter Sunday. Dr. Wong and his team were quick to ascertain what needed to be done and scheduled him for surgery. Not only was his surgical technique flawless, the end result is that my son is working diligently on his range of motion and under Dr. Wong's care, along with physical therapists he's referred, we're ahead of schedule. The x-rays reveal perfectly set plate and screws...WOW! As for bedside manner, Dr. Wong is thorough, answered all of our questions, returned our call one evening after hours to answer a question and showed kindness and understanding. His staff is equally kind and professional. Michael L. for Connor read more

Was referred to Dr C Wong for bilateral hip necrosis. He walked into the exam room, sat down and said ""are you an alcoholic?"" Great way to start a conversation doctor/patient. Alcoholism, injury, infection are some of the causes of Avascular Necrosis but his "BEDSIDE" manner was AWFUL. The remainder of the appointment he was sarcastic, uncaring and tactless. I have since found a great doctor in Placerville and would NEVER recommend Dr Wong to anyone I know. A patient need to feel comfortable w/their doctor and he is terrible. read more

I saw Dr. Wong for a broken hand, and he was very helpful and informative. He explained things very carefully and I highly recommend him for anyone. As far as his 'bedside manner' , I would say that he is a brilliant doctor who explains things very succinctly without wasting your or his time. I don't go to a doctor for sympathy. I go for expertise. read more

I dislocated my kneecap for the first time, so of course, I had no clue what to expect of the recovery process. Both Dr. Wong and his staff gave us misinformation right and left. Horrible bedside manner. He was very arrogant and made me feel like I was stupid for the questions I asked. To make a very long story short, save yourself a lot of frustration and find another orthopedist. read more

Dr. Wong was the right surgeon for the job, and I know this because my shoulder is doing amazing! In March 2014, I broke my shoulder while snow skiing. My health plan connected me with Dr. Wong, and even though I attempted to do some research on orthopedic surgeons in the area, I made the appointment for a consultation. Ten days later, I was in surgery for a shoulder ORIF (open reduction internal fixation), i.e. plate and screws. Seven weeks later, back to work! If you are seeking a surgeon to skillfully repair your break, I highly recommend Dr. Wong. Now three years later, no pain whatsoever, no aches, and I'm back to everything I ever did before this happened: skiing, pruning trees, full time job...except push-ups. I choose not to do push-ups. :) read more

I saw Dr. Wong today for the first time , I had total hip replacement with another surgeon over 2 years ago and have muscle damage . Dr. Wong confirmed that it was some sort of damage ad he recommended I see a different specialist , he took the time to looked at all my scans online and didn't feel he could help me and wanted someone else to take a look see. The office staff was all very nice. I wish he could have seen something that could be fixed , but he didn't. I liked him very much read more

This review is just for wait time. The office asks you to arrive 30 mins early and your wait time is over an hour. Time management is so inefficient. Seems like they overbook and cant handle the demand. Annoying. read more

Terrible. No "bed side" manner. Very arrogant. Staff was very unprofessional. Lost our paperwork and then scared us with a mis-diagnosis.

I went to Dr. Wong with a badly injured shoulder: three fractures to the clavicle, bone chips and splinters were issues. He laid out several options on how we could proceed and answered the many questions I had. Based on the x-rays of the damage and level of pain I was in, I did not believe that I'd ever experience full function and range of motion. I placed my full trust in Dr. Wong's expertise and recommendation. He installed a "hook plate" and screws for the clavicle repair and also used sutures on the bone fragments to try and pull those back to correct form. Several months later Dr. Wong performed a second surgery to remove the plate and screws. I have a physically demanding lifestyle, so strength and flexibility are very important to me. My shoulder is now 100% pain free, and the pre-injury strength and range of motion have returned. I am extremely grateful for Dr. Wong's advice and surgical skill; he has my highest possible recommendation! read more

Dr. Wong is a capable surgeon. He aligned and set my 2 broken ankle bones very well. I was recovering well but about 5 months after surgery, I developed a staph infection in the plate he had installed. I showed him once and he said there was nothing wrong with me. 10 days later, I showed it to him again and he said he was not concerned. A few days later, it ruptured open and I had to go to an urgent care facility. The doctor there wondered if Dr. Wong might have missed the Med School 101 class on infections. I am going to another surgeon to have the plate removed. read more

I was referred to Dr. Wong in 2012 with osteoarthritis in both hip joints. I was in constant pain from lack of cartilage in both hip joints due to the osteoarthritis and this was confirmed by x-rays. We discussed total hip replacement in both hips but, due to my young age (65), he suggested I see a pain specialist first to see if the pain could be relieved another way prior to hip replacement surgery (surgery being the last resort). I did so and worked with the pain specialist with some success. However, after about a year the pain specialist procedures no longer worked and I went back to Dr. Wong. Together we decided to proceed with the hip replacement surgery as the pain was worsening. Dr. Wong was very thorough with x-rays and discussions on what to expect before, during and after the replacement surgery. The first surgery was in December 2013 and the surgery went well with no problems and I followed his orders and direction including exercises before and after surgery plus physical therapist guidelines. There was also a class on joint replacement which I and my caregiver husband attended. I mended well and scheduled the 2nd hip total replacement surgery as soon as Dr. Wong thought I was ready. In March, 2014, the 2nd hip joint was replaced and I again came through with flying colors. Dr. Wong chose a prosthetic to fit my age, activity and life style. I am very thankful to have found Dr. Wong and am enjoying a pain-free life again and would do this all over again if I had to. Dr. Wong and his staff were very meticulous with my care and I would seek their services again if I ever need further joint replacements plus would recommend them to anyone. read more
