My son is a disabled [person] with exceptional communication needs. Often his initial visit with a new provider is a bit rocky because many are not familiar with [medical condition]. However, with Dr. Chong's insight and the assistance of an ASL interpreter all went very smoothly. All scores would have been "10" but that's a lot to ask the first time around!

*Dr. Joshua Chong is an excellent doctor.

02/16/2022

Physician seemed prepared and was very direct with questions although not warm and welcoming considering I was a new patient.May have been put-off when I confronted physician's assistant and him about long wait time in office before appointment. Staff working with a doctor are very important to me so I can receive good medical care. I felt I needed to speak up about the wait.

01/24/2022

Very good.

01/20/2022

I moved here 3 yrs. ago and set up with *Dr. Chong at that time. *Dr. Chong has been great to work with on my health care.

*Dr. Chong has consistently shown a great depth of knowledge in addition to compassion, which has never ceased to amaze me. He is an individual who is extremely easy to talk with. In all my visits w/*Dr. Chong I have never rushed or brushed off. He is a very true walking example of the BEST of humanity.

12/25/2021

*Dr. Chong is a wonderful man & physician. As I have said before, he has the 3A's of a great physician. I do thinking the pandemic has been very stressful on him the entire staff 3A's afford ability, ability, availability - I goofed, affability, availability, ability - That is the prefer of _____ & *Dr. Chong has those.

11/26/2021

No concerns.

11/24/2021

He's great - takes his time. I appreciate that. St. Al's is a joke when it comes to allowing him time in between patients to answer questions via phone in a respectable manner. I am looking for a new PCP because St. Al's sucks.

11/23/2021

It was a great visit.

11/02/2021

Not so long a wait time on phones.

10/20/2021

10/15/2021

Dr Chong came up with a solution to help stop my panic attacks. I let him know about my concerns with antidepressants.

10/15/2021

I was very disappointed. He was recommended by a staff member over the phone (I have no problem with this)!. However, I did not think he was attentive, only half listened but didn't seem to care about me. I felt like just 'his next patient.'

10/13/2021

*Dr. Chong is great!!!

09/22/2021

I just saw *Dr. Chong shortly after he came to this clinic. He was good and efficient then. He still is but he seems more comfortable now. I am happy having him for my doctor.

09/22/2021

I was _____ at first having just changed physicians due to his retirement - but was so surprised and delighted that he really understood the difficulties of aging and those inadequate feeling's he was on top of things and I really did like him right away.
