    When I told my doctor about the pain that I experience while doing my job, she simply told me to find another. Like it was simple and the easiest fix. She was highly unprofessional.

    Dr. Wong saw my shattered elbow one day and the next day I was in surgery. Her follow up was excellent. Talked to me in language I could understand.
