Great communication.
I was pleased meeting with Dr. Tong. She was professional and cared for me as a patient.
Dr. Tong was recommended by my primary care doctor. So far I have seen her 3 times. Dr. Tong will tell you what your next steps should be, such as a medication or procedure. She may not explain any of this in detail, do you have to ask questions about the procedure, more about the medicine recommended, and if you have concern about anything else such as other cardiac concerns or circulatory concerns. She does listen to your and answers your questions. If you haven't seen her for a period of time, an EKG is fine in the exam room after your blood pressure and other vital signs are taken. Summary -> ASK questions.
Excellent bedside manner, very glad I am a new patient of hers!
