This was my first surgical experience. Dr. Hong's knowledge and experience helped me prepare for the procedure. I was well prepared for each step in the process from pre-op, day of surgery, and recovery. I was in good hands. I recommend that others consider choosing him as their physician. October 2026 update: follow up procedure. Dr. Hong's office got me in very quickly. The appointment was on time and completed quicker than I expected.Patient Submitted Review

After years of thinking I had back issues … finally found a doctor that would and could explain what was going on and it turns out there are issues with my back and both hips. Had the right hip replaced and everything went as Dr. Hong explained it would. He and his team are very thorough, good listeners and great planners helping us through the whole process from insurance, hospital, preparations and post care! It’s time to have the Left hip done and we didn’t hesitate to go right back to Dr. Hong and his team.

The appointment was extremely easy and only had a three day wait getting in to see the Dr. The day of the appointment was also very easy even being a first time appointment. The wait time was just enough to finish the insurance and paperwork. Dr Hong was very informative and covered all my concerns I received and injection that has already improved the pain.rater8 Verified Patient

He is awesome!! I’ve been trying to get knee replacement surgery for over 4 years!! It took Dr Hong less than 5 minutes to agree with the need for surgery and his office staff had me on calendar in 3 weeks from initial appointment!! I have battled with every single surgeon in this county and nobody would help me!! He knows what he’s doing and explained to me clearly why I needed surgery. He even said he was willing to do a partial knee replacement on my other knee in 3 months post surgery!! I’m so excited that I may get my life back!!Patient Submitted Review

I had a very positive experience with Dr. Thomas Hong and I highly recommend him to anyone that needs orthopedic care. He is highly knowledgeable in his field but also takes the time to explain everything in a way that's easy to understand especially for my mother who doesn’t speak English - he was very patient with the interpreter as they talked about what needed to be done. He never rushed through our appointments, and always made sure all my questions were answered. I appreciated how clearly he laid out my mother’s diagnosis, treatment options, and what to expect during recovery. It made me feel well-informed and confident moving forward.
