    Dr. Hong spent a fair amount of time with us, listening to extensive background information and discussing multiple possibilities. She walked us through next steps and was very thorough. I highly recommend her to everyone I speak with. She has saved the life of both of my children and continues to provide excellent care whenever needed, going above and beyond the normal hours of work to do so.
