Dr Wong was a very good Doctor, unfortunately he has retired and now brought into his practice Dr Charles Harrod. He is one of the worst MD's I have ever encountered. He will ruin Dr Wongs reputation. I recently brought my mother there for an appointment regarding pulmonary issues and a cat scan that showed Pulmonary Fibrosis. Rather than him explaining what this disease was, what treatments were available, what stage of lung issues she had, what further tests were available etc...he told her he was surprised she was even alive at her age with this diagnosis and there was NOTHING that could be done except take steroids with flare up. That was it. My mother and I were in shock. What a horrible thing to say to someone. Although my mother is older, she has had very good health, has no shortness of breath or breathing issues but a susceptibility to bronchitis. She has a very active lifestyle.
I called immediately upon leaving and spoke to the poor gal at the front desk who not only answers the phone and checks in all patients ( while the other workers there appeared to be socializing with each other) I told her Dr Harrod was completely inappropriate. She apologized and said she would have the office manager call. I never hear back from anyone and that was a week ago.
We are now referred to UCD Med Center Pulmonary Clinic. Now we will get the inforamtion we should have gotten at this office. read more
