    Dr. Wilson Tong would not be my first choice in recommending a doctor to a friend with Cancer. He…read morewas my Oncologist for 7 months. He didn't have the skill, knowledge or education in order to treat the rare type of cancer I suffer from. Though he did say he had some experience, he wanted to defer every aspect of my treatment to my other Oncologist at another office. Though he gives out a professional profile on Epic Care's website that Oncology is personal to him due to family members dealing with the disease. You would never know that fact by his bedside manner. I would never treat a family member with cancer the way he treats his patients. He has a nervous, boyishly shy demeanor, (doesn't look you in the eye while talking)and will promise you things in his office fulfilling your requests. However, becomes aggressive and underhandedly arrogant at other times when you're not in person. He's fairly new to the Epic Care Antioch staff, and its my opinion that he is the worse asset for that team. He's insensitive, unsympathetic and nothing you'd expect from a caring Oncologist. He doesn't TREAT his patients, he passively observes and allows other clinicians to do all the work. He will not support your input and allow you to be a partner in your health care decisions. It is very difficult to begin with one Oncologist but having to switch because things didn't work out. He never contacted me to hear what my concerns were or how he could improve my experience with him. Now, since I'm still a patient at Epic Care he stares me up and down as if this is a street fight. I hold my head up knowing I made the right decision to let him go. And that I have gained clinicians that are real Oncologists that truly care about my well being, and show it. Cancer is hard enough to go through, do not add this inadequate doctor to your "dream team" of healers. Heed my warning and avoid Dr. Tong while battling cancer. He won't last very long at Epic Care if more patients honestly see him for who he really is and boldly speak up. Shame on him for taking advantage of people while they are suffering and in their most vulnerable stage.

    Absolutely the most amazing Doctor I have ever met! Blessed and honored to have had him care for my…read moremother who had stage 4 cancer before she ever had a single symptom. Dr. Tong is professional, compassionate, always there when we needed him. There wasn't a single part of her journey he wasn't involved in. If he was taking a quick trip or short vacation he always made sure we knew exactly what to do and who to contact, who would be on call, signs and side effects to be aware of, etc. He never once left us with unanswered questions of expected outcomes or how to deal with them. Every transfusion, scan, chemo, radiation, every little detail he was there and I mean right there for us. I can never adequately explain how dedicated he was throughout her 14 month journey. He never gave us false hope, honored every single one of my mother's wishes, and never questioned her ability to fight her disease to the best of her ability. Meeting this man changed our lives forever. The World's Greatest Doctor.

    Updated review. A few years ago went to this facility and it was awful. What I have learned it…read morewas not Kaiser but the doctor we had the time. She is no longer there. We have a new doctor now and she has been very good. Since then my husband had a accident and was treated at emergency. The care was amazing. Fast forward, my husband now has AML (cancer), his oncologist is out of Oakland, as the Oncologist at Antioch recommended him as being the best for my husbands type of Cancer. We still go to Antioch for most of his procedures, it has been a scary road, and I would say even through the Pandemic the care has been very good. (usually due to time constraints) but I know John Muir is worse, the hospital is in Walnut Creek and so are most of the specialists. What a difference a few years make.

    My post-surgery experience was very disappointing. When I reached out to request a work release…read moreletter, I felt like I was inconveniencing the office staff rather than being supported as a patient recovering from surgery. The interactions I had with the surgery department felt rushed and, at times, condescending, with little empathy or understanding shown. Even the follow-up phone calls reflected a similar tone, which made an already stressful recovery period more frustrating. I expected a higher level of care, professionalism, and compassion, especially after undergoing a medical procedure. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. If I could this would be a negative -10
