Has the best team that cover all the bases, with a bedside manner to match. All you have to do is ask to find out what you need to know. His talents match today’s evolution in surgery techniques and minimally invasive procedures. Attention to detail by the entire team is amazing from admission to hospital till discharge.

Dr Hong was extremely professional and caring since my first visit. He takes the time to explain things and follow up was the best. He always called me with results soon after exams/scans had been done. I was lucky to have him as my doctor and highly recommend to whoever needs a thoracic surgeon.

Dr Hong is amazing! He is personable and has great bedside manner besides being extremely technically proficient. He did a fabulous job performing VATS (video-assisted thoracic surgery) to biopsy some lung nodules on me. My scars are way smaller than others I have seen. Highly recommend (he is easy on the eyes as well girls, always a plus in my book)!
