Dr. Kwong has been my breast surgeon for 2 surgeries associated with breast cancer. She has treated me with the greatest respect and care throughout the entire process. She still sees me every 4 months for follow-up and examination. I cannot speak higher for this excellent surgeon and person. I consider myself very lucky that she was the doctor assigned to my case.

This woman not only botched my surgery and has left me in perm pain, but failed to diagnose lymphademia.

Dr. Kwong is just wonderful! She helped me through every facet of my breast surgery from explaining the diagnosis, to what to expect from my surgery, and was there for me all the way through. She was so caring, and is well respected here in Portland as a surgeon. Her stellar reputation is well deserved!

patients need doctors that will not lie to them. Doctor Kwong will tell you she is performing a surgery, but hand it off to residents, ask women to strip in front of residents and students. Fails to offer women gowns for exams. The woman is a monster.
