Dr. Hung has been taking care of me for almost five years. He's very good. He talks to you. He talks to you in a way you know what's going on, not like somebody talking over you. I think he's one of the greatest doctors out there. Thank you.

Dr Hong and his staff are great! I have told soooo many people about him. If you have cancer in your liver, so see him. Yes, I highly recommend him! He listens and is concerned about his patients.

Dr. Hong and team are all encompassing. They have a unique way of ensuring the patient's overall well being. For instance, his lighthearted jokes and reassurance of a POSITIVE/HOPEFUL approach to the diagnosis takes away some of the worry and fear that I am already forced to deal with daily. I am so appreciative of his smart, professional, yet compassionate care. It has such a positive impact on myself and my whole family.

Dr Hong can impress everyone with his knowledge and expertise of medicine but what makes Dr Hong so special is that he can and will evaluate any possible avenues to help his patients. Also his easy to talk approach and "translation of medical language to English language" is amazing and so much needed for a struggling, depressed patient. Dr Hong gained our trust from the very first visit.

Yeah, in reference to Dr. Hung, I'm kind of wary of doctors. This is the first time that I'm getting some kind of major surgery done and I have complete faith in this guy. He explained everything to me and I can't think of a bad thing to say. I wouldn't do the surgery, I'd just get part of it done if it were somebody else I think. But no, he's got me feeling pretty positive about this, as positive as you can. So from 1 to 10, I give him about a 15. And that's that. See you later.
