Horrible horrible office. Doctor is extremely rude and dismissive. He wouldn’t let me finish a single sentence during a phone consult, really. My husband heard the entire conversation because it was on speaker phone and even he was floored. The doctor literally would not let me speak and only wanted to hear his own voice because he’s obviously right and I’m wrong and the experience I’ve been living for 2 years is invalid according to him because it doesn’t fit his textbook expectations.Office doesn’t send appointment reminders and then has the nerve to charge or expect payment for missed appointments. No reminder sent prior to the appointment. I understand it’s patient responsibility to keep track of their appointments but some of us work 2 jobs, are in the middle of a move and are coping with our medical condition while the only thing their office has to do is manage paperwork and appointments. I guess that is too overwhelming for them. I think they don’t remind people about upcoming appointments to easier collect money since they think a rebooking is guaranteed because people are desperate.I am desperate but not desperate enough to ever attend this office.

Dr. Chet Wong's receptionist is enthusiastic and approachable. Keep up the good work!Dr. Chet Wong himself is alright. He can come off as blunt and dismissive (e.g., if I understood correctly, he told me he isn't aware of anyone who develops allergies in adulthood, which would be silly since adult-onset allergies are real), but he's professional, and his opinion is worth considering, even if you disagree with what he says or how he says it. For context, I only had telephone calls with Dr. Wong and his receptionist.As long as you don't expect to be coddled and you understand that Dr. Wong and his team are just trying to help you get better with whatever you're dealing with, then you'll get the help you need.

Went to see allergist Dr. Chet Wong for my toddler to do an allergy test. Reviews do not lie. He is very short, cold, rude and overall not pleasant to deal with. His tone is extremely condescending. I thought maybe he's having a bad day but clearly that's the way he is. I would avoid this doctor and seek another one if you are referred to him.Basically gave no info other than to completely avoid all related allergens and to see him again in about a year.Clinic waiting room is also dirty. There's dust and grime all over and the floors don't look like they've been cleaned in weeks.The receptionist is friendly though.

I got the initial consultation during the same week when the referral was sent out (Mid-Dec 2022). Dr Wong asked many detailed questions about my medical and medication history, and made suggestions on the pills I can take to relieve the symptoms until our first in-person appointment in March 2023. Upon the initial meeting, Dr Wong was very informative and tried his best to help. The front desk staff are also friendly. I highly recommend this place.

To be honest I had my reservation after reading the reviews before my appointment. I found the whole process similar to another allergy doctor 7-8 years ago. Dr Wong listened to me describing my symptoms and allergy history. He took a test on my arms and confirmed what I had before. To fall on the safe side, he referred me to an ENT doctor after the appointment. The whole process took less than 30mins. Yes, he doesn't laugh or make jokes and might appear stoic at times, but I don't find him rude. If any, he's just a straight shooter. Perhaps that's not some expected from a doctor, but I found no problem with it.

Chet Wong is a terrible doctor. Rushed through the appointment and I felt like he didnt care about my well being. I was sent there by my family doctor for allergy testing.The testing center said my lungs needed a closer examination despite the inconclusive results. Chet Wong dismissed this and said the results are black and white. No problems (when really feel like I have lung issues). He didnt care.His line of questioning and examination is intimidating and almost berating. I ended up getting allergy shots and he told me basically they dont help with any allergy symptoms (why would people get it then?). After I Googled the medication he prescribed, they actually do help alleviate my symptoms (and they have).I'm not sure where Chet Wong was educated but he needs to get evaluated again...or maybe he needs to find a heart. He's terrible. Find another option if you have one.Note: His receptionist is a sweetheart.

These other reviews are delusional. My appointment with Dr. Chet Wong was super quick and easy. Receptionist was very nice and welcoming when I arrived. Dr. Wong asked me a standard set of questions (Existing conditions, medication, symptoms, etc.) and performed a quick allergy test. No hidden surprises, very informed consultation, and very quick appointment. I was out in 30 mins. Dr. Wong is a straight shooter, no BS. Can't recommend him enough!

The worse experience at a doctors office. Dr Wong is rude and has no compassion for patients. He told me to leave the office to call my husband to decide if I wanted to do a skin test or blood test. I just needed two minutes to make the decision but I was kicked out of the office and he took another patient in because he told me I was late and he had other appointments. I asked the reception when we could do the skin test, she said that the doctor will need another 20 minutes as he needs to finish with his other patient first. It is super unprofessional to see one patient and stop halfway, just because I needed two minutes to make a decision with my husband.

I’ll be honest. After reading the reviews before my appointment, I was scared and genuinely felt that I should cancel my appointment. After actually going to the appointment yesterday, I feel like he is nowhere as bad as what some reviews depict him to be. Sure, he may be direct or straightforward but that doesn’t affect the purpose of the appointment. Also, before the allergy test, he told me (even though I didn’t ask him) what the test would be like and warned that it would hurt a bit. He also asked me if I had any questions for him before the test. I usually don’t leave reviews but I felt like I should because this doctor was not even half as bad as what some reviews have said. After all, we don’t expect customer service at the doctor’s right?

I read the entire review before the appointment and was upset that I was referred to this doctor.But the reality was much better. This doctor is an introvert by himself, he says everything about the case without blabla, not rude. But this does not mean that he is a bad specialist. The doctor ran the skin test well. He determined the type of allergy, gave me an instruction sheet, prescribed drops and tablets. He answered all my questions.If you have problems or need a prescription for other drops, please always contact him.
