DR WENDY WONG

Excellent knee surgeon. Dr. Wong performed a partial replacement of my right knee. And a year later, my knee is in great shape.

Dr. Wendy Wong is an excellent surgeon and doctor. I would refer her to everyone that needs her expertise.

Dr Wong did a hip replacement for me a couple years ago. It couldn’t have been a better experience. Her staff is excellent and she provides consistent care. She is hard to get an appointment with, but she’s worth the wait. It looks like I am approaching a second replacement and I wouldn’t go to anyone else.

I am almost 4 weeks post full hip replacement and want to give a huge shout out to Wendy Wong and team along with the Sequoia Surgical Pavilion for the great care and overall experience. As a former executive I really appreciate how they have thought out and refined the entire process, from initial consultation, pre-op, the actual surgery, to the post-op. The truly have thought out how to maximize success and eliminate issues along the way. I never felt rushed through the process and all of my questions were answered along the way. I highly recommend Wendy and her team and would not hesitate to recommend her to family and friends!

(Translated by Google) I think it is the best chiropractic. I feel confident talking to them. I have to have my hip replaced but I know I am in good hands. (Original) Yo creo que es la mejor quiropráctica me siento en confianza de platicar me tienen que reemplazar mi cadera pero yo sé que estoy en buenas manos

Dr Wong is a very pleasant doctor and is well respected and is well worth the wait to get to see her!

Dr. Wong is very knowledgeable. They took digital x-rays at the office and she was able to diagnose my hip issue right away. I wish she had shown me the x-rays while I was there. With so many questions and concerns we have when we are at the office, I realized after the visit that I should have taken a look at the x-rays. They should be reviewed with the patient during the visit. She answered my list of questions and was quick to leave for her next appointment.

As a former HS & Collegiate Cross Country & Track runner from the late 70’s, then Marathons as an Adult, I never had any issues with my knees……until recently. After years of pounding and thousands of miles my knees had bone on bone. I first found this out 20 years prior when I was to have my Miniscus scraped, only to be told by the surgeon “We didn’t have to do it as you have no Miniscus left”. At which that should have been a sign of the future. As time passed, running stopped (due to the swelling of the knee) walking long distances became burdensome and I thought - lets look at a knee replacement. I met with two different Knee Orthopedic Surgeons and felt that Dr. Wong provided a younger approach at the surgery and used a robotic technology vs. some of the elder Dr’s. I found her to be very attentive, give me the time I needed for all the questions and was extremely thorough in her analysis and diagnosis. As surgery came, it was all I expected, the recovery exactly as she stated. With a daughter who is a PM&R Dr. I asked her a lot of questions as Dr. Wong and the PT team shared with me advise, and all aligned with our daughters receommendations (not being an Ortho Surgeon I still aksed our daughter - the Doctor. Dr. Wong provided a great bedside manner, has all the training, experience and use of new robotic technology to deliver a great knee replacement. I highly receommend you get in shape priopr to the procedure in terms of leg excersizes and lots of walking. Do the excersizes and PT religiously to aid in the recovery process. I am now 9 months post surgery and was back on the treadmill at Crunch Gym 2 1/2 months, doing 2 miles and wight work and looking forward to this years ski season. I highly recommend Dr. Wong.

Dr Wong is a new Dr for me as my other orthopedic surgeon retired upon first coming to the office. I was a little skeptical because the office is so big and so many people working there, and so many different offices I was used to just one doctor, and one receptionist I was instantly impressed by how personable everyone there is. The doctor put me at ease immediately. She is answered all my questions and concerned, and I’m very happy to have her as my orthopedic surgeon.

I sent an email to Dr. Wong that I had extreme pain in my right hip after a cortisone shot. The office called the next day to schedule an appt.

Dr.Wong was amazing! She explained everything very clear and answered all the questions I had. She has the Best customer service! I highly recommend her 💯%.

If you're looking for an amazing Orthopedic Surgeon to fix your knee(s)?!..Look no further, YOU FOUND HER!! Dr Wong did a revision on my right knee and took my awful grinding pain away!! She is a total professional in every way.. Her staff took care of everything without any hassle. I put all my trust in Dr. Wong..You should too!!!!

Dr. Wong is friendly, upbeat and easy to talk to. I look forward to having her do my knee replacement surgery.

Golden State Orthopedics is a wonderful place. Wendy Wong performed a total knee replacement on my left knee. Dr. Wong is very professional and truly cares about you !! The front desk staff are also great. I am forever happy with my new knee and Golden State Orthopedics. Thank

A personable talented professional! Thank You. Vinod Wadhawan

Dr. Wendy Wong performed a left hip replacement in 2021 and I was walking after the surgery. Four days later I was walking without a cane or a walker and I felt no pain whatsoever. I was 73 years old at time of surgery and the recovery time was almost instant. Now I’m walking on the average of 5 miles a day and with no pain at all, and I climb stairs with no pain. Dr. Wendy Wong is number one in my book she is a great surgeon and a great person. If anybody is looking for an orthopedic surgeon she is the one trust me

Dr Wang is very knowledgeable and listened To my questions and answered very detailed

Dr. W. Wong is excellent surgeon. She is straight forward, direct, and explains the process in language you understand. She answers all questions, follow through is timely, and she is compassionate without being sappy. I found this hip replacement experience far easier than I worried about. My recovery as a result has been rapid. Total recommend her and her staff.

Very professional and helpful information on treatment of my knee needs Thank you 😊

After educating me on PRP technique/procedure/expectations… our joint decision was to start with one hip then if successful include the other hip. That was over 8 months ago. I feel terrific. The pain is totally gone, mobility is easy again, and I have flexibility for golf, gardening, and teaching again. Dr Wong’s advice, outline of expectations, and follow up were extraordinary. I’m extremely happy to refer HER and her guidance as to the best resolution for me. Most sincerely, Gail Bishop

Dr. Wong has been great surgeon for me with my full knee replacement. I am back to biking, hiking, skiing, golfing, etc. And have zero issues. Most of all the daily swelling pain is all gone. No more nagging, throbbing, knees at night, trying to sleep or even just walking downstairs. Dr. Wong is full of energy and wants nothing more than for you to be your best self.

I would highly recommend Dr. Wendy Wong for any orthopedic surgery! I had a robotic total knee replacement on 2/15 and am extremely satisfied with her care and expertise. She is simply the BEST! I have confidently recommended her to everyone I know! I can't thank her enough for going that extra mile for me!

Dr Wendy Wong is a very nice doctor. She did hip surgery for my daddy 7 years ago. When we visited her office this time. She still check very well on his hip. Also place the lab work and bone scan. Make sure everything is Ok before my daddy go back to China. We are so appreciate her superb medical skill.

Dr. Wong is an excellent surgeon! I've done my right tka with her. I'm getting ready to do a right hip and left tka. I feel completely confident in her surgical skills and expertise!♥️

Dr. Wong did a partial right knee replacement and I was very satisfied with the outcome. I never had any pain or discomfort. The only thing I took was Tylenol and I don’t think I even needed that, I was just being cautious. I could walk over a mole within a week of my surgery.

Dr Wong has replaced both a hip and knee on me. First she’s an excellent orthopedic surgeon. She may be small in size but she is one very mighty surgeon. All my office visits for various other things plus my surgeries have been informative and she takes the time to answer your questions and set you at ease. She gets an A+ in my book as a surgeon and a person.

Dr. Wendy Wong is an incredible doctor! She did a full hip replacement and also a total knee replacement. Naturally there is pain involved with these surgeries. However, I feel that she did a great job and they healed very well and quickly. I highly recommend her as a caring and good surgeon!

Welcoming and efficient

I have been seeing Dr. Wong for about 18 months now for knee issues. She is always attentive, takes the time to answer all my questions, explain things in a clear manner and provide excellent treatment. She is obviously very skilled and knowledgeable and has never rushed me out of the office to get to the next patient. I always feel comfortable leaving knowing I am in good hands.

Hi everyone I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Elrashidy during the pandemic for issues with my knee. As uncomfortable and unpleasant as pain can be my visit to Golden State Ortho turned out to be a very great positive and hopeful experience. Thankfully before referral to the surgeon Dr. Wendy Wong, we discussed alternative solutions to surgery. So I was offered and received injections to my knee. The staff along with Dawn and Dr. Elrashidy are fantastic! They're an office of all pleasant and wonderful people from the moment you walk in and connect with the receptionists at the front desk to the X-ray technician, etc. I found the environment clean and comfortable; and you're treated with the utmost respect and dignity. Thank you Dr. Elrashidy, Dr. Wendy Wong, Dawn and your amazing staff!

Dr. Wendy Wong is wonderful. She is kind and compassionate for your needs and concerns.

Post TKA. I trust her with all my medical issues.  3 mos after taking and life is great!

Excellent service! Very friendly and quick! I get cortisone shots in my knees and I'm in and out ! Very grateful! Highly recommend!

Attentive, serious, and task oriented. Very busy.

Attentive, knows patient and history, willing to spend time to discuss options despite being very busy.

If I could give her a higher rating, I would, she did my total hip, and within a 2 1/2 week period, I was walking 1 to 2 miles a day. I have been recommending her to other people. I would give her a 15, on a scale from 1 to 5

Dr. Wong is a commensurate professional, a technically skilled surgeon, but more than that, is an incredibly compassionate physician. I was referred to her by one of my colleagues for my mother, who needed a total knee replacement. Dr. Wong did an amazing job - the xrays looked perfect, she was attentive to my mom's needs (and mine, as the hovering son who is also an orthopod), and in under 3 months, my 84-year-old mother was hiking around Italy and Croatia with a painless and very functional new knee! As a fellow orthopedic surgeon, I give Dr. Wong my highest recommendation: she's one of the most skilled arthroplasty surgeons I've encountered, and has high expectations for both herself and her patients. What you will get with Dr. Wong is the height of empathy with excellent outcomes. Thank you, Dr. Wong, for giving my Mom back her quality of life, and the ability for my family to make many more memories together on our international adventures. My family and I appreciate you so much!

Good.

Dr. Wong came in the room she said "your knee is bone to bone. With out asking me or knowing how much pain I am in or any thing about my situation she went right to my weight I still need to loose. And that was that Every person should be elevated on what's their situation. For 5 years I have been dealing with my knee, about 2 years ago my knee would give me pain and it started me falling, I took some awful falls which made the pain more constant. About 9 months ago I started using a.walker. nothing is helping the pain. Not just my right knee is bone to bone both my knees are my right knee is gives me extreme anxiety and extreme pain when I sit down, when I stand up, when I sit in a chair, when I lay down. I have to use the walker all the time and it hurts to walk depression has taken over. My quality of life is gone Dr Buckley referred me he knew how hard I been trying to loose weight and I lost 30 pounds he said he knows I need a total knee replacement he even scheduled me for a pre-op the next week with Dr.Thomas . Dr.Buckley said Dr.wong might question the fact I still have weight to loose but it should be ok. I am still going to continue to loose weight. I do not talk to my friends or leave my . house . The pain comsums everything. My MRI shows damaged besides the bone on bone. Not only knee pain I deal with my whole leg aches.. Depression makes you want to eat so I battle that I might have to give my dog away because it hurts me to out side. And I move so slowly I do not always make to the bathroom in time and getting in and out of shower is almost unbearable I fell getting out of the shower it all in God's and Dr Wong hands

Besides being exceptionally knowledgeable; Dr. Wong has superb bed-side manners. I really consider myself really lucky to have Dr. Wong to be my Orthopedic Physician

I have bone on bone in my knee, and one of the consideration is to get a knee surgery, and she gave me a consult and made me feel very at ease . She also informed me what I would Endure when I have my knee surgery and how long of a recovery and what to expect.

I'll have to admit, that my first appointment with Dr Wong didn't go so well. She told me I could not get surgery unless I lost weight. I left pretty upset. But I did not give up and lost the weight. Dr Wong has integrity and is serious about her work. She has excellent credentials and a lot of experience in this field. She has a very cheery disposition which is helpful when dealing with a total knee replacement. I will do another review after I've completed my surgery. I would definitely recommend Dr Wendy Wong and Golden State orthopedics there very professional and kind.

Dr. Wong is thorough and precise! She’ll tell you when the diagnoses is straight forward and when it requires further diagnostics. My wife was seen today for her hip and I was allowed to accompany her. Dr. Wong is pleasant with a good bedside manner. She answered all questions and her staff is 1st rate as well! I recommend her highly!

Dr. Wendy Wong is very knowledgable and takes the time to explain everything in a way that can be understood. She is compassionate and professional and takes time to answer all questions. It is clear that her patients and their needs are a priority for her.

Dr. Wendy Wong did a knee (right knee) replacement surgery for my wife, aged 87, at the end of June 2023. The surgery was successful. Before surgery, my wife walks with very much pain and cannot do stairs, and her right knee is crooked. After two months she can walk pain free. To-date (October 2023), she is doing her routine 3 miles morning walks and can do stairs again. And her right knee is now straight. It was also amazing that during the whole recovery, healing and physical therapy process, my wife did not need nor use pain medication stronger than Tylenol and occasionally Celebrex. We are so grateful for God's blessings and Dr. Wendy expertise, enabling my wife regain her mobility. Thank you Dr. Wendy Wong.

Dr. Wendy Wong is the absolute best! Dr. Wong replaced my right hip in October 2022. It is better than ever. I highly recommend Dr. Wendy Wong!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best is yet to come. I had my first appointment and the staff was professional and caring. I've been a bit down due to constant pain in my hips. Today is the first day in awhile that my hope level was higher than my pain level. I'm excited to be a patient of Wendy Wong MD BECAUSE her kindness and knowledge have trickled down the line of this business. Thanks

Had full knee replacement done by Dr. Wong in April 2023. The experience with Dr. Wong and her associates was excellent, they have a great setup at Sequoia Surgical. I asked for the "sport model" and I think I got it, I've been riding my mountain bike on it really hard on rugged,rocky downhills and jumps a.nd no problems, no pain. I am going to try skiing next and then have her replace my other one.

Dr. Wendy Wong is the absolute best.  Dr. Wong replaced my hip in October 2022.  It is better than ever.

I cannot recommend Dr Wong highly enough. I have just had my one year anniversary xray of my hip replacement and, as I expected, it showed my new hip to be perfect. Not only did she fix my hip but, because she adjusted the alignment of my pelvis, my knees no longer hurt either. I am also happy to report that I had so little post-operative pain that I had no need of the prescribed opioids. Not only is Dr Wong a premiere surgeon but she couples this with a warm and patient personal approach, ensuring that she carefully explains the upcoming procedure and addressing any concerns you may have. I have every confidence in recommending Dr Wong as your orthopedic surgeon; I couldn't be happier with my choice of her.

Dr Wong was professional and personal. She answered all my questions and concerns. Her honesty was refreshing I would highly recommend her

Very professional. Dr. Wong is the best Dr. She has helped me tremendously. And listens to me. I will have her to my next surgery when needed. Please don't hesitate to see her. My knee is doing well. You can hardly see the scar. My other Drs are amazed. Thank you Dr. Wong.

Dr Wendy Wong is an amazing orthopedic surgeon. You can tell from her enthusiastic demeanor that she loves her profession and helping people regain their quality of life. If you are considering orthopedic surgery and read the personal online stories that abound, you of course see the gamut from highly successful to extremely unsuccessful surgeries. So I was wary about the surgery, but knew I had to do it. I had no cartilage left in my knee and walking/standing was very painful. I met and immediately trusted Dr. Wong and received a total knee replacement. My physical therapists were amazed at my swift recovery. Dr Wong uses the robotic assistant so the implant was precisely tailored to my anatomical structure. I highly recommend Dr. Wendy Wong at Golden State Orthopedics & Spine in Walnut Creek. I have regained a pain-free mobility I haven’t had in years!

Why didn’t I do this sooner? The process from start to finish was seamless. From Dr Wong to her office people, to the hospital medical staff, to the hospital cleaners were wonderful. Even billing and administrative aspects were terrific. I’m now 5 months out and am pain free and happy. Thanks, Dr Wong and staff!!

I was promptly seen and my issue was addressed. Dr. Wong was thorough and pleasant. I would recommend going to see her!

First and foremost surprisingly Dr Wong( nickname "TreDub") will be my first female physician of previous 12 orthopedic surgeons. I'm extremely excited share my detailed recovery and return to full power production ( boxers generate power in our hips) in over 20years unknowingly injured. Her reputation and skill as expert technician in the Anterior approach explain her confidence and success rate. As detailed oriented( as she is attractive 😊)also grabs your attention. You not only feel like getting away with anything counterproductive to your recovery won't fly here. An almost compulsed to do nothing but follow her lead as at this moment she is "Alpha" to your Beta. Funny how women lament that confidence,not arrogance make men more attractive! In Dr Wong's case her flawless lack of wrinkles is a by-product of confidence.Confidence which in turn remove every ounce of worry about outcome of her work. This Surgeon is pure 🔥🔥🔥😉

Dr Wendy Wong is the best Orthopedic I know! She genuinely cares for her patients and she goes all out to help them! I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you Dr. Wendy Wong for all of your help!

Superb doctor for total hip replacement. Absolutely a pleasure to work with and made process so easy. Walking in the same day with minimal pain and within a week was not even using any walking assistance! Hip pain gone! If you're hesitant to do this procedure as you think it might be a lot to deal with Dr.Wong is the doctor for you. She is fabulous and we are so glad we chose her for my husbands hip replacement.

Dr. Wong has been treating me for both of my knees. She has been supportive to help me with my knee pain, and I feel I am in good hands. She is a caring doctor, and communicates well with treatment options.

I was visiting Walnut Creek from out of town when I fell and required hip placement surgery. I was taken to Walnut Creek Medical Center where I was treated by Dr. Wendy Wong, M.D. Orthopedic Surgeon. Dr. Wong gave me a thorough explanation of the injury and surgical process of replacement. I was standing a few hours after surgery. Dr. Wong was most compassionate and professional with a manner that put me at ease. I would highly recommend Dr. Wong for Orthopedic surgical needs. At my post op follow up appointment with Dr. Wong, I found her staff at Golden State Orthopedics to be most professional and helpful. I am on my way to a very positive recovery.

Very professional and good.

Dr Wong and her whole team are very professional. All my questions have been answered and I feel complete confidence that I have made the correct choice of doctors for my pending hip replacement. I look forward to being made physically well again and becoming more active. I am so glad I am in in Doctor Wongs care.

I am amazed at how quickly my right hip replacement is healing. This is week 5 - No Walker or cane for at least a couple of weeks. No pain, the physical therapy works wonders. This is a very simple recovery. Wish I had done this much sooner. Dr Wong is the finest. Extremely satisfied…THANK YOU !!

Dr. Wendy Wong is an excellent dr. I love her positive personality and approach to modern medicine. She’s conservative and doesn’t encourage surgery without trying all options to resolve your issue. The staff at Golden State Ortho is great as well. I’d trust Dr. Wong with my 101yr. old Mom if I she need her care.

Very friendly and knowledgeable. She really cares about you as a patient.

Great Surgeon

All my visits with Dr. Wong have been great. She is very motivated to get you better and back to living life. She is funny, inviting, larger than life, and she will push you on getting better and getting stronger and flexible, which is what most of need. I would highly recommend her for knee replacement surgery or any other type of Orthopedic surgery. My experience with my knee replacement has been great, better than I could have hoped for. After having bone on bone arthritis issues for over 10 years, it was time tfor the replacement and I am extremely happy with my results after only nine weeks. I can ride a bike and I already played 2 full rounds of golf, with minimal post play swelling. She is the best as far as I am concerned.

She did a great job on my hip. Very small scar, much smaller than others I've seen. I was 1000% better 3 weeks later. If you are having pain, get it done. Its quick and easy.

Dr. Wendy Wong is an excellent surgeon and a leader in her field…She is warm and friendly as is her staff and the patients are treated with respect. All considerations are given to make sure you are well informed before, during and after your surgery…I could not have asked for a better experience for my Hip Replacement.

Dr. Wong is an awesome surgeon. I had both my knees replaced within eight months and I’m doing wonderful. My recovery time was short and I’m back to doing everything. I’m so happy thank you Dr. Wong.

Dr. Wong is a highly skilled orthopedic physician who is also very caring and communicating. She is precision and accurate when deal with my orthopedic case. Consider myself luck to be in her hands.

Dr Wong is amazing!!

I had both my knees done by Dr Wendy Wong and I am super happy. I have not walked right for 20 years. My legs are so straight; they were bad enough that I had to remain on crutches until surgery. Thank you Dr Wong!!

Super attentive, caring physician (Dr Wong) and staff!!!

Dr Wong is very knowledgeable and is a great listener. I trust her advice and feel that I am getting excellent care with her. I would highly recommend her.

As a former gymnast with aching hips, I needed to seek help after a lot of hiking last summer. I searched for a surgeon in the Bay area and found Dr. Wendy Wong. From the first consultation Dr. Wong took her time with me to listen to my concerns for flexibility after surgery. She was honest and thorough in her assessment of my hips, length of time for total recovery and her best estimation for my flexibility after surgery. I also learned hip replacements is Dr. Wong’s favorite procedure to perform and the easiest joint replacement to recover from. The entire process from scheduling the surgery date, pre-exercises, selecting a coach, the joint coordinator and nurses, and multiple texts to provide recovery status to the doctor were very helpful and seamless. Dr. Wong is also very careful to make the smallest incision. Nothing short of a miracle she removed and replaced my hip leaving a short 3” scar. The biggest miracle for me was my coach who helped me throughout the recovery. Having a coach or someone committed to assist you after surgery is recommended by Golden State Orthopedic & Spine and crucial to a successful recovery. Because I was able to rest and heal, I didn’t need to take any pain medication after surgery other than Tylenol as directed. My physical therapy was scheduled within a week and lasted for 12 weeks. Overall, my experience with Dr. Wong and the entire staff at GSOS was impeccable. They have set the bar for me, and I will definitely be back for the next hip, or knee!

Very professional and easy to talk to. Had great experience.

I’m so grateful for Dr. Wendy Wong. She is very precise, knowledgeable and an excellent Surgeon. She is warm, friendly and kind. I will be having my second knee replacement surgery with her soon and I completely trust her. Thank You Dr. Wong! You are appreciated.😊

Dr. Wendy Wong replaced my left hip and most recently my right hip. I am thrilled to have my life back without any complications from both procedures. If anyone is needing a hip or knee replacement, please go to the best, Dr. Wendy Wong!

Dr. Wong has worked on both knees. She has become the go to Dr. In the Bay Area. Her compassion, skills and professionalism are outstanding. I continue to refer friends to her without hesitation.

I had groin pain for years, after I was seen by Dr. Wendy Wong my pain is much better.😉 Thank you, Veronica Freeman

Expert, caring and considerate doctor who always remembers patient history. Recommendations are always measured and tries to avoid extreme steps or treatment right away.

Dr. Wong and her team are amazing! I had my left knee arthritis surgery with her and in less than a year I got back to my normal life. I was able to return home couple of hours after surgery and I didn’t experience painful surgery. Dr. Wong and her team had regular follow ups and made sure to achieve the treatment goal and I highly recommend her.

I would like to share my life changing experience with Dr. Wong and Dr.Anatasia. My Wife had both hips replaced 3 yrs ago by Dr. Wong. The surgery immediately restored her quality of life and  she became active and most importantly Pain free. The newer Golden State Surgery Center in Walnut Creek is nothing less than first class with all the most current equipment and comfortable overnite recovery rooms. The Nurses were very attentive and caring. 3 weeks ago Sept.29, 2022 I had a full knee replacement and an extensive leg procedure in the lower leg. Im currently attending PT 2x weekly and am doing very well as Im off the walker and have the meds turned way down or off. My leg was a mess, the surgery staff did a wonderful job with getting me walking better than I have in 25 yrs. Im working hard to maximize my recovery and cant thank Dr.Wong enough for restoring my walking, posture and freeing me of the hip and back pain. I recommend everyone to see her prior to agreeing with any surgeon. You wont be disappointed. Thank you, Steve Gregory Danville

I've been with Dr. Wong for 2 years, she has kept me imform and is very knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend seeing her if you're having issues with the knees or back

I had both of my knee replacements done by Dr Wendy Wong and am so pleased with the results. Both knees were bone on bone and cortisone shots no longer gave me any relief. So glad I got them done and am finally pain free! Dr Wong and her team were so involved in my care and kept me informed all the way through the process. I highly recommend her and she’s absolutely amazing!

I am posting this for my husband, Walt who had surgery, Bi-lateral knee replacement 10 years ago. One of the knees failed, and he needed to have another knee replacement done which Dr Wong did 1st part of June 2022. His experience has been great. He is recovering very well and never needed to take any narcotics such as Oxycodone post surgery. He has only taken mild pain killers. Dr Wong has been with him every step of this journey and has been very pleased with his progress. We recommend her highly.

Dr Wong did an anterior hip replacement. Two days after surgery was using only Tylenol for pain except for physical therapy days when I would take a pain pill. After two weeks I was walking without a walker and no cane. I can’t believe how pain free life is now. Wish I hadn’t waited so long. Dr Wong really is the best.

Dr. Wong is an excellent surgeon and was very clear regarding process and expectations. I highly recommend her.

How do I begin to tell you about my experience with Dr Wong. Let’s start with this. If I could give her 10 stars I would. After being told I was just too heavy to have knee revision surgery, I walked in with a feeling of “ oh here we go again”. She is going to say the same thing but she took the time to explain why I needed to lose weight. Sometimes all we need is an explanation because to me I was ok as a plus size woman. I left feeling that I could do it but it was going to take time. Each month I would go back weighing less until I got to 3 pounds from my goal . I honestly couldn’t believe I really lost and kept off 70 pounds. My surgery is next week and I’m just grateful for Dr Wong, she is kind and honest. It’s logged under the email address it’s from April McFarland

I was pleased with my orthopedic and the beautiful job she did for my surgery and will recommend her to someone else i recieved a total hip replacement which is major surgery and i feel like a new woman Dr Wendy Wong is a Blessing thank you so much

Dr Wendy Wong and her team are amazing. I recently had a anterior hip replacement. I went home the same day with a walker with minimal pain. The day after surgery I was no longer taking narcotics. I was able to start using a cane within a few days and now I can walk without a cane. The joint navigation team was awesome and I felt totally prepared for the procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. Wong, she is a very caring physician, answered all of my questions and I trusted her. If you want a narcotic free experience, I would recommend Dr. Wong for any procedure .

Dr. Wong is very caring and takes the time to listen to you. She hears your concerns and remembers for the next time she sees you. She is a little dynamo who is very positive and encouraging. I have had other doctors who have not been so kind or have shown concern like she does. She also understands the struggle of PTSD and is very considerate and thoughtful. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Wendy Wong. If you are considering surgery and you’re nervous or have anxiety she is an excellent doctor because she hears you, she listens and responds accordingly. I couldn’t have had my surgery done if it weren’t for her thoughtfulness and understanding.

I had 2 knee replacements with Dr. Wong and couldn’t be happier! She is so caring and personable. And then she goes to surgery and is so efficient, thorough and precise. She follows up with consistent physical therapy and has high expectations for your recovery. I’m so happy with my knew knees, all thanks to Dr. Wong!

I would not hesitate to have Dr Wendy Wong do a total hip replacement on my other hip joint in the future if needed.As soon as I woke up from surgery, the nurse allowed me to get up and walk unassisted at the hospital. I was able to walk unassisted (no walker or cane) after 2/3 days of surgery and physical therapy was started a week after surgery. As for pain medications (Oxycodone) I was able to stop taking it after second day at home. It has been 9 weeks post and recovery has gone smoothly. The incision has healed nicely. The only challenge at this juncture of recovery is the numbness on the side of hip running down to just above the knee. The nerve numbness should be reduced tremendously at the 6 months to a year according to my research on the web. I noticed that the nerve pain did start to diminish after post 5/6 weeks. Dr Wendy Wong did an excellent surgery of my hip without complications. At post op 2 months I am able to walk 2 miles daily and now at post op 3 months I'm walking between 2 and 3 miles daily. Thanks to Dr. Wendy Wong!

Dr Wong gave me first class care as a surgeon and a caring professional. She gave me a full knee replacement that went smoothly with no flaws. Her staff is excellent also. I highly recommend her.

The best surgeon ....everything is best..she takes care of me really well.

Wendy is very professional, personable and gets to know her patients. My knee replacement surgery went well. It has been six weeks since the surgery with PT and recovery going well. I am very pleased with the results so far. I highly recommend Dr. Wendy Wong.

Thank you !, Dr. Wong for making my Partial Knee Replacement surgery a success !!

Dr. Wendy Wong is not only professional, but personable. You always feel she has your best interests at heart. I have total confidence in her to perform my surgery. She has always taken the time to answer any questions I’ve had three previous knee surgeries over the last 15 years, done by three different surgeons. When my current surgeon, Dr. Wendy Wong, said I had run out of options and joint replacement was my only choice, I came within a hair of backing out. Every story I heard talked about excruciating pain, with even strong narcotics only bringing the pain to a level 8. Who wants that? With great trepidation, I went ahead and had Dr. Wong perform the surgery, knowing her hyaluronic injections were injected with a skill no other doctor had reached. It’s now been four weeks past the surgery, and I have controlled the typical pain (which is between a 1 and 2) with Tylenol and Celebrex (I have an allergy to NSAIDS such as aspirin and Ibuprofen) and ice and ice and ice. No narcotics were needed. The one occasion the pain got to a 4, I controlled it by icing. I am so glad I went ahead with the surgery with Dr. Wong. She has a “Midas touch.” The pain has not been nearly as bad as the horror stories led me to believe. I never considered taking a narcotic. I am recovering faster than expected and will soon be back doing what I want pain free without a narcotic addiction.

Dr. Wong and her staff are excellent. The entire staff communicates extremely well as to what will take place with your care; all the way from pre-op through post-op so you will have no surprises. They even offer pre-op classes (via Zoom) that provide you even more information and knowledge about your specific procedure. Dr. Wong is very knowledgeable, she always maintains a positive attitude and is very skilled at what she does.

Dr. Wong is knowledgeable, personable, professional, and she makes it easy to have honest discussions about your plan of care. In my case, the surgical results were outstanding. I’m very grateful.

DR Wong is GREAT!!!!!!…all the staff at MUIR ORTHOPEDICS are AMAZING too!!!!!!

I had my much needed (it was bone on bone) hip surgery on 2/19/21. I only needed the walker for TWO days and was walking normally after only one week. No pain killers were ever needed at home although I had two narcotics available to me. Not even Tylenol! It is now three weeks out and I am only carrying a cane because I was told to do it for a while. I feel fantastic and can't thank Dr. Wong enough for her skill and expertise.

Dr. Wendy Wong is awesome.. My diagnosis was very clear and to the point. I needed 2 Hip Replacements.. I'm a middle aged active female with avg body weight. I had endured years of arthritic pain until I basically couldn't walk on my own. I couldn't sleep, walk or function properly. The pain took over my life. Dr. Wong performed my first procedure at Sequoia Surgery Center in Walnut Creek. A new top notch facility with skilled, knowledgeable and professional personnel who executed everything perfectly. My recovery was incredible, just as I was told and expected. 5 months later, I had my second procedure which went exactly the same. Dr. Wong is a very reputable and respected orthopdic surgeon in the SF Bay Area.. I have regained my quality of life and am so thankful to Dr. Wong and her dream Team. This patient is my Wife Cynthia Gregory

Fantastic surgeon.  Made the correct diagnosis for my hip and solved the problem with a quick injection.  I had also seen a very well-respected hip surgeon at Stanford for an opinion.  His diagnosis and prescribed plan did not work at all.  Highly recommend Dr. Wong!

My husband is 43 and just had a total knee replacement. He has been recovering amazingly. He said himself had he known Dr. Wong was so amazing he would have been so reluctant to get it done. Her team is amazing and very helpful. Even during the weird times of Covid.

Dr Wendy Wong replaced my right hip and did a fantastic job. Pain level after surgery was negligible. I was driving after 3 weeks and playing 9 holes of golf after 8 weeks. Would highly recommend her. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being great she rates a 12

I had my knee replaced in June. I am now walking pain free and without a cane. I am in total agreement with other 5 star Yelp reviews re Dr. Wong. In addition I am thankful for Dr. Wong's pre-op & post-op teams. They were there to answer questions. They went over current prescriptions and provided me with a to-do list to prepare for the operation. Post-op meds were ordered and thoroughly reviewed before the operation. Post-op team was there to answer questions and contacted me almost daily. For pain I was able to get by with just Tylenol. An important reason I recovered so quickly is the therapists at Muir Orthopedics Specialists are exceptional.

I had a full knee replacement 2 years ago and partial knee replacement surgery recently by Dr Wendy Wong. Dr Wong is a wonderful surgeon and an expert. Both surgeries went great. I am so happy with my new knees! The partial knee replacement recovery was super speedy compared to my full knee replacement. The surgery center at Muir Orthopedics is well run and staffed with compassionate experts. 5 stars!

After my experience with hip surgery I feel extremely comfortable in recommending Dr. Wong.  I found her to be very personable, competent, and easy to talk with.  She listened well and clearly explained my options and the path she proposed to take. Originally it was thought that my problem was all caused by a pinched nerve.  After a cortisone shot relieved my lower back pain but not the leg pain my spinal surgeon referred me to Dr. Wong.   After some diagnostic procedures she recommended a hip replacement. By that time the pains had grown worse the full length of my leg, but she assured me that the hip replacement would take care of it all.  She was right.   Dr Wong and her surgery team exhibited a very positive and energetic attitude at the surgery.  I felt I was in good hands and the results have confirmed it.  The same day I was able to walk around the hospital with the aid of a walker and since then things have quickly improved without any problems. Five weeks later I can comfortably walk around town on errands for an hour or more.  Before the operation I was lucky if I could get a quarter mile.

My grandma recently went to Dr. Wong to do knee surgery on two separate occasions. I just want to say that the whole process was very easy and comfortable, and Dr. Wong was very kind...My grandma was able to walk without assistance after 10 days. Thank you Dr. Wong!

I'd heard so many great things about Dr. Wong from my gym class participants. When it came time for my husband to have hip replacement surgery I was so happy he was assigned Dr. Wong. She did a FANTASTIC job. Surgery was on May 1, 2020. He was immediately relieved of the hip pain, and only had to deal with normal recovery discomfort. Dr. Wong spoke with me before, and immediately after surgery. She made me feel part of the team, and I so appreciated that. Her team checked in with me post-surgery, and after he came home. They kept him safe during this crazy COVID-19 epidemic. I hope he never has to have another operation. But, if he does, Dr. Wong will be on speed-dial!

Thanks to Dr. Wong’s gift as an orthopedic surgeon my knee replacement went very well and I recovered quickly. She is a happy person who is interested in getting to know her patients and exploring all options before doing surgery. Dr. Wong had me well prepared for my surgery with exercises to do before and sent me all the necessary information so I would know what to expect. If I ever need the second knee replaced, I sure know where to go!!

My 85-year-old mother was in a lot of pain and needed knee replacement surgery. Her physician sends a referral to Muir Ortho and saw dr. Wendy Wong. During my first visit I gained a lot of confidence in her. She impressed me the way she talked to us. She is very professional, explained entire procedure and answer all the questions. I felt safe with her and was sure that I wanted her to do the surgery. The operation was very successful. After we left the hospital, we didn't have to worry about anything: dr. Wong and her assistant Kevin took care everything. They scheduled follow-up appointments, physical therapy and explained how to take medication. Two weeks after the surgery my mother step outside (without my knowledge) and did not noticed the step. She fell in front of the house. I was able to make appointment and dr. Wong saw us few minutes later. Thanks God we did not need another surgery. When coronavirus spread in Bay Area and we were not able to go to physical therapy Dr. Wong and her staff send us a pdf file with set of exercises at home. So, we exercise every day at home. Month and a half latter my mom can bend her knee, taking strolls in the garden and enjoy her life again and she hardly take any pain medication. I feel like for Dr. Wong working in hospital is not just a profession but is a vocation

Dr. Wong performed a hip replacement in Nov 2019.  She was wonderful throughout the process, and her team was equally professional and supportive.  I am extremely pleased with the outcome.  I have been able to return to all of my activities.  I would highly recommend her.

I had a total hip replacement done by Dr. Wong on November 1st 2019. I had a very pleasant experience with her at all of my appointments prior to surgery, she was polite and answered all of my questions. Dr. Wong does the Anterior approach which is through the front of your leg which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! I had my other hip done in December of 2017 and a different surgeon did the posterior approach which is through the side of your leg and I must say the ANTERIOR approach is 100% better in terms of recovery, pain, mobility, etc. I was able to walk (with my walker) with minimal help in and out of bed right after surgery. I wish she did my first surgery!! But since then I haven't had any issues, my scar is super small which I appreciate because the posterior approach left me with a 9 inch scar down my hip :/ the scar from the anterior approach is about 4-5 inches and less noticeable. If I ever had to get another hip replacement I would DEFINITELY go back to Dr. Wong!! 10/10 :)

I found Dr. Wendy Wong to be a most confident and excellent surgeon she spent extra time studying my particular situation and x-rays in order to plan a highly successful treatment she did a revision on my left knee that had been operated on three times previously and all failed she cured the problem putting a new Knee in and it’s working perfectly. Mine was a particularly difficult case based upon the history of my name she’s the only one who would tackle it and said she could do it she delivered the New knee and it is great shape. I have no pain! After only 3 weeks post surgery. I’m forever grateful

Great job very nice and professional perfect

I was diagnosed with severe arthritis in my left knee many years ago. I was seen by Dr. Wendy Wong who gave me a couple of options. Being older and not wanting to risk losing my job and insurance, I asked the doctor to fast track me for the recommended knee replacement. Dr Wong and her office was able to set up the operation that fit into my schedule. I had already had 2 major back operations and the knee replacement was the last procedure to help me improve mobility and lessen pain. The operation went without a glitch. I did need to have another procedure to loosen up scar tissue - which I have a history of. It has been a year since the operation and I am walking better than I have in many years. I am even able to jog a little to catch a bus or cross a light. I have not been able to do this for years. Dr. Wong is very personable, positive and high energy. I can highly recommend her as her surgery has helped me greatly.

Wendy gave me my life back!  For almost a year I suffered from debilitating hip/leg pain caused by arthritis.  It affected everything; walking, working, sleeping and my zest for life.  I am just 52 years old, but felt 80.  I tried chiropractor, physical therapy, cortisone shot & a gel, but nothing worked.  Wendy did a full hip replacement in September and I am walking normally and feel fantastic!  I highly recommend Wendy and her team and loved using the Outpatient facility.  Sleeping at home is so much better than staying in a hospital where it's loud and 'germy' and they're constantly poking you awake.  I can hike and wear heals again - Thank you Wendy!

I think Dr Wong is the best Orthopaedic surgeon I've ever had and I've had many. I've had two back surgeries, both knees and both hips replaced. Dr Wong did my last hip surgery. Some people find her abrupt and rude. I found her caring and compassionate while being very efficient and very clear about her schedule and availability. She has a family to take care of and melds her profession and personal lives to her advantage, which she should. I recently went for a follow up visit and found her unhurried and professional and very pleasant. She gets 5 stars from this patient!

In March 2018 I used my left leg to brace myself when keeping a moving shopping cart from hitting a car that backed out of a parking spot without looking as I was walking to my car.  I felt a "pop" in my left hip and thought that I might have suffered a slight dislocation.  A trip to the chiropractor helped a bit, but the muscle pain in the thigh and groin began to increase, so I was eventually sent for an x-ray, which showed some moderate arthritis had developed.  A few months later, after nearly intolerable pain, an MRI revealed that it had developed to full bone-on-bone arthritis and it was suggested that I consult with an orthopaedic surgeon. Of course, that meant going to the insurance company website and seeing which were local and in my plan, and in my search I saw a profile for Dr. Wendy W. Wong.  Being a "triple initial" person myself (SSS), I did a bit more research and found her to be very highly recommended, not only by patients but by other health professionals.  I set an appointment for October 30 and the fun began. We started with a very candid condition conversation (ccc) and I learned of the options, one of which was not covered by insurance (stem cell injection) and two which were: surgery or cortisone injections.  Not wanting to go through surgery, I opted for the cortisone injection, and it provided some relief for a few months.  It lasted until about February 2019, and I had another in early-April to carry me through a family wedding in May, and then surgery became my only option for pain relief when it wore of.   In July at the surgical consultation, I was instructed to lose 30 pounds prior to surgery so that infection risk was lessened, and surgery was set for October 8th.  While I got close to losing only 20 pounds, it still was a big help.  The procedure recommended was a total hip replacement by was of Direct Anterior Approach, as the surgical incision was minimal, the procedure was less stressful on the body, and the recovery time was much less. I was amazed!  That same day I was up and walking with a walker, home the next day still using the walker, and on the third day after surgery I was walking with just a cane for half the day and then completely on my own.  Within a week I was back to full strides and still very little pain, thanks to good medication management and with limited use of opiates to avoid addiction risk. I highly recommend Dr. Wendy Wong, her team, and the Direct Anterior Approach to anyone who is in need of total hip replacement surgery.

Dr. Wendy Wong replaced my two knees. The surgery was very successful on both knees. I went home the next day from the hospital and did everything I was suppose to do for my healing process. I healed very fast and did not need to take much pain medication. She has a very sweet personality and I felt vey comfortable with her. Three weeks after my second knee replacement, I fell and broke my knee cap ( it was a bad fall.) Dr. Wong saw me right away and made arrangements to operate within the week. I did not damage the knee replacement. She fixed my knee cap and I am now out of the brace which I had to wear for a little more than two months and I can bend my knee almost 100 degrees. I think she is amazing. She really knows what she is doing.

Dr. Wong did a right knee replacement for me. I walked the halls that afternoon about 6 hours after my surgery. She is professional, effective, knowledgeable, respectful and punctual. The entire experience was amazing, now I can walk again without limping. I was out of the hospital the next day after surgery. Dr. Wong and her staff did a wonderful job for me. The facilities are clean, the staff is competent and caring. If you need a new knee, call Dr. Wendy Wong. I am blessed she is my knee surgeon.

After a serious fall almost 3 years ago, I came to the reality that I would need hip surgery. Last September after joining one of the millions of Medicare baby boomers, my primary physician referred me to Muir Orthopedic Specialists in Walnut Creek, CA. I met with my initial surgeon and I had a date of February 2019. Due to unforeseen circumstances that befell my surgeon, I needed to select another surgeon within the Muir Orthopedic family. After some consideration, I chose Dr. Wendy Wong, M.D. I have to admit at the time I was very overweight, and Dr. Wong's main concerns were potential infections and complications. After many months, my weight met with Dr. Wong's approval for the procedure, and I had a surgery date of July 26, 2019. Today is August 5th and I just had my post-op check up. From beginning to end my experience with Dr. Wong exceeded my expectations. She deserves every one of these five stars!!! I could not have been more pleased. No complications, no infections, I feel like I've been given a second chance to enjoy my grandchildren, and all the benefits of retirement. ***** Thank you Dr. Wong for taking such a personal as well as a medical interest in my well-being.

Dr Wendy Wong was the answer to my prayers. I went to see Dr Wong in Feb and she told me I had to wait till May to have my surgery. I was really upset. It was the quickest 3 months that ever passed. Everything else from that day forward was a breeze. I've never had a orthopedic surgical experience go that smoothly. Not a hitch in anything that went on from there. All of my appointments from pre surgery to post surgery were made for me. When I had my appointment with Dr Wong before my surgery she talked to me in a language I understood. Not all Dr terms. She told me everything she was going to do from staging out the surgery on the computer right away so she will have time to study it. I needed to recuperate in a rehab center after my surgery because I lived alone. She found me the best place for me to recuperate. They transferred me by ambulance to the facility. I healed faster than I expected so I only stayed their for 3 instead of 5 days. When I had my follow up appt with Dr Wong after surgery she told me everything was going great and I didn't have to see her for a month. She handled the in home physical therapy for me too. Now I know why when I told everybody who my dr was when at the hospital they all said "oh you've got the best". I felt like I had the best by far.

Just had my 4 month checkup with Dr Wong after my hip replacement surgery last March and everything couldn't have better. The whole experience with John Muir was terrific with all the care I received. I'm pain free and doing all the activities I use to do. Thanks very much.

Dr. Wendy Wong is a great Orthopedic Surgeon, I had a bursitis removed from my hip and I could not ask for a better Surgeon. She is kind, caring and will give you all the answers prior to your surgery. I am having issues with my knees now unfortunately for me but I know I am in good hand with Dr. Wong. I would strongly recommend Dr. Wong for hip and knees, she is awesome. Sincerely, Olga Petray

I have received excellent care from Dr. Wong for a fractured tibia and would not hesitate to recommend her. She listened to my concerns and took them into account when recommending the best treatment for me. She clearly explained the pros and cons of both surgical and non-surgical treatment. In addition to being a knowledgeable and capable physician and surgeon, she is a delightful person!

After full knee replacement, I was walking almost completely normal, w/o walker or cane, in just under 2 wks. My care at John Muir hospital, Walnut Creek was 1st rate; I had no issues, only praise!

Hip replacement from Dr. Wong and couldn't be more satisfied. Dr. Wong told me to expect, maybe, 3 month recovery, or longer, wisely tampering my best-case scenario with realistic expectations. However, I was limping unaided to the bathroom 2 hours after surgery (I was good-naturedly scolded for that), walking from BART to work 3 weeks later, and walking totally pain-free, with complete mobility, in about 70 days. I'd say that's a pretty successful hip replacement. Admittedly, I pushed the recovery process, but none of it would've been possible without an excellent surgical procedure. Honestly, I think my golf clubs have gained an additional 10 yards. And it's been 4 months with a new hip. And to address some of these negative reviews: For the most part, it sounds like "your feelings were hurt". Dr. Wong was straight with me, addressed all my questions and responded to my concerns. She was kind, humorous, good natured, and most importantly a doctor who addressed my physical condition. I advise you organize your thoughts and questions about your physical condition before your visit and make sure you get specific answers. The doctor is about your 'physical' condition. If you need to 'feel' good go to a therapist.

Dr. Wong is an excellent physician and communicates directly. I highly recommend Dr. Wong. I had the cortisone and gel shots over a period of time in both knees. Liquid nitrogen was applied to numb the skin. I couldn't feel the needle when the injections were applied. It helped a lot. The results are almost immediate. After two years, life long sports and arthritis had taken a final toll. Dr. Wong replaced my right knee with a titanium one. I was walking four hours after surgery. Medicare requires an over night stay in the hospital. I went home the next day. It has been three months since the surgery. I have full use of my knee and the strength keeps building. Bless Dr. Wong for improving my quality of life. Barry C.

I'm so happy with her a great doctor and surgeon!! She is the best! There's no words to describe how grateful we are with her!!

Dr. Wendy Wong is as good as it gets. She is an excellent surgeon and prepared me well for my Right Hip surgery. From the pre-op education and medications that were used the whole process went smoothly. When I woke up in post-op, I felt good! No pain, no nausea, and no wooziness. I was really pleasantly surprised I was comfortable all night and slept well. Physical therapy, the next day, was pretty easy and I was able to go home that same day. I really can't say enough about Dr. Wong. Her confidence, warmth and humor was exactly what I needed.

I first met Dr. Wong after 14 months of constant pain in hip, legs and back and inability to sleep pain-free on either my sides or back. My first appointment was in early December.  She reviewed the X-rays and said I was eligible for a hip replacement.  Because she was going on maternity leave in January she promptly offered to schedule surgery between Christmas and New Years.  Surgery went well, with the doctor responsive to adjusting drugs down based on my strong reaction to them. Post surgery recovery went well, with help from scheduled Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy and 2 weeks of at home family assistance.   In 2 weeks I was up and about with no assistance and in 2 months I was free from pain and could sleep on my back and both sides. I appreciate Dr. Wong's willingness to schedule and perform the surgery before going on maternity leave.  From being mostly bedridden I went to regaining my ability to resume my normal active life.  I would definitely return to or recommend John Muir Orthopedics and Dr. Wong, Orthopedic Surgeon.

My husband and I met with Dr Wong and found her to be a most empathetic, thoughtful, knowledgeable physician.  More so than most. She was conservative in her recommendations which were nuanced and specific. No rush to surgery or over medication. It is unfortunate that some have felt otherwise but we would not hesitate to recommend her to family or friends or anyone reading this.

Dr. Wong has been treating me for bilateral femur fractures. Yes, surgery to repair two shattered legs resulting from a freak fall. I am now four months post op and I'm happy to say I am starting to walk again! Dr. Wong is very personable and professional and thoroughly explained and discussed the treatment and my progress with both me and my spouse. I am happy I found Dr. Wong and highly recommend her.

I have been seeing Dr. Wong for knee pain for several months and in the very beginning she told me that I needed surgery ,(Knee Replacement) but that she could see that I was reluctant and it was my choice, she could give me shots every 4 months to help relieve the pain but that the shots would not be good over a long period and that I would eventually need the surgery regardless, it was my choice. I have waited longer than I should have and will now be setting the appointment for the surgery but it is my choice. Dr. Wong has always had a smile on her face and is always very sweet when she comes in the room and as she leaves, making me feel like I'm not being pushed into something that I may not need. I have read other reviews on this page and got the feeling that most of these people wanted to diagnose their problem and were upset that Dr. Wong did not agree and chose not to listen. She is not a Vet and people aren't animals, if they were they would be shot when they broke something, not fixed. Dr. Wong is there to advise you with the knowledge that she has acquired over many years of school & training so let her do her job and you stick to what you do best and that's not to undermine someone with her degrees. I will re- review after the first knee replacement and let you know then if I've changed my mind or am awaiting the 2nd knee???

I recently had a full hip replacement by Dr. Louay Toma. He had successfully operated on several of my friends and came highly recommended. My surgery was on July 12. I am now walking without a cane and slowly building strength. Dr. Toma was sensational throughout. He was very punctual for my pre-op appointments and post op. He is a very kind person, is upbeat, and certainly knows what he's doing. I am very happy with the results so far and owe a huge slice of gratitude to him for solving my problem. He is my hero!

I had my left hip completely shut. Barely could move with crutches my pain was something I wouldn't wish on anybody. When I called Muir Orthopedic the lady asked me if I don't mind having female surgeon, like if there was something wrong with it. Naturally I didn't mind all I cared about was surgery ASAP. I think I made the best choice DR. Wong was not only courteous and explained my options thoroughly but made me feel like a family. I could walk again in no time. Dr. Wong still cares for me and never hesitates to go extra mile to make sure I am alright.  Excellent job , excellent care, excellent surgeon! Thank you doc you gave me my life back.

Dr. Wendy Wong has been an extraordinary blessing for my orthopedic surgerical needs.  From the initial consultation to completion of the recovery process Dr. Wong demonstrated so many times her great surgical skills combined with her extensive knowledge of medicine.   Dr. Wong, working closely with her medical assistant Angela J., was able to replace my right hip with a minimum of stress and pain.  I was alleviated excruciating pain that was becoming crippling.  I am now highly ambulatory because of Dr. Wong's surgical abilities.  I would recommend Dr. Wong to anyone in need of orthopedic surgery, especially my loved ones.

I had an excellent experience as a patient of Dr. Wong's. She completed a full knee replacement for me. She is a very skilled surgeon. Both before and after the surgery, she did an excellent job of explaining procedures and answering my questions. When I emailed her with questions, I usually had a response within one day.  I made a rapid recovery and was able to return to work after only 6 weeks.  My flexibility has exceeded expectations, and I am virtually pain free. I expect to have my other knee replaced at some point, and I will definitely return to Dr. Wong.
