I believe that it is important to carefully listen to each patient's concerns and goals in order to personalize our approach to each challenge. I try to incorporate the most recent expert guidelines and scientific studies to each evaluation. I think that it is important for each patient to find me easily accessible by office visit, telephone, and online messaging. ### Outside of medicine Outside of Medicine, Dr. Tong enjoys symphony concerts, San Francisco Giants and 49er games, Stanford basketball and football, and his twin boys. ## Education and training **Medical school:** Northwestern University Medical School **Internship:** University of California, Los Angeles **Residency:** University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center -
