      Dr. Wong and her associate providers have provided me with incredible service. She has given me a personal freedom I have not had since I was a young child. Her work is precise and compassionate. I cannot say enough good things about her. Thank you Dr. Wong, I hope you now how much you've helped me!

      Dr. Wong was the second plastic surgeon I had seen at UK. The first doctor was not empathetic and rather flippant about my breast cancer treatment and made me very upset. Dr. Wong offered a solution to my breast reconstruction that the first doctor hadn't considered. There was much better communication and regards for my breast cancer journey.
