Wong Stephen C, MD

Billing is also a scam!!! Never again. Charged me over 39 days fees for NOT getting a first bill in the mail at all!!!

I have been coming to Dr. Wong for over a year now. I have nothing but wonderful things to say. He has gone beyond expectation. His staff has always been helpful and responsive. He return calls after hours. Provide sound advice and direction. Extremely knowledgable. I have been in remission for over a year and I have gone to numerous specialists at USC and UCLA. He is truly a doctor who really cares about your well being.

Dr. Wong has been closely monitoring my million food allergies and other allergies I have. He is patient, attentive and kind. I am very Blessed to have him as my allergist. I have recommended family members and school students to visit his welcoming office.
The staff is friendly and very professional.

I first paid a visit to dr. Wong’s office Sept 2014. First visit they made her blow into a cardboard tube 5.00 was charged each time and I was not notify that there was an additional charge each time this was done. Until 4 months later U receive a bill for all these services that was done. I probably saw this doctors a total of 4 times. Each time you go there is a different useless test that was done with additional charge that was not disclosed to you. And the wait each time from start to Finish was two hrs long. Ultimately he did not cure my daughter of her cough supposedly it was allergies.

I have been seeing Dr Wong for almost 20 years. I was suffering from asthma and constant sinus infections that proved to be allergy-​related, and over the course of about 5 years of treatment (incl allergy shots) with Dr Wong, improved to the point of being relatively symptom-​free. I now see him primarily for check-​ups. Dr. Wong always takes plenty of time with me, asks lots of questions, is not afraid to try new treatments to get the best possible outcome, and really cares about his patients. He is calm, smart, kind, with a great sense of humor. Out of the multitude of doctors I’ve seen, Dr Wong is probably the best!
He seems to have very little turnover with his staff, as many of them have been there as long as I’ve been going. They are all very sweet and helpful. My one complaint is that the office can get very busy and the wait times long, but that has improved significantly (and I’ve learned the best times to go). And it’s often because Dr Wong insists on spending as much time as necessary with each patient — which is a good thing! Finally, the staff that handles health insurance claims for Dr Wong’s patients is outstanding. I’ve had some complicated insurance issues over the years and they have been incredibly helpful and efficient in working with insurance companies and processing claims on my behalf.

All the PEOPLE who work here are the best.
The problem is, they will never tell you that you may want to consider THAT THE ALLERGY SHOTS ARE NOT WORKING.
So they tell you to keep coming.
So you do it.
And then one day, you realize that they are not going to give you any more guidance.
The doctor simply says let’s keep trying.
So the years go by. And so do the Saturdays. So do the birthday parties you missed. So do the weddings. The baseball games. You can plan on losing 2 – 4 hours of your day getting allergy shots with drive time and the waiting before and after the shots.
Gradually, a little voice was telling me that I am wasting my valuable time on the weekends with the allergy shots. So, I decided to stop. They warned me stopping could bring more problems. Well, I waited a week, 2 weeks, months and then years later. And there was absolutely no change in sensitivity better or worse.
All I can explain is that allergy shots don’t work for everyone. It was painfully obvious that they didn’t work for me.
This office should have — at some point — maybe at year number 4 or 5 — should have discussed with the patient (me) to consider STOPPING the allergy shots since they were never able to increase the percentage strengths of the shots. But, it’s the doctor’s revenue stream and they would rather you continue bringing them your money and the insurance money. I never heard them suggest I should think about stopping the shots. The shot’s did nothing. My allergy reactions were just as strong before the treatments as during he treatments.
After 10 years of Saturdays wasted — (that’s right — TEN years — not a typo error) I decided to stop the allergy shots altogether.
Well, it’s been about 5 years since my last set of allergy shots and walked away from this office and I’d like to say I’m exactly the same. With the advent of Unilocal,I wanted to take the time today to plug this operation about service in the past… since there wasn’t any forum to do this before.
No change for the better or worse. There was absolutely no benefit to the shots. But the office sure made a ton of money and I gave up 520 Saturdays in following the doctors requests.
If you are not getting anywhere with the shots, please consider stopping and just avoid your triggers.

horrible wait time even with an appointment. i have been waiting for 1 ½ hours and still waiting. i got here 15 early before my appointment. what is the point for making an appointment? i want to leave now… I guess the avarage wait time here is 2 – 2 ½ hours… even with an appointment…

Dr. Wong is very knowledgable about his stuff. Both my kids and I are patients of his and I have been getting allergy shots here for 2 years. Most of the girls that work here are really sweet. When you need to see Dr. Wong, he spends a lot if time with you and answers all questions you have. He is very caring and straightforward. The only reason why I can’t give 5 stars is because sometimes it usually takes 1 – 2 hrs of waiting before he comes into your exam room. Book the first appointment in the morning or afternoon if you can.

I was referred to Dr. Wong by my primary dr. at the time and I can say he is one of the best I have encountered. He truly cares about his patients and wants to help them resolve or determine the root of their issue. Yes, the wait can often be long, but I think that speaks to the level of care. Would you rather go to a dr. that has no patients?
He takes the time to help you understand what the issue may be and genuinely wants to help. If only all dr’s all cared as much as he did, maybe we’d have a lot better standard of care in our health system.

When I used to live in the San Gabriel Valley, I would come to Dr. Stephen Wong for my allergy issues. FYI, the business is actually called the Adult & Child Allergy & Asthma Clinic. Dr. Stephen Wong thankfully speaks English well and was able to address my allergy needs. He is very thorough and gives you lots of samples to cut down costs for you.
My only issue for this place (–2 Stars) is that this place gets incredibly busy. Even with an appointment, expect at least a 20 min wait. If you come here, allow for 2 hours for wait time and the actual appointment. Also, Dr. Stephen Wong has another office in Hacienda Heights? so he only comes here a couple times a week.

This review is for the OFFICE RECEPTIONIST:
I called to day to ask a few questions regarding pricing on consultation and possible test pricing. She didn’t sound knowledgeable on anything I asked. Her customer service was poor and unexceptable. She sounded like she didn’t really want to answer my questions and was avoiding any type of work that she had to do, which was to answer my questions.
I don’t think I’ll be coming here. There are other doctors in the area that I can go to. Why subject myslef to bad customer service. I really hope Dr Wong reads this and address the problem.

Had adult-​onset allergies. Dr. Wong has always been honest, straight-​up with my options and knew I didn’t have insurance at the time when I didn’t. Now I do, and he’s the same doctor, caring, honest and knowledgeable… did I say that already. Nevertheless, he’s good, fast at diagnosing, and prescribing is a breeze…:)
