Wong D Lawrence MD

Had some health issues, Doctor stayed that only medication can help, no real solution exist for my problem. Well, found that natural solution online, no medication needed. Problem solved, and not by anyone in the clinic, just google.
I feel it’s not a bad doctor, just the fact that everyone have to make money, selling drugs is a good one.

Dr. Wong is the best. I’ve been with him for over 10 years now and he provides the highest quality of service. He listens, he remembers, and he doesn’t talk to you like you’re a name on a file.

Very stuffy and traditional. Not at ALL what I want in a doctor. Is not willing to work with patients and even says he has a «traditional view». Did not even take my temperature when I was in with a severe cough and other cold symptoms. Had to go to Urgent Care that night and get checked for pneumonia. Much prefer Dr. Hall at Cassidy medical.

I have dealt with stomach problems for years (more than a decade) and the fact that I’ve spent more time having stomach problems than not is a really sad. I’ve gone to many doctors and GI specialists for my tummy issues but every doctor just related my stomach problems to stress and poor diet.
Now that I’m 31 and STILL dealing with these issues, I decided, just for kicks, I’d let my new doctor, Dr. Wong, know when I was in there recently for a yearly physical exam. When I started discussing my symptoms, he immediately seemed to know what the issue was: a bacterial infection which can cause ulcers — h pylori for short. I’ll save you the winded explanation — those interested, simply Google h pylori and you’ll get the info.
After this assumption from Dr. Wong, I took a simple Urea test that day in the office which took a week to get results, but they were positive for this bacteria. 19 years of doctors, colonoscopies, barium swallows, etc. and nothing led to the answer that Dr. Wong discovered immediately. I am steps away from doing cartwheels right now because I’m so happy!
Highly recommend Dr. Wong. He’s great and I couldn’t speak more highly of him or his staff.

Dr. Wong is amazing. I VERY rarely have to wait past my appointment time. He takes his time with me and is extremely patient. Also, he has a great sense of humor. I’d recommend him to anyone. Great doctor and great person.

Scheduling staff was helpful, but very frustrating to deal with. Never ended up having the appt because scheduler misunderstood what I needed… I’ve had better experiences

Dr. Wong has been my primary care Dr for over five years now. He is professional, and takes time with you to understand what is going on. He also is willing to think outside the box on difficult problems, and is willing to try alternative treatments and therapies. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

The wait times are reasonable and he always listens and takes the necessary amount of time. He is also an exceptionally kind person. Never rushed, uses electronic records and has very good common sense advice. Smaller office with lots of personalized attention. Also, they do any blood work you need there in the office which is extra convenient. The office staff is also nice and very good natured. Billing is simplified and very easy to understood. Good primary care doc.

Really great doctor to go to if you need to establish a new Carlsbad, CA practitioner. He took my existing medicines and refilled no problem. Seemed to care that I have not (yet) gone to see my CA neurologist since I have been back in the area. Liked him, a lot.

I love going to this office. Dr. Wong has a great attitude. He listens, and doesn’t rush appointments. The office staff is friendly and helpful.

I have to give Dr. Wong a full 5 stars. We were just visiting in La Jolla in order to visit LegoLand with our friends and their kids, but our son had been getting very ill. His pediatrician is back in Los Angeles, so it wasn’t an option for us. Rather than running to a random urgent care, we were given Dr. Wong’s name from someone at the hotel in La Jolla who just raved about him. We thought we’d give him a call, and were very pleased when the office said to bring our son in to be evaluated. We didn’t have to wait when we arrived, and after quickly evaluating our son, Dr. Wong immediately began the necessary nebulizer breathing treatments, and had antibiotics administered. It turned out that our son was very ill, but the treatments given helped him to recover to a level that he was able to enjoy our trip.
The important thing with medical care is to find a doctor that you can really believe in and trust, and that takes your best interests to heart. Dr. Lawrence Wong is one of those great doctors you want to have.

Okay, so I really hate dropping a review from 4 stars down to 2, but enough is enough. Maybe this will get someone’s attention… Dr. Wong is a great doctor, can’t argue with you there, however I have had some MAJOR issues in the past 6 months with getting prescriptions refills both while in town and out of town. These are minor issues such as the office staff not checking their fax machine, not returning phone calls, not making phones, and other small issues like this. Business etiquette here needs to improve. I should not have to make several phone calls just to get a refill.
