Dr chong goes above and beyond to help me with my at times complicated medical needs he is prompt professional and genuinely cares about his patients his medical assistants as well. He is responsive to my chart and honestly I know he goes beyond business hours to be a great physician . The only critique I have is due to medical system it's hard for physicians to have time they need to help with complicated questions I would imagine their time is very condensed . But 100% he is an amazing provider

He is totally committed to improving the health and future wellbeing of his patients, He researched, evaluated and recommended that I purchase online a certain state-of-the-art computerized device to be used at home, to monitor and record critical health data.

Providence Patient
Dr. Chong has been a wonderful health care provider. I have lived with a fear of doctors and the medical field for nearly all my life and Dr. Chong's care, respectfulness, and professionalism helps me feel much more comfortable with going to the doctors office. He listened to my concerns and makes me feel like I finally have a doctor that truly cares about my health. As a Mexican American/ Indigenous gay women, I feel safe and comfortable receiving care from Dr.Chong.

Providence Patient
Dr. Chong is the best doctor ever! When I have in office appointments, the front desk staff is always pleasant and professional.
Providence Patient
Dr Chong is most professional, empathetic and courteous health provider I have ever had. He answers all my questions and goes over ALL my medications even those prescribed by specialists. He takes an interest in my overall health and well being not just the specific reason I am there to see him. I enjoy my visits with him. I've had doctors before that made me feel I was a machine and I was there for them to fix my car orator and if I asked questions they made me feel I was wasting their time. Dr Chong is the exact opposite and I have recommended him highly to friends and family.

Providence Patient
One of the best visits I've had with a provider. Very thorough. Felt that my health care really mattered.
Providence Patient
Dr Chong was very thorough with his time with me on my medical history and current breast cancer diagnosis, as well as addressing medical issues as a whole. I like him a lot, however, it was made clear, due to overwhelming medical need (excessive patient limits and not enough medical professionals) that making him a active participant with my Breast Care Team isn't practical. Disappointing at best. I'll continue with his care more so in 2024 after my situation has improved. He is kind, explains things well and is willing to work with me and not against me on medical decisions. I look forward to my improved health with his guidance in 2024.
Providence Patient

NEVER A BAD EXPERIENCE DR CHONG IS AMAZING. HE IS TRULY THE BEST DOCTOR I HAVE EVER HAD ON MY ENTIRE LIFE.
Providence Patient
Dr. Chong has been my doctor for the last 4-5 years. He has been great for the advice he passes on with me. He's very understanding where my heath is at. We communicate often thru My-Chart on many topics that come during my tests results or Covid for when I should be getting any boosters required. Sets up my blood work in advance for next year already. Let's me know what I need to work on. He seems to be becoming popular do to getting appointments much latter now than in the past. More patients, I guess. I am very happy with what Dr. James Chong for what he has done for me. Also, My Chart works great. I do most of my communication thru My Chart with messaging. All is good. Turn around on my chart messaging is with hours not days.
