    How was your appointment with Dr. Tiong?

    Dec 07, 2022
    I’ve been having a multitude of health issues and they all pointed to autoimmune issues. I was referred to Dr. Tiong and have been a patient of his for 2 years. He’s an excellent doctor who seeks to understand the big picture about you and your health. He is not quick to prescribe medication until he is certain of a diagnosis. Very few doctors take the time to understand a patient in their entirety like Dr. Tiong.
