For an unknown condition, Dr. Wong believes that most of the time the answer can be found with the patient; the doctor must find the right questions to ask and help the patient realize what they may have forgotten. Dr. Wong seeks to teach his patients about their disease process and get them actively involved in the decisions relating to their care. He appreciates that many infectious diseases can be cured instead of just being managed.
