3 Patient Reviews for
Dr. Tong

"I had a great experience with my AVR in May 2018 with Dr. Tong, his staff, and the nursing staff at Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland. I think Dr. Tong could have completed my surgery blind folded and with one arm tied behind his back. Fortunately, he didn't, but I felt comfortable with him as my surgeon the entire time."

-- Fred Seling, Aortic Valve, Valve Replacement, 05/04/2018

"I had an amazing experience at the Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Tong met with us and went over everything about the surgery and what to expect. He also answered all of our questions and spent time with us. We never felt rushed and he had a very calming manner. We felt very confident after meeting with Dr. Tong about my surgery.

After surgery, he assured us that everything went very well and that I would recover nicely. I would give Dr. Tong a + 10 rating , 10 being the best."
