14 Patient Reviews for
Dr. Tong
"Dr. Tong was recommended by my cardiologist at Cleveland Clinic and set up a surgery date of July 11th. I did not meet Dr. Tong until the day prior to surgery but was able to do research on HeartValveSurgery.com and the Cleveland Clinic site.
He is very accomplished and I felt comfortable with the decision my cardiologist made. I found him to be extremely calm and interested in what I was thinking and feeling. In the operating room, he was calm and reassuring and that made a world of difference at a time when you are feeling extremely uneasy.
The surgery went flawlessly and was discharged on day 4 after surgery. I can't say enough about my experience at Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Tong, and the entire team of people that cared for me. They all were professional and definitely lived up to reputation."

"I went to Cleveland Clinic for a second opinion and was seen by Dr. Tong. My anxiety was high as this was going to be my 2nd valve surgery. From the very first moment I met Dr. Tong, he put me at ease. He was very informative but explained my complex procedure so my family and I could understand.
I required a mitral valve replacement and a repair of the tricuspid valve. The surgery was a success and so far my recovery had minimal complications.
I highly recommend Dr Tong for anyone who need complex valve surgery. In addition to meeting my family and I before the surgery, he very calmly spoke to me in the operating room and saw him a few days after the surgery.
It was an added bonus that you have a skilled surgeon who also has excellent bedside manners."
