Melissa Wong, MD

I love Dr. Wong! She is absolutely amazing. I didn’t even want to have the baby because I knew that would mean I wouldn’t get to see her on a regular basis (ha! Just kidding, but, really, she’s great). My labor and delivery was fantastic and I owe it all to Dr. Wong. She’s super laid back and she eased all my anxieties as a first time mother. I really can’t say enough nice things about her.
Seriously, even when it came time to break the news to me that we needed to induce *that day*, she was extremely cool about the whole thing. I would do that labor and delivery over 1000x if I could, I think about it every day.
Yay Dr. Wong! I may have another baby just so she can deliver it.

I really don’t have the words to describe how amazing Dr. Wong is!
I went with her for my 2^nd child (My first was a c-​section with a different OB) I explained to Dr. Wong that I wanted to try to VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) She NEVER, not even once discouraged me from it. And fast forward to the moment when it was time for me to push, and I was in pain and said, «I couldn’t do it» She said, «You WILL have this baby vaginally» And I did!
She gave me the support I needed, answered all my questions, and she has a great personality overall. Yea, you have to wait around to see her when you have an appointment, but she’s so worth it :) Thank you Dr. Wong!

Dr Wong is great. I can only say positive things. She is very knowledgable, easy to talk to, and will answer all your questions. She is super down to earth and calm, which helps to make the obgyn experience much easier. I felt confident having her as my doctor throughout my pregnancy, helping the pregnancy to go smooth despite my anxieties and struggles. She makes an effort to be available for delivery and helped me to manage a difficult labor to deliver my baby. I also want to add that the other medical staff have really great things to say about Dr Wong. I definitely recommend her.

Trying to see Dr. Wong is like trying to see Beyonce — she only sees her own patients 2 days a week and at the hospital for the rest of the days.
If I was going to deliver vaginally w/​o complication, really, an Über driver with some clean scissors will do. But in case shit hits the fan, Dr. Wong came highly recommended for her surgical skills and knowledge base by a friend who has been in the OR with her. She is also super achiever on paper: fancy med school, AOA, chief resident, etc… HOWEVER, that’s really not important. A lot of fancy sounding surgeons are terrible with their handiwork. You can tell Dr. Wong definitely studies every ACOG bulletin that is issued and very up to date in general.
She also has won teaching awards and has a good reputation as a teacher — eh. most attendings are just not good at teaching, and don’t give a rat’s ass about teaching the students, so I really respect someone who puts in the time to teach med students and residents.
Please note, she is very swift in manner — chop, chop, chop. If it bugs you, then don’t go to her. I like efficiency, but if there is a complaint, she addresses it. My parking is only for 1 hour.
I do want to note that since she is in a group practice with 4 or 5 other ob, unless you are doing scheduled induction or scheduled C section — the chances of having Dr. Wong on call when you pop out the kid is not super high. However, I feel fairly comfortable with other doctors in her practice as well, some are definitely less chop chop in the bedside manner department.

I was hoping to schedule an appointment today with Dr. Wong, or one of the other providers in her office – but after 3 phone calls that kept me on hold for about 10 minutes each, yet never connected me with a human being OR allowed me to leave a message, no thank you. I even went through the main Cedars switchboard, and THEY couldn’t get through. A bad start, so I choose not to continue.

I’m kinda sad to see the 1 star given to Dr. Wong by another reviewer. I can understand the fast-​food type of questioning was a little weird at first; it was a barrage of questions regarding health and personal history… but I wouldn’t fault the good doctor for that as I believe those are standard questions they are required to ask.
Dr. Wong comes highly recommended by her peers and I hope that she stays at Cedars as so many other good OB/GYN’s they’ve got have moved to Kaiser. I understand she is a surgeon too so she delivers babies and is mostly at Cedars hospital doing her rounds. She also teaches at the University and is only at her actual office 2x a week. If she talks fast, I’d say it’s because her schedule is fast-​paced.
She answered my questions and was pleasant. I wish I had more time to chat with her but for the purpose of my visit, I got the answers I needed. Great doctor, overall.

There are not enough nice things I could say about Dr. Wong. I would reccommend her to anyone looking for a great OB/​GYN.
For as long as I can remember I have been going to Cedars OBGYN department, during one of my appointments my current doctor was unavailable and Dr. Wong filled in. I was so impressed by her skill set and knowledge that I immediately switched and made her my immediate doctor.
DR. Wong delivered my baby girl and performed surgery on me. During both times I could not have felt more comfortable. Don’t get me wrong I did my research on Dr. Wong. Each time I had an appointment with an external doctor I always asked if they knew Dr. Wong and what they thought of her. And each time every doctor and nurse came back with glowing reviews. She is extremely passionate about her field and has such a dedication to her practice.
The thing I find most respectful about Dr. Wong is that she truly treats everyone she works with or teaches with the utmost respect.

When you visit a Doctor do you like to feel like you’re in a fast food drive thru? Do you like it if your Doctor doesn’t show a hint of humanity? Do you like it when their office is unorganized? If so then by all means go see Dr. Wong.
We will NEVER go back there again. Without getting into details my spouse had a few issues in her pregnancy and the first question Dr. Wong asked was if there was any domestic abuse in our home. I mean, are you kidding me? How is that treating anyone with respect? After being as cold as ice and not giving us any details, we were told to schedule a follow up for the next week on the way out. When we tried her assistant said that the chart wasn’t given to her and we should call tomorrow. We called the following day and finally received a call back two days later to be told that she wasn’t available for 2 weeks!
I do not recommend this doctor to anyone especially in regards to a pregnancy.

By far, one of the best physicians I have had in my entire life. Dr. Wong is well-​read, super intelligent, and treats her patients with courtesy and respect. I work in the medical field as well and my demanding job makes it difficult to address even minor health issues. Dr. Wong always returns my voice mails promptly and she makes herself readily available for being a very busy clinician. Dr. Wong’s beside manners are impeccable. It is so refreshing to have a knowledgeable doctor that also knows how to treat patients with care and concern. Dr. Wong is honestly the best and I feel grateful to have her as my MD.

If you are looking for a physician that knows the evidence, is up to date and treats every person with utmost respect and dignity, Dr. Wong is your go to. She’s outstanding and I will continue to recommend her to my friends and family.

Dr. Wong is absolutely amazing. Wonderful experience with her and her whole staff :)
