Wilson Tong, MD

Dr. Wilson Tong would not be my first choice in recommending a doctor to a friend with Cancer. He was my Oncologist for 7 months. He didn’t have the skill, knowledge or education in order to treat the rare type of cancer I suffer from. Though he did say he had some experience, he wanted to defer every aspect of my treatment to my other Oncologist at another office.
Though he gives out a professional profile on Epic Care’s website that Oncology is personal to him due to family members dealing with the disease. You would never know that fact by his bedside manner. I would never treat a family member with cancer the way he treats his patients. He has a nervous, boyishly shy demeanor, (doesn’t look you in the eye while talking) and will promise you things in his office fulfilling your requests. However, becomes aggressive and underhandedly arrogant at other times when you’re not in person. He’s fairly new to the Epic Care Antioch staff, and its my opinion that he is the worse asset for that team.
He’s insensitive, unsympathetic and nothing you’d expect from a caring Oncologist.
He doesn’t TREAT his patients, he passively observes and allows other clinicians to do all the work.
He will not support your input and allow you to be a partner in your health care decisions.
It is very difficult to begin with one Oncologist but having to switch because things didn’t work out. He never contacted me to hear what my concerns were or how he could improve my experience with him. Now, since I’m still a patient at Epic Care he stares me up and down as if this is a street fight. I hold my head up knowing I made the right decision to let him go. And that I have gained clinicians that are real Oncologists that truly care about my well being, and show it.
Cancer is hard enough to go through, do not add this inadequate doctor to your «dream team» of healers.
Heed my warning and avoid Dr. Tong while battling cancer. He won’t last very long at Epic Care if more patients honestly see him for who he really is and boldly speak up.
Shame on him for taking advantage of people while they are suffering and in their most vulnerable stage.
