Mary-Lee Wong, MD

In my early twenties I developed food allergies that sent me into anaphylactic shock; previously I had no food allergies. I have been going to Dr Mary-​Lee Wong on and off for the past few years; in hopes that maybe my allergies would change. I use to think that Dr Wong was a little high energy and frantic — and the apt scheduling sometimes was challenging — but when it comes to a life threatening allergy, Dr Wong knew what she was doing, and always pointed me in the right direction. So I continued on.
UPDATE: This past year one of my food allergy tests showed that I was no longer allergic to tomatoes (still allergic to shellfish). I had seen another doctor in the past, where the test came back neg and I still had an anaphylactic reaction — so I was skeptical but desperately hopeful. Dr Wong worked extensively with me, with blood work, skin tests and recently an oral food challenge. She sat with me for over four hours and observed me as I ate pasta sauce and a tomato. My fear of going into anaphylactic shock was so intense, that for a while I wouldn’t eat anything that had red sauce or red flakes. The fact that she had me comfortable, sitting with me, observing me … I felt incredibly listened to and taken care of. I’m also no longer allergic to tomatoes. A positive life changing experience.
Regarding the staff — In the years past, the receptions seemed disinterested, or there were conflicts in scheduling follow-​up appointments. This past years recent experience, the staff has improved. There is one woman that works there now and she’s fantastic. It’s a hit or miss, but it seems they schedule you in, if there was a mistake w/​scheduling on either side. I strongly recommend Dr Mary-​Lee Wong. She may come across as high energy, but she is incredibly detailed and she really listens; and when it comes to a life threatening allergy, she handles it with the most attention and medical care.

I had skin allergy testing done twice, but it took 90 minutes for each appointment, because Dr Wong is running back and forth among several patients at the same time. Before I left, she gave me a copy of my results and some advice.
