I am a huge fan of USC's doctors and the surgery center. I have had several surgeries here and the system has gotten better and better over the years.

I feel very taken care of with Dr Hong

Dr Brian Hong was exemplary in both curative care and flexibility in adding foot care for my wife's painful toe.

I feel like I have to ask a lot of questions to gain ideas of things I can do to improve diminishing the pain in my foot. The pain is not solved by a surgery, which I think is more of Dr. Hong's specialty. However, he did make one suggestion that I'm working through - adjusting the height of my orthotic when my foot hurts. I made arrangements for new orthotics as this seemed like a very possible solution. He was responsive in providing the subscription, which I appreciate. We will see if it works.

Dr Hong was thorough and caring. I would definitely recommend him.
