She an amazing and awesome doctor. She is very approachable, knowledgeable and listens to my concerns about my child. Despite of my child's severe disability Dr. Thida Ong made us feel that my child matters. We need more doctors like Dr. Thida Ong.
-
Dr. Ong started working with my daughter when she was just weeks old. During our most stressful days in the hospital she provided us encouragement and support while providing superior care for our child. She continues to see her and we wouldn't have anyone else take her place.
-
Great doc. Was and is very generous, understanding and helpful in dealing with our unique and complex family circumstances regarding our daughter's care.
