Dr Wong treated me for Clivial tumor that was confirmed to be a chordoma. He walked me through the hardest moments of my life as I navigated through the tough fight ahead of me. Dr. Wong an ENT Dr. Raviv gave a fighting chance and so that I can have a second chance at having quality in my life. Thank you Dr. Wong and Dr. Raviv
