Judith Wong, MD

“I fell in love with neurosurgery early in my training. I was fascinated by the brain and the challenge of debating difficult cases. While I still enjoy the intellectual side, I am now driven by a deeper need to advocate for my patients. I am in a unique position to help people through their most vulnerable moments, and I do so with surgical precision, thoughtful decisions and empathy at the bedside.”
