Some issues Dr. Lewis Wong, MD can help you with:

Depression

Everyone knows what it feels like to get the blues once in a while. But depression is a serious illness that is more severe than a bad day and lasts much longer. Symptoms of depression stop a person from being able to function and enjoy daily activities for weeks or months at a time. It can happen to anyone, and it isn't something that people can control by force of will or "snap out of it."

Some common symptoms of depression include:

  • Feeling sad, guilty, empty or hopeless
  • Fatigue and a lack of energy and motivation
  • A loss of pleasure in activities that were previously enjoyed
  • Unusual sleep or eating habits
  • Mental fog -- trouble concentrating, remembering, or making decisions
  • Physical aches and pains
  • Suicidal thoughts or a preoccupation with death

We don't yet know what causes depression, but it's thought that it is a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and social influences. Because of this, the most effective treatments for depression combine medication with psychotherapy. Therapy, especially cognitive-behavioral therapy, can be extremely helpful in resolving the negative thoughts and feelings that come with depression. It gives patients new tools that they can use themselves to cope when their depression is making them feel down.

Some of the common medications used to treat depression include antidepressants such as SSRI's (Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft) or atypical antidepressants (Cymbalta, Wellbutrin). It's important to remember that these medications have different effects on everybody, and no one medication works right for everyone. Patients may have to try a couple before finding the one that works just right for them. If the first medication they try doesn't work, they should talk to their doctor about trying something else. In extreme cases where medication is not enough, electro-convulsive therapy and hospitalization may be the answer to keeping a severely depressed person safe.

Depression is a difficult illness to deal with, but it is more common than believed and there are many people who can help. With the right treatment, individuals with depression can get back to fully enjoying life again.

Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are mental and physical illnesses that impact behavior, emotions, and thoughts about eating, food, body appearance, and weight. These disorders are characterized by preoccupations with food and physical size, resulting in dramatic lifestyle changes and adverse health effects. In the past, eating disorders were often diagnosed using BMI (body mass index), or by assessing someone's weight. Eating disorders specialists now recognize that eating disorders may occur in people of all sizes. The most common eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder (BED).

Anorexia nervosa, frequently referred to as anorexia, is a disorder where people severely restrict the types and quantity of food they eat. Those with anorexia have an extreme fear of eating and gaining weight and may repeatedly weigh themselves or engage in harmful behaviors such as excessive exercise or starvation. Those with anorexia often find themselves preoccupied with food, but unable to consume a healthy amount of it. This results in symptoms such as abnormally low BMI, vitamin deficiency, fatigue, fainting, and amenorrhea (lack of menstruation in women). Anorexia may cause bluish discoloration of the hands, brittle and falling out hair, yellowish skin, and lanugo (fine, downy hair). Left untreated, anorexia can lead to organ failure, brain damage, and even death.

Bulimia nervosa, typically called bulimia, is a disorder where people binge (eat large quantities of food) and purge the food that they just consumed by vomiting, laxative abuse, fasting, or excessive exercise. This behavior is usually motivated by a feeling of powerlessness over eating and a fear of weight gain or desire for weight loss. Bulimia can occur in underweight, normal weight, and overweight people. Symptoms of bulimia include acid reflux, intestinal distress, dehydration from purging, amenorrhea, and dental erosion from vomiting. Some people with bulimia have swollen parotid glands (salivary glands near the cheeks) and red scars and marks on the backs of their knuckles. Electrolyte imbalance from bulimia can be particularly severe and may lead to heart attack or stroke.

Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder. People with BED feel that they are unable to control the amount of food they eat and may continue to binge after reaching a point of fullness. BED binges (consuming large amounts of food) are often accompanied by feelings of sadness, guilt, and shame. Symptoms of BED include obesity, acid reflux, weight gain, and dissatisfaction with one's body. People with BED tend to experience cycles of negative emotions and binges. Binges or BED episodes can be provoked by stress, boredom, restrictive dieting, depression, and other triggers.

Other common eating disorders include:

  • Pica, eating things that are not food, such as paper, ice, or soil
  • Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), disinterest in eating and avoidance of food
  • Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED), abnormal eating that does not fall under any disorder

Many people with eating disorders do not consciously develop them, and have difficulty seeking treatment. For this reason, it's important to detect and treat eating disorders as early as possible. Treatment for eating disorders can vary from therapy visits to inpatient treatment, depending on the disorder and its severity. Treatment aims to not only restore physical health and correct negative behaviors, but to also promote psychological well-being and self-confidence.

Sexual Health Issues

Sexual health is a broad and loosely defined term that encompasses several extremely different areas of medicine. Sexual health not only includes physical health related to the act of sex, but also emotional, mental, or identity issues that can interfere with healthy sexuality. Because this scope is so broad, a huge number of health care professionals can accurately say they work in the sexual health specialty. Some of the many varied conditions included in sexual health include intimacy disorders, sexually transmitted diseases, reproductive health, LGBTQ issues, and sexual violence.

Sexual intimacy disorders are those that cause problems with the act of sexual intercourse, such as erectile dysfunction or vulvodynia. Erectile dysfunction, the inability to get or maintain an erection hard enough for sexual intercourse, is extremely common. It affects fully half of men over 40 to some degree. It is treated with medications, devices, or surgery. Vulvodynia, burning pain in the vulva that can be made worse with sexal activity, has no known cause. It is treated with oral or topical medications.

Sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS, herpes, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, are bacterial or viral infections that are contagious in the bodily fluids exchanged during sexual contact. Barrier methods of contraception, such as condoms, help prevent the spread of STDs. HIV is a virus that can be caught from an infected person's sexual fluids or blood. When the virus infects the body, it interferes with the immune system and causes the disease known as AIDS. There is no cure, but anti-viral medications can help people with AIDS live a long and healthy life. Herpes is also a virus found in sexual fluids, called HSV-2. It causes blisters that come and go on the genitals. There is no cure for herpes, but anti-virals can minimize outbreaks. Gonorrhea and chlamydia are both bacterial infections. They are extremely common and often have no symptoms. The most common signs of an infection are burning pain and discharge. Gonorrhea and chlamydia can be treated with medications.

Reproductive health refers to both contraception and infertility treatment. Contraceptives prevent and plan the timing of pregnancy. Some, such as a vasectomy or tubal ligation, are extremely effective at preventing pregnancy. Others, such as spermicides, are less reliable. Popular contraceptives include condoms, birth control pills, IUDs, and diaphragms. On the other side of reproductive health, infertility is the inability to carry a pregnancy to term after one year of trying. It can be due to problems in either the man or the woman, and both genders are affected equally. In total, about 15% of the population suffer from infertility. Infertility treatments include medications and surgery.

Gay and transgender people have a few specific health care needs that may sometimes fall under the sexual health umbrella. First, many LGBT people still face discrimination from healthcare providers, so providing supportive and appropriate care is an issue. Because of social attitudes surrounding sexual orientation and gender identity, many gay and transgender people struggle with their identities. Rates of depression, substance abuse, and suicide are all higher in this group. Providing mental health support and counseling to those in transition is critical. Finally, transgender patients who are undergoing gender affirmation require sensitive medical health care, including surgical and hormonal treatment.

Sexual violence can be defined as any unwanted or non-consensual sexual activity. It ranges from sexual harassment to touching to rape. It affects women more than men and is widespread: 1 in 4 women report being victims of sexual violence at the hands of a partner, and as many as 1 in 3 girls report their first sexual contact as being violent. Sexual violence has lasting physical and emotional consequences for victims, but educating both girls and boys can prevent violence. Care for those who have endured sexual violence includes counseling and mental health support, medical care, and legal support.

Sexuality is more than a reproductive requirement -- it is a form of expression and identity. Sexual health blends all these aspects of experience together and helps people lead sexually fulfilling lives.

Excellent experience. I have to say that I wasn't expecting much considering my past medical care in a different medical group. I was pleasantly surprised from the beginning. Polite, well informed, and very helpful support staff. I get nervous at the doctor office and one nurse excelled at making me feel comfortable and even had me laughing. Everyone there worked together to help each other and the patients. It is very nice to come into a happy environment with caring and knowledgeable staff.This was my first time meeting the doctor. He was very personable, thorough, asked questions and answered my questions as well. I have a long medical history and he made sure to cover every Issue and address my concerns. I left the appointment feeling like I was actually listened to and respected. Something I had NEVER encountered before in my old group. I was given a handful of referrals due to my medical Issues. I was contacted quickly and scheduled a mammogram. The aftercare Is too notch. And the app Is easy to use and I was able to see all my test results and upcoming appointments.Best thing I did for my health was change to Providence.

Dr. Lewis Wong is one of the best family doctors I have ever had. I injured a finger two or three months ago and thought it was nothing. Thank goodness we took an x-ray and discovered some damage. I also had back pain which never happens. At 70 years old lots of things keep happening that are not good things. I also may have to have dental surgery and Dr, Wong is helping guide me through this because I have an issue with anemia. Remembering when I was in my twenties, I never went to the doctors. Now being a senior life has become more challenging. Dr. Wong is there to help me find my way and stay healthy. I really appreciate his assistance and patience and understanding. Not everyone understands what people are going through as they age. Also, trying to take care of a spouse who is a heart patient is very demanding at times. Dr. Wong understands the challenges I have to go through more so than any other doctor I have.

Dr Wong and his staff are EXTREMELY GOOD LISTENERS. I have a lot going on and get anxious often. He listens and helps me understand what is going on, takes his time in coming up with a plan with all of my medical history and medications in mind, explains the next steps and why he believes it is the best course of action.I am grateful for a doctor who doesn't just pop in tell me what to do and leave. He really makes sure that I am comfortable and confident in the care he provides.His team is also caring and asks how I am doing, not in a compulsory way, but really caring and wanting to know. They also make sure I ask my doctor on how to better cope with whatever I am going through.

I have been having health issues for a very long time and Dr Wong has been great in listening and in my care. I feel like I finally have a light and can see a way to the end of this healthcare journey and am desperate for it to be over. In finally seeing answers and finality, I am a bit overwhelmed with excitement. I am grateful for Dr Wong's patience and his heart for wanting to see me overcome, but also tempering my expectations and helping me keep perspective. I hope he gets to see this message. It has been a very long while since I have had hope in actually living life again and hope we have found solutions. I am grateful for his guidance.

I feel so confident and well taken care of under Dr. Wong's care. I feel like everything I bring up to him is taken very seriously and he takes the time to explain everything well to me so I understand. I never feel rushed during my visits and never feel like I'm unsure about anything. He truly is the best primary care doctor I have ever had. All the nurse and staff are so warm and welcoming as well. They listen to me and my concerns with the utmost concern and I never feel like my concerns are brushed off. I am really glad to have found this care team and have already had my husband come under Dr. Wong's care as well.

Dr. Wong is very kind, caring, and eager to help me feel better and get well. He is very thorough in connecting with all important information from my chart, asked me a number of questions related to my present experience with cough/congestion/sinus/ear infection, and listened carefully to my answers. Dr. Wong paid special attention to the sounds from my lungs, and the tenderness of my neck under ears, and sinus areas. He made his recommendations with all this gathered information. He reminded me that if I didn't feel better after the course of my prescription, to make sure I call the office for further help.

Reception was able to find me a much faster appointment than what was available online-Dr. Wong was apologetic about running a little late but he was very thorough, patient, took the time to get to know me and diagnose my issue. I am looking forward to setting him up as my new PCP.-Nurse was great in giving me a heads up that things were a bit backed up after taking my vitals-Ultrasound lab had some confusion with the doctor's referral order so I had to call back a few times for them to correct something in their system before being able to schedule the appointment

As far as wait time in waiting room or exam room. It doesn't bother me for Lewis Wong, because I know he takes his time with me and asks and answers ALL of my questions. He is a very thorough Dr., and I presume he is like that with all his patients. So I am happy to wait.In regards to follow up from staff via phone calls. Usual contact is via My Chart. So calls are basically non-existent. He is an excellent Dr., and the staff very competent.
