Some issues Dr. Michael Y. Wong, MD, PhD can help you with:

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy is the targeted use of extreme cold to destroy unhealthy or unwanted tissue. The doctor applies the cold on the skin or injects it through a needle to reach the inside of the body, where it freezes away the problem tissue. Cryotherapy is often used to remove minor skin problems such as warts or skin tags, and it is also used to treat some small tumors.

To achieve the cold temperatures needed for cryotherapy, liquid nitrogen or argon gas is passed through a tube, which becomes cold enough to freeze cells on contact. Alternatively, liquid nitrogen can be swabbed directly onto the skin or via a spray, which applies only a specific, small amount to the skin at a time.

Because the area treated is typically very small, cryotherapy is not usually painful. There may be a sensation of cold and possibly some slight discomfort. Cryotherapy is very fast and can easily be performed in a doctor's office. It also doesn't require stitches, because there is no cutting involved. These benefits make cryotherapy a good choice for many issues, including:

  • Common warts
  • Genital warts
  • Skin tags
  • Age spots
  • Some skin cancers
  • Cervical cancer
  • Prostate cancer
  • Retinoblastoma, cancer that occurs in the eye

Depending on the procedure, it usually takes three to four weeks to heal after cryotherapy. If it was done internally, patients may feel sore or have a small amount of swelling the first day afterwards. If cryotherapy was performed on the skin, patients will have a scab where their tissue was removed. Keep it clean and dry so it can heal.

Hysteroscopy

A hysteroscopy is a diagnostic procedure performed to examine the inside of the uterus. A thin tube with a camera and light at the end, called a hysteroscope, is inserted through the vagina. It allows the physician to view the cervix and uterine walls. Sometimes, gas or liquid is used to expand the uterus and allow a better view. If necessary, tiny instruments can also be passed through the tube and used for certain procedures, such as taking a biopsy or removing a polyp.

Hysteroscopy is often done to figure out the cause of abnormal menstrual bleeding. However, it can also be used to:

  • Identify the cause of recurrent miscarriage
  • Remove polyps or fibroids, non-cancerous growths in the uterus
  • Remove adhesions, scar tissue within the uterus
  • Identify uterine septums, a wall of tissue dividing the uterus
  • Perform ablation, the removal of excess uterine lining

If surgery is necessary, hysteroscopy is often used along with laparoscopy, a kind of surgery performed through small incisions in the abdomen. Tiny tools are passed through the incisions, and the hysteroscope guides the doctors while surgery is performed.

Pessary

A pessary is a device that is inserted into the vagina to relieve symptoms associated with mild to moderate pelvic organ prolapse, a condition in which the womb, bladder, or rectum bulges into the vaginal canal. This device is made of either rubber or plastic and is a safe, nonsurgical way to provide support for prolapsed organs.

Pessaries come in different shapes and sizes, and finding the right one can take some trial and error. Before a pessary fitting, patients will be examined and evaluated based on prolapse-related symptoms they may be experiencing, which may include discomfort, urine leakage when sneezing or coughing, and trouble keeping tampons in.

The following tips can help guide the process of finding the right fit:

  • Once in place, patients should not be able to feel the device at all. If there is even slight pressure, patients should let their healthcare provider know, and she will find a pessary of a different size or shape.
  • The pessary should not fall out with sneezing, coughing, jumping, or squatting. While getting fitted, patients should try jumping or squatting to see if the device will fall out. If it does, a different pessary will be inserted until they find one that stays in place.
  • Patients and their healthcare providers should make sure the device is improving symptoms by having a check-up 5 to 15 days after it is inserted. If there is no improvement, patients may have to be re-fitted with a different pessary, or patients may be asked to consider surgical options.

The device should be kept clean to avoid issues like vaginal odor, discharge, or irritation. To clean a pessary, it must be taken out and washed with soap and water. Healthcare providers will instruct patients on how to remove and reinsert the device. If patients are unable to do this on their own, they will need to get it done at the doctor's office at least once every two months.

Dr. "Wrong" took over my care when my surgeon retired and is now refusing me after care for endometriosis scar tissue adhesions on the basis that I am "not female" anymore because I lost my reproductive system to my disease and he only treats women. Meanwhile all the other specialists keep referring me back to him because they don't treat endometriosis. I am in horrific pain and his response is basically, "no you're not, and if you are, it's not MY problem." He also believes in the old world practice of telling women to have a baby to treat endometriosis.  That's what my mother was told, and that's why I was born.... not because she wanted me, but because her doctor told her to have a baby. Babies are not prescriptions, they are people. But now that I can't have any, I am not viewed as a real person either... Some day I can only hope that future generations of women will not have to endure such sexism in their medical care.

The blonde nurse that works with Dr.Wong is absolutely amazing. I delivered my baby and did part of my prenatal care with providence and now postnatal and out of everyone I've met at providence so far she has treated me the best. So welcoming, comforting, kind, caring and compassionate. Dr.Wong is absolutely incredible and listened to my concerns and explained everything clearly and gave me a good health plan going forward and along with his amazing nurse is what makes me want to do all my future prenatal and postnatal care with them. Thank you for completely changing my experience around after a prior not great one.

Dr. Wong was clear and concise in delivering information and laying out options. He listened carefully and with empathy. The clinical support staff who roomed me- took history, etc. (I am unfortunately blanking on her name), was particularly amazing, she made me feel comfortable and listened to, and eased my way throughout the entire visit. All of this occurred even though I was a last minute add to the schedule that morning.

The front office staff was friendly and helpful. The intake nurse was professional and thorough at asking me about my concerns. Dr Wong listened to my issues and together we came up with a plan. He made me feel comfortable about the decision to have surgery which is needed. I will continue to be a patient at this office. Great people skills so thanks to all of you!

Dr Wong was easy to work with and very thorough. Even though it's been five years, since I last saw him, he was completely up to speed with details of my last visit and connected them to my current health situation. He explained upcoming steps thoroughly and patiently answered all my questions. I was very pleased with my visit. He's a great doctor!

This was my first time meeting Dr. Wong and I have nothing but good things to say about it. He listened, I didn't feel rushed during my appointment and he provided a great care plan. I appreciated his time and patience as I was incredibly anxious going into this appointment but he eased a lot of my concerns.

Personally grateful he didn't dismiss my issues and I greatly appreciated him going over why a treatment in particular wouldn't work. THe whole appointment was probably the smoothest and nicest medical experiences I had, all the way down to the person that drew my blood and the nurse!
