I tell everyone who asks me about Dr Truong. He is supportive and helpful in a very complex and unclear set of syndromes. He should have teams of support to aid him in caring for long covid patients.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/26/2026
Dr. Thong exemplifies the superior medical expertise that warrants my 3.5-hour journey to Emory for Long COVID management. He demonstrated exceptional diagnostic acumen by posing incisive questions and listening attentively, deftly steering the dialogue to ensure I felt comprehensively heard, even amid time constraints.Holding a Master's degree in Organic Chemistry, I possess the technical proficiency to rigorously evaluate physicians' scientific knowledge. Dr. Thong's profound command of my therapeutic options, or conversely, limitations, left me impressed. As a seasoned recruiter, I am equally adept at assessing interpersonal dynamics, including the navigation of intricate conversations and the modulation of diverse patient emotions. Dr. Thong distinguishes himself as preeminent in both the technical rigor and humanistic artistry of healthcare delivery.

Dr. Troung is one of the few doctors I see who actually seems to care about me. Not only does he care about my lungs, he cares about my whole health, and most practitioners only consider their specialty. Neglecting the other Issues Is problematic for their patients' health. I highly recommend Dr. Troung.

Dr Truong is very professional and thorough. He seems very caring to patients and seems to put lot of thought into helping resolve issues. Physicians are very busy these days; however, I never once felt rushed or that he wouldn't take the necessary time with me.

Dr. Truong and his staff are in my opinion are awesome! He is very attentive to our discussion and cares about my wellness. However, Emory needs to to hire more Plumonary to assist the Plumonary department. Doctors are humans like any other professions. To ensure continued efficacy , assistants are need for the wellbeing of all patients. However his practice is very efficient, caring, and knowledgeable.

I have always had a positive experience with Dr. Truong. He is patient, listens attentively, and involves me in any changes to my treatment plan or before adding any additional meds. He is professional and approachable. He's my favorite doctor at Emory. (I don't get nervous about seeing him like I do most physicians). I actually find him personable even when he is running behind because of a heavy workload. He makes it worth the wait because he gives me his undivided attention and does not appear rushed.

Dr. Truong is an exceptional doctor. He asks questions about what is going on me, and how I am doing, and most importantly he listens. He takes the time needed to know me as an individual and not treat me as just a patient. If I mention something that may need checking into, he will discuss it with me and give me options of how I want to handle it. If it brings up a whole new treatment area, he will recommend what needs to be done and will start the process.

Dr. Truong listened to my account of what had happened since my last appointment. He was concerned about some symptoms that have not improved as much as I had hoped. He explained that I had to be patient (no magic wand) and said that I was much better and should continue to concentrate on staying well and keep up my exercise regime and daily task plan; however, I had to take time to rest and not over do it. ;-)

Dr Truong and his staff are all wonderful! They are all very caring and supportive and I was given plenty of opportunity to ask questions. Dr Truong never rushed me and he was thorough and created a great treatment plan. I have been suffering with long covid for almost 2 yrs and have been turned away or brushed off by so many physicians who didn't know what to do with my symptoms so they either brushed off my symptoms or told me to go to Mayo Clinic. I went from constantly being on the move and never sitting down and able to sleep 4 hrs a night and function well pre-Covid to being unable to work, in bed most days because of the fatigue and pain and many other symptoms post covid. Dr Truong gave me hope again. I appreciated his honesty that there is no definitive treatment plan that works for every pt, but every pt has their own unique treatment plan that fits them and he asks for feedback on how the treatment plan works or doesn't work so it can help others. He truly cares about the health and wellbeing of his patients and he treated me as a whole person instead of focusing on one specific area. I'm so grateful to Dr Truong and his staff and I'm truly grateful for the time he puts in to researching long covid to help others. I highly recommend Dr Truong and his wonderful team!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/24/2024
Dr Truong listens and cares! He thoroughly collected Info, detailed the options for moving forward, and ensured I fully understood. There was no rushing or dismissing. We need more doctors like him In the world!
