    Robert Wong, MD

    I am not a key opinion leader.  Nor am I an expert on healthcare policy or technology.  I am, however, a physician practicing in an every day office who enjoys taking care of my patients and occasionally stops to ask a few questions about what we do and why.  I developed this site as a forum where doctors can voice their opinions on what works and what doesn't.

     

    36th & HAMILTON is the location of the biomedical library in the basement of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.  This site pays homage to the place where my medical education began- in the trenches.
