Eric Wong, MD, was born and raised in Hong Kong. He earned his medical degree from Ross University School of Medicine, Dominica, and a Master of Public Health from Chamberlain University, Downers Grove, Ill.

The preventive, cost-effective, pro-active, whole-person, integrative approach to health care he witnessed in Cuba inspired him to pursue a career in family medicine. That experience led him to Missouri where he became an assistant physician.

It was there he had the opportunity to treat an underserved population that further pushed him to a career in direct primary care. It helped Dr. Wong better understand how a trust-based relationship with a physician in concert with preventive care and health promotion can keep patients well and lower health care costs.
