"Saw Dr. Hong at Jefferson Urgent Care. Was terribly rude and disrespectful. Was short with me when I asked a simple question. Made me feel like I shouldn't have sought care there."

"My encounter with Dr. Seung Hong left me feeling dissatisfied and frustrated. She displayed a noticeable lack of empathy and professionalism. She was rude and seemed disinterested in listening to my concerns. Throughout the appointment, she consistently cut me off while I was attempting to describe my symptoms, making it challenging for me to convey the necessary information. She was so dismissive and ignorant of my questions. She did not explain what I needed to do or what my medications were going to do. This lack of communication left me feeling uninformed and uneasy about my medical situation."

"Went in for a follow up after testing positive for the flu. Had called urgent care prior to going in and was told if my symptoms had gotten worse to definitely come in to be seen again. My cough and congestion had worsened over the last 3 days. When Dr Hong came in the room she greeted me by saying I was here 3 days ago and why am I here again. When I began to explain she cut me off. She said she would do a chest x ray for peace of mind. She also told me that she wouldn’t expect me to be better in this amount of time, and questioned me when I explained my symptoms had gotten worse. I have had very positive experiences at Jefferson urgent care with other doctors and all the nurses. Unfortunately Dr Hong created an unpleasant environment where I felt dismissed and that my concerns were not valid. "

"I’m also a physician and I will say that Dr. Hong has very poor bedside manner. She does come off as rude and condescending. While she may have an adequate fund of knowledge, she is a poor communicator and does not convey empathy or concern. The previously provided reviews are very understandable after having a doctor-patient interaction with Dr. Hong, myself."

"Very poor communicator and terrible patience. Went to see her about a private part issue and she interrupted me several times while I was explaining. At one point, the information became relevant so she actually let me continue talking. She was also very condescending and treated me like a child. For example, when I was telling her my thoughts of where I was in treatment process, she insisted that she didn’t have time to explain everything to me (when in reality I was just telling her how I felt). I get that she’s probably overworked, but she could be a lot nicer. Hopefully Jefferson talks to her about this at some point. "

"I saw her this summer when I tested positive for COVID and can confirm everything in the other reviews. She came in contemptuous from the start, scolded me, made me feel like it was my fault that I had the virus. I honestly believe she hates sick people, in fact that may have been her motivation for becoming a doctor. Anyway I will never return or suggest anyone go to Jefferson Urgent Care, at least while she still works there."

"Rude. Thinks you make up things and that everyone has the same symptoms lol."
  • August 11, 2023
"I went in for a post op concern I had and it turned out I misunderstood my doctors instructions and went to the wrong building but instead of simply and kindly informing me I was in the wrong place she stormed in, after an almost half hour wait in the exam room, and abruptly blurted to me that she was confused as to why I’m there and acted as if my simply existing in the same room by accident was annoying her. She did and said plenty of other maddening things but her overall annoyed attitude and rude demeanor just made me furious. I don’t even know why she’s in the medical field if she clearly doesn’t want to be of help to those that need it. Avoid her. If she walks in, ask to see another doctor. Even if you have to wait. "

"Awful experience. Told me to “come back when it’s worse tomorrow”. It was worse the next day and I was bedridden. Couldn’t move for 4 days with a lymph node infection very severe. Awful awful doctor"
  • December 5, 2022
"Dismissive and terrible patient interaction. Barely spent any time with me and didn’t believe what I was telling her. One of the worst providers I’ve dealt with. Seemed annoyed to have to be dealing with me. "
  • November 16, 2022
"The worst doctor I have ever seen. Literally, I totally agree with the other reviews providing low scores. Very rude. Don't listen to patients. Eventually says go to Emergency. It was just a waste of time."
  • November 3, 2022
" Absolutely Awful!I went in for pain medication and a script for a UTI issue.Totally dismissive of what I told her,wrote no scripts and told me I should go to an Emergency Room,after I'd already spent the money and time to go to Urgent Care. Total waste of time and money!"

"Worst doctor I have ever seen. Worst attitude worst everything. Avoid as if your life depends on it."
  • August 14, 2021
""Wam bam thank you mam" type of medicine!!! Not only did Dr. Hong spend less than 5 minutes with me and evince almost no interest in the job at hand, she also spoke at such a rapid rate I could barely understand her [though I have a PhD, 3 Emmy's and 8 Telly's]. She was also rude and dismissive. She needs a reminder about the importance of manners and honorifics!!"
