Been Learning to Appreciate the Simpler Things in Life. Who's With Me?

Recently, I've been learning to appreciate the simpler things in life. In no particular order: Ice cream cones 🍦 Pizza and tacos 🌮 Warm spring weather 🌞 Road trips 🚘 Seeing old friends 😊 Reconnecting with cousins and family. My good health 🍎 My ability to help my patients. I'm thankful for all of the above 🙏 Here's a #photodump from my recent trip to Boston. I caught up with my med school classmate Jim Rhee, walked around Charles Street and Beacon Hill, and enjoyed ton

Sometimes I Call My Elderly Patients Just to “Catch Up.”

This week, I received a call from Frances, my 102 year old patient. I hadn’t seen her in over 4 years. She is homebound and unable to come in for her eye exam, but she wanted to “catch up.” At the end of my day, I gave her a ring. We chatted for a half hour and I was happy to find that, mentally, she’s still as sharp as ever. I asked her, “what’s the secret to a long life?” She replied, “You asked me that 4 years ago!” I thought, what a great memory she has! I then asked, “Is

Merry Christmas! So Much to be Grateful For this Holiday Season.

On behalf of me and my staff at Greenwich Ophthalmology, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! This Christmas has been low-key for me. I've been mostly eating, napping, and spending time with close friends and family. I even tried my hand at baking cookies! (see the pic above. It’s been a great holiday weekend so far! But this holiday season, I can't help thinking about we've all been through the past couple of years. The COVID pandemic has been tough for everyone, especially h

Happy and Grateful to Receive the COVID-19 Vaccine

I recently received the first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. I can’t think of a better way to start 2021! If you are weighing the risks/benefits of getting vaccinated, please discuss it with your doctor and keep an open mind. Even with all its flaws, America is a free country and people have a right to make their own informed decisions. I respect this. But the key word here is *Informed.* As for me, I didn’t hesitate one bit. I believe the evidence is clear. The COVID-

Despite This Tough Year, Let’s Have Some Holiday Cheer!

⁣Despite the difficulties of 2020, there are still many things to be thankful for. As I see my last patients before the Christmas holiday, it's been great to see many of my patients in the holiday spirit. Many are coming for their eye exams wearing bright reds and holiday colors. In this photo above, I’m with one of my favorite patients Antina who, as a young child, lived in Nazi-occupied Holland. She told me that social distancing and not seeing her kids is not as bad as liv

Happy Thanksgiving!

In the age of COVID, no judgement for not sharing! And who knew? Cupcakes are actually perfect for #socialdistancing. We have all been through a lot in 2020. On behalf of myself and my team, we hope there is a little dessert coming into your life soon. You deserve it! Happy Thanksgiving! #thanksgiving #thanksgiving2020 #cupcake #grateful #thankful #autumn #positivevibes #dessert #positivevibesonly

Grateful to be Part of the Greenwich Medical Community

An amazing thing about working in the Greenwich/Stamford area is our close-knit medical community. I used to work in NYC and it was very difficult to get to know my medical colleagues. But here in Greenwich, I can immediately reach many local primary care doctors and specialists by text or cell phone. In turn, they can easily reach me. It also helps that we generally like each other! I was reminded about this when I recently caught up with Dr. Elizabeth Hung, a good friend an

Dr. Tsong Named Top Doctor 2020

I am humbled to be named one of the top ophthalmologists in Fairfield County, CT. Of the hundreds of physicians in the area, just 32 ophthalmologists made the cut. You can see the feature article here in Greenwich Magazine. The selection process starts with nominations by one's peers, fellow physicians. A dedicated committee reviews the credentials of each nominee. They give special scrutiny to medical education, board certification, professional achievements, years in practi

Favorite Part of My Job: Getting to Know My Patients ❤️

At first glance, Elva is an unassuming 85 year old woman. But dig deeper and you’ll find out that she worked closely with Cyrus Vance, Secretary of State during the Carter administration. She was part of history (see below). #thankful for the opportunity to care for patients like Elva. #grateful to call her my friend 😊 While the system can make it challenging, health care professionals need to try our best to get to know our patients. #positivevibes #positivevibesonly #green
