Richard Wong

Dr. Wong is a California native who completed undergraduate training at UCLA and attended veterinary school at Western University College of Veterinary Medicine. After graduating from veterinary school in 2010, he pursued a competitive internship at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. His success in this internship led to his selection for a Small Animal Surgery Residency at a busy private practice, Animal Specialty Group, in Los, Angeles, CA (2011-2014).

After finishing his residency, Dr. Wong went to Massachusetts to build a surgery department at a private practice where he became a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons. Since leaving Massachusetts in 2017 he went on to several multispecialty practices in the south east and is eager to join Veterinary Surgical Centers at the Gaithersburg location. His professional interests lie in orthopedics, oncologic surgery, and neurosurgery.

When not at work, Dr. Wong enjoys cycling, kayaking, and hiking.
