From South Korea to the state of Georgia, James Hong, DO, has had quite the life experience - one that will help him connect with any patient who walks through his door. Dr. Hong earned his medical degree from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in Suwanee, Georgia, and completed his residency training at Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville. Since then, he's joined the Army Reserve and is looking forward to serving as a physician in the U.S. Army. When he's not at work, Dr. Hong enjoys spending time with his wife and three children. He also likes to camp and hone his skills in photography. He's an avid fan of F.C. Bayern Munich - a German soccer team - and has even been to Munich a few times to watch them play.

This office is the best health office I have ever experienced everybody from reception to office manager to provide provider to PAs. Medical assistance are all wonderful. They have a sense of duty and compassion, rolled into one you feel welcome. You feel that they listen that you know, they will help you. I would recommend this office and provider and all help to anybody and have done so too many of my friends.
