About Dr. Sophia Wong

I’m a board-certified ophthalmologist with additional fellowship training in vitreoretinal surgery. Originally from Short Hills, NJ, I came to Washington, DC for residency at The George Washington University. I completed a rigorous surgical fellowship at University of California, Davis. I returned to GWU as Associate Residency Program Director and now serve as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology.

My practice is grounded in evidence-based medicine, combining clinical experience with the latest research to guide treatment decisions.

I live in Bethesda with my husband, Ben, and our three children. In my spare time, I enjoy reading mystery novels and spending time in nature.

I was referred to Dr Wong and found her knowledgeable and explained my condition and course of treatment very thoroughly. Would highly recommend her to anyone with retina concerns. Her staff was very kind and respectful.
