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.
