About me

Hello, I’m Dr. Dan Tong, a board-certified internal medicine physician. Welcome to my webpage. 

 

Biography

 

I grew up in San Diego and am proud to call it home. My wife and I have 3 boys and a cavapoo named Louie.   

 

My interest in biology and biochemistry inspired me to pursue medicine, where I could apply scientific knowledge to improve people’s lives. I have a particular interest in longevity and helping patients live longer, healthier lives through education, prevention, and evidence-based care. 

 

In addition to my clinical practice, I serve as teaching faculty for family medicine residents and as chair of the San Diego Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee, helping guide evidence-based medication and formulary decisions across our medical center. I have also been honored with multiple professional recognitions including the Fellow American College of Physicians (FACP) and San Diego Top Doctor awards in 2024 to 2026. I also serve as a core physician for Advanced Medical Care at Home (AMCAH), a Kaiser Permanente program that provides hospital level care in the comfort of home for eligible patients. 

 

About my practice

 

As a hospital medicine physician, I treat and care for patients with acute illnesses and complex medical conditions. Hospitalization can be stressful for patients and their families, and I consider clear explanations, thoughtful guidance, and compassionate care essential to my work. 

 

My approach is centered on treating the whole patient, not simply the diagnosis. I take time to understand each patient’s priorities and concerns, explain treatment options, and make decisions together. 

 

I believe exceptional hospital care requires clinical expertise, thoughtful communication, and close collaboration.  I work closely with specialists, nurses, pharmacists, therapists, and case managers to coordinate care throughout the hospital stay and the transition home. I want every patient to feel heard, respected, and supported. 

 

How I thrive

 

I enjoy teaching and working alongside colleagues who share a commitment to caring for our community. Those relationships are among the most rewarding parts of my work at Kaiser Permanente. 

 

Outside of medicine, I love traveling, spending time in the wilderness and outdoors and have hiked in destinations around the world. I stay active through weightlifting and high-intensity interval training, and I make balanced nutrition a priority.  Spending time with family and friends, and our dog, Louie, helps me stay grounded and brings balance to my life.
