Hon-Yeun Wong, MD in Baltimore: Primary Care with Minimal Wait Times
Dr. Hon-Yeun Wong operates a solo family practice in Canton focused on same-day or next-day appointments for established and new patients. The practice handles routine preventive care, management of chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes, minor acute care, and coordination with specialists, without the scheduling delays common at larger group practices or hospital-affiliated clinics across Baltimore.
What the practice actually is
A single-provider family medicine office, not a walk-in clinic or urgent care. Dr. Wong accepts new adult patients and sees established patients without referrals. The practice does not have extended hours, does not handle pediatric or geriatric specialization, and refers cases requiring advanced diagnostics or emergency intervention to partner institutions.
Services and insurance
The practice manages routine primary care: annual physicals, control of blood pressure and cholesterol, management of type 2 diabetes and common thyroid conditions, vaccinations, and minor acute complaints (urinary tract infections, upper respiratory infections, minor skin issues). Dr. Wong can order blood work, urinalysis, and EKGs on-site; imaging and more complex testing flow through referral.
Insurance accepted includes Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Anthem, Cigna, and Aetna. Cash pay for an established-patient visit runs approximately $120 to $150; new-patient physicals are typically higher. Specific co-pays and deductible applications depend on individual plan design. Patients should call to confirm coverage before scheduling, as Baltimore plans vary substantially in out-of-pocket structure.
How it compares to other Baltimore family practice options
Canton Medical Associates, a three-provider group also in Canton, maintains longer appointment slots but faces typical group scheduling delays of 2 to 3 weeks for routine visits. Harbor Health, a Federally Qualified Health Center with multiple locations including Canton and Fells Point, accepts uninsured patients and sliding-scale fees but operates on a clinic model where same-day booking depends on cancellation availability. Dr. Wong's schedule typically fills 1 to 2 weeks out for non-urgent visits, and same-day slots open regularly for established patients reporting acute symptoms.
Choose Dr. Wong if you value continuity with a single provider and prefer shorter appointment waits. Choose Canton Medical Associates or Harbor Health if you prefer multiple physician options or need sliding-scale fees.
Who this practice suits and does not suit
Suited: Adults seeking ongoing primary care from one doctor, patients with Medicare or standard commercial insurance, those who prioritize quick access over multi-specialty convenience, and patients who already have or can identify a preferred local specialist.
Not suited: Patients without insurance (Harbor Health is a better match), those requiring pediatric or geriatric specialization, families seeking one-stop multi-provider clinics, or patients with Medicaid (accept confirmation before scheduling).
What the first visit involves
New patients schedule a 45-minute appointment. Bring insurance card and photo ID. The visit includes a medical history review, physical examination, baseline blood pressure and weight, and discussion of preventive care needs. Dr. Wong orders labs or imaging only if indicated by examination or history; routine annual labs are typically ordered during or after the visit. Expect a follow-up appointment 1 to 2 weeks after lab results if results require discussion or treatment initiation.
Hours, parking, and location
The practice is located in Canton near the intersection of Eastern Avenue and South Collington Avenue. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Street and lot parking is available on and near the block; no reserved patient lot. Call to confirm current hours, as occasional holiday closures may apply.
Phone number for scheduling: verify current contact information before calling.
Dr. Wong fills a real gap in Baltimore's primary care landscape: single-provider continuity without the booking friction of larger systems, and shorter waits than urgent care for scheduled issues that do not rise to emergency level.
