Joyce Gong
Medical Assistant & Clinical Scribe
Joyce is a Brown University biophysics graduate and clinical researcher whose work centers on building patient-facing tools for hereditary cancer prevention. For her senior honors thesis she developed AskLynch, a citation-grounded clinical decision-support platform for Lynch syndrome that pairs guideline synthesis with personalized risk curves and printable guides for families and their physicians.
At the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, she helped build a web-based cancer-risk modeling tool designed to improve screening for patients underrepresented in conventional guidelines; she is co-first author on the resulting manuscript, currently under review at JCO Clinical Cancer Informatics. She has presented her research at the CGA–IGC Annual Meeting and the Lynch Syndrome Symposium, and previously co-led an electronic medical records project serving Rohingya refugee clinics in Bangladesh.
Before joining the practice she trained in oncology, surgery, optometry, and rehabilitation settings — from chemotherapy infusion care at The Miriam Hospital to surgical family liaison work at Lahey Hospital & Medical Center. Away from the clinic, she competes for Team USA in Ballet sur Glace, where she is a Senior World bronze medalist and a two-time U.S. National silver medalist.
In the office, Joyce supports the oculoplastics and orthopedic surgery practice — taking histories, documenting visits, coordinating referrals, assisting during procedures, and helping patients navigate prior authorizations, workers' compensation, and disability documentation.
