- Prof Oo did my surgery back in July. I was terrified but he reassured me, explained everything to me and provided me with great support and care. I am very grateful to him for saving my life.
- The initial appointment was everything I could have hoped for . The follow up service thus far leaves a lot to be desired . So i have requested details of financial costs for any surgery I will require and I have yet to hear anything from the
- Professor Oong was hugely informative, helpful and extremely kind
- Kind, professional and assuring.
- Professor Oo and his team were incredible. I felt informed throughout. He spent time with me each day in Hospital. He is truly dedicated to his patients.
- Words are not enough to adequately describe Dr Oo,s attention to detail, humility and dedication to his patient's welfare and comfort.
- I found prof Oo very caring and helpful. His service was second to none and he is still helping me post surgery. The fact that I’m able to text him is really helpful. My previous surgeon had asked his opinion when completing my first surgery and he is held in high regard by my consultant. The hospital wasn’t quite what I expected having been admitted as a private patient but I appreciate Covid impacted my experience.
