Customer Reviews

The pain in my knee and left ankle was gone after the surgery 

I could not be more pleased to write this well-deserved review of Dr Nicholas Yeoh Ching Sing, surgeon at HC Orthopaedic Surgery team at Mount Elizabeth Novena Specialist Centre, 38 Irrawaddy Road #06-37 Singapore 329563; and his immensely competent staff members – clinic nurse Tan Pei Ying and clinic assistant Lisa Ng. The road to a total right hip replacement surgery could not be any more extensive considering I first encountered sharp pains in my right thigh; which then extended downwards and across both legs. Not having a clue as to what was happening to me, I did the next best thing and visited the 24-hour accident and emergency clinic at Gleneagles Hospital and after x-ray, I was informed that I needed to go for a bilateral knee replacement surgery. This was a Sunday and as I did not have access to my usual orthopaedic surgeon of 10 years, who dealt with my chronic lower back pain issues, I went home with painkillers. Instinctively and for reasons I cannot qualify, I did some research online, via Google, with the search terms ’Singapore + knee replacement surgery’ and right at the very top of the search engine results, I got hit up with HC Orthopaedic Surgery. The very next morning, I made an appointment and they very kindly accommodated my urgency to see a specialist and sort out this knee replacement matter. The second I walked into the office of Dr Nicholas Yeoh, he immediately identified the issue being my hip, and not knees as initially diagnosed. I was duly impressed. From that moment onwards, Dr Yeoh, along with Pei Ying – his assistant and clinic nurse, who worked directly with him inside his office, started conducting all the needed x-rays and MRIs/scans to clearly identify the issue i.e., my right hip requiring a replacement. Dr Yeoh also ordered a battery of tests to further understand any other peripheral issues and thanks to him, we also discovered my vitamin D levels excessively low and underwhelming. To demonstrate how precise and meticulous Dr Yeoh is, he did another scan to literally measure my right hip to ensure he would eventually fit the replacement device accurately – which eventually resulted in a perfect outcome. As a result of elective surgeries being put on hold during Covid lockdowns, the hospitals were fully-booked and I had to wait past a month for an available bed. During this period, Dr Yeoh would keep in touch with me constantly and check-in on my pain levels – and it was excruciating. Dr Yeoh and Pei Ying were very compassionate and understanding of my dire circumstances and would often call or message me – sending me lots of encouragement and to hang in there and stay the course, until surgery, that is. Every week, I would get lovely messages from Pei Ying counting down the weeks and days to surgery. The day before surgery, I received gentle reminders on what and what not to do and on the morning of the surgery, which was to take place at night, I received another pleasant reminder to have a good breakfast before the start of my pre-surgery fast – I was so indelibly touched by the love and care shown from Dr Yeoh and Pei Ying towards me, their patient. Surgery, as expected, went exceedingly well. According to Dr Yeoh, there was a little bleeding on my end and post-surgery scans showed the right hip replacement a complete success – I was not surprised at the favourable outcome as I felt, during consults prior to surgery, Dr Yeoh had proven himself to be broadly competent and proficient in his skills and expertise in all orthopaedic facets. During my hospital recovery stay, and this really bowled me over – Dr Yeoh and Pei Ying would come and visit me TWICE A DAY, electively, and on their own recognisance – how amazing is that. Dr Yeoh would check in on my surgical scar, urine output, check in on both my legs to which Dr Yeoh had this cutting-edge massage machine, of sorts, to ensure healthy blood flow in order to prevent clotting; and Dr Yeoh had ensure that both my legs were comfortably embedded so I would not accidentally dislocate the hip replacement device.

Dr James comforted us to not to worry, He was very firm & confident and let me feel my husband was in good hands.”

Both side of my stitches was beautifully stitched up

“Visited on Nov 2022 for my right wrist surgery. Was recommended by a friend. Dr. James and his team are professionals and friendly. Based on my previous MRI film which I have done at other clinics, Dr James clearly explained my hand condition with a mannequin for my better understanding. Scheduled my op for the following week. 1 week after the op, I had a consultation with Dr. James. He showed pics and video of my hand during the op and explained what I had done. He is very detailed in his work. Both side of my stitches was beautifully stitched up. Nurses also call/text to follow up post-op. I am very well taken care of by Dr. James and his team. If you have injuries related to ortho/sports definitely recommend Quantum Orthopaedics!”

Extremely helpful in generating additional supporting documents needed for my insurance

“I’m well impressed with the service I have received at the clinic which has been above and beyond what they require to do. They were extremely helpful in generating additional supporting documents needed for my insurance etc. I would hope that I never have to go back to the clinic but should I experience any health issues in the future I will definitely have no hesitations visiting them and Dr Matthew Tung again.”

This orthopaedic clinic offers a heightened level of services

“Today marks 12 weeks post op for a compound heel fracture which repair necessitated the implants of multiple screws as well as the use of bone chips. The best outcome I had sought has been delivered as evidenced by my ability to take “baby steps” now. Primarily, the credit goes to Dr CHONG KEEN WAI, the able surgeon – vouched by our rehab contacts who have personally seen the quality of his finished works over the years. Also praiseworthy and noteworthy is, that this orthopaedic clinic offers a heightened level of services. It is fitted out with essential facilities such as the diagnostic x-ray and physiotherapy units – which wholly eliminate the usual inconveniences for their patients. I appreciate the thoughtful and seamless flow of related services they have created. It exceeds my expectations.”

The surgery procedure was quick and efficient 

“Went to see Dr LS Wang for my left knee swelling. Was told I had a small tumour-like growth in the knee and had to have it removed soon. A surgery date was fixed immediately due to the severity of the condition. The surgery procedure was quick and efficient as well. I am now recovering quicker than expected thanks to the help and care from Dr LS Wang and his team. He is great at explaining the underlying issues and offers the best solutions possible. Would definitely recommend you to see him if you’re going through any similar conditions.”

The treatment was effective as my wife was feeling better in the next couple of days.

“Happened a couple of years back when I was accompanying the wife of our Medical Evacuation (Medevac) patient. Due to lack of sleep (and wrong sleeping position) and anxiety while waiting for the recovery of her husband, she suffered from pain in the neck and shoulder area. Based on a suggestion from a friend, I brought her to the Singapore Sports and Orthopaedic Clinic (if I remember correctly she was treated by Dr. Kevin Yip). We came without reservation and fortunately doctor was able to squeeze in a consultation time to see her. She mentioned that the treatment was effective as she was feeling better in the next couple of days.”
