Have never had the pleasure of seeing such a respectful and caring doctor until i met Dr Ernie Wong, he was extremely helpful and listened to all my questions and concerns and wanted to tailor the treatment so it suits my needs perfectly, made the appointment lighthearted and hopeful rather than another burden being added to the list. Its been an absolute pleasure, many thanks!

My recent , and first , consultation with Dr Wong was exemplary. I was so impressed that he had thoroughly pored over my recent medical history ( unrelated to my respiratory problems) and extrapolated any relevant information re scans, blood tests etc, all to aid his diagnosis. He offered clear advice as to the best way to manage any future problems. Atogether an outstandingly satisfactory consultation.
