Consult was very smooth and helpful, looking forward to my treatment
Dr Ong is an excellent dermatologist. He removed a skin cancer on my forehead which has healed very well. He explained everything clearly and inspires real confidence. I couldn’t recommend him more highly
I had the most fruitful medical experience with Dr Ong and cannot recommend and thank him highly enough. I have been dealing with new incredibly itchy skin and had seen multiple doctors who were unable to diagnose the condition. Within a few minutes Dr Ong had given me a diagnosis and treatment plan my scabies, identified the mites which he showed me, and now finally my ordeal is over and the itching is finally clearing!
The experience was far better than I ever envisaged and the outcome of the minor surgery and scar is virtually invisible
Dr Ong was kind and considerate whilst remaining completely professional in both my initial consultation and the subsequent procedure to treat the lesion at the corner of my mouth. His explanations were clear and authorative and the procedure was carried out efficiently and without fuss. I wish to record my appreciation to the very helpful and friendly people in his office.
I can thoroughly recommend Dr Ong. He is polite, professional and inspires positivity and confidence during anxious times. I was diagnosed quickly and the procedure required to treat me was carried out with speed and efficiency. He is efficient and knowledgeable and communicates well with every stage of diagnosis and treatment.
Dr Ong provided a very quick but thorough diagnoses, he provided further information via email on the condition. He answered every question I had, and put my mind at ease.
Excellent experience. Dr Ong was thorough, reassuring, and explained treatment options in a way that made sense. The regime seems to be working for my eczema. Would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends and family
I can’t thank Dr Ong enough for his excellent care. He helped me with a few issues in the consultation when only referred in for one. Very knowledgeable and caring
