My Angioplasty procedure in December 2025 was a complete success. After 3 months, my leg pain has reduced so much that I now enjoy good sleep for as much as 7 or 8 hours per night. My leg ulcers are healing slowly and the associated pains are fewer and fewer. I will continue with Clopidogrel and aispirin as advised. Mr Lim will contact my GP to enable dispense of the Clopidogrel.
Mr Lim spent a considerably time listening to me and his compassion and professionalism were greatly appreciated.
Dr Chung was patient and meticulous in his history taking and triage. was able to explain to me the probable causes of my symptoms and discuss treatment options and modalities As a fellow physician, I posed several questions and theories, and he diligently answered all of them. It was a good call
I saw Mr Lim today in a follow up appointment. I came out very happy and satisfied with the consultation. Mr Lim has excellent bedside manners which make a patient feel at ease and encouraged to ask any relevant questions about the condition. He is also a very humble consultant who is caring and supportive. I felt very confident in him as a knowledgeable consultant making me feel assured that he gave me the best advice in a timely fashion. His encouragement to me as I followed his instructions to the letter resulted in a good outcome so that I now can progress with other medical issues such as a knee replacement which was delayed due to the vascular issues now means that I can get on with my life. Mr Lim was very thorough in his investigation of my condition leaving no stone unturned to get to the bottom of the matter and see to it that it is resolved satisfactorily. I confidently recommend him to others.
He was very knowledgeable and explained things very clearly.
I simply loved it and felt very confident having my surgery with him.
I first of all attended a Vascular Ultrasound investigation requested by Mr. Lim. This appointment was so useful in confirming and providing answers. Following this test, I then went directly to an appointment with Mr. Lim. At this stage in my life, I have met many consultants. Respectfully, I want to say Mr. Lim had one of the kindest approaches I have ever ever received. In this appointment, I genuinely felt so respected, listened to, informed, and supported. Mr Lim give me so much time after years of struggling with my health, he was empathic, and gentle in his approach. Mr. Lim was so thorough and clear in how he explained things - he answered any questions and just took his time with me. Mr. Lim very gently and sensitively worked with me in complex and difficult circumstances. Even though there is no 'cure' or 'solution' for my problems, the appointment was so so healing from start to finish - I was met with so much kindness and validation. So grateful for professionals who care. Thank you so much.
Fantastic surgeon, an excellent clinician, and incredibly compassionate with his patients.
