Mr. Chong is quietly spoken but very knowledgeable. Between Mr. Chong and the information provided by the hospital I was I believe confidently prepared for both the operation and recovery.

I attended Ross Hall clinic to see Mr David Chong regarding my hernia. The whole experience was excellent. My initial appointment and surgery were organised very quickly. Mr Chong was very friendly and professional as were all clinic and hospital staff. Mr Chong explained what was involved very clearly. The information leaflets provided on discharge from hospital were extremely comprehensive and helpful. My experience could not have been improved on and I highly recommend Mr Chong.

Mr Chong was outstanding throughout my investigations. He went above and beyond to make sure every possible cause was thoroughly investigated and provided reassurance. His manner was kind, professional and compassionate at every appointment, and I always felt listened to and taken seriously. I couldn’t fault the care I received and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring consultant.
