Hi guys, would like to shout out for my orthopaedic surgeon Dr Yong Yuan Shyh. I twisted my knee 3 weeks ago when I was playing basketball, I thought is small injury duh, till 2nd week, my swelling gone 70% but I still can't fully bend my knee lack of 30 degree.

So I went for specialist seeking for advise.
1. Dr Chan Kin Yuen, Gleneagle Ampang
2. Dr Yong Yuan Shyh, Columbia Asia Setapak

Scanned MRI, confirmed ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) torn, need reconstruction. Fee quote is 35k at Gleneagle & 30k at Columbia. Fee is not my main concern as covered under my insurance. Operating 2.5hours.

At first I have doubt whether should go on surgery as:-
1. Rehab is long 3weeks light walk (need crutches), 3 months back jogging, 6months-1year back sport
2. Pain
3. Lost 30% of stability

After seeking both doc advise, it may further damage my knee in long run so I have decided did mine on 23Dec under Dr Yong Yuan Shyh. Graft hamstring.

Today is my 4th day after surgery and I'm discharge today.
- Pain is almost none! Its KEYHOLE surgery, wound is very small.
- I can still feel my leg muscle, power.
- Hospital facility is good, Wifi is blazing fast stream Youtube Astro live feed, food is great, nurse is lenglui.

Feeling great to walk again soon & thats my experience share with u guys. Ciao!

Hello. I have been having back pain for few years. I found this thread and after considering the few Doctor available, I went to check with Doctor Eugene Wong of Pantai Hospital, KL. I did a MRI scan and Dr. Eugene WOng explained that i have a Intervertebral Disc Liquid (IVD) leakage. Dr. Eugene Wong suggest that I do an Injection to stop the further leaking of the IVD Liquid.

Now my consideration and concern is:-

1) The risk of doing an Injection to the area full of nerves to the bottom part of the body. Doctor Eugene Wong say the Injection is a no risk (I believe there is definitely some risk there).

2) Dr. Eugene Wong showed me a picture (as below. red circle done by me) of my MRI Scan result via the handphone though i requested to see the actual official result of the MRI scan. He say the official report is available and will be shown to me later and persist me to do the Injection. (I got my result today and he suggest me to do the injection tomorrow. I am not comfortable that Dr. Eugene Wong did not show me the original MRI Scan result. (I'm wondering if the photo of the back bone on his handphone really belongs to me.)

3) I took this MRI Scan under Insurance coverage. Dr. Eugene Wong says that i might not e able to claim my Insurance if i just did the MRI scan but did not go ahead with the treatment


So, My question is:-

1) Does anybody have treatment experience with Dr. Eugene Wong on his and how do you fare his treatment quality? Reliable and trustable?

Thank you.

On the item 3, yes the Dr is right. If there is no treatment being done, then it is considered as for investigative purposes, thus it is not claimable.

Having said that, do take a look at your policy and if there is a Pre-hospitalization (example 30 days), any bills (in your case is the MRI) within the 30 days is claimable, provided the end result is that there is a treatment to correct the medical condition.

Thus, if need be, you may seek a second opinion with another Dr (within 30 days) if you are not comfortable with the current Dr and claim it under pre-hospitalization.

The most important thing is that there must be a procedure to correct the issue for it to warrants that it is a medically necessary procedure.

On the rest of the item, I leave it to others whom are more competent to comment.

Hi, I would suggest that you go for second consultation from different doctor before taking any action. From there you will know if the doctor give you the same result/answer towards your situation. You have mentioned that you experienced some back pains, how about numbness? If it is just a normal bulging disc, no operation/injection is needed and you may improve your condition by physio/chiro/exercise. There are some risks for lumbar injection however, it is relatively rare.

For insurance coverage, you need to get admitted in order to claim for your MRI scan, unless you take the treatment from the same doctor.

Hope this help you.

Hi, All,

I have a herniated disc at L4/L5 which is similar to the 1st MRI shown in this forum but without any pain except some muscles pull at the back.

After reading the forum and recommendation of Orthopeadic surgeon.

I have visited few consultants highlighted here (1 from Tung Shin and 2 from Pantai) and noticed that most of the surgeon is not very professional and some are giving outdated proposal and only tell you 1 suggestion which you need to take. They will not tell you all the options available and only confine to what they use to do on their daily routine.

As example,

Most of us aware that Herniation disc will cause stenosis which may resulted a back pain, numbness and uncontrol urine/past motion.

The method of treatment may include Steriod injection, Mirodiscertomy, fusion titanium bracket, Diam silicone and titanium coflex spacer clip....etc. (check the internet).


Meaning that, if the Dr specialise on Injection then they will ask you to go for injection and will not tell you other option like why you dont need a microdiscertomy/or a spacer..etc. Likewise, those who specialise on surgery will not propose Injection because they are not doing this scope of work.

In conclusion, you must check all the pro and con from the internet and get ready the questions before you going to see them.

As to date which had visited 3 consultants , I have yet to get the same proposal from them. This make me very confuse which treatment to be adopted.

Still searching for a good consultant. Any recommendation?

Cheers

CoralChong,

I advice you to take the MRI scan for better understanding.

Wertlee,

Please seek other consultation and check the internet on risk for ESI before a decision made.
