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.

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.
