Hernia
From my first appointment until the surgery, every staff that I encountered were great, accommodating and caring. Mr Yip did a great job and I am really healing well. I jst hope that someone can explain to me the “new things” I can feel inside my body after surgery. I am aware that they will be putting in a mesh to fix the hernia but I don’t know how it should feel like, so I can identify future health issues if it arises e.g. lumps. But other than that, everyone has been amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

My experience with Mr Yip was exceptional. In addition to his excellent technical skills and knowledge, he was very caring and always generous with his time when I had questions or needed reassurance. My surgery with him was a complete success and I felt very well looked after. I would recommend him without reservation.

Liver Surgery
Mr Yip was clear and informative through out the whole process. Taking the time to ensure I was comfortable with the procedure and any changes that may occur during the surgery. All my questions were responded to quickly - the whatsapp interaction was great. I felt that I was in a safe pair of hands. At no point was I worried that he was not the right person to make be better.

Mr Yip was excellent throughout the process. He took time to explain and share reports and scans with me, and his overall manner was very reassuring. On the day of the op, everything went very smoothly and recovery went very well. It was great to be seen so quickly and efficiently.
