POST-SURGICAL CARE AND SAME DAY DISCHARGE
Another area that Dr Wong addresses is post-surgical after care. On the day of surgery, after the operation, most if not all, of his patients are able to return home where they can recover in the comfort of their own beds. For this to happen, Dr Wong adopts techniques and equipment so that the patient can be discharged on the same day.
All of his patients can also reach him via instant messaging. As a doctor, he believes his duty is not just in treating conditions at a given point in time, but also in ensuring continuity of care and looking after the patient’s whole being.
This underscores his centre’s motto of care: “Your child first.”
