Dr Jason Wong

Dr Jason Wong is a skilled general surgeon with expertise in obesity and metabolic surgery, benign oesophagogastric, gallbladder, hernia, advanced and reduced-port laparoscopic surgery. He is also a certified endoscopist.

He trained in New Zealand after his nous for surgery was recognised in his first year working as a doctor, and he was immediately accepted into the competitive surgical training program the following year. He completed his training in 2014, during which he won awards for Best Registrar and a Lorenzo Cappussotti Travelling Fellowship to present cancer research at an international conference in Vienna.

In 2015, he completed further sub-specialist training in Oesophagogastric and Bariatric Surgery at Auckland City Hospital, before moving to Australia in 2016 where he was the inaugural fellow at Redcliffe Hospital.

Dr Wong is well-known for his easy-going, friendly and caring nature. He has a holistic approach to care and the ability to relate well to people by explaining complex concepts in a simple way. He is modern in his approach to medicine and surgery. He is a skilled and meticulous surgeon, paying attention to detail and achieving technical mastery; traits learnt from his school days as a top pianist for his age group.

He is a surgical thinker and innovator, and he has also pioneered several surgical techniques including:

• Two-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy

• World-first laparoscopic repair of paraduodenal hernia using BioA hiatal reinforcement.

• A technique using endoscopic pilonidal sinus surgery to definitively manage pilonidal abscess without the need for packing.
