Bernard Ong's Online Review Report Card

I had been putting off my knee replacement for over 2 years now.I finally had no choice and went ahead and did it on October 25. Dr Ong did a fantastic job!!! I thought the pain was going to be awful. I truly am amazed how well it came out and how the pain was nothing like I thought it would be.I didn't have much swelling and not much bruising either. He made me feel safe and secure the day of surgery as he knew I was so scared!If I ever need any other operations he will be the man to call.The staff is fantastic too! They always answer their phones and do a great job!Thank you Dr Ong for my new knee replacement.

First, he injected wrong knee on my husband. He was very rushed and did not explain that the knee injection is a 3 or 5 protocol. So, my husband did not complete the protocol because he was not aware.

Had Dr. Ong perform 6 months of check-ups for a shoulder injury I received at work. 6 months that consisted of 1 visit a month that lasted maybe 3 minutes tops. "How do you feel? Can you move your arm? Go to therapy, see you next month". Every time I made sure it was known I was in pain. He decides to do surgery in July of 2021. Immediately I'm noticing that the skin around the front incision is very ...

Had shoulder surgery July 2021, immediately following surgery developed a sensitivity around one of the incisions... My post surged visit lasted 3 minutes, my concern over the sensitivity was brushed off. Therapist agrees something is wrong, can see an immediate reaction on the skin from simple contact (feels like thousands of tiny needles just stabbing the skin with something like a breeze blowing in it, god forbid clothes making contact). Every visit I raised the same concern, every visit lasted 3 minutes to 5 minutes max (wait time was typically at least 30+ minutes). To appease me he suggested a consultation with a neurologist (therapists believe it was alodynia) but when the neurologist gave his opinion, Dr Ong blew it off and said I was good to be rated (now workers comp will not allow anything the neurologist suggested). And just like that, I can't even have my newborn daughter touch my shoulder as it's a world of pain, not just a wince but in some cases causes me to kneel! A shower is an exercise in pain management as water droplets feel like hot needles.

Dr Ong took care of my torn meniscus and I'm good as new! I have no more pain, I've healed nicely and I'm even back to working out and doing squats after 8 weeks.

"My experience with Dr. Ong was the worst medical experience I have ever had in my adult life. I was referred to Dr. Ong for a 6 series of Synvisc injections, one in each knee over a three week period. Dr. Ong's patient bedside manner is nonexistent. Sadly, his arrogance is greater than his intellect. He did not know my name and referred to me as "Buddy." He was totally disinterested in me and my knee problems. He spent a maximum of three minutes with me each visit. His nurse practitioner does all the preparation including have me roll up my pants. I have had knee injections for years with a renowned Bay Area orthopedic surgeon, Joshua Hatch. I never had to ask for the injection area to be numbed. Much to my shock Dr. Ong did not offer any numbing freeze. Long needles are used and I believe is the norm. I endured the three sessions without him offering me any numbing anesthetic prior to each injection. This doctor has absolutely no empathy nor cares about his patients. Avoid!

Well, my wife had seen doctor Ong, and she was pretty happy. With that I decided to see him for my knee. He worked on it but, in about almost 6 weeks after, I was having pain in the same knee. I called the office, and the person I spoke to said it was too far out from when he did the surgery and that I would have to come back in and start a new claim. I asked what the cut off time to say I'm still having pain after surgery. She said, and I quote, "about 30 days". I said so I have to start with all new copays and deductables, she said yes. So would I go back? No! Would I recommend doctor Ong? Probably not, but my wife was happy, me not so much. If you are still having pain after surgery, remember, you have "about 30 days", to let them know. I broke my hip, and as that doctor and I started talking, I told him about my knee and doctor Ong. He thought it was pretty crappy that they wanted me to start from the beginning rather than just see what was up with the knee. Good luck everyone.

Still In Pain!!!Here We Are July 2, 2021 two and a half months later, Dr. Bernie Ong's Folly Continues! I am still in crippling pain at this date, thanks to Las Vegas', brought to you by NYU Med School and the University of Pittsburgh Center For Sports Medicine, our own reincarnation, of Doctor Joseph Mengele, Dr. Bernie Ong!!!!This "whiz kid" has the bedside manner and compassion of the grey rock that sits my yard, should have his license yanked. I would never have this purported "magnificent" surgeon touch me again in my life!! I would gladly prefer to go the my cats' veterinarian, Dr. Dave Mason, at Las Vegas Verterinrary Specialty Center.Bernie is overworked and understaffed. Please let your nurse practitioner handle the entire patient interaction, STAY IN THE OPERATING ROOM!!! STAY AWAY from all office patients you idiot.!!!!
