This was one of the best experiences I've had at a doctor. Everything was explained incredibly well from beginning to end. I was given several treatment options based on comfort level, I was listened to very well and felt incredibly understood by all staff members.

Dr Ooi is so caring and compassionate for me when we meet. He listens to my concerns and explains the cause or possibilities to why something may have happened during and after my previous procedure. I am so thankful I have Dr Ooi for my neurosurgeon.

In my opinion I felt that the consultation was a bit rushed, maybe he was headed to a surgery or just coming back from one. But as a pt I'm glad that I like to do my own due diligence and follow up with a vascular Dr as well and go from there. Would I recommend him...maybe.
