About
Dr. Ng Khai Oon practises as an Orthopaedic Surgeon at Island Hospital, where his work centres on joint reconstruction, particularly procedures involving the hip and knee. His career in medicine spans more than 25 years, and his training has taken him across the world: he earned his MBBS from the University of Melbourne in Australia, then went on to complete a Fellowship in Hip and Knee Surgery in Sydney, Australia, where he developed further skill in Western surgical approaches. Dr. Ng handles a broad spectrum of orthopaedic operations, among them total hip and knee replacements, revision surgery for implants that have previously failed, and advanced trauma surgery for complex fractures. He is especially recognised for his command of minimally invasive surgical techniques, which frequently help patients recover sooner.

Patient reviews
I underwent a right knee TKR surgery with Dr. Ng Khai Oon and was admitted to Ward 8 at Island Hospital in January 2026. I received excellent care from Nurse Salina and the other nurses on that ward. From the moment we entered the inpatient ward, Nurse Salina and her colleague (I forget her name) welcomed us very warmly, cordially, and pleasantly. Her cheerful and attentive demeanor made me feel more at ease during my treatment. Nurse Salina was not only kind and attentive to me as a patient but also to my child who accompanied me as a caregiver. The other nurses in my room were also very patient, caring, and responsive whenever I needed assistance. When I returned to Island Hospital for my left knee TKR surgery in April 2026, Nurse Salina still made time to visit me. We continue to maintain excellent communication to this day. Praise be to God, both my knees have now recovered, and I can walk again. Thank you to Dr. Ng, all the nurses, and the entire team at Island Hospital for your attention and service. Your kindness will always be remembered and means a great deal to our family.

I had a very disappointing experience with Dr. Ng Khai Oon. He was condescending and showed little interest in my actual condition. Most concerningly, he refused to assist with the necessary insurance paperwork for my admission unless I made an immediate payment for the outpatient visit first. I have never encountered a specialist with such a transactional approach to patient care. It was clear his priority was not the patient’s well-being. I ended up paying and leaving immediately to seek much better care at Loh Guan Lye.

Sad to hear that Missy Rani, Dr. Ng Khai Oon's staff from room 19, have to leave Island Hospital in May. I know Missy Rani as a staff with excellent work and services. I will miss you, Missy Rani.

I have been a patient of Island Hospital for many years and consulted few doctors. On April 24th this year I was admitted with a very serious infection on my leg for 3 weeks under the care of Dr. Ng Khai Oon. I met Miss Rani at Dr. Ng’s clinic, Room 19. She always has her sweet smile, patiently explaining to patients on appointments, payments etc. Sadly, I found out that she is leaving her service with Island hospital. I feel very sad, even though I only know her for a month. I think this is something the management should look into seriously when a staff with good review is leaving. I give a five star rating to Miss Rani. I am Hong Ley Choo, patient of Room 711 under Dr. Ng Khai Oon’s Care.
