Thomas Ho Surgery (Alvernia) - 820 Thomson Road Mt Alvernia Hospital Medical Centre D

I underwent a successful surgery performed by Dr Thomas Ho. Post op follow-up and pain management was more than adequate and was highly professionally conducted. Minimal surgery scarring is an attestation to his skills. Dr Thomas Ho also has excellent bedside manners and has the persona to interact at a personal level, able to explain clearly and succinctly both pre- and post op. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.

One of the toughest emotional challenge in life, is to watch your love one struggle when she discovers she has a potentially fatal illness and then deciding what to do with it. This was the case with my fiancée and each day as we discussed, I could see the fear and confusion bearing down on her. I wish I could bear that fear for her and take part of that struggle away. Even though I tried to be as positive as I could, in her presence, away from her, I too was struggling emotionally. It did not help even when we had consulted several 'specialist', as they were keenly only indulging in discourses about test and procedures and completely missed the fact that this was a patient that had never ever stayed a day in hospital much less have an important organ removed from her. But it is always in the darkest of night that you will find the brightest star and it came in a random chance of being recommended to Dr. Thomas Ho. He is no doubt a true professional in his craft but more than that, a physician of the body and soul. From the first meeting till the surgery, the meticulous care, advice, and loaded with tons of empathy, he took my fiancée through this difficult journey and made it easy and comfortable for her. Words cannot expressed the gratitude I feel from the perspective of the other' patient who may not be ill but equally feel the fear and pain. You removed that away from me too and brought back the joy of seeing her recover to once again argue with me. "She is back!' Thank you Dr. Ho, Shan and Mel!!

Dr. Thomas was on the panel for both my personal and company insurance. I didn’t know much about parathyroid conditions before my surgery with him but he gave a thorough and detailed explanation which helped to put me at ease. Both he and his staff truly enjoy their work and care about the patient experience. Can see that they are happy making a difference, which makes it enjoyable to come see the doctor even though the thought of having an operation is really quite scary. This is one of the few businesses in Singapore where I would rate as 6 out of 5 stars if I could. Maybe one area of improvement for the future would be tele-consultations where possible. Apps like WhiteCoat have now made it possible for patients to see the doctor virtually without the need for physical travel anymore, but this suggestion applies to the healthcare industry as a whole, not just THS.

My wife underwent a successful surgery performed by Dr Thomas. It was a major one with few other doctors standby. Things went smoothly and professionally. It took my wife couple of days to recover and discharged from the hospital. Dr. Thomas was the one went through with us from the beginning till the end with many things going on as my wife case was considered to be rare. As a husband, I felt deeply appreciated for the professionalism, the patience and the care Dr. Thomas had shown and spent with us. Due to Covid, I wasn't allowed to be in the operation room, but Dr. Thomas called and updated me what's going on and pacified me when needed. Post operation, my wife told me that Dr. Thomas after having his second Vaccine dose and didnt look obviously well, but still passed by the hospital and checked on her recovery progress. She appreciated that. He also was transparent with us with the laboratory results and prepared us well enough during the early phase of the journey... it horrified us to be honest but looking back, it was the right call so that we were prepared. (fortunately, our case turned out to be much more positive than we could imagined) Post discharge, whenever my wife had any questions, he always spent adequate time to explain or asked us to over. Of course, we also can't forget his staff. They were all excellent. Very caring. I remembered they passed my wife box of tissue when she (or we?) burst into happy tear at the end. This is an over-due review but our feeling and our appreciation is still afresh.

I had a Thyroidectomy on 15 Feb 22 with Dr Thomas Ho Surgery in MAH. Some background to it, i chanced unto Dr Ho accidentally by a stranger, i thus read the review and decided to see him the next day. i was referred to another specialist earlier but the earlier surgeon was not confident to perform my surgery and wanted to opt to be a surgeon assistant to it. Anyone hearing it will not have confidence and that explains why i wanted to seek for a 2nd opinion on my condition. I have graves + nodules on my thyroid and the only way to recovery is TT. I went the next day to visit Dr Ho, he is very comprehensive and patient in hearing me and explaining to me. i am a very decisive person and that very moment i booked my date for the operation as he gave me a peace within that he will do a great job. On 15th Feb i did my operation at 830am and as mentioned earlier it's a complex operation and thus it took an hr more than the initial 3 hrs that were forecasted. It was rough on 1st 2 days and i was a bit agitated, however Dr Ho is still very patient and came late at night to see if i am doing well. To me, most surgeons are really cold after the operation, however he displayed a different aura altogether, i can see that he has the care and passion to ensure that his patient is on the road to recovery. Thus i am thankful. The nurses over at his clinic are extremely professional. 1 is extremely friendly and precise in explaining the insurance details, the other is super gentle and guiding me on the medications. I highly recommend Dr Ho if u have a similar condition like me. To me, the most impt is the surgeon and not the hospital, SG, being so advance, any hospital will have the necessary equipment to assist the surgeon but the skillsets are only relevant to the doc themselves.

I had a inflamed epidermal cyst on my right hip and the pain was 9/10. Doctor Thomas Ho immediatley arranged for a surgery to be performed, the surgical operation performed by Doctor Thomas Ho and team was superb as i did not feel any pain or irritation on my wound even after the anesthesia wear off till the day when my stitches was removed. On a side note Thomas is a very professional and caring surgeon to be checking on his patient whenever he has the time and explaining in details on every question asked he even provided his contact details to be reached if required. Kudos to Doctor Thomas Ho & Team for the care & professionalism displayed!

I had a successful surgery performed by Dr Thomas Ho recently. All I can say is that, he is a very kind hearted doctor and he genuinely care for his patients. My post op follow-up and pain management was more than what I expected. All my visits to him doesn’t feel rushed at all. There was minimal scarring and the stitches I had would very well attest to his great skills as a surgeon. Dr Thomas Ho is also great on communicating with his patients at a personal level, he was able to answer all my questions and are able to explain everything to me clearly in regards to pre- and post op procedures, expectations etc. I would also like to commend Nurse Shan and Mel for always treating their patients beyond what is expected. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a surgeon!

hi, i would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Ho and team for an excellent service and care. though my medical insurance covered a 100% for public/govt. hospital, i still opted to search the best doctor based on google recommendation and reviews to make me feel at ease so I wanted to be under his care and no regrets! very kind, calm, professional and able to explain clearly. though nothing serious and everything is normal (thank God), i still want to send my heartfelt thanks for the immense care and comfort during the procedure. great doctors are a rare find so thank u!
