| Seen Dr Ruben elsewhere to get my left labral tear fixed. Was back to benching in a couple if months. This time he is fixing my right shoulder and thank god only supraspinatus tear. Consultation, MRI, doagnosis all done in the same day.
Chill doc. Very thorough but won’t do anything unnecessary.
|
| I was quite skeptical about the recovery of my left shoulder due to an injury till I was referred to Dr Roland. “I always feel like I get plenty of time to explain my issues without feeling rushed”. Appreciate him taking his time & patience going through the overall diagnosis clearly and best treatment options.
It’s rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touch and care for a patient as a person with outstanding quality of medical care. Not forgetting all his wonderful staffs in the clinic. They are efficient, friendly & professional. A highly recommended clinic for everyone. Eddie Lee Y F

| I saw Dr. Brian Wang Dehao as I was having shoulder pain and limited range of motion. My GP insisted that it was inflammation and would go away even though this had been going on for months. On my first visit with Dr. Brian Wang Dehao he diagnosed me within 10 minutes and sent me for an MRI to confirm the diagnosis.
On my follow up the next week it was confirmed that I had quite a large tear as well as a cyst forming. Surgery was recommended as the cyst will not go away by itself. I was booked for day surgery the following Monday. Went in around 7 am and out by 1 pm. It was a successful and smooth operation. For anyone suffering from shoulder pain, go and see Dr. Brian Wang Dehao. He is professional, caring and highly knowledgeable. Another high mark is that he is very approachable and if you have any queries or concerns you can reach out to his team. Dr. Brian Wang Dehao also called me back to follow up on some questions I had in the evening, taking his time to ensure that his patients are taken care off. I can highly recommend Dr. Brian Wang Dehao and his team! You can rest assured that you will be well taken care off!
|
| I have found a solution for my ageing mother and growing daughter.
Dr Desmond Ong gave us very good advise on my mother joint pain and my daughter knee pain. I highly recommend this clinic.
|
| I saw Dr Ruben for a shoulder procedure.
Dr Ruben takes a professional and practical outlook to treatment.
|
| Today marks the one year anniversary of the multiple hamstring tendons re-attachment surgery performed by Dr Bernard Lee Chee Siang (assisted by another surgeon).
The tendons’ rupture deteriorated from early running injuries and I am delighted to be back running regularly and pain free. I am immensely grateful for Dr Lee’s skills and sense of pedagogy but also would like to thank his clinic’s staff who were incredibly friendly and responsive while coordinating all pre and post op services. Finally, I was impressed by how smoothly Dr Lee works with other doctors (MRI etc..) and physios (Aaron Smith @ physioActive who played a big role in my recovery).
|
| Consulted Dr Roland Chong for a labral tear in my shoulder. From what I had researched I was concerned that surgery would be indicated.
I was happy to hear that surgery wasn’t urgent, and Dr Roland advised on rehab, and how to best navigate my work which is very physical. It is clear that Dr Roland is focused and passionate about his work. |
| Efficient and friendly clinic. Doc was spot on with his assessment.
Definitely very easy to recommend.
|
| Dr Ruben Manohara, consultation, surgery and post operation care following clavicle fracture which required insertion and removal of hook plate. First class from start to finish.
|
| I cannot thank Dr Bernard Lee Chee Siang and staff at Gleneagles and Farrer Park clinics enough for helping me walk again. Tore my hamstring grade 3 complete avulsion at badminton. Sought 3 orthopedic opinions and Dr Lee was the clearest and most experienced for this surgery, so I went with him.
Now walking 100% and no issues post op. Dr Lee has excellent bedside manner and has patience to explain step by step the various options. Has good relationship as well with physiotherapist Aaron Smith from PhysioActive Novena – their good communication helped with my quick recovery. #hamstring #hamstringavulsion #proximalhamstringavulsion #orthopedic
|
| Doctor Roland Chong is professional and considerate in the treatment he prescribes.
He gets into the details of what you would personally like to achieve when treating the injury before giving options of various treatment together with explanation of the pros and cons about them clearly. Clinic staff are friendly and helpful too. |
| The service and personal care are of the utmost quality!
Highly recommended if you want to have peace of mind as your medical condition is being assessed and treated.
|
| I saw Dr Ruben Manohara about ongoing pain in my right shoulder.
Dr Manohara was very helpful and friendly, and ensures an exceedingly prompt service. I was very happy with my experience at the clinic.
|
| Went to visit Dr. Bernard Lee Chee Siang as I had been having terrible knee pain and was getting misleading diagnosis from a bunch of other places and physios. I am so glad I went to him as he at once diagnosed the real cause of pain and told me it’s Fat Pad impringement and not ACL tear .
It was very reassuring as he did not encourage unnecessary treatment and gave me solid drills and rehab to do to minimise pain . He also explained To source of the problem and helped me understand what really is triggering the symptoms . Highly recommend him for consultation 🙂
|
| Dr Roland and his team of nurses are highly recommended for their professionalism and patient orientation.
I felt informed, at ease, and extremely well taken care of, both physiologically and psychologically, through every aspect and throughout every stage of my treatment process from pre surgery consultations to post surgery recovery. Thank you Dr Roland and Team! Roy Chua. |
| Very professional and clear consultation advise by Dr. Ruben.
Best of all waiting time less that 5mins and price are reasonable. Will recommend this clinic for sure.
|
| Went to see Dr Bernard Lee Chee Siang for my husband’s shoulder separation or acromioclavicular joint dislocation. He has an excellent bedside manner and was incredibly patient in explaining everything to us.
He was very knowledgeable and was able to elaborate on the options for treatment in a clear manner. His reception staff are always fabulous, was able to WhatsApp with an instant response to set up an appointment, super convenient!
|
| Dr Roland is not only experience but very knowledgeable that gives me a sense of comfort that I’m in good hands.
The whole process is straight forward and fast. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a Specialist. |
| Thank you Dr Ruben for taking such good care of my son after he experienced a clavicle fracture, when the accident happened my son was in so much pain and you made yourself available to see him immediately and went above and beyond sourcing brace products for him to try.
Thank you for the care you showed to my son, he was immediately at ease thanks to your kind and considerate nature.
|
| I went to see Dr Bernard Lee Chee Siang regarding an ACJ dislocation (shoulder). He was very knowledgeable & transparent in explaining the issue and the possible solutions.
I have confidence in him and will recommend him.
|
| Dr Roland was assuring & professional throughout. Able to pinpoint the issues with my shoulders & provide relevant remedies. Surgery performed without a hitch. Recovery was monitored properly in a timely fashion.
Highly recommended for shoulder & elbow issues.
|
| Had a bankart repair surgery for recurring dislocation of my shoulder.
Great service and care.
|
| I’ve had multiple knee surgeries done by Dr Lee for different conditions. From pre-operative consults to the surgery and during my rehabilitation post-surgery, Dr Lee was caring and patient, going the extra mile to ensure my recovery went well by following up with thorough consultations and phone calls.
He is a personable doctor with excellent bedside manner. His staff at the clinic are also very friendly and helpful. Overall a wonderful and efficient team. Thank you!
|
| Dr Ronald Chong gave me a very good impression of a professional young doctor (although he is already in his 40s) who is full of positive energy and enthusiasm, and will go the extra mile to help patients to receive required analysis and treatment within the shortest time frame.
I suffered from Frozen Shoulder and was recommended by Dr Chong’s former teacher, Dr Tan Seang Beng, an Orthopaedic Surgeon who is well versed in Spinal surgery. During my first visit to Dr Chong, a MRI was needed but the Mount Elizabeth Imaging Lab was fully booked. In order to save me from making multiple trips, Dr Chong worked with his staff to find me a suitable Lab to have the MRI done within the same day. When the results were out, Dr Chong ran through the MRI images very clearly and explained in great detail to help me to understand my problem. Amongst the possible options of treatment, he did not suggest immediate surgery, but arranged for me to receive Physio Therapy from a clinic nearby my house for my convenience. It turned out to be the best option for me, as with the help of the Physio Therapist, Miss Lim Sui Ting from Physio & Sole Clinic. By the end of the 5th week (with 2 sessions per week), I am now able to perform daily activities like dressing, washing and blowing my hair, full side and back stretches, and upward stretch up to 168 degrees. Dr Chong was very pleased with my progress and suggested me to go for one more month of Physio Therapy (to be reduced to once a week), then continue with the exercises at home to work towards my full recovery. I like to thank you Dr Chong and the Physio Therapy team for me to achieve significant progress. I certainly will recommend people with Shoulder problem to seek treatment from this energetic “young” surgeon with a very pleasant and positive attitude who works closely with the Physio Therapy team to ensure good recovery of his patients.
|
| I was referred to Dr Ruben by my trusted physiotherapist and it was definitely the right decision. Dr Ruben was very balanced in his advice and was thorough and clear in explaining the options.
I eventually went for an anthroscopic shoulder rotator cuff repair surgery and was very well taken care of. It was all neatly and very efficiently done.
|
| Due to tendon tears on my left shoulder which impaired my ability to raise my arm, I opted for a surgery with Dr Roland Chong who had operated successfully on my right shoulder (tendon tear) eight years ago.
My shoulder has recovered significantly since the operation. I trust his skills and expertise and he is indeed a patient and professional surgeon. Highly recommend.
|
| Dr.Ruben did surgery on my elbow, recovered full range!! Excellent skill and nice front stuff
|
| I developed serious tingling pain from my lower back to my legs about a year ago. The injury resulted from doing heavy weight lifting. I could ride my bike but found difficulty walking and standing. Visited Dr Roland and he quickly diagnosed the cause to a degenerative disc issue. He was very patient and explain logically about the cause of the injury.
Referred me to do an MRI immediately to confirm his diagnosis. Lo and behold, the doctor was spot on L5/S1 degenerative disc disease, he prescribed medication and physiotherapy advice. I recovered several weeks thereafter. I am conscious of my weaknesses since then and have developed great emphasis and strength in those areas to prevent future occurrences. Thanks Dr Roland.
|
| Hi. I had a tennis elbow for quite a long time then my physio therapist recommended Doctor Ruben from Shoulder/Elbow Orthopaedic Clinic. I did a few appointments with him just to examine the range of my injury.
Through enough i decided to take the injection which helps me eased the pain and inflammation in my right arm. It really helps me day to day as my job requires a lot of repetitive movement. Doctor Ruben did a very good job of taking care of my injury.
|
| I had both my right (1 month ago) and left (3 years ago) shoulder surgery performed by Dr Roland Chong. Injuries to my rotator cuff due to sports injuries (rugby, football, squash & tennis). Both surgeries were amazing – I was mobile in 2 days without a sling and back to gym workouts in 6 weeks. Dr Roland is highly professional and shows genuine care.
He is an active athlete himself so he has a high level of empathy and understanding – always reassuring and most importantly he only advises surgery that is required. Highly recommended. Thanks Dr Roland for getting me back in action!
|
| We went to Dr Ruben for a second opinion regarding my mother’s shoulder problem. It was a right decision. Dr Ruben perform a reverse shoulder replacement for my mother (age 82).
She recovered well without any complication and was full of praise for Dr Ruben. The overall experience was a positive and a memorable one, due to Dr Ruben professionalism and care.
|
| I injured my shoulder during a cycling trip and was seen by fellow cyclist enthusiast Dr Roland Chong. This doctor is truly exceptional! From the moment I entered the doors to the clinic, I felt welcomed, cared for, and completely at ease. He explained everything to me in a very clear manner and shown true commitment to solve my issues.
It’s rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches with outstanding quality of medical care. The entire staff were beyond amazing– they were helpful, patient and helped with my insurance. I would have no qualms in recommending them to family and friends.
|
| When Dr Ruben Manohara told me I didn’t require surgery for the comminuted fracture of my scapula – sustained from a bicycle fall that also fractured eight of my ribs – my regard for him as an orthopaedic surgeon went up a few notches.
The old saw that a man with a hammer thinks every problem is a nail doesn’t apply to Dr Manohara. Instead, when I was discharged from ICU, he referred me to an excellent physiotherapist and monitored my progress with x-rays and physical examinations.
|
| Roland is a trusted colleague and also the surgeon whom I entrusted my dominant shoulder with. I underwent an arthroscopic glenoid labral repair earlier this year as the shoulder had been popping out at inconvenient time and circumstances.
There was minimal discomfort peri-operatively and I had one of the shortest down-time prior to return to work (operation on Friday afternoon, discharged from hospital on Saturday and back to work on the following Tuesday). Half a year later, my shoulder is almost as good as pre-injury and I was glad to have unbiased guidance by Roland which led to such awesome outcomes. Thank you, Roland!
|
| I had a tear in my elbow and I couldn’t do my daily activities, it got to a point where turning my doorknob to get out of the room hurts until a good friend of mine recommended the best of the best and a true professional in his field – Dr Ruben!
Thanks for taking care of me from start to finish, you been nothing but amazing. Time to smash the gym!!! Weeeeee!!!
|
| I saw Dr Ruben for extreme shoulder pain and an inability to lift my right arm beyond 90 degrees. I was afraid that surgery may be necessary but Dr Ruben treated the injury conservatively and I’m happy to say, I’ve had no recurrence.
Excellent bedside manner, follow up and not an orthopedic surgeon who resorts to surgery unnecessarily. Highly recommended!
|
| My experience with Dr Ruben has very positive. I first saw Dr Ruben in late January when I was suffering from sharp pain in my left shoulder. He explained clearly the possible causes and confirmed the cause after an MRI scan.
He then referred me to a physiotherapist Tan Yi Ren at Core Concepts. After just 2 months of twice weekly physio sessions, I have regained enough range of movement to go about my daily activities without pain. I highly recommend Dr Ruben and Mr Tan Yi Ren to anyone suffering from a frozen shoulder or shoulder pain.
|
| Dr Ruben treated me for my shoulder pain. He impressed me with his professionalism. He obviously knew his job and exuded confidence and assuredness as he explained my shoulder problem and proposed treatment options.
His EQ is fantastic. I have no hesitation in recommending patients to him.
|
| I met and was treated by Dr. Ruben at Sholder Elbow Clinic. He was attentive, spent plenty of time explaining my injury, and one of the most friendliest, knowledeable doctors I’ve met in Singapore.
He knows what he’s talking about and that’s a big relief. The team at the Clinic are super friendly as well. Would definitely recommend Dr. Ruben to friends.

| Dr Ruben treated me for my shoulder pain. He impressed me with his professionalism. He obviously knew his job and exuded confidence and assuredness as he explained my shoulder problem and proposed treatment options.
His EQ is fantastic. I have no hesitation in recommending patients to him.

| I met and was treated by Dr. Ruben at Sholder Elbow Clinic. He was attentive, spent plenty of time explaining my injury, and one of the most friendliest, knowledeable doctors I’ve met in Singapore.
He knows what he’s talking about and that’s a big relief. The team at the Clinic are super friendly as well. Would definitely recommend Dr. Ruben to friends.
