He trained in New Zealand after his nous for surgery was recognised in his first year working as a doctor. He was accepted into specialist training as soon as eligible as a second year house officer, and completed training in General Surgery in 2014 having worked at a variety of provincial and tertiary hospitals including Whangarei, Invercargill, Palmerston North and Auckland City Hospital. During his training, he was awarded a John McCall Medal for the Best Registrar, and a Lorenzo Capussotti Travelling Fellowship from IASGO to present cancer research in Vienna.

In 2015, he completed further sub-specialist training in oesophagogastric and bariatric surgery at Auckland City Hospital where he was also the Chief Surgical Resident. He was part of a committee to develop a Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis risk stratification and management tool.

In 2016 he moved to Australia where he was the inaugural fellow at Redcliffe Hospital, where he performed over 500 procedures in half a year, completely clearing the surgical waiting list at one stage down to just one-week. He was appointed as a Staff Specialist at Redcliffe Hospital in December 2016.

Dr Wong is well-known for his friendly and caring nature, holistic all-round care and ability to explain complicated things in easy to understand words.

He is a surgical educator, thinker and innovator, and has pioneered several surgical techniques including:

• Mini-laparoscopic two-port cholecystectomy
• World-first laparoscopic repair of paraduodenal hernia using BioA hiatal reinforcement.
• A technique using endoscopic pilonidal sinus surgery to definitively manage pilonidal abscess without the need for packing.

Dr Wong is the Supervisor of Surgical Training at Redcliffe Hospital and sits on the Queensland Committee for General Surgery Training of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. He is involved in the training of the next generation of surgeons to come, mentoring of those aspiring to pursue a career in surgery, as well as research in general and bariatric surgery.

In his spare time (if he gets some!) he enjoys spending time with his family, 2 Pekingese dogs and exploring the diverse restaurant scene that Brisbane has to offer.
