Specialties & Areas of Interest: - Total Joint Replacement - Sports Medicine - Foot & Ankle Treatment Philosophy: Dr. Wong strongly believes that patients should take control of their own recovery. From decision-making to participation in post-operative rehabilitation, active involvement of the patient is essential. Dr. Wong and his team will provide guidance and communicate with patient to ensure an informed decision is made about his/her treatment plan. With the advancement of modern anaesthesia and surgical techniques, the landscape of total joint replacement recovery has changed, dramatically. At Michael Garron Hospital, we have developed a "rapid recovery & same day discharge" total joint replacement program. Our belief is that patients should be encouraged and empowered to return home, as soon as possible. We found this protocol dramatically improves, both, patient satisfaction and patient outcomes. Most of Dr. Wong’s patients are discharged home the next day after surgery. Discharge home on the same day of surgery is possible for a highly selected subgroup of patients. Our philosophy is rapid and enhanced recovery for total joint replacement patients. Whether it is soft tissue injury of the knee from playing tennis, or patients with end-stage osteoarthritis, Dr. Wong will provide patients with a full spectrum of surgical and non-surgical treatment options to restore mobility and quality of life. With more than two decades of clinical experience, Dr. Wong can customize your treatment from minimally-invasive arthroscopic surgery to total joint replacement.
