HC Surgical: None of Julian Ong's patients switched doctors after learning of complaint

Singapore

NONE of Julian Ong's patients have decided to consult with another doctor after being informed by him of the matters alluded to in a Singapore Medical Council (SMC) complaint, HC Surgical Specialists (HCSS) said in an announcement late Monday night.

A woman had lodged the complaint in June 2018 against the surgeon, whose endoscopy clinic is 70 per cent owned by HCSS, claiming that Dr Ong and another specialist - who is not part of the HCSS group - had colluded to have sex with "vulnerable" female patients.
