From my very first consultation to the post-operation follow-up, the experience has been outstanding and excellent. Dr Marcus Ling is a top notch surgeon who provided a clear and comprehensive explanation of my condition and the procedure, so I was fully informed and reassured at every step. He is exceptionally caring and thoughtful about his patients’ well being throughout and that genuine concern is truly commendable. I am also grateful to his nurses, who were supportive, efficient, most polite and professional.

I first saw Dr Marcus Ling for sciatic nerve pain on my left leg. It was impacting my daily life as I could not sit or walk for long without feeling pain in my left leg. Dr Marcus first went through my MRI and X-ray scans to determine the cause of the pain. After confirming that it was due to a compressed nerve, he went through the various treatment options with me. He was clear in explaining the pros and cons of each option, as well as the risks involved. I opted for radiofrequency ablation procedure. I recovered well after the procedure and 1 week post procedure, the pain is largely gone. I am very thankful to Dr Marcus for his care throughout the process. It is such a relief to be pain-free again, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone experiencing similar issues.

Extremely grateful to Dr. Marcus Ling for the excellent care he provided throughout my spine surgery journey. I underwent L4/L5 decompression, instrumentation and fusion, and from the first consultation to my post-operative follow-ups, Dr. Ling was professional, patient, and reassuring. He took the time to explain my MRI findings, the surgical options, the risks and benefits, and answered all of my questions thoroughly, which gave me confidence in proceeding with the operation. The surgery was successful, and my recovery has been progressing well. Throughout my follow-up visits, Dr. Ling has been attentive, caring, and meticulous in monitoring my healing. He never made me feel rushed and always listened carefully to my concerns, offering practical advice and reassurance. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a skilled and caring spine surgeon.

Had my cervical spine disc replacement surgery with Dr. Marcus Ling. Very confident doctor with Impressive surgical skills. Surgery is spot on with an impressive team ( seen them very briefly in OT just before I got knocked off but can really feel their synergy) and recovery is rather fast too. 2 weeks post surgery, feeling great. Long way to go but I already look forward to my next long distance hut to hut trek. ☺️ Thanks doctor and his team, nurses and admin included, for the job well done. Highly recommended.

I had a good and positive experience with Dr. Marcus Ling for my treatment. I was diagnosed with a slipped disc and had to undergo a microdisectomy. He explained the surgery required and provided the necessary information for me to make the decision. I'm grateful that the surgery was successful and relieved of the sciatica pain.
