Dr. Ascension Heart Centre

Dr Brian's wholehearted commitment to optimising his patients' well-being is evident through his meticulous assessment of patients' symptoms and selection of appropriate investigative tests for accurate diagnoses and timely interventions. My 71 year old mother had been seeing another cardiologist for many years, and despite regular check-ups, her heart valve regurgitation issue remained undetected until it progressed to the last stage of 'symptomatic severe'. We decided to consult another cardiologist and it was truly a godsend that we were recommended by my mum's GP to see Dr Brian Khoo, who promptly discovered the severity of her valve disease in the nick of time. My mum's health deteriorated very quickly, but Dr Khoo managed to stabilise her condition (through appropriate in-patient medication), so that she was well enough to undergo a heart valve replacement surgery with relatively low risk. Dr Khoo recommended an excellent cardiothoracic surgeon, Dr Kang Ning, for my mum's operation, which turned out to be a great success in solving her heart valve problem. With top-notch care from these two remarkable doctors, my mum recovered well enough to resume driving 5 weeks after her open heart surgery. Dr Brian's tireless dedication to safeguarding his patients' health also shines through in his attentive monitoring of my mum's post-op condition and careful adjustments of her medications. He is always reassuring, encouraging and patient in his explanations. We are immensely thankful for Dr Brian. His exceptional professionalism and kindness are truly first-class. We highly recommend him to anyone in need of a heart specialist!

The staff are very helpful and friendly, providing personable assistance and creating a very positive atmosphere each visit. Dr Brian also does his best to accommodate my preferences and schedules, giving needed advice each vieit.

Dr Khoo is a warm and caring doctor that's supported by fantastic staff whose second to none. Well done!!!

I am a patient of Dr Brian for more than 9 months and I can say that Dr Brian is patient, knowledgeable, explains the reasons for any treatment. I have not experience any hard selling on any treatment or procedure by Dr Brian or staff since day 1. The staff are also friendly and helpful, making the patient feeling at ease. The prices quoted are reasonable for private specialist.

everything is top notch... from the making of appointment, the reminders sent, to the day of visit, and the attentiveness from everyone. Not to mention Dr.Brian with his superb memory to know the progress of our conditions without referring to past records. Totally open and frank, and never once push for certain procedures just because they are "covered" by insurance...

Dr Brian Khoo is knowledgeable, proficient & objective. He explains the reasons for his treatment option. He allows & sets aside time for me (the patient) to ask for clarification during the review sessions. He updates himself with on-going research and hence keeps himself current. I am comfortably confident to continue treatment under Dr Brian Khoo.

Everyone looks for a Doctor who is genuine, patient, experienced, honest and can diagnose you via the least invasive route. That's my experience with Dr. Brian. What's more, he patiently answered every question I asked him without any irritation. Totally unassuming and upfront. He also has excellent staff assisting him namely Hugo and Patricia. They are very kind understanding and professional people. 10 Stars for sure but allowed to give maximum 5 only.

Brian is the consummate professional, definitely at the top of his game, and you truly feel he cares about what is in your best interests , he weighs up the risk and benefit at every stage and clearly lays those out, this enables you to feel real participation in the process to recovery.
