Our specialist will use efficient methods to safely treat your concern and restore your health. When the treatment is complete, you will notice a significant improvement in your symptoms!

Umbilical HerniaChronic heavy cough, lifting heavy objects, and other movements or activities that cause straining and applying pressure in the abdominal area can cause a loop of the intestine to push through the abdominal muscle wall present around the navel.

Patient Reviews

I am very pleased with the care I received as a patient of Dr. Ngo. He and his staff are courteous, professional, efficient, and friendly. During office visits pre-op, post-op, and follow up visits, Dr. Ngo and his team put me at ease and always had time to explain things and answer any questions. He and his staff were available by phone for questions or concerns after surgery while I was recovering at home. I am healing on schedule and have had successful results with no complications. Dr. Ngo was very knowledgeable about his field of medicine. This knowledge along with his years of experience, expertise, professionalism, and care to treat me as a person and not just a patient gave me confidence that he was the right surgeon for my procedure.

Stephanie Brooks

Dr Ngo performed a triple hernia repair on me, and it went just as he had explained. Bi-lateral inguinal and umbilical hernias. Dr Ngo called me himself the next day to check on me. I had his personal cell phone number and he told me to call him if I had any questions or concerns. This gave me great comfort knowing that he was available for me if I needed him. Great doctor!
I highly recommend Dr Ngo!

Daniel McCrory

Dr Ngo is amazing. He performed a triple hernia surgery on me, and his knowledge and treatment with me has made the whole process as stress free as possible. He has personally been checking up on me to see how I am recovering and I have already referred him to a friend. I highly recommend him.

Brian Barbero Jr.

Dr. Ngo called me directly when he received the referral from my Doctor to discuss my options. I met with him for the initial consultation and had the hernia surgery a couple of weeks later. Dr. Ngo was great to work with and completed my tripple hernia surgery and did a fantastic job! Completed my followup appointment 2 weeks later and je said everything is perfect. Thanks to Dr. Ngo and his team and all at the surgery center. A great experience!

Alvin Arnett

Dr. Ngo is incredibly knowledgeable, kind and compassionate. I called to schedule an appointment regarding concerns about a recent hernia surgery I had elsewhere. He actually called and discussed the surgery report with me. I was immediately comforted. If I have any future concerns or need additional surgeries, it will be with Dr. Ngo.

We are pleased and thankful with Dr. Ngo. He did my hernia surgery in April and also performed another surgery for my wife. We both had a great experience. Dr. Ngo takes the time to explain you everything related to the surgery and post surgery. I will recommend Dr. Ngo for your surgery needs.

I had the pleasure to work with Dr. Ngo at Heights Hospital in Houston in April 2023. I found Dr. Ngo to not only be extremely professional but also a notch above the rest in terms of surgical skill and efficiency. Looking forward to collaborating more with him in the future.
