My triple hernia repairs went exactly as planned. Dr Ngo explained how he wanted to proceed, his office and the hospital contacted me about all the details and sent text reminders as needed. Dr Ngo called me the day after surgery to check on me. Three little three quarter inch incisions not a problem. Some Tylenol for discomfort on days 1 thru 3. Thanks Dr. Ngo, Mark and staff.

I went to Dr. Gno after 2 1/2 years of no one being able to help me with pain no one knew where it was coming from. From the beginning his assistant, Mark was great. Calling me when I needed something and very caring and friendly. They got me in quick. Middle of December. Dr. Gno was also very caring and professional. Come to find out i had 2 hernias near my belly button. Because of the pain I was experiencing, they wanted to get it done just as bad as I did. It was the holidays, but I had surgery on Christmas eve. With both the Dr and the clinic calling me on Christmas to check on me. Just had my follow up today and everything was good!! Healing up nicely. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Gno to anyone i know and strangers. They are very thorough, friendly and caring. I never felt rushed. I would give them 10 stars!!

I am currently 2 weeks post op from my hernia surgery and couldn’t be more pleased. Being my first surgery, I was unsure what to expect, but Dr. Ngo put my mind at ease by thoroughly explaining the procedure and recovery. He even gave me a follow-up call the next day to check on me and answer my questions. I am very pleased with the results and hope to be back to 100% very soon. Highly recommend Dr. Ngo.

I can’t say enough about Dr.Ngo and the entire staff at Texas Hernia & Surgical Specialist. I came to see Dr.Ngo for a second opinion and discovered that I actually had 3 hernias instead of 1 that a previous Dr. had diagnosed. Dr.Ngo repaired all 3 hernias that I had laparoscopically. In my opinion, I feel like the laparoscopic repair was a major factor in my successful surgery and contributed to a lessened recovery time for me personally. I would highly recommend Dr.Ngo and would suggest to anyone experiencing hernia issues to call Texas Hernia & Surgical Specialist. The entire process for my surgery from pre-op to post-op was A+ with Dr. Ngo.

Dr. Gno is an awesome physician. He has a great bedside manner. Probably the best I have ever experienced. He takes the time to explain and follow up on concerns or potential concerns. He will exceed your expectation of a 5Star doctor. His staff including the surgical team were wonderful.

- Sydney Schultz

This is the second time I’ve used Dr Ngo in 20 years; both times were flawless. He actually sat down in his office and explained everything in great detail and was able to schedule surgery based on my schedule. He called me after surgery to check on me (I didn’t even know that existed) and he returned my calls when I had questions post-op. He is a phenomenal doctor and is an excellent surgeon.

- Craig Massey

Dr. Ngo is a smart, thoughtful, and caring doctor. He has lots of experience doing hernia repairs. Dr. Ngo and his surgery team help fix my dad’s hernia, which was very large. Dr. Ngo also called my dad to see how he was doing after surgery.

 

Mark works for Dr. Ngo. He is thoughtful and is great at following through. He helped make the process leading to surgery and after surgery smooth.

 

I highly recommend Dr. Ngo and his team. My family and I are so grateful for them.

This man is an amazing man and surgeon! He helped my husband with his gallbladder and hernia and checked on him directly. His bedside manner and communication skills are top tier! I 1000% recommend Dr. Ngo for your surgical needs!

I had hernia surgery with Dr. Rick Ngo and his team, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the first consultation to post-op follow-up, everything was professional, clear, and reassuring. Dr. Rick Ngo and Mr. Mark explained the procedure in detail and answered all my questions without rushing me. The surgical team was attentive, caring, and made me feel comfortable the entire time. Recovery has gone smoothly and the results are exactly what I hoped for. Just after 10 days, no more pain and I’m back to normal activity much faster than I expected. I’m fully satisfied and would recommend Dr. Rick Ngo and his team to anyone needing hernia surgery.

My experience with Dr Ngo, his team, and his chosen surgical center was exceptional. He makes you very comfortable and helped me understand all my options before choosing surgery. The procedure itself was uneventful. He called me personally from his cell phone several times following the surgery to check on me and my progress and to answer any questions. I would strongly recommend Dr. Ngo for anyone needing hernia procedures.

- Keith Carpenter

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.

Dr. Ngo is very helpful! Dr. Ngo understood my medical issue and went over all procedures and alleviated a lot of my fears. Definitely would recommend Dr. Ngo to others who are needing his services.

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.

I wanted to take a little time to thank you and your staff plus assistants for your professionalism during my recent mammogram scare. I’m singing your praises to everyone and thanking God daily for the wonderful test results.

You have been blessed with your amazing medical talents and the kindness and patience you gave to me during the most frightening experience of my life I shall never forget. Elena assured me I was in good hands but I’ve corrected her and explained GREAT hands.

- Candy

Just a short note to express how appreciative the family is for your efforts taking care of Pat. In my 62 years I have NEVER met a doctor who is so kind and instills so much confidence in the patient and the family.

- George

How can I ever thank you for what you did for me. I know that God sent you to me to save my life! You are such a gifted doctor, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to find out what was wrong and fixing it! You did what no doctor in Lubbock could do! I’m in chemo and my last CEA count was 3.2!!

Rick, you will always hold a special place in my heart! I felt so alone and scared until you entered the room. Thank you for being so kind and compassionate, you are truly a skilled and gifted doctor and I will always keep you in my prayers so that you will continue to help others as you helped me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Dr. Rick Ngo is a renowned hernia repair surgeon who is considered one of the best in the country. As a medical device rep specializing in hernia repair products, I have had the opportunity to observe many surgeons performing hernia repairs. Dr. Ngo is the most skilled and safest surgeon that I have had the privilege to observe in the operating room. His advanced technique results in very low and tolerable post-op pain and yields extremely low recurrence rates.

Dr. Ngo is my top recommendation to family and friends that are in need of hernia surgery. The Houston community is fortunate indeed to have the benefit of Dr. Ngo’s experience and expertise.
