​Dr Chong graduated from the University of Sydney with MBBS (First class honours).  He did his general surgery training at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore and Tufts New England Medical Center, Boston. Upon being awarded the John Homan’s fellowship, he pursued his subspecialty training in vascular and endovascular surgery at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School. He is double boarded by the American Board of Surgery in general surgery and vascular surgery.

He was then recruited to Brown Alpert School of Medicine to develop their vascular and endovascular surgery program at The Miriam and Rhode Island Hospitals. After four successful years of practice, he has relocated to Singapore with his family to be at SGH. His clinical interests are in all aspects of vascular and endovascular surgery including carotid artery surgery and stenting, aortic aneurysm repair (open and minimally invasive), lower extremity revascularization, and varicose vein treatments.

Regionally, Dr Chong serves as an expert proctor for complex aortic and lower limb revascularization surgery. He is also sought after as an invited speaker and key opinion leader in vascular surgical interventions.

He also strongly believes in medical education of the next generation of doctors and is on faculty at Duke-NUS and Singhealth surgery residency. He is currently Vice Chair (Undergraduate Education) at Surgery Academic Clinical Programme and clerkship coordinator at Duke-NUS Medical School.
