Dr. Pouw Tiong-Oen, MD is an excellent physician and general surgery specialist. He has about 35…read moreyears of experience being a doctor. I have met with him a couple times, and I have taken my mother to him for exams. He is very personable, talkative, and has a great bed side manner. If he thinks you do not need a certain medical procedure, then he will not recommend it for you.
He asks several questions during his exams and answers anything you ask him. He is well educated and professional. He is affiliated with Indiana University Health Saxony Hospital, Major Hospital, Shelbyville, and Rush Memorial Hospital, Rushville, and his own office, Advanced Surgical Associates, for appointments, exams, and surgeries. His office accepts many forms of insurance.
Some of his specialties that he commonly treats are: Hemorrhoids, Abdominal Hernia, Appendicitis, Breast Disorders, Cholelethiasis or Cholecystitis, Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage, Inguinal Hernia, Malignant Neoplasm of Colon, Malignant Neoplasm of Female Breast, Melanoma, Rectal, Abdomen, Small Intestines, or Colon Cancer, Skin Cancer, Ventral Hernia, Colonoscopy, Laparoscopic Appendectomy, Laparoscopic Gallbladder Removal, Mastectomy, Proctosigmoidoscopy, Sigmoidoscopy, Thoracoscopy, Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, and many others.
If you need any of these procedures, I highly recommend your main doctor give you a referral to Dr Pouw. You will be in good hands with him.
