He also performs upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy (gastroscopy and colonoscopy) and is a certified endoscopist with the Gastroenterological Society of Australia (GESA).
A Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, Dr Ho completed his MBBS at Deakin University and a Bachelor of Biomedical Science at the University of Melbourne. He also undertook a Postgraduate Diploma of Surgical Science at the University of Edinburgh and a Graduate Diploma in Surgical Anatomy at the University of Melbourne.

Dr Ho is actively involved in research, surgical education, mentoring, and the training of junior doctors and surgical registrars.
He is committed to continually improving his practice and regularly travels for further training. This includes time spent at the internationally renowned IRCAD Training Centre in Taiwan, the Shouldice Clinic in Toronto (world-renowned for non-mesh repair of groin hernias), as well as training within Australia alongside leading hernia specialists from Australia and abroad.
Outside of work, Simon enjoys watching his beloved Richmond Tigers, working on his tennis game, snowboarding, travelling, and perfecting his next culinary creation.
