biography
Dr Mike Y.Y. Leung graduated BDS from the University of Hong Kong in 2004 and started his training in oral and maxillofacial surgery in Hong Kong after graduation. He obtained MDS (OMFS) and MOS RCS Edinburgh in 2008. He also received maxillofacial traumatology training for 6 months in Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead, UK in 2009. He became a specialist after obtaining FCDSHK (OMS) and FHKAM(DS) in 2012. He is currently working as Clinical Assistant Professor of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in the Faculty of Dentistry, The University of Hong Kong. Dr. Leung’s clinical interests are orthognathic surgery and maxillofacial trauma, and he also published multiple papers in international journals on third molars surgery and trigeminal nerve injury and repair. He is a regular invited speaker on oral and maxillofacial surgery and orthognathic surgery regionally and internationally.
