Thyroid conditions are common. We perform on-the-spot ultrasound evaluation with a fine-needle biopsy so that a diagnosis may be obtained within the same consultation. Treatment options include radiofrequency ablation (non-surgical) for benign nodules and minimally invasive (endoscopic or robotic) surgery.

May present as painful lumps around the anus or the passage of fresh blood during bowel movements.
A hernia is an abnormal outpouching that is felt around the front of the abdomen or groin region. Hernias can occur in both the young and the old. Timely surgery prevents progression of the hernia into a serious condition. Laparoscopic hernia repair is a minimally invasive form of surgery that allows the fastest recovery and return to normal functional activity.
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common yet preventable cancers in Singapore. A colonoscopy is advised if you are 50 or above, or if you experience symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, or blood in your stools.
Cancer of the colon or rectum is one of the top cancers in Singapore, affecting patients across the age spectrum. Early detection and surgery is the main aim of treatment. Regardless of your cancer stage, our experience and expert surgical skills ensures the best outcome for you.
Peritoneal cancer frequently originates from the digestive tract (stomach & large intestine) or gynaecological organs (ovaries & fallopian tube). Unfortunately, these cancers are often diagnosed at a late stage by the time the patient becomes symptomatic.
In medical parlance, these refer to a range of tumors arising from organs located below the brain to the level of the collar bone in the neck. Within this anatomical region, the majority of patients whom I treat tend to present with diseases arising from the face, nose, oral cavity, throat, salivary glands and neck structures such as the throat, thyroid, parathyroid and lymphatic tissue.
Neck lumps or masses are extremely common, and they have numerous possible causes. They may arise from the skin or from structures underneath. The tendency on finding a lump is to worry that it might be cancer. Thankfully, the vast majority of neck lumps are not cancerous, particularly in children and younger adults.
Thyroid nodules are common. It is estimated that up to 60% of our population may harbour thyroid nodules. The majority of nodules are not symptomatic and may never come to light. For patients who have been diagnosed with nodules, this may become a source of anxiety.
The gallbladder is an organ located under the liver. Bile that is produced by the liver is delivered via ducts into the small intestine where it acts to help digestion of fats. The gallbladder acts as a storage or reservoir of excess bile.
A thyroid nodule arises from an abnormal growth of cells within the thyroid gland. While most cases of thyroid nodules are benign, the possibility of cancer must still be considered. For benign nodules, we provide Radiofrequency Ablation as a form of non-surgical treatment.
An endoscopy, or gastroscopy, helps detect abnormalities in the upper gastrointestinal tract, including polyps, Helicobacter pylori infection, and oesophageal and stomach cancers.
Major salivary glands are paired glands that are responsible for producing saliva which drain into the mouth through small tubes called ducts.
