Our vision was to be the first clinic in Singapore to focus entirely on the specialty of head and neck surgery. This has always been our passion, and is the field in which we have excelled.
Our aim is not only to provide state-of-the-art, comprehensive care to patients with head and neck problems, but to also ensure that whatever advice and treatment they receive is appropriate, timely and with their interests at heart.
Head and neck surgery is now a well-established surgical subspeciality in its own right. The scope of disease it encompasses is huge, and oftentimes complex, and decision making can be very complicated. The surgery is often technically difficult, and functional and survival outcomes are frequently closely linked to surgical expertise. Complicated surgery is therefore not for the ‘occasional’ surgeon.
We believe that we are in the best position to offer patients the best possible care.
Head and Neck Surgery is a specialized field of surgery which focuses on surgical problems of the organs of the head and neck.
A list of common head and neck problems is given below. As a specialist centre, we manage everything from the smallest benign lesions to the most major cancers.
