Our motto is "Caring Hearts, Evidence Based Minds, Skilled Hands".
The simple philosophy of our clinic consists of 3 parts:
We understand there are many concerns and anxieties when one seeks medical treatment. We aim to listen, empathise and understand the needs of all our patients. Treatment is individualise and personalised.
Educated Minds
Medical science is ever-changing and evolving. The scientific evidence provided can be confusing and overwhelming. Interpretation can often be misunderstood and practices that work in certain countries may not be suited for our local population. We will aim to use up-to-dateknowledge and scientific evidence available to provide best practices and aid in decision-making.
Skilled Hands
If surgery is needed we will perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures with the highest skills available. We will aim to use innovation and technology when suitable to allow enhanced recovery. Decisions made will be explained thoroughly to the patient and their caregivers to ensure a complete understanding of the benefits, risks and limitations of each procedure. Most importantly, surgery will be done safely and in our patients’ best interests.
