Renee graduated from Nanyang Polytechnic in 2018 with a Diploma in Nursing. In her 3 years of experience, Renee has worked in General Surgery wards and has acquired skill sets to look after patients’ pre- and post-operatively. Renee has managed a broad diverse background of patients, including the very elderly and frail, patients with chronic complex diseases, residents from various nursing homes and institutions as well as many from the surrounding community.

OUR MOTTO

Our motto is "Caring Hearts, Evidence Based Minds, Skilled Hands".

The simple philosophy of our clinic consists of 3 parts:

Caring Hearts

We understand there are many concerns and anxieties when one seeks medical treatment. We aim to listen, empathize and understand the needs of all our patients. Treatment is individualized and personalized.
Evidence Based Minds

Medical science is ever changing and evolving. 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 date knowledge 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 with the patient and their caregivers to ensure complete understanding of the benefits, risks and limitations of each procedure. Most importantly, surgery will be done safely and with the best interests of our patients.
