FAQs
1. How Do I Know Which Specialist I Should See For My Symptoms?
Navigating health concerns can be confusing, especially when symptoms overlap across multiple specialties. Our Editor’s Lists are organised by medical expertise and specialty to help you identify the most relevant type of doctor. If you’re unsure, many specialists can offer a broad diagnostic perspective and refer you onwards if needed.
2. Should I See A Surgeon Even If I Haven’t Been Diagnosed Yet?
Yes, in many cases it is perfectly appropriate to consult a surgeon from the outset. Surgeons often have extensive diagnostic experience and can advise whether surgery is necessary or not. Starting with a surgical opinion doesn’t mean you’ll undergo a procedure, but it gives you access to expert guidance right away.
3. Why Is A Second Opinion Important?
A second opinion can provide peace of mind, especially when facing a serious or uncertain diagnosis. It helps confirm the diagnosis, explore alternative treatment options, and may even reveal new insights into your condition. Our list includes trusted specialists across disciplines, ideal for obtaining well-informed second opinions.
4. Is It Worth Paying More for Private Healthcare In Singapore?
While private healthcare in Singapore is generally more expensive than public services, it offers shorter wait times, personalised care, and more flexibility in choosing your doctor. For those facing urgent health concerns or seeking continuity with a specific specialist, private care can be a valuable investment.
5. Why Choose A Doctor Or Specialist In Singapore Instead Of Going Overseas?
Singapore is home to world-class medical professionals and internationally accredited hospitals. Local treatment (for Singapore residents) eliminates the stress, cost, and recovery challenges associated with travel. Moreover, you benefit from follow-up care and long-term monitoring by the same team – all without leaving the country.
