Did you know that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is one of the world's oldest forms of medicine, with a history of more than 2,500 years?

TCM is currently practiced in more than 140 countries, and the Ministry of Health in Singapore has also acknowledged the importance of TCM. They have taken measures to ensure that TCM practitioners are of professional standards and provided extra funding to support the TCM sector.

Friends, families and even fellow doctors often ask how they should go about seeing an Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) Specialist in Singapore.

Many are not even aware that ENT as a surgical specialty even exists! Although I end up seeing them myself most of the time, they often have many questions. These include questions about the costs of seeing an ENT Specialist, or the need for a subspecialist for their condition. 

As an ENT Specialist with more than 10 years of experience in this field, I hope this article will shed some light for those in search for an ENT Specialist in Singapore.

We all know that intrinsic aging is a natural part of the aging process that reduces collagen and elastin production in your skin. When the natural elasticity is lost, it causes our skin to sag.

The most common request I get from my patients is to help them keep their complexion looking young and fresh.

I always tell them that to look youthful, tightening the skin on your face and neck is the first place to start. Watch the video to discover how I help my patients customise a treatment plan for their concerns. 

We’ve all been guilty of ear digging. Most of my patients say they do it because they can’t stand the thought of earwax in their ear canal. Others will simply say that ear digging feels “shiok”. Imagine their surprise when I tell them that the ear canal is a self-cleansing organ which doesn't need to be cleaned!

Does your nose drip like a leaky faucet 365 days a year? Do you constantly sniffle away, while the rest of your office casts judgemental stares at you?

From date nights, to friend gatherings and important work meetings, a runny nose that never seems to go away can be hugely debilitating to your everyday life.

Good news? There's hope for you. Stop using up 2 whole boxes of tissue paper each week. I'm here to teach you how to get rid of your runny nose, permanently.

I often encounter friends and patients who tell me that they have “thyroid”, as if their thyroid gland is a disease or a problem. The fact is, everybody has a thyroid gland.

Your thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland that sits in front of the windpipe. It's function is to produce thyroid hormones that regulate your metabolism (how your body use energy).

Most people have a perfectly normal thyroid gland. You don’t have to do anything at all if your thyroid gland is healthy!

Ever experienced sleepless nights next to a loud snorer? It's time to ask your snoring partner to get some help!

Snoring is a common problem, affecting about 15% of Singaporeans. If you've just been brushing it off as a nuisance, here's the deal - snoring may be symptomatic of a more serious health concern.

Ever ended up with a sore throat after binging on deep fried food, chocolates or durian? You probably attributed this to eating too much “heaty” food.

However, there's actually a medical reason behind this. All these "heaty foods" cause acid reflux, which exacerbate a very common condition I see amongst Singaporeans known as Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR).

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is currently one of the most effective and most sought after non-surgical treatments for skin tightening and face lifting in Singapore.

With a large number of HIFU treatment brands and a broad range of treatment providers, I often get a lot of questions on the very varied pricing for HIFU treatments in Singapore.

Hence, I've decided to write this post to help you understand the varying HIFU treatment prices, the effectiveness, and the safety concerns beyond the marketing hype.
