PRACTICE DETAIL
Since 1995, I have been in Private Practice. My practice is divided between Spine Surgery and General Orthopaedics.
In Spine Surgery, I work closely with Dr CT Tan (Orthopaedic Surgeon) and Dr James SH Tan(Neurosurgeon). Our common interest is to provide comprehensive care for patients with spinal disorders through our combined expertise. For many years now, we find that by doing surgery together and discussing complex spinal disorders with both Orthopaedic and Neurosurgical input optimises patient and surgical outcome. We continue to keep abreast of new developments and to expand our spine team. My Specific Interest in Low Back Surgery.
I continue to manage patients with general Orthopaedics problems including osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, disorders in the geriatric population and fractures and dislocations.
