Pros

  • Specialist clinic
  • Personalised and evidence-based treatment

Cons

  • Closed on weekends

The Bone & Joint Centre is among the trusted orthopaedic clinic in Singapore.

Their team of orthopaedic surgeons and foot doctors can help treat a broad range of orthopaedic issues that anyone may be suffering from.

What we like about this specialist clinic is that they offer personalised and evidence-based treatment including ankle surgery, minimally invasive bunion surgery, and other orthopaedic surgeries to all parts of the body.

We think their approach can increases the chances of successful results because they take the time to examine the patient well and back their treatments up with scientific evidence.

They’re also knowledgeable in the field with more than 20 years of experience.

We like that they provide a high level of care for each patient. They’re attentive and caring towards them so the patients themselves feel cared for and comfortable.

They make sure to explain everything in detail as well so that the patients are well aware of their situation and how everything would go.

When it comes to patient care and high level of service, we think they’re among the good options!

Pros

  • Provides geriatric orthopaedic care
  • Attends to child injuries
  • Thorough post-surgery care
  • Emergency 24-hour hotline

Cons

  • Mostly accepts only international insurance
  • Greater focus on orthopaedic surgeries
  • Closed on Sundays

Rumour is Dr Henry Chan and Dr Nicholas Yeoh are the orthopaedic specialist for all ages. Well, we can see why as their clinic (HC Orthopaedic Surgery) offers orthopaedic geriatic care and treats child injuries.

With Dr Henry and Dr Nicholas at the helm, HC Orthopaedic Surgery is able to care for patients with all types of orthopaedic problems. Those in need of knee and hip replacements are especially welcome.

What we think gives them an edge is his special interest in using the modern technologies in his procedures. This includes robotic surgery and pinless computer navigation.

We talked to several patients of theirs. And we found out that HC Orthopaedic Surgery meets its promises of reliability, consistency, precision, healing and care.

In particular, some patients we interviewed shared how supportive and thorough they and their staff were regarding post-surgery care. We all know how this is crucial to full recovery.

Seeing as how they potentially tops the list of my patients, opening a few hours during Sundays can benefit the clinic. The 24-hour hotline is a good compromise though.

We find it inconvenient that walk-in patients will not be entertained for consultation, however. Another thing we are not fond of is that the clinic only accepts selected insurance policies.

Pros

  • Multi-awarded and Swiss fellowship-trained and MOH-accredited orthopaedic surgeon
  • Extensive experience in broad array of orthopaedic conditions
  • Accepts most insurances, and has various clinic locations for easy access for patients
  • Friendly and prompt customer service
  • Partners up with MRI/Xray/lab partners and physiotherapists as well as podiatrists to provide a comprehensive and personalised recovery plan where needed
  • Sports and exercise medicine expertise, for all types of sports-related activity at all levels
  • Uses robotic-assisted technology and minimally invasive techniques for surgeries

Cons

  • Closed on Sundays and public holidays

OrthoCare – Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine is led by Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon Dr. Anandakumar Vellasamy (Dr Ananda Vella).

What we find most impressive about Dr. Ananda Vella is that he’s a multi-awarded Swiss fellowship trained and local MOH-accredited orthopaedic surgeon, with experience in treating all types of orthopaedic conditions and injuries – across all parts of the body, from paediatric to geriatric conditions, in addition to being further sub-specialised trained in all types of fractures as well as all foot and ankle conditions. Dr Ananda is also known for his friendly, caring and collaborative approach as he explains all aspects of the conditions and treatment clearly, believing in a collaborative approach with patients to relieve pain effectively.

As an athlete himself, Dr Ananda is familiar with treating various sports-related conditions and injuries, and can provide patients with a prompt diagnosis as well as comprehensive and practical advice to get them back to their active lifestyles, including incorporating recommendations to sports physiotherapists for personalisedrecovery programs.

Aside from this, we were impressed at how Dr Ananda keeps up-to-date with the modern technologies, including having been trained in various robotic-assisted technology from Mako to Rosa techniques for hip and knee replacements, as well as being well-versed in (keyhole) minimally invasive surgeries too. 

Additionally, we like how the clinic partners different radiology centres and laboratories for patient’s convenience with ease for insurance claims and accessibility. If you require CT, MRI scans, or other tests, you will be referred to your preferred laboratory or radiology centre to ensure a seamless experience.

Another great thing we found about OrthoCare is that it has 3 branches that are conveniently situated at Mount Elizabeth Novena, Parkway East and Farrer Park medical centres, while being accredited to operate at any private hospital islandwide. These accessible locations make it easier for you to see Dr Ananda at a branch convenient to you.

Quite importantly for orthopaedic injuries, OrthoCare accepts various health insurance partners to continue to keep treatments affordable. With Dr Ananda on most insurance and integrated shield plan panels, patients have ease of mind on their financial costsso that they can concentrate on their recovery process.

Finally, there’s no room for complaints about its customer support, either. We found its staff prompt, friendly, and accommodating – and have known enough to assist in the entire process, whether local or foreign patients. Given the high level of care for each patient throughout the process, Dr Ananda and his team’s attentive and caring approach keeps every patient feeling cared for and comfortable. 

The downside is that OrthoCare follows regular clinic hours — which means they’re closed on both Sundays and public holidays, but the staff were still ready to accommodate at the soonest available appointments and went out of their way to answer queries as and when required.

Dr Ong Kee Leong does not need much introduction. He has certainly made a name in the field of orthopaedics with his experience of over 15 years and his exceptional bedside manner. 

We think it’s only apt to include him in our list as service that scores a perfect rating on Google Reviews is always a good sign.

Dr Ong holds that sports, not laughter, is the best medicine. As he is a known sports enthusiast, like-minded people feel affinity towards him, making him their preferred specialist.  

Dr Ong is also famous for not making patients wait for long. If it’s your initial consultation, then you can expect to be seen immediately. 

The initial consultation is long though. To come up with a detailed and safe treatment plan that truly fits a patient’s need, Dr Ong takes his time to get to know the patient.

One testimony stood out for us. The patient shared how Dr Ong asked him about his future goals regarding playing sports again as well as his budget during consultation. 

We love that Dr Ong sees his patients as people with dreams and limitations, not simply a means to show off his skillset. Many current patients of Dr Ong look at him as a friend. 

They claim that the doctor is approachable and patient. He actually gives out his number to patients so that they can reach out to him for any concern. 

What we find even better is that he replies within the day. If you have an orthopaedic concern, you know whom to call.

Pros

  • Expertise in sport-injury management
  • Short waiting time for initial consultation
  • Tailored treatment plan
  • Can be reached easily
  • Accepts medical insurance

Cons

  • High rates for patients without insurance
  • Closed on Sundays

Dr Alan is an expert in sports-related injuries. Many athletes seek him out for fractures, sprains, and torn ligaments and tendons, among others. 

Those suffering from serious injuries also turn to Dr Alan often. As athletes are a special breed, we get that they want the help of a doctor who is also a professional athlete.

Dr Alan continuously competes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He definitely knows how critical reduced downtime is for athletes who want to stay in the game. 

The use of robotic surgery means detailed surgical outcomes and reduced downtime.

Among the orthopaedic specialists in Singapore, we learned that Dr Alan is one of the few who are competent in advanced robotic surgical techniques such as Makoplasty, Navio and Robodoc.

Of course, the clinic also accepts non-athletic patients. The doctor’s experience in managing bone cancer comes in handy. 

Apart from him coming across as knowledgeable and empathic, a number of patients praised Dr Alan to us for being easygoing. 

Anyway, with all the positive reviews and media, we are not surprised that patients want to be treated by Dr Alan. Walk-in patients are not always entertained though. 

Pros

  • Performs robotic surgery
  • Reduced downtime for surgeries
  • Experience in bone cancer management

Cons

  • Doesn’t always accept walk-ins
  • High rates for patients without insurance
  • Closed on Sundays

The Orthopaedic Centre is known for its competitive orthopaedic services provided by some of the most competent orthopaedic specialists in Singapore. 

Dr Tan Chyn Hong is part of this great team. And his specialisation is in surgeries for shoulder, elbow and knee. 

In addition, Dr Tan was the first surgeon in Singapore to perform implantless arthroscopic rotator cuff shoulder surgery. 

At present, he supervises a group of orthopaedic surgeons as well as sports physicians and therapists. Yes, we again included an orthopaedic specialist serving professional athletes.

Among the patients cared for by Dr Tan, a few we came across were basketball players and martial artists. With contact sports, injuries are inevitable, so that was unsurprising. 

The patients we interviewed claimed that Dr Tan’s approach results in less pain and quick recovery. So, they were able to return to the sports they love sooner than later. 

As Dr Tan works with physicians and therapists, his patients receive comprehensive post-surgery care. 

What we are not so happy about are the rates. The Orthopaedic Centre is one of the biggest clinics for orthopaedic needs, so the hefty price tag may not come as a surprise. 

Nevertheless, if you are a rich injured professional athlete who cannot wait to be removed from the injured list, then Dr Tan is a good choice.

Pros

  • Specialises in shoulder, elbow and knee surgeries 
  • Focused on professional athletes
  • Quicker recovery

Cons

  • Expensive 
  • Closed on Sundays

If you want an all-around orthopaedic specialist, then we introduce Dr Sean Ng, the head of the Ardmore Orthopaedic Clinic. He performs a broad range of orthopaedic surgeries.

Among the orthopaedic specialists in our list, Dr Sean has the longest experience. With around 20 years under his belt, he is practised in general orthopaedic and trauma surgery.

Yet his focus is not on sports injuries. His interest is in foot and ankle surgeries. 

Specifically, Dr Sean treats common foot and ankle conditions and manages and corrects deformities. What we like is that he does minimally invasive surgery as well.

Such an option is very ideal for anyone who is apprehensive of getting a surgery. If you have bunions, clawed toes, unstable ankle and chronic heel pain, then Dr Sean is probably a good option.

Also worth noting is that a number of his patients who had minimally invasive surgeries were pleased because of the minor scarring. That’s a consideration if you’re sensitive to the cosmetics of procedures.

Anyway, one of the promises of Ardmore Orthopaedic Clinic is transparent pricing. We actually have not heard of any complaints about hidden charges.

In addition, patients’ needs are put first. We are happy to let you know that Dr Sean and his staff are competent in pain management and physiotherapy. 

When a surgery is the last resort, Dr Sean does not recommend it. We like that he doesn’t push for it although he can perform the surgery and do it well, too. 

Pros

  • More than 20 years of experience
  • Performs minimally invasive surgeries
  • Transparent rates

Cons

  • Closed on Sundays

OrthoKau is a local orthopaedic practice that specializes in hip and knee conditions.

For over 15 years, they’ve been looking after patients of all ages and conditions.

What we like about them is their patient-centered ethos. They understand that each patient presents differently, so they recognize that treatments should be tailored to each one.

What’s more is that they try to simplify everything for their patients and customize solutions based on individual needs.

While they specialize in hip and knee conditions, we like that they’re also part of Synergy Orthopaedic Group, which is an established group of expert surgeons in various subspecialties.

All in all, we recommend!

We like that the professionals that they employ are especially knowledgeable and competent with orthopaedic surgeries and treatments which says a lot about the success rates of the clients that they have received their treatments.

Furthermore, their clinic also accommodates same day appointments and access when it comes to facilities and billing needs such as insurance filing to ensure that clients have a hassle-free experience with them.

Though their services are listed on their website, their rates aren’t readily available so clients may need to inquire for such information and if any packages are available for their desired packages.
