1. Why did you decide to become a doctor?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s the easiest job to be able to help people in general. In my younger years, as a JC student, it was hard to make a career choice \u2014 but I ultimately chose a tough but very fulfilling job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Why did you choose your specialty?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nI chose to specialise in Urology because it\u2019s such an exciting field with many innovations, and there is instant gratification when the patients get well fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. What do you look forward to everyday before heading out to your clinic?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe most satisfying thing is seeing my patients get well, of course!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s very gratifying to be able to help patients regain continence \u2014 especially since women often consider urinary incontinence as something as \u201cnatural\u201d as our skin sagging or bones getting weaker \u2014 but that\u2019s not true. Many conditions causing these symptoms (like the inability to hold urine) are very treatable. You can gain control of your life again, and I enjoy helping people achieve that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For male patients, it\u2019s really fulfilling when they can pee well after their treatments for enlarged prostates or other voiding problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4.<\/strong> What is one common misconception the general public has about your specialty? What\u2019s one thing you wish the public would realise about it?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThere\u2019s a common misconception that only male patients have to see a urologist and females only see gynaecologists! As a urologist, we see both genders, and we can treat both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Why did you decide to set up a private healthcare centre as compared to other healthcare settings?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nI chose to start Aare Urocare because I can provide treatments in a more timely, personalised and effective way. As my clinic has most of the equipment required for a diagnosis, patients are able to save time and costs after the consultation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. What is the most memorable moment in your career?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOne of the most memorable moments was when I spent a year in Switzerland for my fellowship. Living and working in Europe was a real eye-opener!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to cultural differences, the Europeans are generally more independent when they have urological conditions, and I learnt how to teach our local patients about self-care and self-motivation. Also, doing complex cases with my mentors was really stressful and challenging but very rewarding and enriching at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. What piece of healthcare advice would you give to Singaporeans?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nBeing proactive and taking ownership of your health also means listening to your body well. Look out for signs and symptoms and visit your doctor to get checked if you experience any symptoms that concern you. Often, many of these conditions are treatable and outcomes are best when the problems are addressed early. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please take care of your health and take responsibility for it! Know your conditions and understand the treatment plans and medications!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
8. What do you like to do when you aren\u2019t working?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nCan I just say sleeping? *laughs* Well, I like to exercise on days when I\u2019m not so tired, and holidays overseas are always good for the soul. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
