6 Notable ENT Specialists in Singapore

Cleanliness of Facility

Firstly, the facility or clinic must not only be clean, but must be regularly sanitized. This must be a standard for all medical facilities you visit for check-ups.

Qualifications and Credentials

Always check if your chosen specialist is qualified and licensed in the ENT field of study, or Otorhinolaryngology

Good Customer Experience

Not only should you choose an expert, but also choose a facility with accommodating staff and comfortable interiors. Anything that brings ease to your visit to the specialist is a plus.

Reasonable Cost

Going to a specialist doesn't come cheap, but it should have a reasonable cost. It is also helpful if your insurance covers this specialist’s services.

Availability and Accessibility

ENT issues can occur anytime, so it is best that you choose a specialist that you can easily contact or go to. It is also helpful if the facility is located in an accessible area.

One of the standout features of Advanced ENT Centre is the depth of experience that Dr. Lau offers. Dr. Lau’s background in ENT, coupled with his subspecialties in nose and sinus disorders, and throat and voice issues, provides patients with a comprehensive and personalized approach to treatment.

Furthermore, the clinic’s commitment to patient care ensures that each patient receives personalized, tailored attention for their specific conditions.

Zenith Medical Clinic

Website: https://www.punggolgp.com/

Location: 266C Punggol Way, #01-374, Singapore 823266

Contact Info: +65 6443 3678/ manadr.com

Working Hours: 

Weekdays – 8:00am to 1:00pm; 6:00pm to 9:30pm
Saturdays – 8:00am to 1:00pm
Sundays – 6:00pm to 9:30pm

Pros

  • Affordable with a broad range of services
  • A team of doctors and psychologists
  • Patient and community centered service
  • Services include pediatrics and mental health
  • General ENT services

Cons

  • Not located at the heart of the city
  • Psychologists are only available by appointment

Unlike the other entries on our list, Zenith Medical is not led by a single doctor. Instead, it is composed of a team of doctors and psychologists.

Their services encompass a more broad range of services, including mental health, minor surgery, pediatrics, blood testing and even STD screening. 

So, we recommend them if you’re looking for an affordable go-to clinic located within the Punggol area. 

However, we do note that Zenith Medical may not be the pick for more distressing ENT health concerns. They manage very well with general conditions, and will refer you to a more established specialist as needed.

Their ENT services cover nasal endoscopy, hearing loss, and foreign body removal in the ear, nose and throat. They are good in handling these concerns with younger patients, so parents are assured that their kids are in good hands.

Their team also employed a large group of medical assistants to serve as staff. That means all patients and customers are assisted and accommodated during their visit.

Lastly, what we love most about their team is that they conduct community outreaches for counselling, blood testing, and vaccinations. We consider these initiatives as their dedication as stewards of health.
