The Top 5 Dermatologists in Singapore

The Top 5 Dermatologists in Singapore

Budget

Value is important, especially in today’s market. For that reason, we're considering how much value you’re getting in these clinics versus their competitors. 

Customer experience

The customer’s experience is the bottom line, especially in this industry. Clinics must please and deliver their customer’s expectations.

Facilities and tools

Customers are at the mercy of their dermatologists. Let’s face it, skin is sensitive, so the quality and cleanliness of the tools and facilities greatly influence the entire quality of the end product.

Mastery

In tandem with their facilities and tools, the experience of the dermatologist is the biggest piece of the puzzle when it comes to a successful business in the beauty industry.

Pros

  • Accessible through MRT
  • Experienced dermatologists
  • World-class facilities
  • Flexible medical options

Cons

  • Does not verify allergies before administering treatment

Assurance Skin, Laser & Aesthetics is a well-distinguished clinic under the helm of Dr. Wong. With 28 years of experience, we’ve heard a lot of praises from customers about their experience.

For instance, a female patient who has been suffering from severe acne shared with us that Dr. Wong didn’t try to hard-sell and solely went with a treatment she was comfortable doing.

The clinic was clean and cozy. The interior resembles a mix of a spa and a medical hospital, making the ambiance warm and welcoming.

The facilities are world-class, equipped with modern surgery operating theatres, MRI/CT scanning, x-ray, and blood testing.

Moreover, the clinic is easily accessible. It’s only a five-minute walk from the Novena MRT station. 

Although, we must point out that we also encountered unpleasant feedback from other customers. In one case, a customer was given Doxycycline, a kind of antibiotic used to treat infections from certain parasites or bacteria. 

After a week, the customer started having trouble breathing. She called the clinic about this and was told that it may be due to other health reasons.

She later found out from her GP that she was apparently allergic to this kind of antibiotic. We think that the dermatologist should have verified if the customer had any allergies before administering treatment. 

Albeit a rare case, it’s best to consult your GP if you’re planning to take medication you’re not familiar with. It never hurts to know more before taking anything new.

Pros

  • Experienced dermatologists
  • Well-known clinic
  • Walking distance from Napier MRT station
  • Customer-centric 
  • Beautiful clinic
  • Plenty of parking space

Cons

  • Expensive rates

Dermatology & Co is one of the more well-known clinics in Singapore. This is probably because of its dynamic duo of head doctors, Dr. Ker and Dr. Tan. 

You might have seen them appear on television, particularly on Medicorp Channel 8. Or maybe you’ve seen them on Facebook doing webinars about eczema and skin care.

Other than their celebrity-like status, Dr. Ker and Dr. Tan share 12 years of experience in clinical practice. 

Their clinic is located in Gleneagles Hospital and is within walking distance from the Napier MRT station. With aesthetic accents of mostly wood, its clinic resembles more of a private health club than a traditional medical center. 

When we visited the clinic, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Speaking with them, we found out that Dermatology & Co prioritizes its patients and ensures their comfort first.

For instance, when we talked to a previous customer who had surgery scheduled, he noted that the staff noticed he was quite nervous. The staff then offered to play some tunes he liked to help him relax.

While the clinic is top-notch, and the customer service is superb, the rates are on the expensive side. The consultation fee alone is already $160. 

Budget is something you might want to consider if you plan to visit Dermatology & Co. If you’re looking for cheaper alternatives, we recommend you check the other entries on our list.

Pros

  • Excellent with kids
  • Multiple branches
  • Experienced team of dermatologists

Cons

  • Bad customer service
  • Lacks facilities and equipment 

What separates The Dermatology Practice from its competitors is the team of dermatologists it has working under one roof.

Most clinics have 1 to 3 dermatologists, but here, there are 6 professionals who have decades upon decades of collective clinical experience.

Perhaps that’s the reason it has multiple clinics around Singapore — three to be exact.

Wherever you are located in the country, there’s probably a The Dermatology Practice clinic near you.

We went to the Orchard branch, but the other branches are located in Gleneagles and Novena. 

The clinic in Orchard resembles a modern beauty clinic. Albeit basic, it holds all the fundamental facilities and equipment it needs for most of its customers’ needs.

The most notable compliment we constantly hear from other customers is the dermatologists’ ability to treat and work with children.

For instance, a prior customer and her daughter shared a bad case of rosacea.

They’ve tried at least 3 other clinics to treat their chronic skin irritation, but only the dermatologists in The Dermatology Place managed to accommodate and treat their skin condition.

The problem we noticed here, however, is that some of its front desk staff have issues communicating with customers calling in. This clinic’s customer service is an area that needs improvement.

Nevertheless, this is a great clinic that is very easy to access with its multiple branches. And we think it can surely help you solve most of your skin-related problems.

Pros

  • Wide clientele 
  • Well-known dermatologist
  • Has its own signature brand of skincare products

Cons

  • Hard to book a session
  • Irregular operating hours

Spearheaded by Dr. Teo Wan Lin, TWL Specialist Skin & Laser Centre is a widely known beauty clinic around Singapore. Dr. Teo is a prominent figure in the beauty industry.

She is regularly consulted by top-tier clients and has been widely featured in magazines like Harper’s Bazar, Men’s Health, and Daily Vanity, to name a few.

Furthermore, Dr. Teo’s formulated cosmeceutical line, Dr. TWL Dermaceuticals is widely used and trending, being featured in notable magazines such as The New York Times Style and CLEO.

That being said, she is definitely one of the best beauty gurus out there that has a diverse clientele. Her services are in demand, so it comes as no surprise to us that booking her clinic is quite a challenge.

For some of the clients we spoke to, it took 2 working days to get a response and finalize their sessions. Some even had to book about 2 weeks in advance.

Nevertheless, we think the wait is worth it. Dr. Teo has a reputation for listening intently to clients as they talk about their skin history. 

Overall, a session with her is very informative. She also recommends skincare routines to help target different skin concerns, which we appreciate.

Specialist Skin Clinic has been in the beauty industry since 1990. It has become a household name and a reliable destination, thanks to its comprehensive dermatological and medical services.

The team in Specialist Skin Clinic has over 60 years of combined experience handling medical, cosmetic, and pediatric dermatology.

The clinic is conveniently found on Orchard Road, which is within walking distance from the Somerset MRT station.

We like that this provider has a wide range of services and does not rely solely on the use of surgical methods or medicines.

It strives for a more holistic approach, such as encouraging proper nutrition and an overall healthy lifestyle. Through this, it tackles skin issues from multiple directions and aspects of life.

We must point out that the prices of its services may not be everyone’s cup of tea. The consultation fee, in particular, is already going to cost you $180.

All things considered, we think you get what you pay for. The staff is well adept at dealing with customers and the dermatologists not only educate you but also give you a wide array of methods to treat your skin issues.

Communication is at the forefront of customer service. Having said that, the people in Specialist Skin Clinic are fluent in Mandarin, English, Malay, and other dialects, which ensures accommodation for all.
