About
Eugene Lim obtained his basic medical degree and his postgraduate qualification in Internal Medicine in 1990 and 1996 respectively from NUS. After undergoing Rheumatology training at TTSH leading to specialty accreditation in 2000, he left for private practice. He pioneered Rheumatology’s interest in musculoskeletal ultrasound in Singapore, and pursued further training leading to accreditations as a EULAR musculoskeletal ultrasound trainer as well as a WIP-certified interventional pain sonologist.
He considers advanced imaging as an important adjunct to early diagnosis and to guide therapeutic intervention. He applies ultrasound to optimise the management of patients he sees on a daily basis with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA), Lupus (SLE), Gout and Osteoarthritis (OA). Immunology fascinates him, drawing him to niche areas like Reproductive Immunology and Onco-Immunotherapy immune-related adverse events (irAEs). His current interest is in developing Interventional Pain Management in Rheumatology.
His management philosophy, “Fast and Furious, Treat to Target, with Whatever It Takes”, characterises his approach to the inflammatory arthritides and autoimmune diseases. This has resulted in “cure” (drug-free remission) in some patients with rheumatic diseases, and “full control” (clinical remission) of disease activity or functional pain relief in most if not all patients under his individualised care.

About
Dr Foo Chek Siang graduated with the degrees of MBBS from the National University of Singapore in 1997. He started his advanced surgical training in the major tertiary restructured hospitals in Singapore, obtaining the post graduate qualifications of MRCS (Edinburgh) and MMed (Surgery) in 2003, before completion in 2007 with the FRCS (General Surgery). He was inducted into the Fellowship of the Academy of Medicine Singapore in the same year.
Dr Foo was privileged to have had a double fellowship as part of sub-specialist training. He was trained in advanced laparoscopic techniques under the pupilage of Dr Jean-Louis Dulucq at the Institute of Laparoscopic Surgery in Bordeaux, France. Dr Dulucq is distinguished among the foremost laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgeons in Europe with a wide repertoire of advanced upper gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary and colorectal operations under his belt. Dr Foo was then awarded the Health Manpower Development Programme Award by the Ministry of Health in 2008, and spent a year in St. George Hospital, Kogarah-Sydney, New South Wales, Australia under the pupilage of Dr John Jorgensen, Dr Michael Talbot and Dr Ken Loi. His repertoire in advanced laparoscopy, and in particular upper gastrointestinal and bariatric work was further honed with the vast spectrum and high volume of complicated oncological (cancer), functional, bariatric (weight loss surgery) and metabolic work.
Dr Foo had been actively teaching in advanced laparoscopic techniques, involved in faculties of local masterclasses and the regional Asia Endosurgery Task Force, sharing his experience and encouraging the adoption of advanced surgical techniques among the surgeons in South East Asia and wider East Asia. It is his belief that minimal access surgery is the now and future of surgical treatment, providing greater surgical precision and better results with faster recovery and better patient comfort, without any compromise in surgical efficacy.
Dr. Foo had been involved in clinical research encompassing mainly oesophageal and gastric cancer in the local institutions. Of particular note was a contributory co-investigator in the Gastric Cancer Epidemiology, Clinical and Genetic Programme (GCEP) Cohort Study of Patients at High Risk of Gastric Cancer, the data from which further research is still on-going.
He is also a founding member and previous committee member of the OMSSS (Obesity & Metabolic Surgery Society of Singapore), and has contributed to the work of like-minded local-regional surgical professionals.
Dr Foo is among some of the pioneering specialists in Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, having started his private practice on 2 July 2012 together with the inauguration of this world-class Centre of Medical Excellence offering quality tertiary care. He contributes to the Hospital in serving as the Chairman of the Medical Quality Assurance and a previous vice-Chairman of the Medical Advisory Board. He believes that private healthcare in Singapore fills the gap in providing expeditious multidisciplinary care without forsaking compassion and empathy.
In addition to serving the Hospital specialists, Dr Foo gives back to the medical community by teaching regularly at the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine as a Clinical Practice Facilitator. He also makes it a point to involve himself in regular medical mission trips to the region.
Dr Foo’s clinical expertise lies in abdominal and digestive surgery, applying the techniques of minimal access surgery to treat conditions of the digestive tract – be it in the upper gastrointestinal tract (oesophagus, stomach and duodenum), lower gastrointestinal tract (small and large intestine), hepatobiliary tree (liver and gallbladder) or abdominal wall conditions like abdominal and groin herniae.
He has significant experience and training in radical oncological surgery, applying the techniques of systematic extensive lymphadenectomy in oesophageal and stomach cancer. He is a proponent of radical lymphadenectomy especially in the context of stomach cancer, combined with a multi-disciplinary team comprising medical oncology, for the best possible long-term control of disease and overall survival.
Dr Foo also has a deep passion for bariatric (weight loss) and metabolic (diabetic and related conditions) surgery. With the rising epidemic of obesity and increasing recognition of its related illnesses like diabetes, heart diseases and cancer, Dr Foo is convinced that obesity is a true medical condition that can be successfully overcome with surgery. He also advocates surgery to help patients who are battling worsening and uncontrollable weight-related metabolic disorders like diabetes, hyperlipidaemia (high cholesterol), fatty liver, gout and obstructive sleep apnoea. Recognising obesity as a medical, and not just a cosmetic, disease, Dr Foo believes that while surgery provides the best possible results for weight and metabolic control, a multi-disciplinary approach is the catalyst for sustained long-term results.
Being an avid amateur endurance athlete with Ironman distance triathlon and ultra marathon races under his belt, Dr. Foo’s personal conviction is that long-term control of chronic conditions like obesity and metabolic disorders and functional disorders is best accompanied with personal paradigm shifts in dietary and exercise habits. He believes that exercise is a form of medicine that benefits not just the body but also the mind and soul. While he has retired from the triathlon scene, he has still been active doing road cycling and trail running. As much as he gets his sense of achievement from seeing his patients recover from their ailments, he also gets his satisfaction from climbing mountains on his road bike. He is currently training in his free time for trail ultramarathons and hopes to qualify for the UTMB one day.

The hospital is renowned for pioneering plastic reconstructive techniques in the treatment of aircrew members who suffered serious burns during the Battle of Britain in World War II.
Dr Tan specializes in Oculofacial Plastic Surgery (droopy upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid eyebags, eyelid malposition), Lacrimal Surgery (management of tearing, nasolacrimal tear duct obstruction, infections) and Orbital Surgery (thyroid eye disease, orbital fractures, orbital tumors).
Dr Tan brings back with her novel surgical techniques, including scar-less ptosis (droopy eyelid) repair and scar-less tear duct surgery. Asian patients have a greater tendency for post-operative inflammation and scarring. Scar-less surgeries, such as the posterior approach ptosis surgery and endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy, are therefore particularly useful for Asians.

This specialized training placed him at the forefront of his field.

These techniques, known for their minimally invasive nature, have shown the potential to reduce hospitalization duration and expedite patient recovery.
