How to choose
Picking an ENT specialist comes down to what’s actually bothering you, and how soon you need it fixed. Check their sub-specialty first — some are sinus wizards (Dr Lim Keng Hua, Dr Gan Eng Cern), others handle hearing and balance (Dr Lynne Lim, Dr Annabelle Leong), and a few cover complex head and neck surgery (ASCENT, Dr Jeeve). If kids are the patient, look for paediatric experience clearly stated — Dr Lynne Lim and Dr Jeeve are often chosen for that.
Location matters when you’re not feeling great. Most clinics are clustered around Mount Elizabeth and Novena, so if you’re central, you’re within MRT reach. Raffles ENT Centre’s 24-hour access is a godsend for emergencies, but if it’s a weekday appointment you’re after, Saturday morning slots at the other clinics fill up fast — call early.
Price is another factor. Consultation fees vary between specialists, and procedures or surgeries come with their own cost. Ask for a rough estimate when you book. Insurance coverage differs too, so give your insurer a ring if you’re planning a bigger procedure.
