Top Recommended Gynaecologists in Singapore 2023
Almost all modern and top gynaecologists are also obstetricians and therefore
the term obstetricians & gynecologists or O&G in short. The term
'gynecologist' is often mis-spelled as 'gynocologist' by laymen. In many
areas, the specialties of gynaecology and obstetrics overlap.
To select a doctor, many of us rely on a single recommendation or even a
random search through the search engines. Your gynecologist or women’s health
specialist assists you with your pregnancy, screens you for diseases, helps
you plan a family and more. And when you are pregnant, this person (other than
yourself) will understand your situation and is the one to ensure two people
(you and your baby) are at the best possible health.
However, choosing the right obstetrician and gynecologist (O&G) for your pregnancy and also the right place to deliver your baby may not be as simple as one might think.
The list below is a long list. Please read this guide on how do you choose a gynaecologist in Singapore before you proceed. Then, you can use the list below to start your short-listing process as per the guide.

Speciality: Obstetrics ＆ Gynaecology, Maternal Fetal Medicine
Dr. Tan Hak Koon is currently appointed as the chairman and senior consultant of the Division of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital. He specialises in high-risk pregnancy and ultrasound scans. Expectant mothers who are experiencing pregnancy complications and need special antenatal care would opt to seek his expert advice and medical services. While considered “a man of few words” as remarked by some of his patients, he is very accommodating and answers every inquiry. Known to be risk-averse, he is very decisive when confronted with critical cases, and acts fast to prevent further complications.

How to Choose Your Ob-gyn or Gynaecologist in Singapore
In order to find the best gynecologist for yourself or your loved ones, you will need to analyse basically your personal factors and external factors in order to come to an actionable decision. You can use a spreadsheet if you need to, in order to declutter the information that you have.
Personal factors would include (but not limited) to the following:
1. Preference for a female gynecologist
Nothing wrong with choosing a female gynecologist if that's your personal preference. There are many good female gynaecologists in Singapore.

6. Ask for referrals
Ask your family doctor or other healthcare providers for referrals to ob-gyns or gynaecologists in your area. You can also ask friends, family, or colleagues for recommendations.
You can also find out a doctor’s number of years of practise by simply popping in his/her name in this SMC directory.
9. Gynae's expertise and experience
Some gynaes prefer caesarian section (c-section) as they can control the delivery time. As for normal vaginal delivery, the timing is often unpredictable and might happen during the odd hours of the day. Some gynaes will be upfront and will inform you that they don't do normal vaginal delivery. You just need to find another option.
“I switched gynaes because one was more supportive of natural birth than the other. My new doctor was comfortable about taking a step back, and allowed me to give birth at my own pace as long as we were both safe.” – Nicole Tan, 27 year-old who delivered via water birth.
10. Choosing which hospital to deliver
Gynae first or hospital first? The primary person who will be managing your pregnancy is your gynae. Although hospital is one of the considerations, most hospitals in Singapore are well equipped and have well trained supporting staff. If you have a high risk pregnancy, it's better not to place too much emphasis on your preferred hospital. If your gynae were to recommend you to give birth in KKH or NUH, you should listen to your gynae's advice.
11. Maternity Packages in Singapore
You might wish to check out maternity packages in Singapore (vaginal delivery and caesarean section) for comparison on the maternity packages for both the public and private hospitals in Singapore.
Please take note that the term 'maternity package' is not a simple fixed price item that you are used to in your day to day shopping at supermarkets. That's the reason some hospitals do not offer that as every delivery is unique and different. Most maternity packages will list down cost items that are included and more importantly, cost items that are not included. These might include consultant fee and hospital cost that are beyond the designated period (e.g. 3 days / 2 nights package) and also unexpected complications to the mother or baby. So, do not be surprised that your final bill will be much higher than the 'maternity package'.
If you are looking for the cheapest or most affordable maternity package in Singapore, NUH Hospital Ward C would be your choice. If you would prefer a private hospital instead, Parkway East Hospital in a 4 bedded room would be the most affordable choice for normal delivery and Thomson Medical Centre in a 4 bedded room for Caesarean section.
Personal factors would include (but not limited) to the following:
1. Preference for a female gynecologist
Nothing wrong with choosing a female gynecologist if that's your personal preference. There are many good female gynaecologists in Singapore.

2. Your Budget
If you have limited budget, you might prefer to choose the public hospitals instead. However, some private hospitals do have 4-bedded rooms that are relatively more affordable, if you choose to accept a 4 bedded room.
You should also check with your insurance provider if they cover only certain doctors and hospitals.

3. Distance to your house or office
Gynae appointments are quite regular. In first trimester, it's roughly every month. When closer to due date, it's almost every 2 weeks. If you have shortlisted a few options and they are all equally suitable, you might choose the one who is nearest to your house or office. Convenience matters. It will save you time and unnecessary stress.

4. Online research
Before you get yourself overwhelmed with all the jargons on the internet, it's important you have some basic understanding with the medical specialty that you are dealing with.
O&G stands for Obstetrics and Gynaecology. What's the difference between obstetricians and gynaecologists? Most gynaes are qualified with a post-graduate qualification in O&G i.e. MRCOG or Master of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Therefore, they are trained both in obstetrics as well as gynaecology. An obstetrician specialises in pregnancy related aspects of women's health whereas a gynae specialised in the 'non-pregnancy' related aspects.
Next, you may also need to understand that there are 4 primary subspecialties in ob/gyn:
1) maternal fetal medicine (obstetrics)
2) reproductive endocrinology and infertility (IVF etc.)
3) female pelvic and reconstructive surgery (uro-gynae)
4) gynaecologic oncology (gynae-oncologist)
Now that you have a better picture on who you will be dealing with, it's easier for you to make an appointment with the right specialist or subspecialist.
There are also others who have traveled this path ahead of you and they could be your sources of wisdom and support. There are also many self-proclaimed experts on social media dishing out advice and recommendations. However, 'too many cooks spoil the broth'. You and your situation are unique.
5. Patient – Doctor relationship
A good doctor will engage in a dialogue and listen instead of talking continuously without any eye-contact or just staring at his or her desktop or mobile phone. Expect your doctor to listen well, take your questions and concerns seriously and explain his or her advice and actions. If you are not comfortable with your doctor for whatever the reason, then he or she may not be the right doctor for you.
If your baby is having a 'fetal distress' meaning a sign your baby isn't coping with labour. It might mean they need a caesarean or a C-section to speed up the birth.
Fetal distress is an emergency in which a baby experiences lack of oxygen. Your gynae must immediately address and manage fetal distress to avoid serious complications, such as brain injury, cerebral palsy (spastic baby) and even stillbirth.
Obstetrics is not rocket science. Choose a gynae who has time for you. A very busy gynae does not necessarily mean that she/he is the best gynae for you.

Once you have compiled your list of options, your next step would be to check out the patient reviews on Google and local parenting forums such as SingaporeMotherhood and Kiasu parents; and also Gynaecologist Singapore Review.

6. Ask for referrals
Ask your family doctor or other healthcare providers for referrals to ob-gyns or gynaecologists in your area. You can also ask friends, family, or colleagues for recommendations.
7. Your appointment
Once you have shortlisted your options, it's time to call and make your appointment. If your gynae has a very tight schedule and is busy with too many patients, it might be wise to open up your options.
At your appointment, make sure you and your doctor share the same values. If you're going to the gynecologist seeking normal delivery and, upon discussing it at the appointment, discover that your doctor does not believe in normal delivery, it's time to look for a second option.
If you are looking for an affordable gynecologist in Singapore, you may wish to short-list those from the public hospitals i.e. SGH, NUH and KKH.
8. High risk pregnancy
Discuss with your gynae on your options if you are in the high risk category. The situation is more complicated as there are more considerations in high risk pregnancy. It's not just the gynae but the supporting team is important i.e. nurses, neonatalogists, equipments etc.
Some gynaes have more experience in managing high risk pregnancies. In the private sector, most gynaes might claim that they can manage almost every possible complication, although maternal fetal medicine is not their sub-specialty. You can check their training background on their website.

Dr Tony Tan says that “Expecting mums can expect shorter waiting time at Raffles Hospital because its consultation clinics, diagnostic rooms and delivery wards are all located at the same building. They also have the option to head down to 1 of the 5 satellite clinics at a more convenient location.”
Genevieve Goh, was determined to deliver at Mount Alvernia Hospital because she is Catholic and liked the environment. “So, when I had to choose a gynae, I naturally looked at the clinics located at that particular hospital”.

An analysis done by The Astute Parent, revealed that Caesarean section ratio is the highest in TMC (Thomson) and MAH (Mount Alvernia).
I think I can recommend Dr Pamela Tan in Thomson
