Patients
The focus of Ambulatory SurgiCare is to provide a holistic patient-centered specialist service for our patients. We strive to make our patient's visit an experience with minimal inconvenience, discomfort and also in a cost-effective manner. We also seek to educate our patients as we strongly believe that an informed patient will generally do better.

We perform many minimally invasive procedures including many ambulatory procedures with patients going home the same day. We do most of our surgeries as day surgery procedures with reduced hospital stays, discomfort and inconvenience. We also perform general Cancer Screening and endoscopies (gastroscopy and colonoscopy).

We also work very closely with specialists from other disciplines and paramedical staff such as speech therapists, dieticians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and psychologists. This is part of our effort and mission to provide a comprehensive and holistic medical care to our patients..

Our patients are a diverse group – while many of our patients are Singaporeans and expatriates, a significant number of our patients are international.  We see many international patients from Asia and from continents as far away as the Middle East, Africa, Europe and America. We can enlist and provide, if necessary, medical concierge services for our international patients.
What to expect
ASC is wheelchair friendly.
 
We generally seek to allocate a longer consultation with each new patient to fully diagnose and explain the condition to the patient. This is also dependant on the patient's medical condition. Our fees are generally within the guidelines set by the Singapore Medical Association. We accept all the major credit cards and cash. We do not however accept cheques.
 
We try and keep patients on schedule. However, there may be occasions when Dr See is called away on an emergency or performing surgery in another hospital. We would oftentimes try to call the patients to keep them informed and to make any necessary changes.
 
Should you require investigations done, blood testing, xray, CT scanning, MRIs are located within the hospital and medical centre complex.
 
Surgery
Should your patient require surgery, our clinic will make a booking for you. Depending on whether your patient need admission, he/she will be directed to on the day of the surgery; and have to be fasted for at least 6 hours.

You will need to be admitted at least 2 hours before the surgery start time. This will be given to you by the clinic administrator.  For day surgeries, patients are allowed to go home 4 hours after surgery has been performed once they are stable. For inpatient surgeries, patients will stay overnight in Novena Surgery.

 
Please bring all xrays and investigations along on the day of the surgery.
 
Insurance claims
Please advise your patient to bring in all forms to be completed. We will fill them for you as soon as possible.
