breast specialist

[cherrygal]

Besides the specialists, are there any good female GPs who can do a competent initial breast exam (feel for any lumps)?


KKH breast centre told me to approach any polyclinic or GP first then get a referral if I want a detailed screening.

No pain etc but just being kiasu…

Just to share, sometimes the "pain" (if coming from deep inside the breast, near the ribs etc) can be due to GERD - gastric reflux. I had that type of fleeting pain and even went for ultrasound, ECG for heart etc. Turned out it was GERD.


But get your breasts checked anyway once in 2 years. You need a mammogram if above 40yo.

A nice female GP that I have come across is Dr Carol Lim of First Medical at Sterling Road. But you would need to check her consultation hours because some sessions are run by another doctor. She did my first ever pap smear, and after so many years and 2 children later, I still go back to her for pap smear because I feel most comfortable with her. :imanangel:

Thanks so much … because one of my gf had experienced with a doc who gave her options… which she did not know what to do with the options… she would prefer a doc to tell her what’s the best way for her…rather than options … I prefer that too… because being a patient is already confused…
