General surgery clinics in Jurong East (2026)

The general surgery services we verified in the Jurong East area are run at two NUHS sites. Ng Teng Fong General Hospital’s General Surgery department covers breast, thyroid, colorectal, upper GI, hepatobiliary, hernia, bariatric and vascular surgery. Jurong Medical Centre runs a General Surgery clinic and an Endoscopy Centre that takes direct GP referrals. Outpatient clinics run on weekdays.

Which general surgery clinics serve Jurong East?

Three services are listed here: the General Surgery department at Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, the General Surgery clinic at Jurong Medical Centre, and the Endoscopy Centre at Jurong Medical Centre. All three are part of the National University Health System.

The Endoscopy Centre has its own entry because GPs can refer patients to it directly, which is a different route from a surgical outpatient appointment. The list is ordered by distance from Jurong East. We have not yet confirmed Jurong Medical Centre’s street address on its own page, so treat its place in the list as approximate and check the NUHS website before you travel.

What does a general surgeon treat?

A general surgeon treats hernias, gallbladder and liver conditions, stomach and bowel problems, and breast and thyroid conditions. Many also perform endoscopy. Larger hospital departments split this work into subspecialty teams, so you may be seen by a surgeon who focuses on one area.

The table below shows the services Ng Teng Fong General Hospital lists on its General Surgery page, and which of them Jurong Medical Centre lists separately. The middle column is a general description to help you match a condition to a service.

When are the clinics open and where do you go?

Both general surgery clinics see outpatients on weekdays only, from 8.30am to 5.30pm. Ng Teng Fong General Hospital’s surgery clinic is closed on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. Both sites are large buildings, so note the clinic number and level before you arrive.

We have not yet verified the nearest MRT station or walking times for either site from their own pages, so they are not shown here. Use the directions page on each hospital’s website, or call the clinic, before your first visit.

Do you need a GP referral?

For an endoscopy at Jurong Medical Centre, your GP can refer you directly to its Endoscopy Centre. For other general surgery appointments, ask your GP or the clinic whether a referral letter is needed and whether you will be seen as a subsidised or private patient.

For a first surgical consultation, bring your referral letter if you have one, any scan or blood test results, a list of the medicines you take, and your NRIC. This helps the surgeon assess you without repeating tests. If you are referred for endoscopy, ask the centre how to prepare, as some procedures need fasting or bowel preparation.

How do you pay for general surgery?

None of the services listed publish general surgery fees on the pages we checked, so prices on this page are on enquiry. Ask the hospital for a written estimate and whether MediSave, MediShield Life or your Integrated Shield plan can be used for your procedure.

The final bill for an operation usually depends on the procedure, whether it is a day surgery case or needs a hospital stay, anaesthesia, and whether you are a subsidised or private patient. If you have company insurance or a private plan, check what it covers before admission, and ask whether your insurer needs to pre-authorise the procedure. We do not estimate any clinic’s prices.

How do you choose a general surgery clinic?

Start with your condition, then check that the clinic lists the matching service, that the surgeon is on the Singapore Medical Council register, and that the hours, location and payment options suit you. Ask clear questions before you agree to any procedure.

• Match the service to your condition. A hernia, a gallbladder problem and a breast lump are often handled by different subspecialty teams.
• Check the surgeon’s name on the Singapore Medical Council’s online register to see their registration and specialist accreditation.
• Ask whether keyhole surgery is an option for you, what recovery involves and how many follow-up visits to expect.
• Ask for a written cost estimate that shows how much MediSave or insurance may cover and what you pay in cash.
• Think about travel and timing. The clinics listed here run weekday hours only, so plan time off work for appointments and follow-ups.
• If you are unsure about a recommended operation, it is reasonable to ask for a second opinion.

Why does this list only show NUHS services?

We only list clinics whose details we could check against their own pages. So far, that is the services at two NUHS sites. Private general surgery clinics in Jurong East and the wider west will be added once their addresses, services and surgeons are verified.

Several private general surgeons came up during research, but their clinics are in central and eastern Singapore rather than the west, so they are not listed on this page. If you run a general surgery clinic in or near Jurong East, check that your website shows your address, services and hours clearly.
