There are some people who have this idea that you only go to a dermatologist for aesthetic concerns. While a dermatologist can definitely help you with cosmetic issues, such as revitalizing the appearance of your skin, hair, and nails, they can actually address medical concerns related to these parts of your body as well. Aside from the many years they spend in medical school and continuing education, they also undergo years of training to become a specialist, so you can trust their recommendations when it comes to dermatological concerns.
When choosing a dermatologist, you should consider things like qualifications, years of experience, and of course, skills. However, even if you take these things into consideration, you might still have a long list of dermatologists to choose from. Lucky for you, we have listed down some of the best dermatologists in Singapore.
Note: This list is strictly not in order.
1. Dr. Angeline Yong

Dr. Angeline Anning Yong is a doctor, humanitarian, teacher, and entrepreneur. Her passions have earned her plenty of titles and accolades throughout the 15 years she has been practicing medicine. However, there is a common thread through her pursuits – her unwavering commitment to her craft and patients. Dr Yong is the first Singaporean dermatologist to possess the required qualifications to become a member of the American College of Mohs Surgery.
Before she left for private practice, she was the only dermatologist in the National Skin Centre who was accredited to perform hair transplantation and Mohs Micrographic Surgery. Dr Yong also has full fellowships at different prestigious institutions in the United Kingdom, United States, and Korea where she underwent training in Cosmetic and Procedural Dermatology, Hair Transplantation Surgery, Mohs Micrographic Surgery, and Skin Cancers. After over 10 years in public service, Dr Yong brings her knowledge and experience to her own private practice.

I have been seeing Dr. Yong for a couple of years now and I always feel very comforted and supported under her care. Dr Yong is very patient and listens intently to her patient to understand their needs. I’ve found the treatment I’ve received to be very effective and her team is also very dedicated to providing great service!
Gerald Koh
Dr. Angeline Yong deserves more than 5 stars, for the exemplary way she handled my elderly Father’s skin cancer removal surgery. Her diagnosis was accurate and her surgical procedures careful and precise. My Father is 90 years old and his skin is very thin, yet he had very little pain during the surgery. He has since fully recovered. My family is very grateful my Father chose to see her. She is experienced, competent, calm and gentle with her hands. We highly recommend her to anyone who might need her services.

Doctor was knowledgeable and thorough in determining the cause of my skin problems. Had terrible widespread eczema flares that couldn’t be resolved for a long time even after visiting many skin specialists. Qualify of life was really bad. Dr Wong managed to recommend an appropriate course of treatment and helped my condition greatly.

Rin Rin Wong
I first saw Dr Lim when she was still practising at the National Skin Centre. Dr Lim is a little shy, and that is sometimes mistaken by others to be aloofness. After a while, you realise she is actually a very warm and kind person. She is of course also a very skilled doctor. She was spot on in treating my husband’s very bad acne problem. After seeing her over a period of several months more than 2 decades ago, my husband’s acne problem has been completely brought under control, and he has never had an outbreak since. Yes – “never” is the truth and not an exaggeration.
Sincere Yoo
A professional… and a very good dedicated and super experienced doctor.
