A neutral, editorial directory of notable urologists practising in Singapore, grouped by sub-specialty to help you find the right expertise. This is not a ranking and not a paid listing.
How we compiled this directory
We list established, currently-practising urologists with a clear public professional footprint, chosen to cover the main areas of urinary tract and men’s and women’s urological care — not by who pays. Profiles are compiled from public sources and we omit ratings and prices, which we cannot independently verify. This is an independent editorial selection, not an advertisement — see our editorial policy. Always verify a doctor’s current registration on the SMC public register and choose based on your own needs, your GP’s referral and your insurance.

How to choose
- Match the sub-specialty to your problem — a uro-oncologist for prostate/kidney/bladder cancer, an endourology specialist for kidney stones, a men’s-health/andrology specialist for ED, low testosterone or fertility, a female/reconstructive urologist for incontinence and prolapse, or a paediatric urologist for children.
- Don’t ignore red flags — blood in the urine, a testicular lump, or difficulty passing urine should be assessed promptly.
- Check registration on the SMC register and confirm fees; a GP referral helps with subsidised care.
- Costs — many urological procedures (e.g. stone surgery, prostate surgery, vasectomy) are MediSave-claimable; see using MediSave.

What a urologist treats and when to see one
A urologist manages conditions of the urinary tract in both men and women, as well as the male reproductive system — including kidney stones, urinary tract cancers, prostate problems, incontinence and pelvic floor disorders, men’s health and fertility concerns, and urological conditions in children. Many urinary symptoms are first assessed by a GP, who can refer you when specialist testing or treatment is needed. A referral is usually appropriate for recurrent stones, an enlarged prostate, suspected cancer, persistent incontinence, or fertility and sexual health concerns.
What to look for when choosing a urologist in Singapore
- Registration and accreditation — confirm the doctor is registered with the Singapore Medical Council and listed on the Register of Specialists for urology.
- Subspecialty fit — match the doctor to your problem, since urology spans uro-oncology, kidney stones and endourology, men’s health, female and reconstructive urology, and paediatric urology.
- Hospital affiliation and facilities — some procedures, such as robotic or minimally invasive surgery, depend on the equipment available at the clinic or hospital.
- Experience — ask how often the surgeon performs the specific procedure being considered.
Public and private urological care
In the public system you are usually referred by a GP or polyclinic to a hospital urology department, with means-tested subsidies for eligible Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents. Private care allows you to choose your specialist, generally at higher cost. For ongoing conditions, follow-up can sometimes be shared between your urologist and GP.
Costs and financing
Many urological procedures, such as kidney stone surgery, prostate surgery and vasectomy, can be supported by MediSave or MediShield Life within set limits, and private insurance may also apply. Limits and eligibility depend on the procedure and setting, so confirm the details with your surgeon and insurer beforehand. Keep itemised cost estimates to support any claims.
Questions to ask at your first consultation
- What is causing my symptoms, and what tests do I need?
- What are my treatment options, including non-surgical alternatives?
- What are the risks, recovery time and success rate of any recommended procedure?
- What will it cost, and which parts may be claimable?
Common questions
Do I need a referral to see a urologist?
For subsidised care at a public hospital you generally need a referral from a polyclinic or GP. In the private sector a referral is not always required but helps your specialist understand your history.
When should I see a doctor about urinary symptoms?
Blood in the urine, a testicular lump, or difficulty passing urine should be assessed promptly so that serious causes can be ruled out.
Are urological surgeries claimable under MediSave?
Many procedures can be supported by MediSave or MediShield Life within set limits. The exact amount depends on the procedure, so ask your clinic for an estimate before proceeding.
