Getting to the clinic
Dr Angeline Yong practises through Angeline Yong Dermatology at Gleneagles Medical Centre on Napier Road, with a hospital affiliation at Gleneagles Hospital. The medical centre sits in a quiet, leafy area on the Orchard and Tanglin fringe.
- By MRT: Napier MRT (TE12) on the Thomson–East Coast Line is the nearest station, with Orchard Boulevard MRT (TE13) also within reach; a short walk or taxi completes the journey.
- By bus: Services along Napier Road and Tanglin pass close to the hospital.
- By car or taxi: As the site is set back from the MRT network, a taxi or ride-hailing drop-off is often most convenient. Gleneagles provides a paid visitor carpark.
What dermatologic and Mohs surgery covers
Dr Yong’s stated focus is dermatologic surgery, Mohs micrographic surgery and skin cancer. This is the surgical side of dermatology, combining skin cancer treatment with reconstruction and other procedures. Common areas include:
- Mohs micrographic surgery, a precise technique for high-risk or facial skin cancers that checks margins during the procedure.
- Diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers and cutaneous reconstruction afterwards.
- Laser treatments for a range of skin concerns.
- Hair transplant surgery.
Mohs surgery is valued for clearing cancer while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible, which matters most on the face and other visible areas.
Dermatologic surgery combines the diagnosis of skin cancer with the technical skill to remove it and rebuild the area afterwards, so that the result is sound both medically and cosmetically. The most common skin cancers are highly treatable when caught early, and margin-controlled techniques help ensure complete removal in difficult locations. Beyond cancer, this field also includes laser treatments for a range of skin concerns and hair transplant surgery, each planned around the individual’s skin and goals. Careful assessment beforehand, and clear discussion of what recovery and scarring involve, are part of good surgical care.
What to expect at a consultation
A first visit usually begins with a history of the lesion or concern — how long it has been present, whether it changes, bleeds or itches — along with sun exposure and any previous skin cancers. The dermatologist examines the area, often with a dermatoscope, and may check the rest of the skin.
A biopsy may be taken to confirm the diagnosis before treatment is planned. The discussion then covers the options, including Mohs or standard excision, reconstruction, and what recovery and scarring may involve.
People understandably want to know how a treated area will look afterwards, particularly on the face, so it is reasonable to ask how the wound will be closed, what scarring to expect, and how long recovery takes. The goal is to clear the cancer fully while keeping the cosmetic and functional result as good as possible. A clear explanation before surgery helps you weigh the options and feel prepared, and any laser or hair restoration treatment is similarly discussed in terms of realistic outcomes and the number of sessions likely to be needed.
Preparing for your appointment
- Photo identification and any referral letter, if you have one.
- Previous biopsy results, histology reports or records of earlier skin treatment.
- A list of current medications and supplements, including any blood-thinning medicines.
- A note of when you first noticed the lesion and how it has changed.
- Details of your sun exposure history, which is relevant to skin cancer risk.
After your consultation and follow-up
After surgery, follow-up covers wound healing, suture removal where needed, and histology results confirming the cancer has been fully removed. Because some people develop further skin cancers, ongoing skin checks are often advised.
Reports and results are shared at review visits, and continuity of care supports long-term monitoring. Seeking a second opinion is reasonable for any cancer diagnosis. Seek earlier review if a treated area becomes increasingly red, painful or discharges, or if a new or changing lesion appears.
Booking, referrals and fees
As a private specialist, Dr Yong can usually be seen without a referral, though a GP or polyclinic referral may help with subsidies at public clinics. MediSave, MediShield Life and Integrated Shield Plans may apply to eligible surgical procedures within set limits, while cosmetic treatments and routine consultations are usually out of pocket. Confirm current fees and any coverage with the clinic before proceeding.
Common questions
What is Mohs surgery?
Mohs micrographic surgery removes skin cancer in stages, checking the margins under the microscope during the procedure so that as little healthy tissue as possible is removed while ensuring the cancer is cleared.
Which skin cancers is Mohs used for?
It is often chosen for high-risk cancers and those on the face or other cosmetically and functionally important areas, though suitability is assessed individually.
Will I need reconstruction after surgery?
Depending on the size and site of the wound, the area may be closed directly or reconstructed; this is planned and explained as part of your treatment.
How often should I have my skin checked afterwards?
People who have had a skin cancer are usually advised to have regular skin checks, with the interval depending on individual risk.
