Where they practise
- Clinic / practice: Orthopaedics International (Sports Medicine) — Camden Medical Centre, Orchard Boulevard
Getting to the clinic
Dr Patrick Goh practises with Orthopaedics International (Sports Medicine) at Camden Medical Centre, on Orchard Boulevard. The nearest MRT is Orchard Boulevard station on the Thomson-East Coast Line (TE13), a short walk away, with Orchard station on the North-South Line (NS22) and Thomson-East Coast Line (TE14) also within reach for those connecting from other lines. The walk from Orchard Boulevard station is convenient for patients who would prefer to avoid a long approach on foot.
Buses serve Orchard Boulevard and the nearby stretch of Orchard Road, and taxis or ride-hailing services can set you down at the Camden Medical Centre entrance close to the lifts. The building, in the Orchard area, provides a paid visitor carpark for those driving; the Orchard district is busy, so allow extra time during weekends and peak hours, and consider dropping a less mobile patient at the door before parking.
What regenerative and injection therapies cover
Dr Goh’s practice focuses on the non-surgical evaluation and treatment of sports and musculoskeletal injuries, including point-of-care musculoskeletal ultrasound, extracorporeal shockwave therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection treatments. These approaches aim to manage pain and support tissue healing without surgery.
- Musculoskeletal ultrasound used at the point of care to assess injuries and to guide injections accurately.
- Extracorporeal shockwave therapy, applied to certain tendon and soft-tissue conditions.
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, prepared from a patient’s own blood and used in selected conditions.
- Assessment and conservative management of sports and musculoskeletal injuries more broadly.
- Injury rehabilitation and activity advice alongside any procedure.
These office-based therapies sit between simple conservative care and surgery. They are used selectively, based on the diagnosis and the individual, and are usually combined with rehabilitation rather than used alone. Image guidance with ultrasound helps ensure injections are placed precisely.
What to expect at a consultation
A consultation begins with a detailed history of your symptoms, how the problem started, your activities and any previous treatment. This helps establish whether an injection or other procedure is appropriate or whether other measures should come first.
A focused examination assesses the affected area, strength, movement and stability. Point-of-care ultrasound may be used during the visit to look at the structures involved, and other imaging such as MRI may be arranged if needed. You will then discuss the diagnosis and options. If a procedure such as shockwave therapy or a PRP injection is suitable, the doctor will explain what it involves, the expected course, and how it fits with rehabilitation, so you can make an informed decision.
Preparing for your appointment
- Photo identification, and any GP or polyclinic referral letter.
- Previous records, scans and reports relating to the injury.
- A current medication and supplement list, including any blood thinners, which can be relevant to injection treatments.
- A written list of symptoms and questions.
- Clothing that allows easy access to the affected area for examination, ultrasound or injection.
- A note of your activity or training load if an overuse injury is involved.
After your consultation and follow-up
You should leave understanding the diagnosis and plan, including what to expect after any procedure performed. Reports from imaging are usually available within a few days. Injection and shockwave treatments often involve a course or a review to assess response, and recovery is supported by rehabilitation, so follow-up visits are common. Continuity of care allows the doctor to judge how well the tissue is responding and whether further treatment is needed.
You may seek a second opinion at any time. After an injection, seek urgent attention for spreading redness, increasing swelling, fever or severe pain, which could indicate a complication, and for any sudden inability to use the limb.
Booking, referrals and fees
As a private specialist, Dr Goh can usually be seen without a referral, though a GP or polyclinic letter may help with continuity and with subsidies if you are later directed to public services. For eligible procedures, MediSave, MediShield Life and Integrated Shield Plans may apply within set limits, while consultations and some elective injection treatments are generally out of pocket. As coverage depends on your plan and the specific procedure, confirm fees and claimable items with the clinic in advance.
Common questions
What is a PRP injection?
Platelet-rich plasma is prepared from a sample of your own blood and injected into an injured area in selected conditions, with the aim of supporting healing. Suitability is assessed case by case.
Why is ultrasound used during the consultation?
Point-of-care ultrasound lets the doctor assess soft-tissue structures and guide injections accurately to the intended target.
Is shockwave therapy painful?
Some people feel discomfort during treatment, but it is generally well tolerated. The doctor will explain what to expect for your specific condition.
Will I still need rehabilitation if I have an injection?
Usually yes. These treatments are typically combined with a rehabilitation programme rather than used on their own.
