Getting to the clinic
Dr Ronny Tan sees patients across several Parkway medical centres and at Farrer Park Medical Centre, so the most convenient location depends on which clinic your appointment is booked at. For the Mount Elizabeth Orchard site, the nearest station is Orchard MRT (NS22/TE14); from there it is a short walk or taxi up Mount Elizabeth Road. Gleneagles is on Napier Road, served by Napier MRT (TE12) and Orchard Boulevard MRT (TE13), although many patients find a taxi or ride-hailing drop-off at the main entrance the simplest option. Parkway East Medical Centre in Katong is reached via Eunos or Dakota MRT plus a feeder bus, or by taxi. Farrer Park Medical Centre at Connexion sits directly above Farrer Park MRT (NE8), with sheltered access into the building.
All of these are private medical centres or hospitals with paid visitor carparks on site, so driving is practical if you prefer; allow extra time during clinic peak hours. Taxi stands and ride-hailing pick-up points are clearly marked at each main lobby. If mobility is a concern, ask the clinic in advance which entrance has the most direct lift access to the consultation floor, and confirm the exact unit number when you book so you arrive at the right tower.
What men’s health and andrology covers
Andrology and men’s health is the branch of urology focused on male reproductive and sexual function. Dr Tan’s stated interests include erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, low testosterone, male subfertility, Peyronie’s disease and prosthetic urology such as penile implants and artificial urinary sphincters. He also manages benign prostate enlargement (BPH) and urinary tract stones. These conditions range from common and manageable with medication or lifestyle change, through to those that benefit from surgery.
- Erectile dysfunction and sexual medicine, where the cause may be vascular, hormonal, neurological or psychological.
- Low testosterone, which can affect energy, mood, libido and fertility, and is assessed with blood tests before any treatment.
- Male subfertility, including assessment of sperm quality and the conditions that affect it.
- Prosthetic urology, such as penile implants and artificial urinary sphincters for selected patients after other options have been considered.
- BPH and urinary stones, which affect flow, comfort and kidney health.
What to expect at a consultation
A first visit usually begins with a detailed history covering your symptoms, how long they have been present, general health, medications and any previous treatment. For men’s health concerns the conversation may include questions about sexual function, libido and fertility goals; these are routine and confidential. A focused physical examination follows where appropriate. Investigations such as blood tests for hormones, a urine test, ultrasound or a uroflow study may be arranged to clarify the picture. The aim of the first consultation is to reach a working diagnosis and outline the realistic options, from conservative measures to medication or surgery.
Preparing for your appointment
Bring your photo identification (NRIC or passport), and any referral letter from a GP or polyclinic if you have one. Collect previous records, scans and test results, particularly any recent blood tests, semen analyses or imaging. Prepare an up-to-date list of all medications and supplements, including doses. Write down your main symptoms, when they started and what makes them better or worse, along with the questions you most want answered. If fertility is the concern, noting your partner’s relevant history can help. A short written summary often makes the consultation more productive.
After your consultation and follow-up
After the visit you will usually be given a plan and, where tests were ordered, a timeframe for results. Some results are available quickly while others take a few days; the clinic will advise how you will receive them. Treatment may begin straight away or after results return, and a review visit is common to check progress and adjust the plan. If a procedure is recommended, the clinic will explain what it involves and arrange scheduling. You are always entitled to seek a second opinion before proceeding. Seek urgent care for severe pain, an inability to pass urine, a persistent erection lasting several hours, fever with urinary symptoms, or blood in the urine.
Booking, referrals and fees
As a private specialist, Dr Tan can usually be seen without a referral, although a GP or polyclinic referral letter can be helpful and may be relevant for subsidies if you are later directed to a public clinic. For eligible procedures, MediSave, MediShield Life and Integrated Shield Plans may apply within set limits, while outpatient consultations are generally paid out of pocket. Coverage depends on your plan and the specific procedure, so confirm fees, claim limits and any pre-authorisation directly with the clinic before treatment.
Common questions
Is erectile dysfunction usually a sign of a deeper problem?
It can be. ED sometimes reflects vascular, hormonal or other underlying conditions, which is why a proper history, examination and tests are part of the assessment rather than treating the symptom alone.
Will discussing sexual or fertility issues be uncomfortable?
These topics are routine in andrology and are handled professionally and confidentially. Being open about your symptoms helps reach the right diagnosis.
Are penile implants a last resort?
Prosthetic options such as penile implants are considered for selected patients, typically when other treatments have not given satisfactory results. They are discussed in detail so you understand what is involved.
Do I need a referral to be seen?
Not usually for a private consultation, though a GP referral and your previous records can make the first visit more efficient and may matter for subsidised care elsewhere.
