Dr Sujit Singh Gill is a vascular and general surgeon and Director of The Vascular & General Surgery Centre at Paragon Medical Suites in Singapore. He received his medical degree from the National University of Singapore, trained at Singapore General Hospital, obtained Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, and undertook further training at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth, Australia.
His main clinical interests are the minimally invasive treatment of venous, arterial and diabetes-related vascular disorders. The clinic offers endovenous techniques for varicose veins and spider veins, including radiofrequency ablation, sclerotherapy and VenaSeal closure, alongside conventional surgery.

Getting to the clinic
The Vascular & General Surgery Centre is based at Paragon Medical Suites at 290 Orchard Road. Paragon sits in the heart of the Orchard shopping belt and is well served by public transport. Orchard MRT (NS22/TE14) and Somerset MRT (NS23) are both within an easy walk, with sheltered pavements and mall links along Orchard Road.
- By MRT: alight at Orchard (NS22/TE14) or Somerset (NS23) and walk to Paragon at 290 Orchard Road.
- By bus: many services run along Orchard Road close to the building.
- By car or taxi: there is a taxi stand and drop-off at Paragon, with paid visitor parking in the mall car park.
If you have painful or swollen legs, a taxi or ride-hailing drop-off at the Paragon entrance keeps the walk to the medical suites short.
What varicose veins and venous disease covers
Dr Sujit Singh Gill’s stated focus is varicose veins and venous disease. Veins return blood from the legs to the heart, helped by one-way valves. When these valves fail, blood pools and pressure rises, producing varicose veins (bulging, rope-like veins), spider veins, aching, heaviness, swelling, skin changes around the ankle and, in advanced cases, venous leg ulcers. Venous disease is common and, while often a cosmetic concern, can also cause genuine discomfort and skin damage.
Modern treatment is largely minimally invasive. Endovenous techniques close the faulty vein from the inside, including radiofrequency ablation, while sclerotherapy injects a solution to close smaller veins and spider veins, and medical adhesive closure (such as VenaSeal) seals the vein with a glue. Conventional surgery still has a place for some patients. A vascular surgeon first confirms the source of the problem with an ultrasound scan, then tailors treatment to the pattern of vein disease and the patient’s symptoms.
What to expect at a consultation
A first visit begins with a history of your leg symptoms, how long they have been present, any previous clots or treatments, and factors such as pregnancy, prolonged standing at work or family history. The surgeon examines your legs standing up to see the veins under load, and a duplex ultrasound scan is usually performed to map which veins and valves are not working. This scan is painless and central to planning treatment.
The surgeon then explains the findings and the suitable options, from compression stockings and lifestyle measures to endovenous ablation, sclerotherapy, adhesive closure or surgery, along with what each involves and the expected recovery. Cosmetic and symptom goals are both considered.
Preparing for your appointment
- Photo identification and any GP or polyclinic referral letter.
- Previous records and any prior vein scans or treatment notes.
- A list of medications and supplements, including any blood thinners or hormonal treatment.
- Loose clothing or shorts so both legs can be examined and scanned easily.
- Any compression stockings you currently use.
- A written list of symptoms and questions, including any cosmetic concerns.
If you have had a previous deep vein thrombosis, mention it, as it affects how veins are treated.
After your consultation and follow-up
Many vein treatments are done as day procedures, after which you are usually encouraged to walk and may be advised to wear compression stockings for a period. The clinic will explain aftercare, including activity, and arrange a follow-up scan where needed to confirm the treated vein has closed. Some patients need more than one session, particularly for spider veins.
Continuity of care includes managing symptoms, supporting weight and activity, and watching for recurrence over time. You may seek a second opinion, particularly where treatment is elective. Seek urgent help if you develop a hot, swollen, painful calf, sudden breathlessness or chest pain, which can signal a deep vein clot or its complications, or if a leg ulcer becomes infected.
Booking, referrals and fees
As a private specialist, Dr Gill can usually be seen without a referral, though a GP or polyclinic letter is helpful and may assist with subsidies if you are referred to a public service. Consultations and scans are generally out of pocket, and purely cosmetic vein treatment is typically not claimable. For eligible procedures, MediSave, MediShield Life and Integrated Shield Plans may contribute within set limits depending on plan and indication. Confirm fees and coverage directly with the clinic.
Common questions
Are varicose veins just a cosmetic problem?
Not always. Many people have aching, heaviness, swelling or skin changes, and untreated venous disease can lead to ulcers. A scan helps tell whether treatment is advisable for symptoms as well as appearance.
What is the difference between varicose and spider veins?
Varicose veins are larger, bulging veins, while spider veins are fine surface vessels. They can occur together and are treated with different techniques, such as ablation for larger veins and sclerotherapy for spider veins.
Is treatment painful and how long is recovery?
Minimally invasive techniques are usually done under local anaesthetic with little downtime, and most people return to normal activity quickly. The surgeon will give advice specific to your treatment.
Will varicose veins come back after treatment?
Treated veins are closed, but new veins can develop over time. Staying active, managing weight and using compression as advised can help reduce recurrence.
