What ‘general surgery’ clinic owners actually face

01

A broad practice is hard to explain

'General surgeon' tells patients little. They search 'hernia surgery singapore' or 'breast lump', so each procedure needs its own clear page.

02

Cost and cover drive the decision

Patients want to know what's claimable under MediSave and their Integrated Shield Plan, and whether you're on their insurer's panel. Vague answers lose them.

03

Bariatric is a long decision

Weight-loss surgery patients research for months. They need content on eligibility, the process and life after surgery, without before/after photos.

Compliance for General Surgery

The regulatory framework

HCSA advertising rules and SMC's Ethical Code apply: no testimonials, before/after or after-only images, superlatives, outcome promises or inducements. 'General surgeon' only for doctors on the Specialist Register in General Surgery, with subspecialty work described as an area of practice. Weight-loss surgery ads also face Google and Meta weight-loss policies, including age targeting limits and no before/after imagery.

FAQ

Common questions from general surgery clinic owners

How do we market bariatric surgery without before/after photos?+

By explaining the pathway: who it may suit, the assessment, the team involved, the operation and follow-up care. That is what patients researching for months actually want to read.

Can we publish our surgical fees?+

Plain fee information is allowed and helps patients plan. Discounts, packages framed as promotions and 'free consult' offers aren't. We help you present fees accurately.
