About Us
Dr Eric Wee's Gastroenterology practice at Mount Elizabeth Novena (Singapore) treats individuals with digestive, bowel and liver problems. The medical team at Nobel Gastroenterology Centre is helmed by Dr Wee, a Senior Consultant and Specialist in Gastroenterology and Hepatology.
Our Gastroenterology practice aims to deliver quality and affordable care to all patients. We offer comprehensive consultations and targeted treatments that are highly personalized, and tailored to the specific needs of the individual.
Nobel Gastroenterology Centre at Mount Elizabeth Novena is equipped with the Carbon-13 Urea Breath Test (UBT) to test for H.pylori, and a FibroScan 530 machine for the assessment of liver disease.
The Carbon-13 UBT machine detects Helicobacter Pylori, a bacteria commonly associated with gastric pain, indigestion, bloating, ulcers and stomach cancer. Unlike the Carbon-14 UBT which is radioactive, our test is free of radiation and safe for pregnant women.
The Fibroscan is a painless test, which measures the amount of liver fibrosis (liver stiffness). Vital information that is obtained from this test allows our specialist to decide on the most appropriate treatment. In addition, our machine is able to quantify the amount of liver fat using the Controlled Attenuation Parameter technology.
This assessment is useful in individuals with liver problems, and is performed during the FibroScan at no additional cost.
The following procedures are performed by our specialist:
-
Colonoscopy with Polyp Removal
-
Gastroscopy, Oesophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (OGD)
-
Endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of Bile Duct Stones
-
Small Intestine Endoscopy and Wireless Capsule Endoscopy
-
Endoscopic screening and treatment of Gastrointestinal Cancers (oesophagus, stomach, pancreas and colon)
(Our endoscopic procedures can be paid using Medisave. If you have corporate insurance, personal insurance or a Medishield plan, do inform our staff, so that we may apply for a letter of guarantee (LOG) to cover the cost of the procedure.)
Health Screening
Adopting a healthy lifestyle and health screening are good ways to prevent illnesses and to stay fit. We offer screening endoscopy for Stomach Cancer, Barrett’s Oesophagus, Gastric Intestinal Metaplasia, Colorectal Cancer and Colon Polyps at competitive prices.
You can also opt for a Digestive and Liver health screening that is customized to your specific risks, after a consultation with our Gastroenterologist.
