SHORT BIOGRAPHY
I'm Dr Tan Yia Swam, I'm a mother of three boys. I trained as a general surgeon, and worked in various restructured hospitals before leaving for private practice in May 2019, to have my own company "Breast Friend Surgery and Wellness". I see patients at Thomson Medical Centre (Thomson Breast Centre #03-03), and Mount Elizabeth Novena (Nexus Surgical #08-43). I advocate for breastfeeding, breast cancer screening, early detection and holistic wellness! I try to stay connected on social media, I post on Facebook and Instagram @breastfriendsurgery
