Dr. Eugene Lim Ui Chong

Dr Eugene Lim obtained his basic medical degree and his postgraduate qualification in Internal Medicine in 1990 and 1996 respectively from NUS.  After undergoing Rheumatology training at TTSH leading to specialty accreditation in 2000, he left for private practice.  He pioneered Rheumatology’s interest in musculoskeletal ultrasound in Singapore, and pursued further training leading to certification as a EULAR musculoskeletal ultrasound trainer, and as a World Institute of Pain (WIP)-certified interventional pain sonologist. He also underwent a fellowship programme with the Pain School International, equipping him with skills for interventional pain management and regenerative therapy, to more effectively treat neuro-musculoskeletal pain and degenerative conditions such as Osteoarthritis, with the triune aim to “Relief, Restore, Rejuvenate!”

His management philosophy, “Fast and Furious, Treat to Target, with Whatever It Takes”, characterises his approach to the Inflammatory Arthritides and Autoimmune/Autoinflammatory Diseases. He considers point-of-care ultrasound as key to early diagnosis, and to guide therapeutic intervention. He advocates aggressive timely treatment to arrest inflammation, thereby preventing damage and disability. He seeks to partner his patients in clarifying their treatment goals, jointly developing individualised treatment strategies, and harnessing available resources to optimise their health outcomes.
