Dr Evan Woo graduated from National University of Singapore (NUS) in 1998. In 2001, he was awarded the Ministry of Manpower award, and later obtained his Master of Medicine in Surgery from NUS and MRCS from the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh in 2004. He went on to earn his certificate of Specialist Accreditation in Plastic Surgery in 2010.
Currently, he is one of a handful of surgeons in Singapore being able to offer both the full range of options in breast cancer removal (lumpectomy/ breast conservation surgery/oncoplastic breast surgery), and the full gamut of reconstruction options after both breast removal or breast conservation surgery (including use of perforated flap-free tissue transfer). This ensure a truly integrated and comprehensive breast surgery practice.
In spite of his busy practice, Dr Woo regularly commits time to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital as a visiting consultant where remains actively involved in research and teaching. He is dedicated to imparting his skills to new generations of surgeons and is an active member of the hospital’s Breast Cancer Multidisciplinary Tumour Board. He is an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School and is passionate about the education of breast reconstruction, which is why he founded Breast Reconstruction Awareness Singapore.
Dr Woo has a special clinical interest in surgery for breast cancer, lymphoedema and breast oncoplastic surgery.
