Patient Philosophy
Empathy
Dr. Lim strongly believes that personalized care is paramount and has built numerous lasting relationships with his patients and their loved ones. He considers his patients as family and treats them just as he would treat his own family members.
The most gratifying part of his work is seeing the tangible impact he has on the lives of his patients. Whether it's witnessing the joy of taking pain-free steps for the first time in years or experiencing the relief that comes with resolving limb-threatening issues, these moments capture the very essence of medicine for him.
Empowerment
Throughout his career, Dr. Lim has been more than just a surgeon; he has been a dedicated partner in his patients' health journeys.
He strives to equip his patients with a comprehensive understanding of their medical conditions. This not only informs but also empowers them to make the best possible choices for their health and well-being. He champions a collaborative approach, fostering a partnership with his patients where their shared commitment drives the pursuit of the most optimal outcomes.
Excellence
Dr. Lim's fascination with vascular surgery stems from the constant innovation in cutting-edge endovascular procedures, which offer immediate relief and life-altering outcomes through minimally invasive keyhole incisions.
Endovascular surgery is especially pertinent in Singapore, given its aging population and prevalent conditions like diabetes mellitus, end-stage renal failure, and peripheral vascular disease. These procedures offer a quick fix and faster recovery for frail patients who may otherwise be unfit for more invasive open surgeries. Over the years, Dr. Lim has consistently achieved a limb salvage rate of more than 90% for patients undergoing angioplasty and stenting — these rates rank among the best in the region.
