Finding the Right Medical Specialist

We have been getting enquiries on how and where to find recommended medical specialists. Although this might sound simple but it’s clear that many are confused and overwhelmed with the information out there on the internet. We hope to address the issue with this post.

Before you decide which specialist to see, you need to understand that for each medical specialty, you’ll find that it will have various sub-specialties within the specialty itself.

For example, ophthalmology (eye specialist) includes subspecialties which deal either with certain diseases or diseases of certain parts of the eye. Some of them are:

  • Anterior segment surgery 
  • Cataracts – not usually considered a subspecialty per se, since most general ophthalmologists perform cataract surgery 
  • Cornea, ocular surface, and external disease 
  • Pediatric ophthalmology/strabismus (misalignment of the eyes) 
  • Refractive surgery 
  • Vitreo-retinal surgery, deals with surgical management of retinal and posterior segment diseases and disorders. Medical retina and vitreo-retinal surgery sometimes 
  • together called posterior segment sub-specialisation. 

Subdisciplines of plastic surgery may include: 

  • Aesthetic surgery or cosmetic surgery 
  • Craniofacial surgery 
  • Reconstructive surgery 
  • Hand surgery 
  • Microsurgery 
  • Pediatric plastic surgery
