  Dr Jovina Goh

  Endocrinologist, Diabetologist and Specialist Physician

Your First Assessment
Dr Goh will take a detailed history of your symptoms and ask about previous illnesses and what medications you are on.  Part of history-taking includes asking questions about what you do for a living, who you live with or what support you have. You will also be asked about smoking, alcohol etc. There will be other questions about your health designed to add helpful information to diagnose what is causing your symptoms. Dr Goh will then examine you. She will explain to you the reason for the examination and then what tests or treatments are coming. You and your family can ask questions at any time during this assessment.

You may have ongoing follow-up with Dr Goh or have your treatment carried out by your GP with advice from the specialist.
