THE IMPORTANCE OF COMPASSION AND COMMUNICATION BY DR NICHOLAS YEO

Technical expertise alone does not define a great Orthopaedic Specialist. Compassion, empathy, and excellent communication skills are vital. Patients often entrust their mobility, and their quality of life, to their surgeon. Demonstrating genuine understanding, addressing concerns, and guiding patients through treatment plans builds trust and enhances outcomes. This human connection is what transforms a surgeon into a healer.

Dr Nicholas Yeo emphasizes that a good Orthopaedic Specialist goes beyond technical expertise, incorporating compassion and communication into patient care.
