Alpine Surgical Practice

At Alpine Surgical Practice, we provide comprehensive consultations and treatments for a full range of General Surgical and Abdominal conditions.

Our Focus: Preventing Colorectal Cancer Early

At Alpine Surgical Practice, our mission is clear — to detect and treat colorectal conditions early, before they progress into something more serious. Led by Dr Aaron Poh, a specialist in colorectal surgery, we focus on early screening, safe intervention, and long-term protection.

1. Early Detection through Colonoscopy

Dr Poh is a strong advocate for early and regular colonoscopy screening, especially for individuals aged 45 and above or those with a family history of colorectal cancer. A colonoscopy allows us to spot and remove polyps before they turn into cancer.

2. Advanced Endoscopic Treatment

We offer advanced procedures such as Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) to remove complex polyps safely, reducing the need for major surgery — and colonic stenting to manage obstructed cancers without an emergency stoma.

3. Expertise in Minimally Invasive Colorectal Surgery

When surgery is needed, Dr Poh specialises in laparoscopic (keyhole) colorectal cancer surgery, helping patients recover faster, with less pain and scarring. He also manages anal conditions such as haemorrhoids, fistulas, fissures, and abscesses.
