Singapore's Female Cardiologist
Women's hearts are different. Their care should be too.
Women's cardiac symptoms, fatigue, jaw pain, nausea, are frequently dismissed.
As a female cardiologist, Dr Chan brings both clinical expertise and lived understanding to every consultation.
Many patients, especially women, feel more comfortable discussing sensitive symptoms with a female doctor. Dr Chan combines elite cardiology training with a warm, unhurried approach that ensures nothing is dismissed.
The Difference Dr Chan Po Fun makes for her patients
Atypical presentations (fatigue, breathlessness, jaw pain) are taken seriously, not minimised.
Women's symptoms, recognised
Many patients prefer a female cardiologist for intimate health conversations. No judgement, no rush.

ABOUT DR CHAN PO FUN

I believe every patient deserves to understand exactly what's happening with their heart. I have a particular passion for women's heart health, because women's symptoms are so often different, dismissed, or missed entirely. My goal for every consultation is simple: you leave with clarity, a plan, and no unanswered questions."
