Dr Theresa Yap is a family physician who graduated with MBBS from the National University of Singapore in 1978, and has accumulated 40 years of experience practicing at Yang & Yap Clinic & Surgery in Bedok.
She is known to be a warm and caring doctor, and feels that it is her duty to step up to help in this time of the pandemic. She strongly supports the use of Telemedicine and the Home Recovery Programme, so that the hospitals are not overwhelmed with cases that can safely be monitored at home.
The relief and gratitude that patients feel, when they know they are being cared within their homes, is palpable, even through their virtual devices. Her patients know that they are not alone, and that they have avenues through which they can seek help. This makes it all worthwhile.
