Dr Ananda Vella is an orthopaedic surgeon at OrthoCare, based at Mount Elizabeth Novena Specialist Centre on Irrawaddy Road in Novena, Singapore, with a Google rating of 5.0 from 322 reviews. An orthopaedic surgeon treats problems of bones, joints, muscles and ligaments, from sports injuries to joint wear and fractures. A useful first visit usually starts with a clear account of when the problem began, what makes it better or worse, and what you have already tried, such as physiotherapy or scans. When choosing a surgeon, look for a plain explanation of the diagnosis, the options with their likely benefits and risks, and a realistic recovery timeline. Many patients find it helpful to ask whether surgery is needed now or whether a period of non-surgical treatment should come first.
