Dr Gerard Ee, aesthetic doctor in Singapore
Dr Gerard Ee is the Founder and Managing Director of The Clifford Clinic and The Clifford Surgery at 50 Raffles Place, Singapore. He has practised medical aesthetics since 2012 and brings surgical training, a postgraduate qualification in dermatology and an eye for natural results to every treatment.
Medical education and surgical background
Dr Ee graduated as a doctor from St George’s, University of London, with electives at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. He subsequently pursued surgical training at Singapore General Hospital and National University Hospital. Surgery gave him a detailed knowledge of facial anatomy, of how tissue heals and of how to avoid complications, and that discipline shapes every injection, laser treatment and procedure he performs. His research is published in peer-reviewed orthopaedic and surgical journals, listed on his publications page.
Postgraduate qualifications
- MRCS (Edinburgh)Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, 2012.
- Postgraduate Diploma in Practical DermatologyCardiff University, United Kingdom.
His dermatology training underpins his work in acne, acne scarring, pigmentation, eczema treatment and skin cancer screening, where an accurate diagnosis comes before any treatment.
Founder and Managing Director of The Clifford Clinic and The Clifford Surgery
Dr Ee founded The Clifford Clinic to bring medical aesthetics, dermatology and minor surgery together in Singapore’s financial district. The Clifford Surgery is an MOH approved ambulatory surgery centre, so procedures such as mole excision can be performed as a day surgery admission and claimed under insurance. As Managing Director he sets the clinic’s standards of care, chooses its technology and trains its team.
An eye for natural beauty
The best aesthetic result is one that nobody can point to. Friends notice that a patient looks fresher, more rested or more confident, but cannot say what has changed.
Natural beauty through science and art
The science is anatomy, pharmacology and the physics of lasers, radiofrequency and ultrasound. The art is the judgement of proportion and balance that decides where a millimetre of filler belongs. Dr Ee assesses the whole face before treating any part of it, restoring what time has taken and enhancing what is already there, never replacing a patient’s features with someone else’s.
A better version of yourself
Most patients do not want to look different. They want to look like themselves on a good day. Treating acne, scars, tired eyes or sagging skin well gives people more than a better complexion. It gives them self-confidence, and Dr Ee measures success by how patients feel as much as by how they look.
Ahead of global aesthetic trends
Dr Ee follows developments in aesthetic medicine across Korea, Japan, Europe and the United States. He trained personally with Dr Gun Young Ahn, the creator of AGNES RF, and has used AGNES since 2012. He has travelled to Korea to learn high-intensity focused ultrasound techniques from Korean doctors, and The Clifford Clinic was among the early adopters in Singapore of AGNES RF, AviClear and many other procedures. Every new treatment is judged on evidence before it is offered.
Lasting care for busy people
Many of Dr Ee’s patients work around Raffles Place. His treatment plans fit into a busy schedule, with minimal downtime and results that build naturally. He plans for the long term, with continuity of care from the same doctor at every visit, so patients look and feel their best consistently. His approach draws on medicine, science, technology and art together.
Longevity medicine, a whole-body approach
How the skin ages reflects how the whole body ages, and Dr Ee has extended his practice into longevity medicine. His longevity care covers diet and nutrition, sleep, sports medicine drawing on his orthopaedic surgical background, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, multi-cancer early detection (MCED) testing and lactate threshold testing, giving patients a measured picture of their health and fitness.

Personalised Service & Compelling Results
Dr Ee specialises in the latest non-invasive procedures which are much safer and cost-effective compared to more invasive procedures. Working subtly from the inside out, the gradual changes in skin contour and tone that these treatments effect will ultimately come to create the final symmetry and elegance of features that patients desire – all without excessive pain and need for hospitalisation.
A profound understanding of what patients truly desire
Dr Ee understands the importance of being able to connect deeply with his patients to learn what they truly want, whether they tell him willingly or otherwise. And when it comes to aesthetic quality, Dr Ee’s intimate understanding of the beauty standards of different ethnic backgrounds is an invaluable asset to his work. Over the years, Dr Ee has worked with patients from all ages and sexes; young women to become more beautiful, older women to look younger again and men looking to reclaim their crowning glory through modern hair transplant procedures.
