Professional Background

Dr Natalia Sutiman is a medical doctor whose approach to care is shaped by her background in both pharmacy and clinical research. She earned her Doctor of Medicine from Duke-NUS Medical School. Prior to that, she worked as a pharmacist at Tan Tock Seng Hospital and in Clinical Pharmacology research with SingHealth, where she contributed to clinical trials, therapeutic drug monitoring and genomics studies.

Her medical training spans rotations across multiple disciplines at Singapore's major hospitals, including Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine at Singapore General Hospital, Paediatric Medicine at KK Women's and Children's Hospital, and primary care at SingHealth Polyclinics. This breadth of training equips her to care for patients across all ages and a wide range of conditions.

While her experience spans clinical medicine, pharmacy and research, Dr Natalia has always been drawn to the human aspects of patient care. She places great importance on listening with intention, communicating medical decisions with clarity, and working closely with her patients to support their long-term health.

Clinical Focus

Preventive Medicine

Proactive health strategies and screening to identify and address health risks early.

Acute & Chronic Care

Management of both immediate medical concerns and long-term health conditions.

Diagnostic Assessment

Careful evaluation of complex or evolving symptoms to guide a clearer diagnosis.

Women's Health

Comprehensive healthcare addressing the unique needs of women at every stage of life.

Research-Informed Care

A science-based approach shaped by published medical research and clinical experience.

Approach to Patient Care

Dr Natalia Sutiman

"I believe that good care starts with genuinely understanding each patient's concerns and circumstances. Having trained in both research and clinical medicine, I try to ensure that every treatment plan is grounded in evidence and suited to the individual."

Research & Publications

Before entering clinical practice, Dr Natalia built a research career spanning more than 400 citations in peer-reviewed journals. Her work in pharmacogenomics explored how genetic differences in Asian populations influence medication response, particularly across cancer and inflammatory disease treatments.
