Seeing a Urologist in Johor from Singapore
Consultant urologist Dato’ Dr Azhar Amir Hamzah sees patients from Singapore at Kensington Hospital Johor in Iskandar Puteri, a short drive across the Second Link.
Why patients from Singapore see Dato’ Dr Azhar
Many Singapore residents cross into Johor for specialist care because appointments are often available within days. Dato’ Dr Azhar is a consultant urologist with FRCS (Urology) Glasgow who treats kidney stones, prostate problems, high PSA, men’s health concerns and children’s urology himself. Consultations are in English, and you can send your reports on WhatsApp before you travel.

Kensington Hospital Johor in Taman Nusa Indah, Iskandar Puteri is the closest of Dato’ Dr Azhar’s clinics to the Second Link. After immigration, the drive is usually under 30 minutes, depending on traffic.

From the Johor Bahru checkpoint, Kensington Hospital Johor is about 20 to 30 minutes by car or taxi, and Hospital Penawar in Pasir Gudang is about 30 minutes.
