Nexus Surgical focuses on diagnosing and treating general and complex surgical conditions, especially digestive cancers while emphasizing on modern surgical treatments and minimally invasive surgery.
Nexus Surgical aligns our clinical & administrative quality standards with Joint Commission International (JCI) and Institute of Healthcare Improvement (IHI), in addition to the Ministry of Health healthcare quality standards.
Dr Liau is an accredited surgeon with subspecialty expertise in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of hepatobiliary and pancreatic disorders especially in surgical oncology (cancer surgery) and management of patients with these complex cancers. Dr Liau believes that life as a surgeon and a doctor give him the daily opportunity to witness the triumph and tragedy of life. As he provides comfort, medical advice, treatment and surgery to his patients, he finds strength, fulfillment and reassurance in his work.
Dr Liau graduated from the National University of Singapore in 1994 and obtained his postgraduate surgical degree in 1998. The same year, he was admitted to the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in the Specialty of General Surgery. In 2003, he was conferred the Fellowship by both the Academy of Medicine (Singapore) and International College of Surgeons (USA). Dr Liau is a member of the Society for Surgery of Alimentary Tract (SSAT) and International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (IHPBA).
Prior to establishing his private practice, Dr Liau was the Chief of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery Unit in the Department of General Surgery from 2004 to 2010. He was the Deputy Head of Department of General Surgery, Tan Tock Seng Hospital from 2008 to 2010. Currently, Dr Liau serves in the council of Asian-Pacific Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association and College of Surgeons, Singapore. Given his keen involvement in the care of patients with neuroendocrine tumors, Dr Liau was elected to the executive committee of the Carcinoid & Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (CNETs).
Dr Liau has a research interest in surgical treatment and palliation of hepatobiliary cancers, in particular, hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder carcinoma and pancreatic carcinoma. This group of patient care is particularly challenging, as patients face both high recurrence and mortality. He has also dedicated significant effort to understand molecular basis and novel management of liver and pancreatic cancers. Besides serving in the editorial board for the Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery and Singapore Medical Journal, Dr Liau is part of the peer review committee in the National Medical Research Council.
His other significant area of interest is surgical education. He sits in the Surgical Residency Advisory Committee in Ministry of Health, developing graduate training programmes that provide surgical education and new areas in training to the surgical trainees. In addition, he serves as a senior clinical lecturer in facilitating clinical & bioethics teaching and training at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore.
Dr Liau counts renowned haematologist Professor Han Ping and eminent surgeon Professor Low Cheng Hock as his mentors. The former helped him discover the meaningful human interaction in medicine while the latter inspired and shaped his surgical preferences and aspiration. Trained in Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre in New York City, USA, Dr Liau brings with him an acute perception and systematic approach to problem solving and operative techniques. Being part of a global collaborative hepato-pancreato-biliary professional community, it facilitates Dr Liau in providing evidence-based approach to cancer treatment.
Beneath the youthful and cheerful disposition which Dr Liau is commonly known to his patients, he is a professional, confident and efficient surgeon who has a proven ability to work independently as well as in a team. Dr Liau was the recipient of the 2008 and 2009 Star Excellent Service Awards. In 2009, the Singapore Public Service honoured Dr Liau with PS21 Star Service Award for having gone beyond the call of duty to deliver excellent service to his patients. In recognition to his service to Emirate patients, he was presented with the Embassy of United Arab Emirates Medal.
His other passion in life other than medicine is to experience and enjoy nature and to meet and interact with people from across the world. In addition, Dr Liau is an advocate of rendering medical expertise and transferring of surgical skills to the third world and developing countries. For that, he serves as a volunteer doctor and teacher to neighbouring Indonesia. He believes that his community involvement with the less fortunate people give him invaluable experience in dealing with many different life issues as well as the confidence to help others.
