Dr. Wilkinson Tan Yoong Jian

About

Dr. Wilkinson Tan Yoong Jian is an experienced Obstetrician and Gynaecologist with a focused practice in reproductive medicine and minimal access (keyhole) surgery at Alpha IVF & Women’s Specialists. He gained his specialist qualification from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (MRCOG) in the United Kingdom, completed a fellowship in Minimal Access Surgery in India, and earned a Master in Reproductive Medicine from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia — a programme well regarded in the Asia-Pacific region.

He is also a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG), making him credentialed across British, American and Australian postgraduate systems. At Alpha IVF he works across the full fertility pathway — from gynaecological diagnosis and surgical preparation through stimulation, retrieval and transfer — helping aspiring parents build a pregnancy plan that holds together end to end.

Clinical Expertise

• IVF full-cycle management and stimulation design: protocol selection and monitoring informed by his UNSW reproductive medicine training, covering stimulation, egg retrieval, embryo culture decisions and transfer timing
• Minimally invasive gynaecological surgery: laparoscopic management of endometriosis, ovarian cysts and hydrosalpinx, and hysteroscopic treatment of uterine cavity pathology, completed in India’s dedicated MAS fellowship programme
• PGT planning: embryo genetic screening strategies (PGT-A/PGT-M) for advanced-maternal-age patients and families with chromosomal or inherited disease history
• ICSI for male factor: precise fertilisation pathways — including the centre’s standard Piezo-ICSI technique — for severe oligo-asthenozoospermia or prior low fertilisation rates

Why Choose Dr. Wilkinson

Holding both MRCOG and FACOG is uncommon: the first certifies him against the UK Commonwealth standard that examines general obstetrics and gynaecology thoroughly, the second recognises achievement at American specialist level. For an infertility patient, that dual grounding means the surgeon and the reproductive physician evaluating a case are the same person, checked against two independent international standards.

His UNSW Master in Reproductive Medicine adds textbook depth — embryology, reproductive endocrinology, genetics and laboratory management — so he can explain not only what the next injection does but why the protocol was chosen, which suits first-cycle patients who want to understand every step. Combined with laparoscopic skills, he can judge whether a fibroid, cyst or damaged tube should be dealt with surgically before spending an IVF cycle, and sequence “surgery first, then transfer” without hand-offs. He consults in English, Chinese and Malay, easing care for local and Chinese-speaking international patients.

Certifications

• MRCOG, Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, UK
• FACOG, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, USA
• Master in Reproductive Medicine, University of New South Wales, Australia
• Fellowship in Minimal Access Surgery, India

Suitable For

• First-time IVF patients: couples who want one consultant — with formal reproductive medicine academic training — to run the assessment, stimulation, retrieval and transfer journey and explain each step’s rationale
• Gynaecological disease with infertility: fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis or tubal adhesions where the operate-first-or-proceed-to-IVF decision is best made by a doctor who performs both
• PGT-indicated families: advanced maternal age, recurrent miscarriage or inherited-condition histories where genetic screening of embryos changes the transfer plan
• Severe male factor infertility: low count, motility or morphology cases where ICSI — delivered as Piezo-ICSI at Alpha IVF — is the indicated fertilisation route
• English, Chinese or Malay speaking patients: trilingual consultation reduces explanation loss for Malaysian and international couples
