About Dr Teo Beng Tiong
Consultant Neurosurgeon & Spine Surgeon
Dr Teo Beng Tiong is a Consultant Neurosurgeon & Spine Surgeon with a specialist practice centred on cervical and lumbar spine surgery. He is a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) and International Faculty in Cervical Disc Arthroplasty, with particular expertise in motion-preserving cervical surgery, cervical myelopathy, microsurgical techniques and minimally invasive cervical and lumbar procedures.
His professional positioning combines neurosurgical training, high-volume cervical and lumbar surgical experience, and a technology-led approach to selecting the most appropriate procedure for each patient.
Surgical Experience & Specialist Volume
Dr Teo has performed more than 4,000 spine surgeries and procedures, including more than 2,000 cervical spine surgeries and more than 2,000 lumbar surgeries and procedures.
His practice spans cervical disc disease, cervical myelopathy and spinal cord compression, lumbar slipped disc, sciatica, spinal stenosis, decompression, disc replacement, fusion and selected minimally invasive procedures.
A major clinical strength is the use of minimally invasive and microsurgical approaches where they can achieve the required decompression or stabilisation without unnecessary tissue disruption.
Cervical Disc Arthroplasty Leadership
Dr Teo is a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) and International Faculty in Cervical Disc Arthroplasty. This should be treated as a central professional differentiator. Cervical disc replacement is not simply another item in a treatment list; it is a signature area in which his expertise, teaching role and cervical surgical experience should be clearly recognised.
His cervical practice also includes cervical myelopathy and spinal cord decompression, ACDF / fusion and laminoplasty. The ability to assess motion-preserving and fusion options supports a procedure-neutral discussion based on anatomy, stability, alignment and neurological needs.

A Patient-Focused Treatment Philosophy
Patients often arrive without knowing the diagnosis. They may simply know that the shoulder hurts, the fingers are numb, pain runs from the buttock down the leg, or walking has become difficult.The consultation begins by connecting those symptoms with neurological examination and imaging.
Treatment may range from non-surgical care and targeted procedures to minimally invasive or open surgery depending on the problem.
The objective is not to recommend the most complex treatment. It is to identify the option that is most appropriate for the patient’s neurological condition, anatomy, functional needs and treatment goals.
