Medicine

Medicine, with hospitality.

I didn't choose medicine. But I'm very, very fortunate that I get to practise it, and I want every patient to feel the way I did at those grand hotel doors: like the most important person in the world.

How I practise

One patient at a time.

From the emergency room to my own clinics, one patient at a time, using technology to enhance the experience of both patients and staff. The provision of continuing, comprehensive and collaborative care for every single patient.

Leaning into my emergency medicine experience, and realising there was a hugely underserved population, I became one of the few certified maritime physicians in Singapore, providing specialised statutory examinations and maritime medical consultations to seafarers on vessels, in shipyards, at the clinics and in the ports of Singapore.
