Profile

In my role as Hand and Reconstructive Microsurgeon in SGH, I solve complex surgical problems using advanced microsurgical techniques. Through my career, I am blessed with the mentorship of Professors Teoh Lam Chuan, Yong Fok Chuan, Duncan Angus McGrouther and Hung-Chi Chen. I furthered my skills in the prestigious Reconstructive Microsurgery fellowship in Chang Gung Memorial Hospital under the supervision of Professor Fu-Chan Wei. 

My expertise is in Trauma and Complex reconstruction including free transfer of functioning muscle, vascularized bone and joints, and vascularized nerves. These are major surgeries that give the best possible outcome in challenging situations.
