Our Team

I am a Malaysian Chinese. I migrated to New Zealand and completed my medical degree at the University of Otago in 2000. I have paramount passion and enthusiasm in medicine. I obtained the fellowship in both RACP and FRNZCGP and have broad experiences in all aspects of internal medicine and general practice. I have a special interest in child health and palliative care. I am also specialised in adult internal medicine with a subspecialty in older person health. My career goal is to provide high-quality care to patients in the community. I enjoy playing guitar with my family when I have the spare time.
