10 Years of Vascular Care in Singapore

10 Years of Vascular Care in Singapore - A Personal Reflection

Today marks my 10-year work anniversary in Singapore. It has been an incredible decade — one that I am deeply grateful for.

My journey here began in 2015 at the National University Hospital, where I had the privilege of training and working alongside exceptional colleagues in vascular, endovascular and aortic surgery. Those formative years shaped my clinical practice, my values, and my commitment to evidence-based, patient-centred cardiovascular care.

Life grew even richer in 2017 with the birth of my daughter, a moment that brought new purpose and grounded everything I do. In 2020, I completed my PhD at the National University of Singapore and served as an Associate Professor of Surgery — a period of growth that deepened my appreciation for education, research and mentorship.

In 2023, my wife and I celebrated our 10-year wedding anniversary, and I entered a new chapter in my professional life by transitioning into private practice. Over these years, I have continued to care for patients with the same dedication that guided me from the beginning — treating the full spectrum of venous, arterial and aortic conditions, and supporting individuals and families through some of their most difficult moments.

Most recently, in 2025, I was honoured to serve as an examiner for the European Board of Vascular Surgery, a role that reflects both personal growth and my commitment to contributing to the training and standards of our specialty.

To my colleagues, friends, and every patient who has placed their trust in me over the past decade: thank you. It has been an honour to care for this community and to contribute to Singapore’s vascular health landscape.

I look forward to the years ahead, continuing this journey with all of you.
