Prior to entering private practice, Dr Lee was a senior consultant and head of the Department of Cardiology at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital in Singapore. He was also the director of the hospital’s Cardiovascular Centre, the lead in pacing and cardiac electrophysiology, and the former director of their Coronary Care Unit.
