He was a consultant in hip and knee surgery at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH) and is currently a visiting consultant there.

Dr Yeoh graduated from the University of Edinburgh, UK and did his master’s degree at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Subsequently, he became a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, UK. He was awarded the Health Manpower Development Plan Award to pursue his special interest in hip and knee reconstruction surgery at the Mater Hospital and North Sydney Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine Centre, Australia. During his time there, he received training in joint replacement surgeries of the hip and knee, revision hip and knee surgery as well as various arthroscopic joint preservation procedures.
