Dr Daphne Lee’s Clinical Expertise:

Dr Lee’s clinical interests include general endocrinology, e.g. diabetes mellitus, thyroid disorders, osteoporosis, and her subspecialty interest is in adrenal and pituitary conditions.

As she had a keen interest in diabetes and endocrinology, she worked as a Resident Physician at the Khoo Teck Puat Hospital Diabetes Centre for a year before starting speciality training. During her time there, she had the privilege of working with eminent clinicians and diabetologists, which allowed her to gain a deeper exposure to the field of diabetes.

During her time at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital’s Division of Endocrinology as a Consultant, she developed an interest in adrenal and pituitary disorders and was responsible for running the Adrenal and Pituitary Clinic, where she frequently saw referrals for young hypertension, endocrine hypertension, adrenal nodules and pituitary tumours. She also works with various other disciplines, including surgery, neurosurgery, and radiology, as part of a multi-disciplinary team to provide patient-centred care for patients with complex adrenal and pituitary conditions.
