Everyone in the neighbourhood ought to know Dr. Lee Siew Khim of St. George’s Clinic and Surgery, who has served the community for the last 17 years since 1995. A confident and friendly lady, Dr. Lee invited us to her consultation room for a chat when we requested for an interview.

She felt drawn to set up a clinic here when she first visited this place as it was like a ‘kampong’ estate and there were no clinics nearby. She has encountered many different types of patients over the years and was even threatened by drug addicts who demanded prescription drugs to get high. Dr. Lee was very touched and encouraged by the care and concern shown by some of her regular patients who even boiled soup for her when they noticed she was losing weight and looked drained during a stressful period for her. "It really warmed my heart!" she exclaimed.
She commented the environment has now changed quite a bit; with people shifting out and new residents coming in. There are more foreigners and young families now. With the Boon Keng MRT station in operation, the place has become more accessible. Dr. Lee is positive she will continue her clinic in St. George’s till she retires.
