Dr Lee Yee Lin
Veterinary Advisor
Fulfilling a childhood vision towards animal welfare and conservation, Dr Lee has dedicated the past 22 years towards veterinary medicine, holding a license to practice in Singapore and Australia. A graduate from Murdoch University, Dr Lee has extensive clinical experience, having worked with the Animal Recovery Veterinary Referral Centre as a Senior Veterinary Surgeon from 2003 to 2007, during which she was also the Resident Veterinarian for the group’s Shanghai Veterinary Hospital from 2006 to 2007. She went on to run Defu Veterinary Surgery from 2007 to 2010, before returning to Animal Recovery until 2013. She was subsequently instrumental in the conceptualisation and setting up of Republic Veterinary Clinic, before founding Gentle Oak Veterinary Clinic in October 2015 — a practice she eventually entrusted to Mars Veterinary Health, with whom she remains a locum veterinary surgeon today — alongside her role as a Key Opinion Leader and Speaker/Trainer for IDEXX Laboratories and as a Clinical Partner KOL for AGeM Bio, where she is involved in clinical cancer research trials. With special interests in internal medicine and soft tissue surgery, Dr Lee also focuses on using a holistic and integrative approach in patient care, seamlessly combining allopathic medicine with complementary healthcare modalities such as Bowen Therapy, therapeutic grade essential oils, Traditional Chinese Medicine, herbal remedies and BodyTalk etc. She is the first veterinarian in Singapore to be a certified Bowen Therapist for Animals, BodyTalk Practitioner and a BodyTalk for Animals Practitioner. Nurturing her passion for animal welfare, Dr Lee is actively involved in animal conservation projects both locally and internationally, including her work with the orangutans in Borneo and her role as a Veterinarian Consultant for the Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES), where she has contributed to wildlife rescue treatments. Grateful for the opportunities to work with both domestic and wild animals, Dr Lee is an avid advocate of integrative medicine and takes the holistic approach of treating beyond the physical symptoms — a philosophy that extends home, where her own three cats, Portobello, Porcini and Enoki, are raised on a raw diet. She upholds her motto of ‘First, Do No Harm’ in her approach towards all her patients.
