Dr Ester Yeoh is a Senior Consultant Endocrinologist with dual accreditation in Endocrinology and Internal Medicine. She obtained her medical degree from the National University of Singapore in 2005. After completing basic specialist training in Internal Medicine, she trained in Endocrinology at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH), Singapore and attained specialist accreditation in Endocrinology in 2013.
Following that, she was awarded a fellowship by the Ministry of Health under the Health Manpower Development Plan (HMDP) at the Diabetes Centre in King’s College Hospital, London, UK where she was involved in clinical and research work in type 1 diabetes and hypoglycaemia.
Dr Yeoh rejoined KTPH as a Consultant in the Division of Endocrinology, Department of Medicine, in 2015. Her professional focus is on several key areas of endocrinology, including type 1 diabetes, hypoglycaemia, obesity, and advanced diabetes technologies, encompassing insulin pump utilization and glucose sensors. She has published in numerous peer-reviewed journals and has been invited to present her work at local and international conferences. In addition to her technical proficiency, Dr Yeoh maintains a keen interest in the psychological aspects of diabetes care, embracing a holistic approach to patient well-being. Her dedication extends to the realm of digital health solutions, as she continually explores ways to enhance patient experiences and outcomes. Beyond these areas of expertise, she remains well-versed in thyroid disorders and general endocrinology.
At the Admiralty Medical Centre’s Diabetes Centre, a specialised wing of KTPH, Dr Yeoh spearheaded the Flexible Insulin Therapy clinic tailored to individuals with type 1 diabetes. With a steadfast commitment to patient education and empowerment, she guides her patients toward enhanced diabetes self-management. Dr Yeoh also leads the Diabetes Empowerment Programme – Insulin, a group education programme at the centre. Her pivotal role included shaping the curriculum and developing patient education e-learning modules for Type 1 diabetes and insulin pump therapy, a collaborative endeavour by the National Healthcare Group (NHG) Steering Committee for Diabetes education. Dr Yeoh is passionate about the care of young adults with diabetes and endocrinology issues and is involved in the transition clinic at KKH to enable seamless transition from paediatric to adult endocrinology care.
In her free time, Dr Yeoh enjoys spending quality time with her family, cooking healthy meals on weekends and traveling.
