Profile Background

Physician Brandon Yew graduated with a double degree in Biomedical Sciences (1st Class Honours from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore) and Chinese Medicine (Bachelor from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, China). He then started his Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practice as an Acupuncturist at the Complementary Integrative Medicine clinic (CIM) within Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH). Over the next 7 years, he gained a wealth of clinical experiences across multiple specialties i.e., chronic pain, sports injuries, musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular circulatory disorders, respiratory & pulmonary disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, endocrinological disorders, dermatological disorders, urinary & reproductive disorders, immunological disorders, and neurological disorders.

Following his term at TTSH, Physician Brandon moved into private practice as a general physician for a reputable TCM group spanning 2 years, with his scope encompassing herbal medicine, acupuncture, and tui na (Chinese manual therapy).

The years of clinical work made Physician Brandon realise that nothing is more valuable and important than having a good quality of life, which is attainable only through a holistic approach towards healthcare. As TCM champions the concept of holism, he began to fully appreciate and embrace the wisdom from this ancient art of healing. Driven by a burning passion to help people, he earnestly hopes his patients can achieve good health and enjoy optimal quality of life, through the best of his abilities in TCM.

Beyond his clinical practice, Physician Brandon periodically conducts health talks, discussions, and workshops to share knowledge and raise awareness in TCM for the public as well as western medical and allied health professionals. He is also a TCM workshop trainer for Family Central by Fei Yue Community Services, and consultant on the panel of healthcare experts for All Things Health online content hub.
