About Doctor

Oncology captivates Dr Poon with its boundless possibilities. The advent of upcoming new therapies and the exhilarating progress made in recent years represent the culmination of countless individuals' dedicated efforts, with much yet to be discovered and learned.

Her passion lies in Adolescent and Young Adult Oncology (AYAO), and she is dedicated to pursuing specialized training in this field. This discipline is in its nascent stages, particularly in Asia, and it combines both the scientific and artistic aspects of Oncology and Medicine.

Dr Poon reflects, "Every time I have the privilege of caring for an AYAO patient, it humbles me and reminds me of the profound purpose behind my chosen path. My aspiration is to continuously learn, question, and evolve as a well-rounded oncologist who can provide patients with individualized, cutting-edge treatment plans tailored to their unique needs."

In addition to her clinical pursuits, Dr Poon is passionate about becoming an inspiring clinical educator. She recognizes that each young doctor learns differently and possesses unique needs, thus she strives to individualize teaching strategies to help them reach their full potential. Throughout her career, Dr Poon has encountered exceptional mentors who have inspired her, and she acknowledges the significance of educating the younger generation of doctors. This transmission of knowledge encompasses not only scientific advancements but also the art of good doctoring—a skillset that she believes is becoming increasingly undervalued in the face of technological advancements.

Beyond the realm of Oncology, Dr Poon cherishes spending quality time with her family and loved ones. She also confesses to a serious case of wanderlust, seeking adventure and adrenaline-pumping experiences. Moreover, she adores pets, especially dogs, and delights in their companionship.
