Dr Lee studied medicine at Monash University and completed her degree in 2012. She subsequently moved to Queensland and completed her basic physician training and rheumatology advanced training in Queensland-based hospitals, which included Princess Alexandra Hospital, Gold Coast University Hospital, Greenslopes Private Hospital, Townsville Hospital, Rockhampton Base Hospital and other regional hospitals.

​

Dr Lee was born in Malaysia and grew up in a multilingual, multicultural society before moving to Australia for her tertiary education. She is able to converse fluently in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Malay. With her unique upbringing, background and clinical exposure in both remote and metropolitan regions, she includes patients' cultural and personal beliefs into her patient care with passion.

 

Dr Lee has a special interest in managing connective tissue diseases. She is the Unit Representative of the Rheumatology Department at Greenslopes Private Hospital and an Examiner for the RACP Clinical Examination. With her affiliation with Greenslopes Private Hospital, Dr Lee is able to care for patients in both outpatient and inpatient settings.  As most rheumatologists who focus primarily on outpatient care, she remains actively involved in inpatient clinical work. This enables her to provide truly comprehensive and continuous care to her patients across all stages of their illness.

 

Aside from clinical medicine, Dr Lee also actively engages in research publication and education to both physician trainees and medical students. She is currently a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians (Rheumatology) and affiliated with the Australian Rheumatology Association (QLD), the International Association of Women in Rheumatology, and the University of Queensland.

 

Dr Lee adopts a shared care approach with other specialties and primary care physicians in patient management as she believes this will improve patient outcomes, particularly for patients with chronic rheumatological conditions requiring multidisciplinary and cross-specialty involvement.​
