Dr Lee, one of Singapore's pioneer interventional pain specialists, started the Chronic and Interventional Pain Management Service in Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

He has since trained and mentored many doctors locally and overseas, in both the knowledge and the practice of Pain Medicine.
Currently, Dr Lee is the founder of Singapore Pain Care Center as well as the director and consultant of the Women's Pain Center in KK Women's and Children's hospital. He has established knifeless surgery via "state of the art" – specialized laser/balloon injections to treat various pain conditions (herniated disc, nerve impingement, neuralgia and frozen shoulder). He is also trained in medical acupuncture, adding a different dimension in the provision of evidence based practices within interventional pain procedures to the benefit of patients. Being an active advocate for education on pain issues, he founded the Singapore Chronic Pain Society, aiming to bring pain management awareness to the public.
