Dr Leo Pien Ming Sean

Dr Leo Pien Ming Sean is an Orthopaedic Surgeon currently practising at Orthokinetics in Novena. 

Dr Leo's professional distinction is shaped by his experience caring for professional soldiers in high-demand vocations during his service in the Singapore Armed Forces Medical Corps.

Prior to private practice, Dr Leo served in the Singapore Armed Forces Medical Corps from 2000 to 2012, where he contributed to medical policy development, operational planning and overseas humanitarian missions.
