Dr Chew calls himself a "small kampung doctor with a big heart". Originally from the country town of Kulim, Kedah, he was blessed with a scholarship to pursue the career of his dreams - studying Medicine at the prestigious National University of Singapore.

​

Initially wanting to be surgeon, his plans took a different turn when he thrived in his paediatric posting. It was such a joy to be able to work with children and provide hope for their parents. It was then that he decided to become a paediatrician - a decision to this day that comes with no regrets. His warm smile, enthusiastic laughter and passion for healing is demonstrated daily at Hope Children Hospital and its clinics. 

​

Dr Chew himself is a father of 5 children, and a grandfather (Gong Gong) to 2 girls and 2 boys (he's expecting a lot more in the future!). He understands a parent's worry and is always ready to lend a listening ear to your concerns. 

One of his signature moves is the "no crying injection technique", where an immunisation is over before the child has even had time to cry!
