Profession: Veterinarian/Physician
Field: Traditional Chinese Medicine

Dr. Oh Soon Hock, or "Dr. Oh" for short, is sometimes regarded as a paradox, practicing both Western veterinary medicine and traditional Chinese medicine — often at the same time on the same patient. Not only does he have a bachelor of veterinary medicine from the National Taiwan University, but he is also qualified to practice acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. Dr. Oh is a physician at the Singapore Traditional Chinese Medical College (for humans). He has pioneered immobilization, or chemical restraint, of animals at Singapore Zoo, as well as using traditional Chinese medicine for treating both animals and humans.
