Dr Yeo is known for holistic pregnancy and postpartum care, offering empathetic, individualized treatment. Taking a balanced view towards “biohacking” pregnancy, she advocates evidence-based methods to prevent negative effects of the perinatal period, while embracing the physiological changes of pregnancy. She has delivered thousands of babies and is skilled in gentle birthing, natural delivery, reducing perineal tearing, as well as instrumental delivery, Caesarean Sections, and vaginal birth after Caesarean (VBAC). She is committed to scar aesthetics and founded the KKH Scar Symposium (2023) to promote post-surgical wound healing innovations. Believing in optimizing preconception health, Dr Yeo supports women in enhancing natural fertility and hormonal balance for overall wellbeing.

She has published and presented research on complex gynaecological surgery internationally in Paris, London, Australia, and Taiwan.

Obstetrics (Pregnancy Care)

Holistic pregnancy care is at the core of Dr Yeo’s practice. She understands that pregnancy is not a medical condition to be treated in silo, but often the start of the most transformative journey through a woman’s life.

Pregnancy care offered by Dr Yeo includes:

Birth planning: Dr Yeo encourages an open discussion about birth preferences, to help couples ultimately achieve the positive birth experience they deserve
Routine antenatal care: One-stop consultation, ultrasound scanning, treatment / counselling for common pregnancy related symptoms
Care for specific antenatal conditions: Specialized care for conditions such as gestational diabetes, advanced maternal age pregnancies (pregnancies in women over the ages of 35), previous Caesarean sections, high body mass index (BMI)
Collaborative care for high-risk conditions: Engaging a multidisciplinary team to ensure the best outcomes for women with multiple (twin) pregnancies, high blood pressure, and other medical conditions
Intrapartum care: Attending to natural deliveries, water births, Caesarean sections, vaginal births after Caesarean sections (VBAC)
Postpartum care: Caring for mothers after delivery, including providing support for breastfeeding and mental health
Treatment for pregnancy loss (miscarriage) and ectopic pregnancy

Gynaecology

Dr Yeo believes that optimising a woman’s natural fertility and achieving hormonal balance — during and beyond the reproductive years — are central to long-term health and wellbeing.
Her approach integrates preventive care, medical management, and minimally invasive surgery, tailored to each stage of a woman’s life.

Ovarian cyst, fibroid, and polyp removal
Surgery for large pelvic masses, adenomyosis, and selected precancerous conditions
