Paediatrician
MD (Alabama, USA)
Dr Leo Hamilton is a Singapore-registered Specialist Paediatrician practising here since 2011. Before coming to Singapore, he was a Board Certified Paediatrician in the United States. He is an honours graduate with majors in History and Religion from Auburn University, trained in medical school at the University of Alabama School of Medicine, his Paediatric residency at Maine Medical Centre, and a fellowship in Paediatric Haematology/Oncology at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
He has multiple peer-reviewed academic publications and was a co-primary investigator at St. Jude for a Children’s Oncology Group study of genetic causes of a complication of chemotherapy in leukaemia.
Today, as a general paediatrician, he happily continues to attend international conferences and give talks in Singapore to support evidence-based medicine and the most current treatments in children, primarily in trying to reduce unnecessary testing, medications (primarily antibiotics), and hospitalisations.
Dr Leo has a strong belief in practising modern, up-to-date medicine that minimises interventions and medications. During his training, he learned that most of everything he knows about Paediatrics changes, hence sticking to evidence-based medicine is his guiding principle. The basic care he provided 20 years ago when he started as a Paediatrician has changed tremendously, and he knows it will continue to.
Dr Leo is a strong believer that most children need few or no medications, and enjoys working with parents to determine what medicines will help, and what is unnecessary. Knowing when a test is needed is an important part of being a Paediatrician and a central part of his practice.
Every child is unique and developing a relationship with children, teenagers, and families is important to develop the care and treatment each individual needs. Knowing when to test, when to treat, and when a hospital stay is needed are instrumental in Dr Leo’s practice as a patient-centred paediatrician.
