Peter graduated from medicine at The University of Melbourne in 2011. He undertook training in multiple health services including Eastern Health, St Vincent’s Hospital, Austin Health and Monash Health. He has a broad range of experiences including paediatrics, psychiatry and surgery.
Previously, Dr Yee was a fully qualified optometrist and his interest in medicine stems from basic science research regarding the impact of fish oil on diabetic eye disease. He was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy in 2004 for his work and subsequently embarked on his career in medicine.
Peter chose general practice as he enjoys the diverse and unpredictable nature of each day. He is passionate about preventative health and offering holistic care to all of his patients. He performs minor surgery including removal of skin lesions.
Outside of medicine, Peter has a young family and his hobbies include cycling, do-it-yourself projects and eating burgers.
Dr Yee was a registrar at Wellness on Wellington in 2018 and felt an instant connection with the community. He has returned since February 2019 as a permanent team member, consulting every weekday except Mondays.
