Zeng is a general, thyroid and endocrine surgeon who graduated from the University of Melbourne with Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) in 2003. She began her basic surgical training at St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne and subsequently her advanced training in General Surgery at Austin Health. During her clinical training, she took time off to develop her basic science research skills by undertaking a postgraduate degree with the University of Melbourne. She was awarded Master of Surgery (MS) in 2015 for her research in xenogeneic pancreatic transplant.
After completing her General Surgical training in 2013 and being admitted as a fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS), Zeng undertook one year of local fellowship training in General Surgery at the Northern Hospital, Melbourne and one year of international fellowship in Thyroid and Endocrine Surgery at the largest robotic thyroidectomy centre in the world, Yonsei University Severance Hospital, Seoul. Under the guidance of the world renowned endocrine surgeon, Professor Woong Youn Chung, Zeng acquired the skills to perform robotic thyroidectomy which avoids a scar in the neck, as well as conventional open thyroidectomy, parathyroidectomy, parotidectomy and laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
In addition to endocrine surgery, Zeng also performs a range of general surgical operations, such as gallbladder, appendix and bowel surgeries, hernia operations and day case surgeries including ingrown toenail, skin lesions, vasectomy, carpal tunnel release, gastroscopy and colonoscopy.
Zeng is able to converse in English, Cantonese, Mandarin and Malay languages and prides herself in being a good listener. She will ensure that her patients thoroughly understand their medical condition and the surgery they are about to have, and that they receive the best possible care in a timely manner.
