His journey

From hospital wards to preventive healthcare

Dato’ Dr. Tommy Tan Meng Lee

Founder and CEO, HDC Medical

Dato’ Dr. Tommy Tan graduated with his MD from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and began his career in government service, including a posting as medical officer in the Dermatology Department of Hospital Kuala Lumpur . Postgraduate training followed: a Diploma in Practical Dermatology (UK) and a Diploma in Aesthetic Medicine from the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine, alongside certification as an Occupational Health Doctor .

He went on to build a healthcare organisation rather than just practise in one, founding ASP Medical Group and growing it to ISO 9001 certification.

In 2011 he was conferred the Darjah Indera Mahkota Pahang (D.I.M.P.) , which carries the title Dato’.

He founded HDC Medical on a simple principle: screening should be honest, actionable and explained , never a PDF left for you to decode alone.

His philosophy

Catch it early. Better still, never let it start.

Early prevention is better than cure. That conviction, formed over more than twenty years in clinical practice, is why Dato’ Dr. Tommy Tan founded HDC Medical, and why the clinic is built around screening rather than treatment.

Many conditions develop quietly. Health screening and blood testing help you find changes while they are easier to act on. Blood tests can pick up early signs such as cholesterol drifting, fasting glucose creeping upward, or inflammatory and hormonal markers shifting, often before there is anything to feel.

He is equally firm that screening does not end at a number. A result nobody explains to you changes nothing. At HDC Medical every panel is reviewed and explained one-to-one by our dietitian team , and you leave understanding which markers matter, why they moved, and what happens next.

What happens next, in his view, is mostly food. The right nutrition and diet can shift more of what a screening uncovers than most people expect. Where results call for more than general advice, HDC dietitians build advanced nutritional therapy : targeted, evidence-based nutritional support matched to your own blood work instead of a generic plan.

What this means at HDC

The ideas behind the clinic

  • Why HDC Medical exists

    He founded HDC Medical after two decades of clinical practice across public and private healthcare, to make screening something you understand and can act on.

  • Prevention first

    A career built on the belief that prevention is better than cure: catch changes early, or better still, never develop them at all.

  • Screening before symptoms

    Many metabolic changes show up in blood work before you feel anything. A full panel is one way to find them while there is still time to act.

  • Numbers, explained

    A result only helps if you understand it. Every panel ends in a one-to-one review with our dietitian team, never a PDF left for you to decode.

  • Diet as the first lever

    Where markers are drifting, food is usually the earliest and most practical thing to change, and the first place HDC looks.

  • Advanced nutritional therapy

    Targeted nutritional support built on your own results and delivered by HDC clinical dietitians, not a one-size-fits-all programme.
