Dr. Suhsien Lim, MD

OncologyInternal Medicine

OVERVIEW

Dr. Su Hsien Lim is a medical oncologist and hematologist at MOH’s Yale-New Haven Shoreline Medical Center facility. Dr. Lim became a doctor, she says, "to help people… no kidding!" To narrow her focus, she eventually decided to specialize in the treatment of cancers and blood disorders. "I thought I would have the most impact on my patients’ lives that way," she says. Skilled in the treatment of all forms of cancer and blood disorders, Dr. Lim has a particular interest in cancers of the lungs, head and neck, and bladder. She appreciates the challenges these cancers pose in integrating all modalities of treatment, and she is encouraged by many recent advances that allow her to better preserve the function of the treated areas. These specific advances are part of a larger trend toward better targeted therapies that are tailored to the molecular pathophysiology driving each individual’s cancer. "We now have agents," she says, "that more logically target the cancer cells and the unique mechanisms driving each one." Dr. Lim appreciates the close doctor-patient relationship she is able to have at MOH, a closeness that allows her to deliver higher quality care. "I better understand how my patients are tolerating their treatments," she says, "and what their personal goals are for their care." She enjoys learning about her patients’ hobbies, their interests, and who they really are. She is also continually inspired by her patients’ dignity and grace, their honor, and their humor in the face of great life challenges. Born in Singapore and raised all over the world, Dr. Lim, her husband, her two children, and her 11 fish now call Guilford home. She loves how friendly the people of Connecticut are, and how generously grateful they are for her care. From her patients, Dr. Lim has learned, "You can never spend too much time with your family," so she tries hard to balance her work and family life. With her family, she enjoys skiing, swimming, tennis, biking, and just about anything active. She also loves to travel, and one of her favorite places in the world to visit is West Africa. Dr. Lim’s zest for an active life and for seeing the world is evident in the dreams she has of alternative careers, should a miracle cure come along and end all cancer forever. She’d like to be a journalist, a photographer… or maybe a marine biologist.
