When he graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (M.B.,B.S.) degree at the National University of Singapore in 1983, his medical career began.

In 1991, he began his specialist training in cardiology at the Department of Cardiology, Singapore General Hospital. This resulted in a year at the world-renowned Duke University Medical Centre from 1995-1996 for sub-specialty training in Interventional Cardiology. In a then fast-growing and fast-developing field of cardiac treatments, which included balloon angioplasty, stenting and other innovative and cutting-edge devices, he practiced with the nation’s foremost cardiologists.
In 1996, Dr Tan Eng Hock Melvin went into private practice and set up his own clinic two years later to fulfill his goal of providing state-of-the-art, but accessible, cardiology care and treatment to as many people as possible individually. Dr Tan Eng Hock Melvin was named a visiting consultant to the National Heart Centre in 1998, and in 2000 he was invited to be the only visiting consultant to the National University Hospital to be one of five cardiologists.
While the non-surgical treatment of coronary artery disease using interventional devices is his key area of interest, Dr Tan Eng Hock Melvin also handles and treats patients with a broad range of heart-related disorders. That include hypertension, elevated cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), valvular heart disease, heart failure, heart rhythm abnormalities, and problems with weight control.
