Poh is excited to be a part of Pediatric Orthopaedic Associates.  Before joining, he had worked as a staff nurse with Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at the Egleston campus in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit.  Prior to the acute care settings, he was on the medical surgical floor that consisted of orthopaedic, general surgeries, liver and kidney transplant, ENT, and endocrine services. Other areas of work exposure while at CHOA included the Intensive Care Unit, Oncology, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Neurosurgery, and Day Surgery. 
 
Mr. Lim acquired his Bachelor of Science in Nursing from LaGrange College to become a Registered Nurse.  While working for CHOA, he later attended Georgia State University where he obtained his Master of Science to be a Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner.  Poh is also a member of the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioner/NAPNAP.
 
Poh was born in Malaysia where he and his family later immigrated to the Atlanta area as a child. He has lived in the Atlanta area since he was six years old and had graduated from Henderson High school in Dekalb County.  During his free time he enjoys being with his friends, cooking, and participating in church activities with North Point Community Church.
