About 1 Toa Payoh Medical
1 Toa Payoh Medical is a general practice clinic located at Block 4 Toa Payoh Lorong 7, serving residents across the Toa Payoh estate and the broader island. The clinic holds a 4.8/5 rating across 92 Google reviews, a moderate-to-robust sample that provides reasonable confidence in the rating. No MOH Healthcare Services Licence or Singapore Medical Council (SMC) registration details are currently listed on this directory entry, and no ACRA registration has been confirmed — patients are advised to verify these directly with the clinic before booking.
For a first visit, patients typically walk in or call ahead to check queue status. A GP consultation covers acute conditions (fever, respiratory illness, skin complaints, minor injuries), chronic disease follow-up under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP) for conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidaemia, and referrals to specialist outpatient clinics where further investigation is needed. Patients using MediSave or an Integrated Shield Plan should confirm at the front desk whether the clinic participates in MediSave 500/700 outpatient withdrawal and CDMP claims before the consultation, as not all GP clinics are CDMP-enrolled.
To make an appointment or check waiting times, contact 1 Toa Payoh Medical by phone or through the enquiry form listed on this page.
Verify the doctor's name on the Singapore Medical Council register and the clinic's MOH Healthcare Services Licence before booking, and for any planned procedure request a written financial counselling estimate that itemises insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions before paying any deposit.
The doctor was nice and friendly, which I appreciated. However, my experience with the receptionist was not pleasant. I asked politely if it was possible not to take the lozenges since I already had some and wanted to reduce the cost, but I was told it wasn’t allowed. I was also told I should be charged an extra $5 for coming in late, even though I arrived at 1:25 pm and the clinic states it is open until 2 pm. If there is an extra charge after a certain time, it would be helpful to inform patients clearly or update the stated opening hours accordingly. Overall, the doctor was great, but the front desk experience could be improved.
Dr Diana Ler is patient, caring, and really takes time to listen. Felt comfortable and well taken care of. Highly recommend!
Dr Diana was really attentive and assuring while listening to my concerns. She gave a lot of useful advice in managing my symptoms, which I am grateful for. Both women in the clinic, the receptionist and doctor were pleasant to be around with given that no one enjoys coming to clinic. Thank you for the good service.
I highly recommend this clinic! Both Dr. Valerie and Dr. Michelle are exceptional. They always provide full explanations and advice, ensuring I understand my treatment options. They take their time during each appointment, making sure all my concerns are addressed. I never feel rushed, and their dedication to patient care is evident. Additionally, the receptionist is very friendly and welcoming, which makes each visit a pleasant experience. Thank you, Dr. Valerie, Dr. Michelle, and the wonderful receptionist for your outstanding service.
I’ve noticed that the doctors on Sunday duty at this clinic are often older, retired professionals. While my experience with one such doctor—a kind older lady—was decent in the past, yesterday's visit was disappointing. I requested a specific medication that has effectively managed my condition by reducing blood clotting. Instead, the doctor prescribed strong antibiotics and a steroid cream, neither of which were necessary or helpful. This felt like a waste of time and effort. This feedback is directed at the clinic's management, not the doctor: Please don’t compromise on the quality of care by assigning less-qualified professionals for Sunday duty. Patients deserve consistent, high-quality care regardless of the day of the week. On a positive note, weekday doctors Michelle and Valerie are excellent—they provide thorough, effective care and deserve recognition for their work.

GP consultations at private clinics in Singapore typically run S$25–60 per visit, with additional charges for investigations (blood panel S$60–200, X-ray S$80–150), prescriptions, and follow-up reviews. GST applies on private medical services. 1 Toa Payoh Medical is listed at a mid-range price point ($$), but specific consultation fees are not published on this listing — call ahead or ask at the front desk for the current fee schedule before your visit. For planned procedures or referrals, request a written financial counselling estimate that splits any insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions before committing. This is especially important for CDMP-enrolled conditions where MediSave 500/700 withdrawal limits apply. See the full GP & 24-Hour Clinics cost guide for Singapore →
Every legitimate clinic in Singapore must hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence issued under the Healthcare Services Act — verifiable on the MOH licensee directory at moh.gov.sg. Every practising doctor must be registered with the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) — verifiable by name at smc.gov.sg, where you can also confirm specialist accreditation and any disciplinary history. No MOH licence or SMC registration details are listed in this directory entry. Before booking, search the clinic name on the MOH licensee directory and confirm the consulting doctor's SMC registration. Neither check alone is sufficient — both the clinic premises licence and the named doctor's SMC entry should be confirmed.
MediSave can be used at GP clinics enrolled in the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP) for outpatient management of listed conditions including hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, stroke, asthma, COPD, and selected mental health conditions, up to S$500/year (or S$700/year under the expanded outpatient MediSave withdrawal limit). Confirm at the front desk whether the clinic is CDMP-enrolled before your consultation, as eligibility to claim MediSave for outpatient visits depends on this enrolment. Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life generally cover inpatient and day-surgery costs rather than routine GP visits, though some riders extend cover to outpatient specialist consultations. For any planned procedure or referral requiring specialist follow-up, request a pre-treatment financial counselling session so that insurance, MediSave, and out-of-pocket portions are itemised in writing before you proceed.
