About Common TCM
About Common TCM
Common TCM is a Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic located at TripleOne Somerset, serving clients islandwide from a single central Singapore address. The clinic is KakiList-verified, meaning a real person has confirmed its operating details and contact channel. It holds a 4.9/5 rating across 386 Google reviews, a robust sample that carries meaningful weight.
Patients typically begin with a first consultation where the practitioner assesses their presenting condition — whether that involves acupuncture, tui na, cupping, herbal prescription, or a combination — and discusses goals and treatment frequency. Common TCM operates on a per-session or package basis; confirming the session fee, package terms, and cancellation policy before booking is advisable. Clients with chronic conditions such as musculoskeletal pain, fertility concerns, or stress-related complaints often commit to a short course of sessions rather than a single visit, so understanding the recommended treatment plan upfront helps with planning.
To make an initial booking, reach Common TCM by phone or via the enquiry form on their listing. It is worth asking to speak with the practitioner about your specific condition before committing, so you can confirm the approach suits your needs.

Dr Victoria is extremely skilled, blending her expertise with genuine empathy. She treated my migraine using acupuncture, cupping, guasha and jaw adjustment. Dr Victoria took the time to explain every step, ensuring I felt at ease and informed. Since beginning treatment, my migraines have reduced significantly in both frequency and severity.

I was feeling sluggish, bloated, having water retention, slow metabolism leading to indigestion and always fatigue. Physician Victoria listened to my “woes” with great patience and understanding then she diagnosed me as having weak qi and blood flow because I’m menopausing. She also did a hormone test to confirm it. Physician Victoria proceeded to do acupuncture and cupping over many areas of my body to help ease the symptoms and treat the root problem. I immediately felt relieved of my fatigue and bloatedness. I found my appetite coming back after the treatment and had a good night rest that night. The next day, I felt very much energised and did not wake up draggy. The sluggish feeling was gone! I hope it sustains till I see her again next month ◡̈ Thank Q Physician Victoria for showing empathy and giving me on-point treatment!

She id very nice and easy to talk to with great guidance for all other issues too (like fatigue, head tension). Booked in follow up sessions and highly recommend :)

I had a really great experience with Physician Doong. She took the time to do a thorough consultation and genuinely listened to understand my situation before starting any treatment. The acupuncture and cupping were done very carefully and professionally. I really appreciate the care and attention Physician Doong has!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Common TCM charge per session?›
Common TCM displays a mid-range price indicator, though a specific per-session rate is not publicly listed — contact the clinic directly for current fees. As a reference, TCM consultations in Singapore typically run S$30–80 for the consultation component, with acupuncture, tui na, or cupping adding S$30–80 each. Herbal prescriptions are billed separately and vary considerably by formula and duration of the prescription course. Many TCM clinics offer package pricing for a fixed number of sessions, which reduces the per-visit cost. Confirm whether a first-consultation or assessment fee applies, and ask about the cancellation or rescheduling policy before paying for a package. See the full TCM cost guide for Singapore →
Do I need a referral or assessment first?›
No referral is required to book a TCM consultation. On your first visit, the practitioner will conduct an intake assessment covering your presenting complaint, medical history, current medications, and constitution — this typically takes 20–30 minutes before any treatment begins. Common conditions seen in TCM practice include back and joint pain, headaches, insomnia, digestive issues, fertility support, and stress or fatigue. If you have a complex or ongoing medical condition, bringing a recent GP summary or specialist letter can help the TCM practitioner contextualise your treatment safely. For certain conditions — such as pregnancy, bleeding disorders, or implanted devices — some modalities like acupuncture or cupping carry contraindications that the practitioner will screen for at intake. A GP referral is not required for TCM in Singapore, but it can support an insurance claim if your policy covers complementary therapy — check your insurer's requirements before your first visit.
Is the practitioner at Common TCM licensed?›
In Singapore, Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners who practise acupuncture, prescribe Chinese herbal medicine, or perform tui na must be registered with the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board (TCMPB) under the Ministry of Health. Registration is legally required — it is not optional or voluntary. You can verify any individual practitioner's registration on the TCMPB public register at go.gov.sg/tcmpb before your appointment. Common TCM does not currently list its regulatory licences on this KakiList profile. Before your first session, ask the clinic for the practitioner's TCMPB registration number and cross-check it on the register. This is a straightforward step and any registered clinic should accommodate the request without hesitation. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the TCMPB public register before treatment.
