About De Yu TCM
De Yu TCM is a traditional Chinese medicine clinic located at People's Park Centre, Upper Cross Street, serving patients islandwide. The listing is KakiList-verified, meaning operating details and contact channels have been confirmed by a real person. With 4.9 out of 5 across 329 Google reviews, the rating carries a robust sample and represents a strong signal of patient satisfaction. No regulatory licences are recorded in the listing data, so prospective patients are advised to confirm practitioner registration directly before booking.
A first visit typically begins with a consultation in which the practitioner takes a detailed case history, assesses your presenting condition — whether pain management, digestive complaints, fertility support, stress, or another concern — and explains the proposed treatment plan. TCM modalities may include acupuncture, tuina (therapeutic massage), cupping, moxibustion, or prescribed herbal medicine, sometimes in combination. You can choose a single session to assess fit before committing to a recurring package, and it is worth asking at the outset about cancellation terms and whether package fees are refundable if your condition resolves early.
To book an appointment with De Yu TCM, reach out via WhatsApp, phone, or the online enquiry form. Bring any relevant medical reports or a list of current medications to your first visit so the practitioner can account for potential interactions with herbal prescriptions.
Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the relevant board's public register before treatment.
Two days ago , My mom had leg pain. She can’t even move her leg. With Mr Desmond help and therapy, my mom got better. He knew what made my mom’s leg hurt. He is very nice and friendly, very recommended thank you
I visited Desmond of De Yu TCM for my elbow, knee and ankle injuries. He was very patient and knowledgeable. The treatments were effective, and I felt significant improvement after a few sessions. Highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for effective TCM treatment.
I came across Deyu TCM when I had some lingering pains at my lower back. I had a few sessions with them and they were able to properly diagnose the cause of my issue and after receiving treatment from them, my situation has improved! Many thanks to LeLe who has help me to manage my lower back pain.
I highly recommend Mr. Qiang! I came to him with a painfully sprained shoulder, feeling like something was deeply blocked and impeding my movement. It was incredibly uncomfortable and worrying. After just two sessions with Mr. Qiang, I am now completely better! The relief is total, and my shoulder feels strong and mobile again. Mr. Qiang is extremely professional, clearly possesses a wealth of experience, and has an expert touch that immediately diagnoses the root of the issue. If you are dealing with any body injuries, pain, or blockages, do yourself a favor and go straight to Mr. Qiang. He is a true healer and a miracle worker. Thank you, Mr. Qiang, for getting me back to 100%!
This is my second visit to De Yu TCM. The deep massage by Mr Yang was extremely helpful with my severe knee pain. Mr Yang is meticulous, thorough and constantly checks me as to how I am feeling. I can tell that he has deep knowledge of this science. After two sessions my right knee feels a lot better. There is a huge improvement in the way I walk, thanks to Mr Yang. I am also very pleased by the professionalism of Ms Wai Wai. She is very kind to help me with understanding the deep massage process. I am thankful and very grateful to them.

De Yu TCM displays a '$$' price indicator, suggesting mid-range pricing, though specific per-session rates are not published in the listing. As a general reference, TCM consultations in Singapore typically run S$30–80, with acupuncture sessions S$50–120 and herbal medicine prescribed separately at S$20–80 per week depending on the formula. A first consultation may carry a slightly higher fee than follow-up visits. Package deals for ongoing conditions — such as six or ten prepaid sessions — are common in TCM practice and usually offer a modest discount over the single-session rate. Confirm the full fee structure, including herbal dispensing costs and any materials surcharge, before committing. GST applies on fees charged by GST-registered businesses.

No referral is required to book a TCM consultation at De Yu TCM. You can contact the clinic directly via WhatsApp, phone, or the online form to arrange an appointment. At your first visit, expect a structured intake covering your main complaint, sleep, digestion, and constitution — this is standard TCM diagnostic practice and forms the basis of your treatment plan. If you have a complex or chronic condition, bringing a GP summary or specialist report helps the practitioner understand your medical history and any contraindications for acupuncture or herbal medicine — for example, blood-thinning medications interact with certain herbs, and some acupuncture points are avoided during pregnancy. For insurance reimbursement, check with your insurer whether a GP referral letter is required, as some integrated shield plans cover TCM only on referral.
In Singapore, TCM practitioners must be registered with the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board (TCMPB), which operates under the Ministry of Health. Registration is mandatory for anyone practising acupuncture or prescribing TCM medicine. The public register is searchable at the TCMPB website — you can look up any practitioner by name before booking. No TCMPB registration is recorded in De Yu TCM's current listing data. Contact the clinic directly to request the practitioner's TCMPB registration number and verify it on the public register before your first session. Practising without TCMPB registration is illegal in Singapore, so this step is important regardless of how well-reviewed the clinic appears. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the relevant board's public register before treatment.
