About Dr Joyce and Partners Family Clinic Toa Payoh
Dr Joyce and Partners Family Clinic Toa Payoh is a general practice clinic located at Block 178, Toa Payoh Central, offering GP services to patients across Singapore. The clinic is KakiList-verified, with a rating of 4.3 out of 5 from 48 Google reviews — a moderate sample that provides a reasonable directional signal. Pricing is indicated at a mid-range level on a per-visit basis, though specific consultation fees should be confirmed directly with the clinic.
Patients typically begin by calling ahead or submitting an enquiry via the online form to check waiting times before attending. For routine concerns — minor illnesses, chronic disease follow-up, repeat prescriptions, or vaccinations — a walk-in or same-day appointment is the standard pathway at a GP clinic. Patients with complex or persistent conditions may receive a referral letter to a polyclinic or specialist outpatient clinic, which opens the subsidised public hospital pathway (S$30–80 per visit for Singapore Citizens after subsidy, with waiting times of four to twelve weeks for non-urgent cases). MediSave can be used for selected outpatient treatments under the Chronic Disease Management Programme, covering conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, and asthma, up to S$500–700 per year. Integrated Shield Plan claims typically apply to inpatient or day-surgery settings rather than GP consultations.
To make an appointment or check current waiting times, contact Dr Joyce and Partners Family Clinic Toa Payoh directly 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.
Receptionist Rubana was helpful even on the phone when I enquired if Dr Joyce was on duty. However, Dr Joyce was on leave till 7 Dec 2025. I walked in to be treated by Locum Dr Lisa Heng, with intention to replenish my cough syrup n runny nose medications as I m down with cough , itchy throat during my trip to Vietnam n fever upon my arrival to Spore 25 Nov. After getting my medications from Dr Lisa Heng n went home, upon advice from a fren, I did a swap test n was test covid positive. Im disappointed Dr Lisa didn't even suggest doing a swap test on covid when I saw her earlier, despite the obvious symptoms of it, as I ve any elderly mum staying with me. The next day, i called up clinic n receptionist Rubana suggested I come down to consult Dr Josephine Lo, another locum for the day, before doing the swap test. What a contrast! Dr Josephine Lo was warm n friendly, asked relevant questions n gave me advice on the procedures to do. And making sure I ve all the necessary medications for my coming trip in December. Since I ve done my own swap test, there's no need to do again to confirm. I m grateful for Dr Josephine n receptionist Robana for making my day less anxious. On top of that, Dr Josephine didn't charge me any consultation fees. Thank you!
Dr Lisa attended to me. She lacked etiquette and was disrespectful on how she conveyed my diagnosis. Would highly encourage for patients to visit other women’s clinic if possible.
Doctor is no doubt patient n and caring, AT FIRST. But the after service sucks to the max. After the blood test report is out, the clinic assistant only called once and no follow up. When I call back to ask , the clinic assistant still can say she call me but I no answer. Is this pushing the blame? Is this my fault? Nevermind it’s okay. Then I went to hear my report on a Wednesday night due to their unjustifiable clinic hours. The doctor explained , bring things through quickly. Before I could even ask to clarify more in depth, the doctor say- is there anything else you wanna know or ask? If so , there will be surcharge. For godness sake, which doctor will say such thing ? Isn’t it the doctor job to explain after the blood tests reports? Why ask more will be charged? On top of that, for the extract same type of medicine I get from other GP, this clinic jet up the price up to 4 times the one I get from another side. What a black clinic! Updated: Are u guys unable to locate or just turning a deaf ear to it bluntly? A doctor herself can’t be upright about what she have done upon the reviewing of the report then what make a patient to have confidence in her again?
I am writing to provide a review of my experience at the Joyce partner clinic in toa payoh. I brought my first time helper to the clinic for 6 monthly checkup. I was going to bring her to healthway medical but there is a long queue so while walking around chance upon this clinic that is completely empty. They told me the checkup was $30. However, after they check my helper they told me they need to do further check for her because she lost 2-3kg since coming here. My helper is healthy with no symptoms and I did not deprive her of any food. The doctor insisted that we do a thyroid function test for her because she told me the weight loss is significant and that Mom will ask and question if i do not agree. I felt compelled to do it since i was a first timer employer. She told me the test is $50. When i paid, the receptionist told me i have to pay another $20 for consult and said that he is giving me some discount and charging me $100. Then the doctor who appears to be a locum and not experienced open the door and told me that the charge is lower because they use another lab. I did not check my receipt until i was home and realise i was charged $50. I called the clinic and was told that the doctor made a mistake about the price. I asked around my friends and gp friends and they were all surprised that i was being forced to do the blood test!! I have friends whose helper dropped way more weight than my helper because it was adjustment and there was no issue. One dropped 70kg to 63kg, another dropped 65kg to 49kg. I told them the doctor insisted i paid for the extra checkup because she says” i am going to tick the unintentional weight loss box and at least if we do the blood test mom will not question”. My $30 bill became $100. It has been more than 1 week and the clinic still have not called me to inform me about my helper blood test. This is a clinic that i would strongly advise against anyone to go! It is now 2 wks since. I have called the clinic every day and no pick up. I even went down to the clinic last week but it was not open. This is unacceptable. I paid for the test, I should be informed of the result! Update: the clinic has called me and apologise for the experience and offered refund of $70 for the consult and test. I hope they will learn from this experience.
I have seen Dr Joyce for many years but this is the first time I wrote a review. She is definitely without a doubt the best doctor you could ever find. She is very caring, patient, professional and sincere. She took her time to understand your condition and will recommend the best solution for you. I'm very blessed and grateful to know Dr Joyce. I believe many of her patients will feel this way. Hopefully we can find more doctors like her.

GP consultation fees at private family clinics in Singapore typically run S$25–60 for a standard visit, with follow-up consultations at the lower end of that range. Common add-ons billed separately include investigations such as a blood panel (S$60–200), urine dipstick or culture, throat swab, or X-ray referral; prescribed medications; and medical certificate issuance. GST applies on private medical services. For planned procedures or specialist referrals, request a written financial counselling estimate that separates insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions. Confirm the current consultation fee directly with the clinic before attending, as pricing can vary by visit type and duration. See the full GP & 24-Hour Clinics cost guide for Singapore →
No MOH Healthcare Services Licence or Singapore Medical Council (SMC) registration appears in the current listing data for Dr Joyce and Partners Family Clinic Toa Payoh. Every legitimate clinic must hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence under the Healthcare Services Act, verifiable on the MOH licensee directory. Every practising doctor must appear on the SMC public register at smc.gov.sg — searchable by name to confirm registration status, specialist accreditation, and any disciplinary history. Verify both the clinic licence and the named doctor's SMC entry before booking. The absence of these details in the listing does not mean they are absent in practice, but you should request confirmation directly from the clinic. For surgical specialisms, a Royal College or Academy of Medicine Singapore fellowship (FRCS or FAMS) is the meaningful additional credential beyond basic SMC registration.
At GP level, MediSave can be used for outpatient treatment of chronic conditions listed under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP) — including hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, stroke, asthma, COPD, and selected mental health conditions — up to S$500 per year (or S$700 for CDMP-registered patients). Routine acute consultations such as a cough or fever are generally not MediSave-claimable at the outpatient level. Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life primarily cover inpatient stays and day surgery, subject to deductibles, co-insurance, and rider rules. For any planned referral leading to a specialist or surgical pathway, request pre-authorisation and a Letter of Guarantee from your insurer before the procedure to avoid claim disputes. Confirm with the clinic which MediSave codes apply to your specific condition, and request a written financial estimate splitting insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions for any planned treatment.
