About Five Elements TCM Clinic
Five Elements TCM Clinic is a traditional Chinese medicine practice located at 14 Upper Circular Rd, #02-01, Singapore 058412, serving patients islandwide. The clinic has been verified by KakiList, meaning operating details and contact channels have been confirmed by a real person. It holds a 5/5 rating across 6 Google reviews, though this is a very small sample and should be treated as directional only. Pricing is positioned in the mid-range tier.
Patients typically begin with an initial consultation during which the practitioner takes a detailed case history, assesses tongue and pulse, and identifies the presenting condition — whether that is musculoskeletal pain, digestive complaints, women's health concerns, fatigue, or stress-related conditions. From there, a treatment plan is discussed, which may include acupuncture, tui na, cupping, herbal prescription, or a combination. You can enquire about single sessions versus ongoing packages, and whether treatment is available at the clinic or through any outreach arrangements. The clinic can be reached via WhatsApp, phone, or the online enquiry form.
To take the next step, reach out via WhatsApp or phone to describe your condition and book an initial consultation slot.
Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the TCMPB public register before treatment.
Physician Ng is very dedicated to her practice, attentive to detail and has excellent bedside manner. She considers each patient as a whole-being, mindful of all the faculties; and provides individualised treatment through specialised acupuncture. I have been benefiting being under her care for several chronic and complex health issues, both mentally and physically. Her clinic in Dunlop Street is lovely--really clean and aesthetically pleasing.
Physician Ng is very patient and a good listener. She takes into details and asks precise questions to understand the root cause as well as your character - as this is what five element treatment does. She nailed my issue right on and I felt better physically and emotionally after few treatments. I believe this is what it’s supposed to do: not only to cure but to improve your wellness. Highly recommended!
Coming from a background of western medicine, I did not know what to expect as this is the first time I tried TCM. Ai Hwa was kind and patient, gently working through my problems and never rushed me into any treatment. And it helps she is bilingual! Under her care, using acupuncture, my symptoms have improved and beyond the physical, I am at greater peace and balance. Five elements acupuncture has helped me in ways I never expected.
Dr Ng is one of the gentlest, most intuitive and sensitive TCM doctors I've encountered here in Singapore. I highly recommend exploring sessions with her.
You DON"T want to MISS this doctor! Her heart is so for her patients that she will give it all she's got (and she has a lot!) to work the best treatment for them. In the very first consultation, she already set me at ease and I left with the certainty that she has committed herself to this healing journey with me even if it means it’s for the long haul. Had been experiencing chronic gastric and bloatedness for years. Have also consulted specialists before. But there seems to be a limit to what western medicine can do for now in this area for me. With Physician Ai Hwa, I’m beginning to see better days. Grateful! 😊

Five Elements TCM Clinic is positioned in the mid-range ($$) tier.

Note that GST may apply depending on the clinic's registration status. See the full TCM cost guide for Singapore →
No GP referral is needed to book a TCM consultation — you can contact Five Elements TCM Clinic directly via WhatsApp, phone, or the online form. At the first visit, expect to complete an intake form covering your medical history, current medications, and main complaint. The practitioner will then conduct a tongue and pulse assessment as part of the TCM diagnostic process. If you have a complex or chronic condition, bringing any existing medical reports or blood test results can help the practitioner form a more complete picture. If you are pregnant, on anticoagulants, or have a pacemaker, flag this before booking as certain modalities such as acupuncture and cupping carry specific contraindications that the practitioner will need to assess.
In Singapore, TCM practitioners — including acupuncturists and TCM physicians — must be registered with the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board (TCMPB) under the Ministry of Health. Registration is a legal requirement, and the public register is searchable on the TCMPB website at moh.gov.sg. No TCMPB licence appears in Five Elements TCM Clinic's current listing data. Before booking, ask the clinic directly for the treating practitioner's full name and TCMPB registration number, then verify it on the public register. Practitioner-level registration is separate from clinic-level registration, so confirm both where possible. Proceeding without verification is not advisable for any clinical treatment.
