About Goh Clinic and Surgery Hougang
Goh Clinic and Surgery Hougang is a general practice clinic located at Kovan City, Hougang Street 21, serving the north-east of Singapore. It holds a 4/5 rating across 117 Google reviews, which is a robust sample and provides a reasonable indication of patient experience. No regulatory licences have been confirmed in the listing data, and ACRA registration has not been verified, so prospective patients are advised to confirm the clinic's MOH Healthcare Services Licence and the consulting doctor's Singapore Medical Council (SMC) registration directly before attending.
For a first visit, patients typically walk in or call ahead to check waiting times. A GP consultation covers acute conditions, chronic disease management, repeat prescriptions, referrals to specialist outpatient clinics, and pre-employment or travel health needs. The Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP) covers a range of listed conditions — including hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and lipid disorders — allowing eligible patients to use MediSave of up to S$700 per year for outpatient treatment at CDMP-enrolled clinics. Where a specialist referral is needed, a GP referral letter supports a subsidised polyclinic or public hospital SOC pathway, typically at S$30–80 for Singapore Citizens, though waits of four to twelve weeks are common for non-urgent appointments.
Contact the clinic by phone to check same-day appointment availability or current waiting times before making your way to Kovan City.
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.

Dr. Malcolm Goh is a brilliant doctor. He has an uncanny ability to pinpoint the source of the symptoms with remarkable accuracy. He's very thorough, asking detailed questions that sometimes feel a bit intrusive but I feel it's necessary questions to be asked. However, I understand that his probing is driven by a desire to get a complete picture of my health. I appreciate his dedication to finding the right diagnosis and providing effective treatment. Once you get to know Dr. Goh, you'll come to realize he's actually caring at heart.

GP consultations at private general practice clinics in Singapore typically run S$25–60, with follow-up visits at the lower end of that range. On top of the consultation fee, expect to pay separately for investigations such as a blood panel (S$60–200), urine tests, or a referral letter, as well as prescribed medications. GST applies on private medical services. For CDMP-enrolled conditions, patients can use MediSave of up to S$700 per year to offset outpatient costs at participating clinics. For any planned procedure or investigation, request a written breakdown of the fees — consultation, investigation, medication, and any procedure — before authorising the work.

No regulatory licences have been confirmed in the current listing data for Goh Clinic and Surgery Hougang. Before attending, verify independently that the clinic holds an MOH Healthcare Services Licence under the Healthcare Services Act — this can be checked on the MOH licensee directory online. Every practising doctor in Singapore is also listed on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register at smc.gov.sg; search by the consulting doctor's name to confirm active registration status and any specialist accreditation. Neither the clinic licence nor the doctor's SMC entry alone is sufficient — confirm both. ACRA registration has not been verified for this provider either, so it is worth confirming the business's registered status before your visit.
At a GP clinic, MediSave can be used under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP) for listed conditions — including hypertension, type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, stroke, asthma, COPD, and selected mental health conditions — with a withdrawal limit of up to S$700 per year. A general outpatient MediSave withdrawal limit of S$500 per year applies for non-CDMP conditions at enrolled clinics. Confirm whether the clinic is enrolled in CDMP before your visit if you intend to use MediSave. Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life generally cover inpatient stays and day surgery rather than routine GP consultations, though some riders include outpatient benefits — check your specific plan terms. For any referral to a specialist or planned investigation, request a written fee estimate that itemises the expected consultation, investigation, and out-of-pocket costs before proceeding.
