About Healthway Medical AMK Ave 8
Healthway Medical AMK Ave 8 is a general practice clinic located at 721 Ang Mo Kio Ave 8, serving residents in the Ang Mo Kio area and across the island. The clinic is KakiList-verified, meaning a real person has confirmed its operating details and contact channel. It holds a 3.5/5 rating across 54 Google reviews — a moderate sample size, though the rating sits below the typical range for well-regarded GP clinics, and prospective patients should weigh individual reviews carefully. No MOH Healthcare Services Licence or SMC registration details have been provided in the listing data, which is a notable gap for a medical provider; patients are advised to confirm both directly with the clinic before booking. Pricing is indicated at the mid-range band ($$), consistent with typical GP consultation fees of S$25–60 in Singapore.
For a first visit, patients can reach the clinic via WhatsApp, phone, or the online enquiry form. As a general practice, the clinic would typically handle acute illness, chronic disease follow-up under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP — covering conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidaemia), and routine health screening. Subsidised consultations are available for Singapore Citizens and PRs holding a CHAS card, with charges varying by card tier. MediSave can be used for outpatient consultations under CDMP-listed conditions within the S$500–700 annual withdrawal limit. Patients covered by an Integrated Shield Plan should note that GP visits are generally not claimable under IP — IP coverage applies primarily to specialist, day-surgery, and inpatient settings.
To book an appointment or confirm current clinic hours and CHAS subsidy eligibility, contact Healthway Medical AMK Ave 8 directly via WhatsApp or phone before attending, as walk-in wait times at GP clinics can vary significantly during peak periods.
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.
Today I visited Dr. Jessie Tan due to a serious cough that had persisted for two days. I understand and respect that antibiotics should not be prescribed unnecessarily, and I was not insisting on antibiotics—especially as I have gastric issues and dislike taking them because they irritate my stomach. However, I felt uncomfortable with how my concerns were handled. Despite my explanation that my voice had clearly changed and felt very sore, I was told antibiotics were not needed because there was no swelling or pain. What confused me was being questioned in a way that made me feel as though I was requesting medication dishonestly, which was not the case. I was also told that next time I should not request specific medication. For example, although I usually take Dexilant for my gastric condition, I was instead prescribed omeprazole without much discussion. More concerning was the doctor’s tone and facial expression, which felt frustrated and unwelcoming, making me feel uncomfortable while I was already unwell. When I explained that my regular doctor—who had previously prescribed antibiotics—was not on duty and that I came to the GP out of urgency, the response felt dismissive and rude. I was asked why I didn’t just wait for my usual doctor, which I found unnecessary given the circumstances. I came simply seeking help to recover, not to demand medication or take advantage of anyone. I hope the doctor can reflect on communication style and approach patients with more empathy, especially when they are already sick and vulnerable.
I brought my baby to Dr Jesse for a consult and I am very thankful for such a caring and reassuring doctor. She was thorough in checking my baby and went the extra mile to help arrange a follow-up with a PD clinic. Truly appreciate her dedication and kindness.
Dr Jesse is amazing. Warm and friendly. However, I had a nasty encounter with one of her staff who was doing the registration. This staff, who was a young boy, did not manage the queue. There was a crowd and I was told to sit and wait, which I complied with. After waiting for sometime, this boy asked me and the rest of the people who were waiting as to who came first. As there was no way to determine who was next in the queue, a random guy went forward with the registration and a different staff instructed this boy to register me next. When it was supposed to be my turn to register, this same boy asked me and the rest again who was next in the queue. Feeling frustrated, I told him that I am not sure and he should be the one doing the tracking. How would a patient who had arrived to a crowded clinic, and was told to sit and wait, know what is his or her queue number? Tracking is his job and not mine. After saying that, this boy still had the nerve to reply: “you can just say you don’t know”. I was very alarmed by his response but decided not to pursue as there was no point in doing so. I have to say that although I was absolutely disgusted by his response, Dr Jesse and her other staffs have always been well liked and extremely competent.
Dr Jessie and the clinic staffs are super friendly and super kind to help and assist in every way they can for my child and myself knowing that the paediatric clinic below was closed. The genuine compassion from them is commendable! Thank you for being so helpful especially in time of need. Highly recommend!
Dr Jessie Tan is very kind, and helpful. Family clinic for my family for the past years.

GP consultation fees at private general practice clinics in Singapore typically run S$25–60 per visit for self-paying patients, with follow-up visits and medication dispensed on top. Healthway Medical AMK Ave 8 is listed at the mid-range pricing band, which aligns with this norm. CHAS cardholders (Blue, Orange, or Merdeka/Pioneer) receive subsidised rates for acute and chronic condition visits — confirm your CHAS tier at the counter, as the subsidy quantum differs by card type. MediSave can be used for outpatient treatment of CDMP-listed chronic conditions within the S$500–700 annual withdrawal limit. Common add-ons to budget for include investigations (blood panel S$60–200, urine test, X-ray S$80–150), prescribed medication, and any health screening components. GST applies on private medical services. See the full GP and 24-hour clinic cost guide for Singapore →
Every legitimate clinic must hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence issued under the Healthcare Services Act — verifiable on the MOH licensee directory at moh.gov.sg. Every practising doctor must be registered with the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) — searchable by name at smc.gov.sg, where you can confirm registration status, any specialist accreditation, and disciplinary history. Healthway Medical is a regional chain, and its individual clinic licence and the named doctor on duty should both be confirmable through these public registers. No licence details have been supplied in this listing, which is a gap. Patients are advised to confirm the clinic's MOH licence number and the attending doctor's SMC registration directly before booking, particularly for chronic disease management or referral letters where the doctor's credentials carry weight. For planned procedures or specialist referrals arising from a GP visit, request a written referral and confirm Integrated Shield Plan pre-authorisation requirements with your insurer in advance.
Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life generally do not cover standard GP outpatient visits — IP coverage applies primarily to private specialist consultations, day surgery, and inpatient stays. For GP visits, the relevant schemes are CHAS subsidies (bring your CHAS card) and MediSave under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP), which allows up to S$500–700 per year in outpatient MediSave withdrawals for listed conditions including hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, asthma, stroke, and selected mental health conditions. For any planned diagnostic investigations or referrals to a specialist arising from your GP consultation, request a written referral letter and check with your IP insurer whether pre-authorisation is required. For planned procedures at a private hospital, request a financial counselling estimate from the specialist clinic that splits insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions in writing before committing — this is the most common step patients skip that leads to billing surprises. Skipping pre-authorisation is the single most common reason IP claims are disputed after the fact.
