Best western med doctor in the neighborhood! Caring and detailed. Hence the queue is very long if you come late in the morning. Oh, it’s an old school clinic so they DO NOT have link nor take call for pre appointments, you have to arrive in person (whether it’s the patient or family member to make at counter registration for queue number)- do remember to bring the patient’s NRIC for first timers! Cash and Paynow only (there’s ocbc and posb atm at a nearby block- where NTUC is- if you need to draw cash ahead) Not sure why some said the two nurse assistants are rude, I think it’s mutual respect. Sometimes only one nurse assistant is on duty, so she may be swarmed, understanding is kindness:) The visiting hours in google are wrong, please see my photos for the current latest operation hours:)

First time visiting, the clinic is very clean, and the doctor is kind. He even took the time to explain my nose alignment, which another doctor at a different clinic only briefly mentioned when I asked. The doctor thoroughly explained my condition and the medication he is prescribing for me. It was an understanding and kind experience from the beginning to the end of my visit.

How much does Mao Medical Centre and Surgery charge?›

Is Mao Medical Centre and Surgery MOH-licensed and how do I verify the doctor?›
No MOH Healthcare Services Licence or Singapore Medical Council (SMC) registration has been confirmed in the data currently held for this listing. Every legitimate private clinic in Singapore must hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence under the Healthcare Services Act, and every practising doctor must appear on the SMC public register at smc.gov.sg — searchable by name to confirm registration status, specialist accreditation, and disciplinary history. Patients are strongly encouraged to verify both the clinic's MOH licence and the consulting doctor's SMC registration directly before booking. Neither alone is sufficient — both should be in order. If in doubt, contact MOH or check the MOH licensee directory online.
How do I use MediSave or insurance at Mao Medical Centre and Surgery?›
Most straightforward GP visits are paid out of pocket at the point of service. MediSave can be used for outpatient treatment of approved chronic conditions under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP) — covering hypertension, diabetes, lipid disorders, asthma, stroke, COPD, selected mental health conditions, and others — up to S$700 per year. General outpatient MediSave withdrawals outside CDMP are limited to S$500 per year. Integrated Shield Plans layered on MediShield Life generally do not cover standard GP consultations but do cover inpatient stays and day surgery. If a referral to a specialist or hospital is needed, request a written referral letter — this unlocks the subsidised Specialist Outpatient Clinic pathway at public hospitals for eligible Singapore Citizens. For any planned procedure, request an itemised written estimate splitting insurance, MediSave, and out-of-pocket portions before proceeding.
