Dr Deng is friendly and warm. After doing the acupuncture and cupping on my stomach and taking the herbal medicine, I produced lots of gases the next day and it makes me feel good. The receptionist is also friendly and nice. The clinic environment is also very comfortable.

Have seen Dr Deng for my shoulder, it has been improving and have taken their medication. It takes a few times to gradually improve. So far it’s been very good. Happy to know Dr Deng. After shoulder, will see her for my sleep, hope to improve.

Physician Lin has received many good reviews. So decided to visit. When enter, no introduction was given who was physician Lin. Lin was standing while the trainee was keyboarding and asking questions. Lin shutting between other patients during consultation. Lin was blunt (unprofessional) when patient confessed self medication. Lin was reluctant to give constitution assessment upon requested, although she gave a brief one with reservation in the end. Overall experience was less positive than expectation.

Physician wang is good . My wife had injured her leg due to wearing high heels. His observation and analysis is spot on. She does not like to walk and has no muscle in her leg hence easier to get injured. Always been telling her to do some walking. Good treatment and advise given.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Shang TCM Clinic charge per session?›
Shang TCM Clinic is listed at the mid-range ($$) tier, but specific per-session fees were not provided at the time of listing. At TCM clinics in Singapore, a first consultation including acupuncture or tuina typically ranges from S$50 to S$120, with subsequent sessions S$40–S$90. Herbal medicine is usually billed separately, and a course of 4–8 sessions is commonly recommended for chronic conditions. Confirm the full fee structure — including any first-consultation surcharge, the cost per herbal prescription, and the cancellation or no-show policy — before booking. Package deals offering a reduced per-session rate are common but may require upfront payment, so clarify the refund terms if you cannot complete the course.

Do I need a referral or assessment first?›
No GP referral is required to book a TCM consultation in Singapore, though bringing relevant medical reports, blood test results, or imaging scans can help the practitioner understand your condition more fully. At the first visit, expect to complete an intake form covering your medical history, current medications, and presenting complaints, followed by a tongue and pulse assessment. Note that if you intend to claim against a MediSave or insurance policy, a GP referral letter may be required by your insurer — check your policy before attending. Patients with complex medical conditions, those who are pregnant, or those on anticoagulants should declare these at booking so the practitioner can advise on contraindications prior to any treatment.
Is the practitioner licensed?›
In Singapore, TCM practitioners must be registered with the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board (TCMPB) under the Ministry of Health. Registration can be verified at no cost on the TCMPB's online public register — search by the practitioner's name before your first appointment. Registration covers acupuncturists, TCM physicians, and those practising both; the register shows the scope of practice and any disciplinary history. No regulatory licences were listed for Shang TCM Clinic at the time this entry was written. We recommend confirming the consulting practitioner's TCMPB registration number directly with the clinic before attending. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the relevant board's public register before treatment.
