For new patients, the typical first step is a consultation during which the practitioner assesses your presenting condition — whether that is musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, digestive issues, or another concern — through tongue diagnosis, pulse reading, and case history. From there, a treatment plan is drawn up covering modalities such as acupuncture, tui na, or herbal prescription. Returning patients may wish to enquire about package options versus single-session bookings, and it is worth confirming the cancellation policy before scheduling.

Took my mother to Mr Lin chih chiang who is the senior tcm consultant with a long list of credentials. Saw the Google reviews and assumed it was good. Clinic looks nicely renovated but it was empty. That was the first bad vibe. My mum hurt her knee while walking, there was an obvious ‘crack’ sound after the sprain. Mr Lin told my mum to sit down, then asked her to lift her knee and then lower it back down. Told her to repeat the actions slowly 3 times. But he didn’t do anything but merely asked her many questions. Asked my mum a list of questions like - what colour is your faeces? How often do you go to the toilet? Do you eat meat? What kind of meat? What kind of veggies? Do you exercise? What time do you sleep? What time do u wake? Can you change your shoes to covered shoes? After my mum answered his questions, he concluded that she was well already. Claimed that her leg is looser than before. But he didn’t do anything at all. He didn’t even touch her leg. Just told her to lift it. He said that her bone was not broken and if it hurts, she should see a doctor for x ray in 3 days time. I asked if he was going to do any adjustment or acupuncture since he was trained in it, but he said it’s swollen so he won’t do anything. Told me to let mum sleep more. He insisted that she didn’t need any treatment. And omg. How could he even call himself a tcm? That was all? I asked him 2 times if he was going to treat her leg physically. And he said no, she just needed sleep. Let her sleep more. I was in disbelief and asked if he could do something more to treat the leg. He went and pasted a piece of 40 cents plaster over my mum’s leg (I could have bought the same $4 for 10 pieces plaster) from any medical hall. He prescribed 7 days of powered med which didn’t work. After finishing the med, my mum’s leg was even more swollen. We then went to basement 1 of the same complex to find a truly experienced tcm sinseh who just merely looked at my mum and said her bone in the knee is misaligned. He said it was so swollen because the bone is misaligned.. So any medicine would not have worked. The real sinseh adjusted her bones, did acupuncture and used qigong to treat my mom. She instantly felt better. The price was the same! I will never go to sinchong again because they aren’t the real tcm. They merely charge tcm price but minus any real treatment. We came out of sin chong feeling absolutely cheated. Mr Lin, I would very much have prefer if he had at least pretended to treat my mum instead of doing nothing.

I went to Sinchong people park centre to see Doctor Sun Ding Bang for acupuncture treatment for my face. My face brightened up and dark circles lightened up within 2 sessions. I also lose weight slowly after doing body acupuncture because it is difficult to lose weight during menopause.

Not worth going. Total waste of time. The waiting time was extremely long, and they even let another customer cut my queue just because the person complained, despite the fact that I had already waited for over an hour. Very poor service and queue management.

Dr Stephen Lau is very experienced and the prescriptions work very well for me. Sadly to say the staff that pick up phone are mostly cold and rude . Fees are not cheap though.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Sinchong TCM charge per session?›
Specific per-session fees were not published at the time of this listing. In Singapore, TCM consultations typically run S$30–60 per visit, with acupuncture sessions ranging from S$50–120 depending on the number of needles and duration. Tui na sessions are usually S$40–80, and herbal prescriptions are costed separately at S$20–60 per week of supply. Many TCM practices offer package pricing for a course of treatment — typically six to ten sessions — at a modest discount versus paying per visit. Confirm the session fee, whether the initial consultation carries a separate charge, and the no-show or late-cancellation policy before committing. See the full TCM cost guide for Singapore →
Do I need a referral or assessment first?›
No GP referral is required to visit a TCM practice in Singapore, though having one can be helpful if you intend to claim under Medisave or an Integrated Shield Plan — some insurers require a western-medicine referral for reimbursement of TCM services. At the first visit, expect an intake consultation covering your medical history, current medications, lifestyle, and presenting symptoms. The practitioner will conduct pulse and tongue diagnosis before recommending a treatment plan. If you have a complex or chronic condition, or are pregnant, bring any relevant medical reports so the practitioner can assess contraindications before commencing treatment.
Is the practitioner at Sinchong TCM licensed?›
In Singapore, TCM practitioners — including acupuncturists and TCM physicians who prescribe herbal medicine — must be registered with the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board (TCMPB) under the Ministry of Health. Registration is mandatory and verifiable on the TCMPB public register at moh.gov.sg. No regulatory licences were listed for Sinchong TCM at the time of this entry. Before booking, ask for the consulting physician's TCMPB registration number and cross-check it on the public register. This takes under a minute and confirms the practitioner holds a recognised qualification and is in good standing. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the relevant board's public register before treatment.
