For a first visit, patients typically complete an intake consultation during which the TCM practitioner conducts tongue and pulse diagnosis before recommending a treatment approach — which may include acupuncture, herbal prescription, tui na, cupping, or moxibustion depending on the presenting condition or wellness goal. It is worth noting any chronic conditions, current medications, or contraindications ahead of the consultation. Recurring treatment packages and single-session options are both common in TCM practice; confirm term commitment and cancellation terms before proceeding.

"This clinic is excellent; the staff and doctors are very friendly. Regarding restroom usage times, I'd like to suggest that cleaning could be scheduled outside of regular clinic hours. This would ensure a clean environment without disrupting patient and visitor use. As for cleaning methods, water-saving techniques could be considered, avoiding excessive water splashing on the floor. Especially during non-holiday periods when people are visiting their hometowns, slippery floors might require extra attention. Furthermore, who should be held responsible if a patient falls? Considering that most patients are elderly, I suggest installing handrails in the corridors for added safety. Of course, this is just a suggestion, and I hope it will be adopted. Finally, I wish everyone good health."
Went to the Woodlands outlet for knee and heel pain issue, was treated by Loo Lian Cheang and his trainee staff who exemplified great professionalism and knowledge throughout the whole visit and acupuncture procedure. They asked several questions to understand my issues and pain area before diagnosing and recommending the treatment. Thank you!
Very good acupuncture. No pain no blood. My sprained knee feels better after that.
Well known Chinese Medical Center. Regular treatment like Acupuncture costs only $21 with subsidy. Friendly staffs and doctors.
I encountered a neurological condition that caused limping and numbness. After receiving acupuncture treatment, I experienced a substantial improvement, with an approximate 80% reduction in symptoms. The healthcare professionals involved displayed remarkable compassion and professionalism throughout the process. I highly recommend this treatment option.

Specific session fees were not provided in this listing and should be confirmed directly with the clinic. In Singapore, TCM consultations typically range from S$20–50 for a standard consultation, with acupuncture sessions running S$40–100 and herbal prescriptions costing S$30–80 or more depending on the formula and quantity dispensed. Recurring treatment packages often offer a reduced per-session rate compared with walk-in pricing. Confirm whether the quoted fee covers the consultation and treatment together or bills them separately, and ask about any surcharge for first-time patients. No-show and late-cancellation policies vary by clinic and are worth clarifying before your first appointment. See the full TCM cost guide for Singapore →
No GP referral is required to attend a TCM clinic in Singapore — you may book directly. At a first visit, the practitioner will conduct an intake assessment covering your presenting complaint, medical history, current medications, allergies, and any relevant lifestyle factors before recommending a treatment plan. If you intend to claim the consultation or treatment costs under an insurance policy or MediShield Life, a referral or letter from a western-trained doctor may be required by your insurer — check your policy before attending. For complex or chronic conditions where both western and TCM treatment are ongoing, informing both practitioners ensures care is coordinated safely.
In Singapore, TCM practitioners are regulated by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board (TCMPB) under the Ministry of Health. Registration is mandatory for anyone practising acupuncture, prescribing Chinese proprietary medicines, or performing other listed TCM acts — and is publicly verifiable on the TCMPB register at moh.gov.sg. No licence information was provided in this listing. Before booking, ask the clinic for the consulting practitioner's TCMPB registration number and verify it on the public register. This step is particularly important if you are seeking acupuncture, as only TCMPB-registered practitioners are legally permitted to perform the procedure in Singapore. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the TCMPB public register before treatment.
