New patients typically begin with a first consultation, during which the TCM practitioner conducts a full intake — reviewing presenting complaints, medical history, lifestyle factors, and tongue and pulse diagnosis. Common treatment modalities include acupuncture, cupping, tui na massage, and herbal medicine, which may be prescribed as raw herbs, granules, or patent formulae. It is worth confirming which modalities are available at this branch, whether a GP referral is required for insurance purposes, and whether there are any contraindications to discuss before treatment begins. Patients managing chronic conditions or on prescription medication should inform the practitioner at the outset.

"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.

No formal referral is required to consult a TCM practitioner at Singapore Chung Hwa Medical Institution (Whampoa). Most patients book directly and complete a brief intake form on arrival covering their health history, current medications, and presenting concerns. The practitioner will conduct a tongue and pulse assessment as part of the first consultation before recommending a treatment plan. That said, a GP referral letter can be useful if you intend to claim against a private health insurance policy, as some insurers require it for TCM reimbursement. Patients with complex or serious medical conditions — including those on blood thinners, pregnant women, or individuals recovering from surgery — should discuss contraindications with the practitioner before agreeing to acupuncture or tui na.
