"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!

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.

See the full TCM cost guide for Singapore →
Do I need a referral or assessment first?›
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.
Is the practitioner licensed?›
In Singapore, TCM practitioners must be registered with the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board (TCMPB) under the Ministry of Health. This registration is mandatory and covers acupuncturists and TCM physicians practising in any licensed clinic. You can verify any practitioner's registration on the TCMPB public register at the MOH website by searching their full name. No specific licence details were provided for Singapore Chung Hwa Medical Institution (Whampoa) in this listing. Before your first appointment, it is advisable to confirm the consulting practitioner's name and TCMPB registration number directly with the clinic. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the TCMPB public register before treatment.
