About Singapore Chung Hwa Medical Institution (Woodlands)
Singapore Chung Hwa Medical Institution (Woodlands) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinic located at Woodlands Avenue 6, serving residents across the north of Singapore and beyond. It holds a KakiList verified status and carries a 4.1/5 rating across 52 Google reviews — a moderate sample that provides a reasonable directional indicator of patient experience.
When attending for the first time, patients typically complete an intake consultation during which the practitioner assesses the presenting condition through TCM diagnostic methods — pulse reading, tongue examination, and patient history. Common presentations include musculoskeletal pain, respiratory conditions, digestive complaints, menstrual irregularities, and general wellness maintenance. Treatment options may include acupuncture, herbal medicine, tui na, and cupping. It is worth confirming in advance whether a specific practitioner handles your condition, whether you are booking a one-off session or a recurring treatment course, and the clinic's cancellation policy.
To make an enquiry or book an appointment, contact the clinic directly by phone or through the enquiry form listed on this page, and ask about the first-consultation format, expected session duration, and whether a treatment package suits your needs.
Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the TCMPB public register before treatment.
"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 GP referral is required to attend a TCM clinic in Singapore. For a first visit at Singapore Chung Hwa Medical Institution (Woodlands), expect a structured intake consultation covering your presenting complaint, medical history, current medications, and any contraindications — particularly relevant if you are pregnant, on blood thinners, or managing a chronic condition alongside Western treatment. If you intend to claim through an integrated shield plan or corporate health benefits, check with your insurer first — some plans require a GP referral for TCM reimbursement to be processed, even though the clinic itself does not mandate one. Bringing a list of current medications is advisable if you are considering herbal prescription alongside other treatments.
In Singapore, all practising TCM physicians must be registered with the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board (TCMPB) under the Ministry of Health. Registration is mandatory and publicly verifiable on the TCMPB's online register at moh.gov.sg — search by the practitioner's name before your appointment. Registered practitioners are licensed to perform acupuncture and prescribe Chinese herbal medicines; those without a valid TCMPB registration are not legally permitted to do so. Note that no regulatory licence is currently listed for this provider on KakiList. It is advisable to confirm the consulting practitioner's TCMPB registration number directly with the clinic before booking, particularly if you are seeking acupuncture treatment.
