Patients typically begin with a first consultation during which the TCM practitioner conducts tongue and pulse diagnosis, reviews presenting conditions or wellness goals, and outlines a treatment plan. This may include acupuncture, herbal medication, cupping, or tui na, depending on the condition. Patients should clarify whether they are seeking treatment for a specific complaint — such as pain management, digestive issues, women's health, or fatigue — or general wellness support. It is worth confirming upfront whether sessions are charged individually or whether multi-session packages are available, and asking about the cancellation policy before committing.
To take the next step, contact Yi En TCM Clinic directly by phone or through the enquiry form on their listing to book a first consultation and confirm current appointment availability.
Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the relevant board's public register before treatment.
With an appnt made ahead of time, waiting time at the clinic was minimal compared to many other places I have visited. Dr Lim (林诗韵医师) is very professional and detailed during the consultation, which put me very much at ease. My children consult her too. She is as good and patient with the children.

I have never written a google review before but the experience was so confusing and infuriating. Came in for a lower back sprain that persisted for a week & needed an immediate relief. Booked an appointment timing but was only able to see the doc 1 hour later. Explained exact situation to doctor but got a very brief check on the back & was told that using external ointment is sufficient. The whole diagnosis was so brief and dismissive that I thought that my backpain was pretty minor. Went on to take my pulse and told me that I needed to sleep 8 hours a day and not drink cold water because my body is cold. I asked if I needed any acupuncture or tui na because my lower back is very painful & I really need a relief to take care of my young kids. Was told that her appointment is full and cannot do it today & can look for her colleagues instead but doubt there is any slot. Went to foot the bill & was told that its a whopping $180+ bill. Was so shocked to see the receipt. How can the external ointment cost that much & was told that the doctor curated a 2 weeks worth medicine just for me which makes up majority of the cost. Was so dumbfounded because firstly, I came in for a back sprain not to tiao body, secondly the only diagnosis I got was to sleep more & not drink cold water which was super generic. Paid for the bill in the end since the medicine is already dispensed but was so frustrated with the entire experience. They did service recovery by offering a free acupuncture afterwards but honestly this entire miscommunication or lack of transparency and clarity needs improvement.
I’ve been seeing Dr Ace Wong for nearly two years. My mom, two sisters and brother are also her patients. I used to sweat excessively from the slightest movement like mopping the floor. I had to take a nap to replenish my energy instead of heading to the shower. In addition, I used to have cold and bluish-green palms, a sign of poor blood circulation. These two conditions were reversed after taking Dr Wong’s medicines for a few months. These days I feel much more energetic than in the past. Dr Wong has an assistant by the name of King, who provides treatments including moxibustion, cupping, and tuina. I receive cupping treatment twice a month to rid my body of moisture. Just recently, I suffered from stiff neck and experienced difficulty in turning my head to check my blind spots while driving. One session of tuina was all it took for me to recover from the painful condition. The team at Yi En is professional, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The clinic is well maintained; even the washroom is very clean. I visit the clinic fortnightly.

Yi En TCM Clinic is listed at a mid-range price point ($$), though specific per-session fees are not publicly displayed. In Singapore, a standard TCM consultation typically runs S$20–50, with acupuncture sessions ranging from S$40–100 and herbal prescriptions billed separately at S$20–80 per week's supply depending on the formula. Multi-session packages, where offered, usually provide a modest discount over single-visit rates. Confirm the exact consultation fee, the cost of any procedures (acupuncture, cupping, tui na), herbal medication pricing, and the cancellation or no-show policy directly with the clinic before your first visit. GST applies to healthcare services from GST-registered providers, so it is worth checking whether quoted prices are inclusive. See the full TCM cost guide for Singapore →
No formal referral is required to visit Yi En TCM Clinic. First-time patients typically complete a brief intake form covering medical history, current medications, and presenting symptoms before the consultation begins. The practitioner will then carry out tongue and pulse diagnosis as part of the initial assessment. If you have a complex or chronic condition, bringing any relevant medical reports or a list of prescribed medications is helpful, as some herbal formulas may interact with pharmaceutical drugs. A GP referral is not required for TCM, but having one can support an insurance claim if your policy covers TCM treatment — check your insurer's panel and documentation requirements in advance.
In Singapore, TCM practitioners must be registered with the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board (TCMPB) under the Ministry of Health. Registration covers acupuncturists and TCM physicians separately, and you can verify any practitioner's name and registration status on the TCMPB public register at moh.gov.sg. Yi En TCM Clinic has been verified by KakiList, confirming that operating details and contact channels are accurate. However, no regulatory licence is listed in the clinic's current profile. Before your first appointment, ask the clinic for the treating practitioner's TCMPB registration number and cross-check it on the public register to confirm they are in good standing. This is standard practice and any legitimate TCM clinic will provide it without hesitation. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the relevant board's public register before treatment.
