Time is the most critical element when seeking medical consultation.
The more complex and chronic the medical condition, the longer the time needed for evaluation and treatment.
Any delays or extensions in your stay will not only be inconvenient but will incur extra hotel charges
These tips will help you obtain maximal benefit from every consultation.

  • Bring as much information from your previous investigations as possible, as comparisons with historical data is often useful
  • If there are Xrays, bring them along. Reports will not be adequate
  • If you are on long term medications, bring them along for the doctor to review
  • While you may have undergone investigations overseas, some of these tests may need to be repeated, firstly for verification and secondly if they are not adequately current. It is therefore advisable to come for your appointment after an overnight fast ( no food from 10pm the night before, but plain water may be consumed ) as this will allow all tests to be performed on the same day, thus minimising delays
  • Try to avoid straddling Singapore public holidays or weekends for your consultation. This will avoid unnecessary delays in investigations and results availability. While it is possible to perform all tests during public holidays and even Sunday, this will incur extra cost.  Click here for a list of Singapore public holidays
  • Request for a 9am appointment as this will allow maximum time for tests to be done and results to be available by the same day
