Anteh Dispensary is a general medical clinic on Lorong 22 Geylang that has cared for its neighbourhood since the 1990s. What began as a modest general practice focused on everyday healthcare needs has grown steadily into a broader medical centre — offering general consultations, diagnostic testing and health screening alongside focused services in sexual health, men's health, weight management and children's health — while staying true to its founding belief in reliable care built on clear communication and genuine concern for patients.
The clinic is one of only ten in Singapore offering anonymous HIV testing, supported with counselling and follow-up care. It also provides 3rd- and 4th-generation HIV tests, rapid syphilis testing, STI/STD screening and treatment, PEP and PrEP, and the monkeypox vaccine. Everyday family medicine, children's services, men's health care, medically guided weight management, work permit medicals, minor procedures and teleconsultations round out the offering.
Anteh opens every day of the year until 11pm, including weekends and public holidays, and welcomes both walk-ins and appointments. Patients consistently highlight caring, experienced doctors, friendly counter and nursing staff, thoughtful touches like refreshments at registration, and clear pricing with transparent medical guidance.
Tucked along Lorong 22 Geylang, Anteh Dispensary has quietly looked after the health of its neighbourhood for more than three decades. Founded in the 1990s as a modest general practice focused on everyday healthcare needs, the clinic has grown steadily into a fuller-service medical centre — but its founding idea has not changed: reliable medical care delivered through clear communication and genuine concern for the person across the desk.
Today the clinic serves patients of all ages, combining experience built over decades with modern medical practice. General consultations, diagnostic testing, health screening and follow-up care sit alongside focused services in sexual health, men's health, weight management and children's health, all provided under licensed medical practice.
Anteh is best known for one distinction: it is one of only ten clinics in Singapore offering anonymous HIV testing. Patients can be tested without providing any personal identifying information, with counselling and follow-up care built into the process. For those booking online, privacy extends to the appointment itself — you create your own identification code of three numbers and three letters, and on arrival simply tell staff your code with the words "AT Testing". No personal particulars are required for registration.
The testing menu is correspondingly thorough. Third-generation HIV tests cover potential exposures more than 90 days old, while fourth-generation tests are used within or equal to 90 days of a possible exposure, with results and consultation included in each 30-minute visit. Beyond HIV, the clinic offers a rapid syphilis test, STI and STD screening and treatment, PEP treatment after a possible exposure, PrEP for ongoing prevention, and the monkeypox vaccine. Men's health services — assessment for erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and other performance concerns, plus HPV vaccination — complete the picture.
Anteh remains at heart a family clinic. Doctors handle everyday illnesses, ongoing conditions and preventive care, while children are covered from infancy with baby vaccinations, cough and flu medicines suitable for young patients, and routine consultations on developmental concerns. A dedicated Weight Management Clinic offers medically guided programmes focused on safe, sustainable and personalised approaches, with structured treatment and follow-up.
Practical, procedure-based needs are handled too: minor surgery, ingrown toenail treatment and acne treatment are all on the list, alongside work permit medicals for employment documentation. Reviewers frequently mention the clinic's LPA (Lasting Power of Attorney) certification, describing a smooth, efficient process at a reasonable cost. For those who cannot visit in person, teleconsultations are available for suitable conditions.
The clinic's Google rating of 4.3 from nearly 500 reviews tells a consistent story. Patients name names — Dr Chai, praised for clear, patient explanations, and Dr Saiful, who explains things in easy-to-understand terms — along with staff like Andrea, Wai Yee and Julia at the counter. Small touches such as refreshments offered at registration come up again and again, as does the swift handling of medication dispensing and payment.
Accessibility is the other hallmark. Anteh opens every day of the year, including weekends and public holidays, until 11pm. Weekdays run in three sessions — 9am to 12pm, 2pm to 5pm and 7pm to 11pm — while Saturdays run 9am to 12pm, 1pm to 6pm and 7pm to 11pm, and Sundays and public holidays 1pm to 6pm and 7pm to 11pm. Walk-ins are welcome, and appointments can be made through the government Health Appointment System, by phone, or via WhatsApp.
For Geylang residents, it adds up to a rare combination: a neighbourhood clinic with decades of history, open late every night of the year, with the confidentiality and experience to handle the most sensitive health questions alongside the everyday ones. It is why patients keep returning — and keep recommending it to the people they care about.
