Bukit Merah Family Clinic is a family clinic at Block 133 Jalan Bukit Merah, unit 01-1516, and it is part of the District Family Clinics group. The group says it was set up to bring back the feel of a traditional neighbourhood clinic, and it runs a home care arm called District mHealth for patients who cannot easily travel.
The website lists opening hours of 8.30am to 1.30pm, 2pm to 5pm, and 6pm to 9pm. The clinic also offers teleconsultation and e-pharmacy services, with medicines dispensed straight away. Vital signs must be taken in the clinic before a teleconsultation.
Patients praise the doctors for being thorough, detailed and patient, and say they explain the history-taking well. The nurses are described as friendly and gentle. One visitor found the clinic clean and bright, though they noted the doctor's room floor could be cleaner. Another family says they come whenever they are unwell, and found the staff kind and helpful. The reviews are not all positive, though. One family who travelled a long way on a Sunday arrived about 20 minutes before closing and say the staff would not see them.
Within a kilometre there are 29 other doctors. Ansari Family Clinic, Binjai Medical Clinic and Edgedale Medical Clinic are all at the same distance. Our pick in Bukit Merah for a family doctor whose team is warm, if you come well before closing.
