M Lam Clinic is a doctor's clinic at 739 Geylang Rd in Singapore's Geylang neighbourhood, with a Google rating of 3.8. A good neighbourhood GP is judged less on equipment than on judgement: the everyday coughs, fevers and aches that fill most clinics, yes, but also the steady management of blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol, and knowing when a problem needs referring on to a hospital specialist. Regulars tend to value continuity, seeing a doctor who remembers their history and medications, so it is worth asking how a practice runs its appointments before settling on one. Bring a list of what you are taking, and ask whether a clinic takes part in CHAS, the scheme that subsidises consultation fees for Singaporean households; charges vary between practices, so it is a fair question to put to any of them. On a busy stretch of Geylang Rd, M Lam Clinic gives those who live and work nearby a doctor within easy reach.
