Chee Seng Medical Hall is a neighbourhood pharmacy at 61 Teban Gardens Road, #01-09, in Jurong East, Singapore. It holds a 4.6 Google rating and keeps a Facebook page rather than its own website. A good local pharmacy is more than a counter for collecting medicine. Pharmacists in heartland medical halls deal daily with the small complaints of family life — coughs, fevers, rashes — and the good ones ask what else you're taking before suggesting anything, as ordinary remedies can clash with blood pressure pills or blood thinners. In Singapore, many of the more effective medicines sit behind the counter and need a pharmacist's sign-off rather than a prescription, so describe your symptoms properly. The surest sign of a good pharmacy is being pointed towards a doctor instead of sold another box. For families in the Teban Gardens flats, having a well-rated medical hall along the road makes those small health decisions that bit easier.
