Hi All.

How to make polyclinic appointment - Sengkang or Tampines poluclinic? I use health buddy. Always there is no slot. I was told I must book appoint at 10pm the previous night. Still there is no slot. Tried now for weeks already. Can I just walk in early in the morning? Any input will be appreciated. Thank you.

Can walk-in (morning), but be prepared to wait

Also, try using HealthHub instead, there can also find appointments for NHG-run polyclinics like Hougang (near Sengkang).

Why don’t visit GP? Unless you need Xray or referral, visit GP better

I have been making polyclinics appointment for my kids for years without problem... No sure why only you have problem. One user problem certainly does not mean our medical services going down the drain. If you said the appointments are fully booked, it means the medical services are working for others. Maybe before you start blaming the system, start by using the right apps? Try figure out why the medical system is not working for you?

Try booking dental appointment to just get referral for oral related surgeries you will vomit blood! Can be months!

Nonetheless my assigned dentist is very professional and skillful!

Dental appointments, I just go JB. Don't even need appointment. I called and told them I wanted an appointment. They were dumbfounded. They asked why I needed an appointment when they have 17 dentists on standby, so I drove in and sure enough they did wisdom tooth extraction for my helper, on the spot, no queue no appointment.

I was shocked when I only had to pay $27 for consultation fee. The rest was deducted from Medisave.

Really saved a lot of money as no need to front money out of pocket. That is the only advantage of using government healthcare services.

But to be fair nowadays the local government healthcare doctors/dentists are very young and professional. Super polite some of them.

Compare to when I was young most of the doctors can be quite stucked up.
