Dr. Vyas Prasad of Nuffield Medical Orchard gave us a warm welcome when we came in for an appointment. Because he’s an established ENT specialist, we expected a thorough and detailed consultation—and that’s exactly what we got!
The clinic has an esteemed reputation in the country, so it’s not surprising to find top-notch equipment and facilities in use here.
We also inquired about the available payment schemes and were happy that many of them, including CHAS, are accepted.
This gives patients better flexibility when it comes to paying for quality health care. Dr. Prasad gave us tips and prescriptions for ear, nose, and throat care at a reduced price from the clinic’s pharmacy.
In terms of booking an appointment, we thought it would be easy enough to get a slot online, but we encountered slight issues with it. The interface was laggy, and we didn’t receive a confirmation until right before our appointment.
When we got to the clinic, I was thankful that our online reservation pushed through because the lines were getting pretty long. We still had to wait a few minutes before being escorted to Dr. Prasad’s office, but it wasn’t too bad.
I highly recommend visiting Nuffield Medical Orchard for all concerns about family medicine, ENT diseases, and acute conditions.
Pros
- Top-notch equipment and facilities
- Excellent range of payment schemes and insurance partners
Cons
- Maintenance problems with online reservation
- Long waiting times
Customer Reviews
Pleasant experience
“Requested for a health screening appointment on their website and received a call from their staff one day later. They were able to schedule an appointment for me the very next morning (unlike other clinics which require me to wait at least 2 months).
My experience there was really pleasant as the nurse, Wati, was really friendly and clear with her instructions. The drawing of blood for blood tests didn’t hurt at all! Also really appreciated the environment there which was really chill and peaceful.”—Zhi Hua, Google Reviews
Warm yet professional staff members
“It’s rare to describe a health screening experience as warm yet professional, but that’s what Nuffield is. Have been going back annually as the experience is always pleasant. Kudos to the team!”—Claire Hui Yee Tan, Google Reviews

Dr. Annabelle Leong is an ENT specialist and otolaryngologist in Singapore with over 17 years of medical experience. Her expertise and reputation in the medical industry made us book an appointment with her to learn more about how we can improve our health.
As an otolaryngologist, Dr. Annabelle Leong has worked on medical cases concerning children and adult ENT conditions like allergy sensitivity, hearing loss, and sinus problems.
We consulted with her about hearing problems and dizziness. She gave us expert tips and even inspected our ears, nose, and throat to diagnose our conditions properly.
She was very gentle, assuring, and supportive of our decisions to improve our ear health. She ensured we understood our symptoms and how to prevent them from returning.
In terms of booking an appointment, we initially wanted to reserve a slot on a Saturday, but the clinic’s operating hours are quite short. So, we opted for a weekday afternoon to give us more flexibility in reaching her.
It took a while for the clinic to respond to our queries, however. When we arrived at the clinic, the place was packed with patients, and we had to wait for about an hour before it was our turn.
The clinic receives a lot of patients per day, so if your schedule is tight, we highly recommend booking a reservation in advance.
If you’re coming in for more advanced symptoms, Dr. Annabelle Leong’s otolaryngology services are one of the best we recommend seeking.
Pros
- Specialised in evidence-based care
- Otolaryngology services available
Cons
- Short operating hours on weekends
- Long waiting times
Customer Reviews

Suitable for children
“We brought our boy to see Dr Annabelle. Dr Annabelle is professional, friendly and displayed high levels of empathy.

When it came to finding the best diagnostic centres for ENT conditions, The ENT Specialist Centre took one of the top spots in our list.
With varying medical services covering nose cancers, neck lumps, and hearing problems, there’s no shortage of treatments available here.
Dr. Dawn Teo, along with Dr. Ng Yuk Hui and Dr. Leslie Koh, spearheads the clinic and is a highly trained ENT specialist in Singapore. Their expertise span decades and they’re also sought-after for snoring treatment.
For our appointment, Dr. Teo used cutting-edge equipment to examine us and thoroughly explained the findings. Her approach was calming and very reassuring.
We also recommend seeing her for more serious conditions involving surgery. Just note that while the clinic is open on Saturdays, make sure to book an appointment early in the morning, as hours are quite short.
Overall, the appointment went smoothly, and the staff members were very helpful in guiding us regarding the next steps. The services here, however, are pricey due to the several examinations, but with the expert medical advice, we think it was worth the cost!
Pros
- Detailed examinations and explanations
- Cutting-edge equipment
Cons
- Short operating hours on weekends
- Pricey services
Customer Reviews

To address our sleep apnea and snoring problems, we sought the sound medical advice of Dr. Adrian Saurajen of Nobel ENT Centre. Located at Mount Alvernia Hospital, the clinic has no shortage of great diagnostic centres.
Dr. Adrian is also a great ENT specialist for kids, especially with his 20-year experience in the field. For our appointment, we talked about hearing loss management, ear infections, and dealing with obstructive sleep apnea.
The appointment went smoothly, and the findings from our medical history were thoroughly explained to us.
To make the most out of our appointment, we asked about the wide scope of services the clinic offers. Aside from general ENT emergency care, the clinic also offers balloon sinuplasty, screening for cancers, and throat disorder treatments.
Our only complaints are that the appointment hours here are short. There are also no clinic hours on weekends, which is a bummer.
However, Dr. Adrian advised us to call the clinic for emergency situations or appointment hours beyond clinic hours, if there is any need.
Overall, we highly recommend visiting Dr. Adrian for his medical advice or even for a second opinion!
Pros
- Wide scope of diagnostic and medical services
- Doctor has over 20 years of medical experience
Cons
- Short operating hours
- No clinic hours on weekends
Customer Reviews

Dr. Dennis Chua was referred to us by a friend who experienced chronic sinus problems, and we decided to seek his medical advice too.
As we headed into ENT Surgeons Medical Centre, we noticed the growing queue inside the clinic. Even though we booked an appointment ahead of time, we still had to wait before Dr. Chua welcomed us into his office.
The online booking process also took a while since the next available slots were a week after. When we finally got a confirmation, we were informed about the possible consultation fees—and they were pretty pricey, in our opinion.
However, the consultation was very detailed, and we were given sound medical advice about our concerns. We think that the pricey fees are worth every penny under Dr. Dennis Chua’s care.
Another thing we like about Dr. Dennis Chua’s clinic is that they offer facial plastic surgery. It’s pretty strategic since in a procedure like a rhinoplasty, the opinion of an ENT doctor would matter a lot.
Overall, we highly recommend seeing Dr. Chua for conditions concerning sinus problems, ear infections, and neck lumps.
Pros
- Excellent customer service
- Offers facial plastic surgery
Cons
- Pricey consultation
- Long waiting times
Customer Reviews
Professional and compassionate doctor
“No doubt Dr Dennis Chua is the best doctor when you have issues with ENT. he took effort to make you feel comfortable, assured and explain with patience. I was very assured and confident under his good hands. Highly recommended & I sincerely thank him for his professionalism. However though prices is quite high imo so be prepared but overall its all worth it under him. His clinic assistant service and attitude needs to be improved though, always seems to be in a rush to explain things and rude making the experience less perfect.”—Jason Koh, Google Reviews
Patients are comfortable and at ease
“Dr Dennis is a charming doctor. He will definitely keep you comfortable and at ease. I had issue with nose block. After a few sessions, I got better. The nasal bottle is really easy to use than the one you’ve seen in pharmacy.”—Cedric Chang, Google Reviews
