Dr BL Lim Centre For Psychological Wellness - Psychiatrist Singapore - #09-09 Dr BL Lim Centre For Psychological Wellness - Psychiatrist Singapore

Dr Lim was really helpful for me - he provided me with a clear diagnosis and my treatment process was really smooth and easy. He’s very kind and calm and made me feel like I was in good hands, which I really appreciated because it was my first time seeking psychiatric help and I was rather nervous. Some of the reviews say otherwise, but I received quick service from the staff as well. He does not provide therapy though, but he can refer you to partner psychologists and provide treatment options. But personally, would definitely recommend if you are looking to get diagnosed and treated medically.

Seen Dr Lim several years back and after I came back to Singapore as things have been particularly tough with COVID-19. He is a very friendly and helpful Dr. Am grateful for his encouragements.

Dr Lim was pretty direct and rude. Mum asked if the medication prescribed is safe and his reply was: I have kids at home to feed aunty, do you think I would risk my license? An innocent question can elicit such reply from the doctor. Feel that his so called service is also overrated. Always in the media attention doesn’t means his services is gd,

I had anxiety disorder and insomnia couple months ago due to work stress. Before having these issues, I’ve been lacking focus in my life for many years. Until I seek helps from Dr. Lim this April, I was diagnosed with mild depression. I am glad to visit him early, otherwise I don’t think I am still surviving because I have suicidal thoughts when I couldn’t sleep for weeks coupling with severe anxiety disorder. After taking the medicines prescribed, although the first few weeks were rough with side effects, I felt better after the adjustment period. The medicines did its job to reduce the obsessive side of my depression and remove my constant invasive terrible thoughts. I am much more sociable, confident and pretty much getting my life back on track now. If you’re not feeling ok and need immediate assistance, I highly recommend Dr. Lim rather than going to polyclinic, get referral to see psychiatrists in general hospitals because the waiting time is super long. This is to prevent tragedy from happening because mental illness is something that cannot be ignored/neglected. It will directly affect our physical health.

I was in constant low mood and had very bad anxiety issues and finally decided to get help. I went to see Dr Lim last year as his name was the first that came up in the google search results. During the session, he diagnosed me with adjustment disorder. Upon further questions about my diagnosis, he actually questioned my reason for visiting him. He very not empathetic throughout the session and he was also trying to implying that I was FAKING my illness. Honestly, I do not think anyone with a logical mind would pay $200-$300+ and travel all the way down to your clinic just to pretend to be "ill"? My family was outraged by the cold and unempathetic attitude. We never went back and subsequently I found very caring doctors who genuinely cared me and was diagnosed with anxiety and depression, medicine was given as well. Lesson learnt is not to choose the first doctor you see on search results and read all reviews before visiting! Can you imagine a patient who was at their lowest and decided to seek help but was treated like this? Very bad experience. Don't even deserve a star. We will definitely not visit this clinic again. We also do not recommend this clinic to those seeking for hope in troubled times of illness.

The doctor is great and takes my opinions seriously when it comes to medication. However, the reception service isn’t the best considering they don’t reply on whatsapp but still give it as a way to contact them. Edit: Dr Lim spoke to me on my visit and assured me that it would be looked into. Really appreciate that :)

I’ve been under Dr BL Lim’s care since 2016. My mental health journey has had many ups & downs & I’m still trying hard to work towards a full recovery, if possible. I’m truly thankful for Dr Lim’s counsel, empathy & patience, which have made my journey more bearable. His non-judgemental attitude & open-mindedness have helped me to open up & leave me knowing that I’m in good hands. Kudos to his team (past & present) as well for their warmth, kindness & professionalism! ??

About a month ago, my mom recommended Dr Lim's clinic when I decided to seek treatment for suspected ADHD. Contrary to existing reviews, I do appreciate Dr Lim's candor. Very straightforward but with a handful of empathy. While I consider continuing to seek treatment from Dr Lim, the overall experience leaves much to be desired. The 2nd review accompanied by my bf (requested by Dr Lim) to assist the diagnosis felt extremely rushed, juxtaposed to the 45mins long 1st consultation my mom sat in for. I was oblivious that the duration for all subsequent visits are 15 mins sessions, which we found out after I unknowingly paid for an overrun. The experience could be improved if the receptionist were to inform me of every item charged for the clinic visit. I was verbally informed of the review (15mins session) fee + medication, but not the additional 1/2 block (+$50) for an overrun that was charged. The full itemised bill came as a rude shock after payment was made. Though the receptionist was quick to explain the charges when enquired, provision of information of charges before the session begins would really help avoid minor inconsistencies in service that stresses patients. It could have been avoided with a more meticulous rundown on the sessions and charges. I would still consider my overall experience at Dr Lim's clinic a positive one based on the 1st consultation despite this really unpleasant incident on my 2nd visit.
