Yeow Neurology and Medical Clinic Pte Ltd - 3 Mount Elizabeth

I am thankful that Dr Yeow took the time to explain and let me decide if I should perform a head-scan. Truth is I didn’t think there is anything in my head, and he agreed my symptoms are not indicative of something serious. However he did mention that if doing the scan would reassure me , we can do it. He is a practical doctor , don’t over diagnose or over sell and he is not rude at all. A little old Skool but still friendly . He took the time to explain the difference in the prescription that I was taking from the Gp and the ones he was giving . Stress was part of the conversation and I believe everyone deals with it differently . ( he is not a shrink btw) The previous comments did scare me and I was gonna cancel my appt but thankfully I didn’t and decided to give it a shot. The whole consultation was like okay for me.

The experience at this clinic was unpleasant. Before I even spoke the doctor has been rude and unwelcoming. I can only assume that after reading the referral letter had a biased view even before meeting me, (perhaps thinking I've been referred incorrectly to him). I have been referred to Neurology/Internal medicine. But after reviewing with Fullerton Health, they advised me to go ahead with Neurology and they booked an appointment at this clinic on my behalf. To be honest, my condition is ambiguous, I will experience severe brain fog/confusion after having almost any form of carbohydrates (sometimes it could last for days). The GP that I've consulted had a hard time figuring the possible source of my chronic issue. Which has severely affected my performance at work and in my daily life as I am constantly fatigued (it's hard to escape any form of simple carbohydrates in an Asian society). After hearing from me, instead of being empathetic, he passed uncalled for remarks such as "just don't eat them, then". I already know that? I'm here to seek medical advice, not to get schooled. The entire conversation was peppered with hints that "I'm wasting his time". The consultation ended with a simple test of following his fingers using my eyes and a blood pressure check. He concluded that there's nothing wrong with my brain, which is to my relief.

Highly NOT recommended. Never had such a terrible consultation experience before. The doctor was confrontational from the get-go. I'm not sure if that's just his personality, but his bedside manner left much to be desired. I felt like a suspect in an interrogation with the bad cop. He'd cut me off or interrupt with rapid fire questions. I wasn't able to give a full description of anything and had to rush through my statements as he seemed so impatient. He appeared uninterested and dismissive of any information, getting things wrong even after corrections. He also made assumptions of my condition, for example focusing on my period migraines, ignoring my regular migraines and telling me that they are caused by stress so just "don't be stressed and I'll be fine". Oh, okay then. People pay money for this? I tried to tell him about my smell or motion triggers but he just ignored them. To him, it had to be either stress and/or my period, end of story. Felt like he already made his own conclusions due to my age or gender and nothing I said made a difference. He booked an MRI for me even though he said it will probably show that I'm fine, but (to paraphrase) "if I keep worrying about my brain, it will make me more stressed and trigger more migraines". I was frustrated with this as I'd not worried about my brain before and it was NOT the cause for the escalation of my condition. It was also not why I had even come for this consultation. I was constantly feeling like I had to be on the defensive, which is insane because this is a doctor's appointment, not a debate. He did a few routine neurological tests, blood pressure, eyes etc. Those were fine. The counter staff are nice. Too bad about the doctor. I'm only glad this was covered under insurance because I 100% would not recommend and would not pay for anything here. I'd rather wait a few months to get way better service at the government hospital. Will definitely not come here again.
