Making an appointment with our dietitians

Our dietitians are available for both face-to-face consultations and teleconsultations.

If you have a medical condition or are on long-term medication, you will need a referral letter from your doctor. A referral letter is also required for all paediatric cases involving growth or medical issues.

For general consultations, you can call us directly at +65 6812 3781 to schedule an appointment without a referral letter.
