if you’re concerned about the harmful side effects of conventional medicine and looking for a more natural alternative that isn’t hogwash, this is it.
dr tai helped our cat recover from her nasty 10-min coughing/wheezing/sneezing fits with her 中西合拼 east-meets-west expertise, combining the best of modern medicine with traditional chinese medicine to yield the best results.
before dr tai, our previous regular vet advised us to run a battery of tests on our cat or to consider starting a steroid trial, which could mean our then-one-year-old cat will be on steroids for the rest of her life.
while we understood she had good intentions, we hoped for a better, more natural alternative that didn’t come bundled with side effects.
after being sponged by a TCM-only vet who charged us $550 for medication and one acupuncture session (and after that being told that our cat “may die” if we don’t bring her in every 3 days for treatment), we found dr tai.
contrary to what another reviewer is saying, dr tai truly cares for her furry patients. she is firm yet gentle, knowing when to distract them so she may gingerly insert another acupuncture needle; realistic but not all doom-and-gloom or excessive in her diagnosis, understanding that most pet owners do not own gold mines. instead of treatment every 3 days, we only had to bring tux is every 2 weeks, then every month when tux got better. after 5 treatments, tux stopped coughing entirely. to this day (one year later), tux is still energetic and chatty, completely unlike her silent and scared self when she was ill.
(another instance is while another well-meaning vet recommended that we bring tux for dental scaling ASAP [read: very expensive!], dr tai understood that we don’t have that much spare cash and gave us some other (more affordable) ways to keep tux’s teeth clean and healthy the best we can... to this day we’re still using the herbal solutions she recommended and seeing healthy pink gums on a gingivitis-prone cat.)
the treatments are reasonably priced—each acupuncture session costs about $100, but includes a vitamin b jab at the end that helps enhance the effectiveness of the tcm treatment.
also because it’s east-meets-west, medications are a lot easier to feed than the powdered herbs from a tcm-only vet. prices for “medication” (actually more like supplements that gradually and naturally balance your pet’s internal state) are also very reasonable, from my memory about $10 to $30 each and lasting for quite long.
every time we visit nam sang, there’ll be stray kitties that dr tai is fostering in her clinic for one animal welfare organisation or another. sometimes one or two, sometimes a whole litter. so to say that the kind-hearted souls at this clinic don’t care, or that they are just out for the money... is grossly inaccurate.
we recommend nam sang wholeheartedly. (:

Every pet lovers should avoid this clinic! Heartless doctor Tai who refused to help a stray cat - at the verge of dying. This clinic demanded for payment to be made upfront and will not help the stray cat without seeing $$$. This clinic is operated by money-minded management & doctor is unscrupulous. If you don't have the heart to help the fury animals, don't freaking open a vet clinic. I bet you wanted to be a vet just becos of $$$. Shame on you.

Dr Tai and her staffs, Edison and team were very dedicated in taking care of my furkid during every acupuncture treatment.

Excellent service! We have been taking our dog to this clinic the last 4 months since we relocated to Singapore from the USA. The doctor and staff are kind and patient with our dog. We really like that the vet is also an acupuncturist and prescribed that, along with natural herbs, for our dogs anxiety, instead of prescription medication. They take the time with you to address your concerns and spend the needed amount of time for treatment as well. They really care for your pet!
