I am grateful to all the ICS nurses and Dr Ooi for the care throughout my chemo journey. It was the worst 5 months of my life because of the cancer but ICS made it better...
First thank you for Dr Ooi for being there throughout the journey esp when I had a fever for almost one month due to Taxol induced Pneumonitis, and for the timely intervention to send me for the necessary heart checks, CT scan, etc, to get to the root of the problem and changing me from Paclitaxel to Abraxane. He did not waste a single day to troubleshoot the problem.
I also want to thank the nurses who attended to me. Special mention to Kartini who is very gentle and is incredibly skilled in putting in the IV plug and drawing my blood. Seriously if she poke you its as unpainful as it gets already. I also want to thank Alina and Pushpa for diluting my meds and administering them without hiccups too. I hear stories of chemo leaking into tissues but I never had such experience at ICS because the nurses are very experienced. Plus the part-time nurse (so sorry I forgot your name but remember your warm words) for always making sure I'm comfortable with blankets drinks and such. And Susie for the warm greeting every time I come in.
Only issue I have is because they are sooo popular and due to covid measures only 4 patients allowed at one time (I think) so scheduling is a headache. The nurses (esp Alina) try their best to schedule everyone. :)
And BTW you can watch Netflix and Viu in the clinic (if the TV is available that day) if you have your own account because they have smart TV. This is very important when you are in discomfort during chemo, any distraction helps. The air is very clean because they have air purifiers in every room. Here are some pics. Cheers.

It has been a blessing to be receiving my chemo & Her2 treatment at ICS. The nurses are some of the kindest professionals in this field that I have met. They are bubbly, (very) patient, compassionate and kind to me each time I'm there for my treatment. Not to mention also they're calm and very competent in their skills especially during my 1st treatment when I had an unexpected episode of reaction towards the chemo drugs, I was suffering a sudden shortness of breat and suffocation, and massive pain in my stomach.. but Pearl and Alena were so professional in the situation and utterly caring throughout the time, and managed to "revive" me and I completed the treatment without any problem after. Since then every treatment session has been smooth and pleasant. Puspa, Nerina, Wen Xin and Alice have also constantly attentive to me, with warm drinks and blankets etc. And never forget to mention Dr. Ooi WeiSeong, my oncologist, he is truly a doctor any patient would want to entrust their healing journey to. He is dedicated, and utmost professional in his skills, knowledge, and for someone who works in a cancer field that could bring about lots of stressful moments, he is always seen by his patients and nurses as a cheerful and uplifting person, with his contagious laughters all the time.
I wouldn't have wanted to be elsewhere for my healing journey. Thank you ICS for such a compassionate service and your kindness towards all your patients has genuinely touched me and my family.

Dr Ooi and his team has been a great help and source of encouragement through out the journey of treatment for my sister. Their dedicated and professional service were very commendable and much appreciated.
Thanks very much for the help extended whenever we are in need of help even though we are residing outside of Singapore

I was referred to Dr Ooi for breast cancer chemotherapy treatment in July 2022. Time flies and I graduate today after 18 sessions. All went well and I was blessed to walk this difficult journey with ICS team. The nurses are always around to check on us during the treatment and make sure we are comfortable. Dr Ooi is friendly, empathetic and caring. His confidence kept me going for the past year. When I am down with chemo discomfort, he will say press on! Just want to say a big THANK YOU here and tell you guys that you are doing such an awesome job! 🫶

I'm really grateful to Dr Ooi Wei Seong and the staff of ICS for making my weeks at ICS so bearable. They're an excellent team of healthcare professionals who really care for their patients. During my treatment sessions, they always made sure I was comfortable and checked on me frequently.
Dr Ooi is an experienced professional who's deeply knowledgeable in his field, but he also has a very warm, approachable and jovial manner that puts one at ease. All of the clinic staff - the nurses (Pearl, Alena, Pushpa, Kartini and Nerina), the clinic administrator (Susie) and the lady who gives me barley water every week - are a warm and wonderful team and never fail to make me smile during every visit.
Thank you to the team at ICS for your compassion and support during this challenging time.

I consider myself lucky to be treated by this medical team. Dr Ooi, as always, has been very friendly and patient. He will try his best to give advice to me, other than providing medication, to make me feel better especially during my chemo treatments. The girls are helpful and caring, making sure I am comfortable during the treatments. At times they do brightens up my day considering this is my lowest point of my life. Thank you all of you. I will miss you all.

From Day One, Dr Ooi has put me at ease. With his positive and cheerful behaviour. When my tumours returned shortly after surgery, he was still edging me not to give up. Best of all, he was responsive even if you have concerns outside his clinic hours and wanted to talk to him about it.
Thank you for making me feel like I was getting the best care. Thank you to all the nurses (past and present- Hangqi, Pearl, Alìna, Kartini, Pushpa) for making me feel safe, as pain free as possible and cared for. I know I haven’t been an easy patient when the needles come out. But the nurses & staff were extremely patient. Thanks to Susie as well.
Great job to all!

Dr Ooi is professional, reassuring and friendly. He explains clearly his diagnosis and give assurance to mum. He is prompt to providing us information from the scan and that helps us to feel safe. His clinic nurses are very caring - offered mum Milo and biscuit and the front line staff is prompt and clear in the bills. The overall experience is very good. Recommended to him as we heard that he is very up to date with the latest cancer treatment or any growth or tumour related matters.

When I think of Dr Wei and his clinic staff it’s with a heart full of gratitude. I will forever be thankful for the people who brought me through this time of life, held my hands, had hope for and with me, took my worries seriously and shared daily stuff.

Such a compassionate and warm team! Went for a health screening and everyone in the team, from Alena to Susie, was reassuring and affable from start to end. Dr. Ooi was professional and very thorough with reviewing each and every test result too. Thank you for putting me at ease!
