Dr. Charles has provided caring, informed support from whatever I may be needing. From a simple stomach bug, to yearly health checks. The nursing staff are all so kind.

Thank you to the full central health team for years of great service in Hong Kong, and many more to come.

Central Health was originally a obstetrics and paediatric health care service, but has since become…read morea full GP/family practice care centre. In fact, many patients are probably there for general practice health concerns now anyway. However, the practice has continued its excellent reputation in obstetrics and child health care, as if evidenced by the number of pregnant ladies and kids running around! Nearly all (I think bar one) of the doctors are trained overseas, UK, US, Oz, and are excellent healthcare practitioners. I wouldn't go if they were not! They cater heavily to the ex-pat crowd, with the entire practice operating in English. Whilst the practice is a general care centre, they do continue to specialise in obs and gyny, and paediatrics. They also extensively cover psychiatry, psychology and counselling concerns. Unlike many of the practices in HK, Central Health unofficially runs an out of hours service. Of course if you need emergency care, you should ring 999, but if you need "emergency" care from your GP, existing patients can get it from Central Health, depending on the goodwill of the doctor. Appointments are usually quite easy to get at the Central clinic. There are also two other practices in Disco Bay and Southside. As with most HK health care, you will have to pay or produce your medical insurance.

This is made worse in HK if you do need GP help, and are an ex-pat. It can be daunting to go to an Chinese doctor, or difficult to find an English speaking doctor. If you are in this situation, I would recommend OT&P. They are primarily a family practitioner service, with a number of specialists doctors, running four clinics across HK Island. Think of them as your GP back in blighty, but with more doctors, more appointment availability, better healthcare. To be fair to the UK's NHS, OT&P are private, so you will need to pay or produce your medical cards. Dr Trodd at the Wan Chai practice is particularly good, I have always found his patient care excellent and recommend him highly. He also has an amazing view out of his office, so if you are uncomfortable being prodded and poked, you can always have a look out of the window across the harbour to TST. Just a few details for your digestion; the clinic is an hours clinic, as in they only work "working" hours. If you need out of hours care, you'll have to call 999 (there is some out of hours care for obstetrics). They are a dispensing clinic, so all the prescription meds are on site. No trip to Mannings for you then. There is also a lot of on-site testing that they can do. Personally, I have always found it very easy to get an appointment, but fortunately, I very rarely go. Super healthy me - yeay!

Every Hong Kong girl has her go-to Chinese herbalist and mine is Dr Kelly. She is very kind and…read morepatient and really takes her time to understand your ailments and explain her treatments in western medical terms despite the long wait in the zen-like waiting room. Dr Kelly comes from a family of Chinese and western doctors- the Chain ancestors were doctors back in Ching Dynasty and her husband Dr Chain is a doctor. Her philosophy is blending traditional Chinese medicine with western alternate medicines like aromatherapy and various natural supplements. She also sells Chinese healing herbal teas packaged in western convenience- shrink wrapped tea bags that fits easily into purses for regular consumption. The clinic also boasts a stone energy chamber which facials and yoga classes are held for energy optimization. Bottomline: Dr Kelly, yoga class in stone energy chamber, acupuncture for weight-loss. is awesome.

Chain's is my jam. At the recommendation of another physio-acupuncturist (who wasn't qualified to…read moredispense Chinese Medicine), I started taking my mom here to help treat her mood swings and sleeplessness associated with Alzheimer's Disease. The treatments were very helpful in stabilizing my mom's symptoms. On top of that, the environment of Chain's is extremely warm, inviting, and calming. I love this place! Chain's has been in existence for literally hundreds of years - since the Qing Dynasty. It doesn't get much more legit than that, right? Dr. Kelly Chain and her husband head up the clinic, and they do a bang-up job. They not only offer the usual acupuncture/cupping/Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatments, but they also have branched out into beauty treatments, such as natural anti-aging (i.e., no botox, fillers, and all that other nasty shit that you see SO MUCH OF in Hong Kong . . . ugh) and spa-type treatments. They even offer a yoga class, which takes place in their "stone chamber," a room made of maifan stone with special energetic healing properties. If you're feeling really shitty and come in for a cupping and/or acupuncture treatment, they'll set you up in the stone chamber to give you a little bit of a boost from your treatment (and not upcharge you for it). I started coming to Chain's for cupping/acupuncture/TCM on a weekly basis, after I saw the results on my mom. The results were incredible. Without delving into too much detail, Dr. Kelly and her colleague Dr. Kay Tam (she is phenomenal!!!) were able to rebalance my chi using needles and TCM, and they corrected a hormone imbalance that I had been struggling with for YEARS due to my refusal to "correct" it with western medicine (sorry western doc, but you ain't gonna just put me on The Pill and think that's gonna solve all my problems). I also came down with probably the worst flu of my life while I was living in Hong Kong, and Dr. Kay Tam fixed me up good as new with 2 cupping treatments, a bunch of acu-needles, and TCM. Chain's has made me an acu/TCM addict (in a good way!), and I will be getting my fix every time I return to Hong Kong to visit. Bonus: most medical/health insurance plans offer coverage/benefits for acupuncture & TCM, so claim that shizz!

Living in a crowded city like HK, it is inevitable that you will fall ill at some point, either…read morefrom some reprobate coughing right in your face, or over doing int in LKF. Well, help is at hand. UMP Healthcare Group is a large medical services group in HK. Part of their group offers outpatient medical services, or to the lay person, a local GP doctors service. There are a lot of these local surgeries across Hong Kong, so you should be able to find a location convenient to you. The medical centre at Wan Chai is particularly good, primarily due to the excellent service from Dr. Yiu. Whilst this is quite a "local" feeling practice, Dr. Yiu's and his staff's English is perfect, so don't feel intimidated to come here as an ex-pat. I always find it very easy to get an appointment here within a couple of hours of calling, and once at the surgery, the wait to see the doctor is usually short. The consultations are thorough, so you can be confident that you are getting the best care. The services they offer include; general and specialist consultation, health checks, some minor outpatient procedures, inoculations, and travel health advice.On site, they also have x-ray facilities, and a dispensing pharmacy, so you don't have to go elsewhere for your prescriptions. Should you require any other specialist care, Dr Yiu will refer you as required. UMP accepts a number of medical insurance schemes, both personal and employer, so it is possible to visit and have the costs paid directly by your insurer.

You can tell that they're a very structured organization and everyone working here are well trained. Doctors and nurses are professional and polite. The nurses I have dealt with are so nice I actually wrote them a card to say thank you. The hospital took the past few years to revamp the entire place and I could see them upgrading section by section, and I like this place more and more. I'd like to make a special mention of the food there - the canteen has really good food, with a nice casual setting overlooking the race course. Clay pot rice is really famous but there's a wait for it. Not that I want to come here all the time, but if anyone reading this is concerned about the quality of doc or the place, there's nothing for you to worry about.
