Assure Family Clinic – An Integrative GP Clinic That Aims To Enhance Your Physical And Mental Wellbeing

The one-stop clinic located in Bukit Merah Central offers a full range of GP services for adults and children, as well as health and wellness screening.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Based on the principles of integrative medicine, Assure Family Clinic takes the ‘whole person’ approach. The GP clinic combines modern healthcare and holistic practices that take the whole person into account including their diet, genetics, hormonal changes, lifestyle, and not just their symptoms. Assure Family Clinic is a part of Beyond Medical Group (BMG), and is the first GP clinic under the BMG portfolio of medical specialists. AFC is helmed by Dr Charis Au, a registered family physician who is the founder and medical director of AFC.

Assure Family Clinic’s Origin Story

“When a disease has already broken out and is only then treated, would that not be just as late as to wait for thirst before digging a well, or to wait to go into battle before casting weapons?” This quote from “The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Medicine” aligns with Dr Au’s belief that everyone should take control of their health before outright symptoms or diseases arise.

Since she was young, Dr Au has embraced a healthy lifestyle. She pored over books on health and fitness, and was one of those kids who requested for more vegetables.

It was natural for her to pursue a career in medicine, hoping to make a difference in improving people’s health.

However, along with the stresses of the job came weight gain, skin troubles, fatigue, and dependence on caffeine. It was then that she delved deep into applying functional and holistic medicine principles, which contributed to healing physically and mentally. Inspired by how a holistic approach to healthcare strengthens vitality, she established Assure Family Clinic  (AFC) in September 2023 to provide compassionate and comprehensive care to make a lasting difference to people’s health and wellness.

Your integrated wellness centre

Located at Block 161 Bukit Merah Central, AFC provides a comprehensive range of GP services that enhance physical and mental well-being to help people thrive from the inside out.   Dr Au, who has a Graduate Diploma In Mental Health from NUS, also offers mental health consultations to help patients tackle the everyday problems of anxiety, depression, fatigue and sleep disorders. She understands the vital connection between the mind and body, recognising that mental and emotional well-being profoundly influences physical health.

Wide range of preventive health services

The clinic focuses on not only effective treatment but also disease prevention. Medical Director of AFC, Dr Au shared, “Having personally seen many who suffered from severe diseases which could have been diagnosed and treated at an earlier stage, I am passionate about regular health screening and preventive health — to detect and treat abnormalities early, before serious complications set in.” AFC offers a wide array of personalised health screening packages that are catered to people of varying age ranges and demographic profiles.

Besides meeting patients’ health screening needs, AFC also promotes wellness by formulating bespoke healthy living plans. A holistic doctor will patiently listen to patients to understand their medical history and lifestyle habits, so that the illness’s root cause(s) can be discovered. Based on this information, evidence-based healthy lifestyle tips will be tailored to individual patients to empower them to participate in their healing journey actively.
