The Expat Chiro
Visiting from Across Singapore
I'm at Dempsey Hill, and patients find me from all over the city. Here's what the trip actually looks like from where you are.
How Most Patients Get Here
The clinic is at 27A Loewen Road, Dempsey Hill, Singapore 248672. It's inside the Loewen Road cluster, which most people know as the Dempsey precinct. If you've been to Dempsey Hill for lunch or a weekend walk, you've probably passed within a few minutes of the door.
The easiest way to arrive depends on where you're coming from. Grab is the go-to for most patients. If you're coming from the Orchard or Tanglin side, the Napier MRT on the Thomson-East Coast Line puts you about 10 to 12 minutes on foot. Parking at Dempsey is generally available during the week.
| Neighborhood | Typical travel time | Best route |
|---|---|---|
| Tanglin | 5–10 min | Short drive or Grab; walkable from Tanglin Road end |
| Holland Village | 8–12 min | Grab; or Bus 7 / 106 from Holland Village MRT |
| Orchard | 12–18 min | Napier MRT (TEL) then 10–12 min walk; or Grab |
| Sentosa | 20–30 min | Grab from Sentosa Express / Vivocity; allow extra for gantry |
| East Coast | 25–35 min | Grab or drive via ECP; traffic-dependent |
Parking and Arrival
By Car
There is on-site parking at 27A Loewen Road. It can fill up at busy times, particularly on weekends and public holidays, so leave a few extra minutes or consider Grab.
The clinic entrance is at 27A Loewen Road, inside Core Collective. If you're walking into Dempsey, head toward the cluster of low-rise shophouses on Loewen Road rather than toward the main restaurant strip. If you get turned around, the number is on the contact page and I'll guide you in.
By Transit
Napier MRT (Thomson-East Coast Line) is the most convenient public transport option. From Napier, walk south along Napier Road, then left onto Loewen Road. The walk takes 10 to 12 minutes and is mostly flat. Farrer Road MRT (Circle Line) is a longer walk and less direct, though it works if you're already on the CCL.
For what to expect once you're here: first visit.
Neighborhoods
Tanglin to Dempsey Hill
Tanglin is the closest neighborhood to the clinic. A number of patients genuinely walk in from the Tanglin Road end. The short distance also means it's an easy stop on the way home.
Holland Village to Dempsey Hill
Holland V residents tend to be active, and the clinical picture reflects that. Runners, cyclists, and expats navigating a new relocation all find their way to Dempsey. The trip is about 8 to 12 minutes by Grab.
Orchard to Dempsey Hill
Orchard has no shortage of chiropractic clinics. Patients who make the trip to Dempsey are usually looking for something specific: a pay-per-session model, an American-trained practitioner, or an assessment-first approach. The Napier MRT makes it a straightforward 15-minute trip.
Sentosa to Dempsey Hill
The trip from Sentosa to Dempsey takes 20 to 30 minutes by Grab. I see a lot of golfers from the Sentosa courses, frequent flyers with travel-pattern back and neck issues, and water-sports people with shoulder complaints.
East Coast to Dempsey Hill
East Coast is the furthest neighborhood with a dedicated page, and the 25 to 35 minute drive is real. The patients who make that trip are usually managing something specific: a running injury from ECP, an old disc problem, or a preference for an evidence-based assessment.
Patients from Bukit Timah, the CBD, Tanjong Pagar, Robertson Quay, Tiong Bahru, and Marina Bay all make the trip to Dempsey regularly. I don't maintain a dedicated page for every Singapore neighborhood, but the table above gives you a reasonable estimate. If you've recently relocated, there's also a page on how insurance works, what my DC qualification means here, and what the move tends to do to your body.
