Dr. Tan Chiu Woan

Dr. Tan Chiu Woan holds an MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) degree from the Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, India. She has substantial experience in internal medicine, having worked in a tertiary hospital where she managed a wide spectrum of acute and chronic medical conditions using evidence‑based protocols. She does not rely on assumptions — she investigates thoroughly.

Following her experience in internal medicine, Dr. Tan transitioned into private practice, where she now specialises in comprehensive and preventive health care. She conducts advanced health screenings using state‑of‑the‑art diagnostic testing to assess genetic predispositions, metabolic function, and overall physiological balance. This approach allows her to design highly individualised treatment plans focused on disease prevention, long‑term wellness, and sustainable health outcomes.

As a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner (FMU), Dr. Tan looks beyond surface symptoms to understand the complex interactions between genetics, environment, and lifestyle. She recognises that chronic inflammatory conditions, including eczema and psoriasis, are not merely skin‑level issues but manifestations of deeper systemic imbalances.

Dr. Tan trained under Dr. Thomas Rau of the renowned Paracelsus Clinic in Switzerland, where she was exposed to European biological medicine, including biological terrain analysis, regulation therapy, and environmental medicine. This training equips her to identify hidden triggers that conventional investigations may overlook, particularly in chronic and treatment‑resistant conditions.

She works closely with her patients to fully understand their concerns and prioritises patient education as a cornerstone of care. Through lifestyle modifications, nutritional counselling, and integrative therapies, she empowers individuals to take an active role in their healing journey.

Dr. Tan believes that while conventional medicine often focuses on managing symptoms, functional medicine is personalised, preventive, and optimisation‑focused — addressing root causes rather than isolated lab values, with the goal of achieving genuine, long‑term wellness.
