OneDoctors NOVENA Closing (Last day on 31st October 2012)

NOTICE

Dear Patients and Friends

You may have been informed that Novena Ville has been sold as a collective sale and will be demolished next year. We regret that after a few months of searching and planning, we are unable to find a replacement premise that is a viable alternative to re-site the practice.

Hence, we will have to move out and 
our last day of clinic operation at Novena will be 31 October 2012.

We thank you for the privilege of being your physicians and hope you will be able to see us at our other clinics. Until then, thank you and take care.

Best Wishes for your good health

The Doctors and Staff
