About Dermatology Clinic Dr Melissa Tan
Dermatology Clinic Dr Melissa Tan is a dermatology practice located at Farrer Park Hospital, HealthConnexion, serving patients islandwide from its base at 1 Farrer Park Station Rd. The listing has been verified by KakiList, confirming operating details and contact channel. No Google reviews are currently on record, so no rating signal is available at this stage. No regulatory licences have been confirmed in the listing data, and ACRA registration has not been cross-checked — prospective patients are advised to verify the clinic's MOH Healthcare Services Licence and the consulting doctor's SMC registration independently before booking.
Patients typically access a private dermatologist by self-referral (first specialist consultation typically S$120–250 at a private clinic) or via a polyclinic or GP referral letter to a public hospital outpatient clinic, which can reduce the consultation fee for Singapore Citizens but involves a waiting period. For a paediatric-adjacent skin concern, parents should confirm at enquiry whether the dermatologist sees children and at what age, what presenting conditions are routinely managed (eczema, atopic dermatitis, molluscum, urticaria, acne, nappy rash, birthmarks, and infectious skin conditions are common paediatric referrals), and what diagnostic or procedural work is conducted on-site. Planned procedures should be accompanied by a written financial counselling estimate itemising insurance, MediSave, and out-of-pocket portions before any deposit is paid.
Contact the clinic directly by phone or enquiry form to confirm the consulting doctor's name, SMC registration and specialist accreditation, the clinic's MOH Healthcare Services Licence, appointment availability, and whether your Integrated Shield Plan insurer requires pre-authorisation for the planned consultation or procedure.

Private dermatology first consultations in Singapore typically run S$120–250, with follow-up visits at S$80–180. If you hold a polyclinic or GP referral letter to a public hospital skin specialist outpatient clinic, subsidised rates for Singapore Citizens are S$30–80, though non-urgent waits are typically 4–12 weeks. Investigations billed on top of the consultation may include skin biopsy, patch testing, or blood panels (S$60–200 each), and prescribed topical or systemic treatments are charged separately. For any planned procedure, request a written financial counselling estimate that clearly splits what your Integrated Shield Plan, MediSave (S$500/year general outpatient withdrawal, or S$700 under the Chronic Disease Management Programme for qualifying chronic skin conditions), and out-of-pocket portions cover. GST applies on private medical services. See the full dermatology cost guide for Singapore →
Every legitimate private clinic must hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence issued under the Healthcare Services Act — verifiable on the MOH licensee directory at moh.gov.sg. Every practising doctor must also appear on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register at smc.gov.sg; search by name to confirm registration status, specialist accreditation in Dermatology, and any disciplinary history. No regulatory licences have been confirmed in the current listing data for this clinic. Before booking, independently verify both the clinic's MOH licence and the named doctor's SMC entry — neither alone is sufficient. For surgical or procedural dermatology, a fellowship with the Academy of Medicine Singapore (FAMS) in Dermatology is the meaningful additional specialist credential. Verify the doctor's name on the SMC register and the clinic's MOH Healthcare Services Licence before booking, and for any planned procedure request a written financial counselling estimate that itemises insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions before paying any deposit.
Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life can cover private specialist consultations, day surgery, and inpatient stays subject to your plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider rules. For planned procedures, obtain pre-authorisation and a Letter of Guarantee from your insurer before the appointment to avoid claim disputes after the fact. MediSave can be used for selected outpatient dermatology items under the S$500/year general outpatient withdrawal limit, or up to S$700/year under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP) if your skin condition — such as certain forms of eczema or psoriasis — is listed as a CDMP-qualifying chronic condition. For any planned procedure, request a financial counselling session so the clinic can produce an itemised pre-treatment estimate splitting the insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket cost in writing. Skipping this step is the most common reason patients are surprised by their final bill.
