About Ascent ENT Group
About Ascent ENT Group
Ascent ENT Group is a private specialist clinic located at Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre, offering paediatric ENT services to patients across Singapore. KakiList has verified the operating details and contact channels. With 7 Google reviews averaging 3.9 out of 5, the sample is too small to draw firm conclusions — treat the rating as directional only. Pricing is positioned in the mid-range tier ($$), though specific consultation fees were not provided and should be confirmed directly with the clinic.
Patients typically access a private ENT specialist either by walking in directly — first consultations at private specialist clinics generally run S$120–250 without a referral — or by presenting a polyclinic or GP referral letter, which may support an Integrated Shield Plan pre-authorisation request. At the initial consultation, the specialist will take a clinical history, examine the ears, nose, and throat, and determine whether further investigations are needed, such as a nasopharyngoscopy, audiogram, or imaging. For paediatric patients, parents should bring the child's vaccination history and any previous reports from a developmental paediatrician or audiologist. Day procedures and planned surgeries — for conditions such as adenoid or tonsil removal, grommet insertion for otitis media with effusion, or septoplasty for older children — will be quoted with a written financial counselling estimate itemising insurance, MediSave, and out-of-pocket portions before any commitment is sought.
To arrange an appointment, contact Ascent ENT Group via WhatsApp, phone, or the online enquiry form. For planned procedures, request a pre-treatment financial counselling estimate from the clinic before confirming the booking date.

Went in for a blocked ear due to the accumulation of ear wax, to get an ear suction done. However the doctor was very aggressive during the procedure as he used the suction to scrape the ear wax off of my ear canel, which caused a lot of pain, to the point where I had to stop halfway. I went to others before where the doctor will change the size of suction to get the more stubborn earwax off my ear canel but the doctor here did not do that and only used the suction to scrape. Nothing used to soften the earwax as well, and was just very aggressive which caused a lot of pain. I was charged close to $600 which I found was expensive especially when the problem was just solved halfway. Will never go back to this clinic ever again.

I had sudden hearing loss and was very worried, but Dr. Yuen was professional, patient, and reassuring throughout the treatment. He explained everything clearly and acted quickly, which gave me a lot of confidence during a stressful time. I’m very grateful for his care and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent ENT specialist.

Poor Communication, Untrained Staff & No Record-Keeping I had an extremely frustrating experience at this clinic and feel compelled to share it so others know what to expect. After my child’s appointment, a staff member asked me to collect medication at a later date. I called the following business day to confirm availability — only to be met with complete confusion. The staff on the call had no record of the order whatsoever. After some internal checking, they reached out via WhatsApp and asked me to come on a different day. Fine, I complied. When I arrived on the rescheduled day, a different staff member informed me that my child — the patient — had to be present for an allergy test before the medication could be dispensed. This was never communicated to me at any point prior. Not during the appointment, not during the phone call, and not in the WhatsApp message. I was absolutely furious. This is a basic piece of information that should have been conveyed from the very beginning. The staff here appear poorly trained and there is a serious disconnect between team members. Nobody seems to know what the other is doing, and patients are left to bear the consequences of their internal disorganisation. What troubles me most, however, is the apparent lack of proper record-keeping. The doctor does not leave adequate notes after each session, which means staff have no idea what was planned for the patient when follow-ups are due. We have shown up to appointments where nothing was prepared and no one had any context for why we were even there. This is not just unprofessional — for a specialist medical clinic, it is genuinely concerning. I sincerely hope the management takes these issues seriously. A clinic that cannot communicate internally or maintain proper patient records has no business seeing specialist patients.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Ascent ENT Group charge?›
Ascent ENT Group has not published a specific fee schedule, so the figures below reflect Singapore private specialist market norms rather than confirmed rates — verify directly with the clinic before attending. A first private ENT specialist consultation typically runs S$120–250, with follow-up visits around S$80–180. Common add-ons include audiometry or tympanometry (S$80–150), nasopharyngoscopy (S$100–200), blood panel (S$60–200), CT or MRI imaging (S$400–1,800), and in-clinic procedures such as nasal cauterisation or ear syringing. For paediatric day surgery — grommet insertion, adenoidectomy, tonsillectomy — hospital and surgeon fees combined typically range from S$4,000 to S$12,000+ depending on class of ward and complexity. GST applies on all private specialist services. Any planned procedure should come with a written financial counselling estimate splitting insurance, MediSave, and out-of-pocket costs.

Is Ascent ENT Group MOH-licensed and how do I verify the doctor?›
No MOH Healthcare Services Licence or Singapore Medical Council (SMC) registration details were provided in the listing data for Ascent ENT Group. Both are mandatory for a legitimate private specialist clinic in Singapore — the MOH licence covers the clinic premises and is verifiable on the MOH licensee directory, while every practising doctor must appear on the SMC public register at smc.gov.sg, where you can confirm the doctor's name, specialist accreditation (in this case, Otorhinolaryngology), and any disciplinary record. For an ENT specialist performing paediatric surgery, a fellowship such as FRCS (Otolaryngology) or FAMS accreditation through the Academy of Medicine Singapore is a meaningful additional credential beyond basic SMC registration. Verify both the clinic licence and the named doctor's SMC entry before booking, and do not pay any deposit for a planned procedure until both checks are complete.
How do I use MediSave or insurance at Ascent ENT Group?›
Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life typically cover private specialist consultations, day surgery, and inpatient stays at Mount Elizabeth, subject to your plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider terms. For any planned paediatric ENT procedure — grommet insertion, adenoidectomy, tonsillectomy, septoplasty — contact your IP insurer before the surgery date to confirm pre-authorisation and, where possible, obtain a Letter of Guarantee so the insurer pays the hospital directly rather than requiring full upfront payment and subsequent reimbursement. MediSave can be used under the MediSave 500/700 withdrawal limits for selected outpatient items, and for day surgery the MediSave Surgical Table sets the claimable amount by procedure code. For paediatric patients, the child's own MediSave account or a parent's account can be used. Request a written financial counselling estimate from the clinic before confirming any procedure — this should itemise the insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portion clearly, and is the most reliable way to avoid bill surprises.
