For a first visit, parents typically contact the clinic by WhatsApp, phone, or the online enquiry form to describe the child's presenting concern — fever, developmental milestone queries, rashes, respiratory symptoms, or a routine National Childhood Immunisation Programme (NIP) review — and to confirm appointment availability. At the consultation, the paediatrician will take a history, conduct an examination, and advise on any investigations (blood work, urine, or imaging if warranted) or treatment. Follow-up cadence depends on the condition; ongoing developmental or chronic conditions may require scheduled review appointments.

Dr Lam is very patient and highly knowledgeable in his area of specialty. He always takes the time to thoroughly explain my son’s condition to us and my parents in Mandarin, which we really appreciate. The clinic assistants are also very welcoming and friendly. The only slight inconvenience is that I have to remind the clinic assistants before each appointment with Dr Lam to send the referral form to Mount A’s radiology department before my son can undergo his ultrasound or X-ray. Aside from this, our overall experience at the clinic has always b
I dislocated my knee recently and it was quite scary but I’m glad I went to Bone Island. Dr Lam was very patient and took time to explain everything clearly, like the recovery process, surgery risks (as my condition was quite serious) and how to take care of my leg after it heals. He’s very kind and honest and made me feel comfortable every visit. The clinic staff were also very nice and friendly. I had a very good experience and I’m very grateful for their help. I would definitely recommend this clinic. :)
Very attentive and patient staff and doctors at Bone island.... They showed professionalism and are very detailed with their assessment. My daughter was complaining of knee pain for months, saw a few specialist... After seeing Dr Lam and his team, and with the recommendations of physio sessions,U daughter's knee condition is definitely improving. Thank you Dr Lam.
Dr Lam needs no introduction or review in the field of pediatric orthopedic medicine. As a doctor I had only heard good things about him, and personally when I needed help for my child- he definitely outshone my expectations. Besides being academically brilliant, he is extremely good with kids (mine was a toddler who didn’t cry at all throughout his examination), excellent in bedside manners, and follows a good balance at being neither too conservative or too aggressive. Would highly recommend him.
Dr. Lam is kind, warm, and puts kids at ease. He explains every step clearly and specifies do/donts, leaving you with a clear understanding of how to support your child. The gentlemen who put on the cast/remove are fun, warm, and do things quickly so that there is no room for the kids’ anxiety to grow. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Lam and his clinic.

Every legitimate clinic premises 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; searching by Dr Lam Kai Yet's name will confirm registration status, specialist accreditation in Paediatric Medicine, and any disciplinary history. No regulatory licences were listed in this KakiList entry, so it is important that parents verify both the clinic licence and the named doctor's SMC entry directly before booking. Neither alone is sufficient — a clinic can be MOH-licensed with a locum who is not on the SMC register, or a doctor can be SMC-registered but practising from unlicensed premises. Both checks take under five minutes online.
Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life cover most private specialist consultations, day procedures, and inpatient stays subject to the plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider rules. For any planned procedure, confirm pre-authorisation and request a Letter of Guarantee from your insurer before the date — settling claim disputes after the fact is considerably harder. For outpatient visits, MediSave can be used under the MediSave 500/700 withdrawal limits (S$500 per year general outpatient, S$700 per year under the Chronic Disease Management Programme for listed conditions). Routine paediatric consultations and NIP vaccinations may also be partially covered depending on your plan tier. Ask the clinic's front desk for a written financial breakdown before the visit, particularly for procedures or investigations, so there are no surprises on the final bill.
