About Children's Bone Clinic Singapore
Children's Bone Clinic Singapore is a paediatric orthopaedic specialist practice located at Mount Alvernia Hospital Medical Centre A on Thomson Road. It holds a 4.9/5 rating across 97 Google reviews, a moderate-to-robust sample that provides a reasonable confidence signal, though no regulatory licences have been confirmed in the listing data at this time. The clinic is KakiList verified, meaning operating details and contact channels have been confirmed by a real person.
Families typically begin by booking a first specialist consultation — either self-referred at private rates (typically S$120–250) or via a polyclinic or GP referral letter, which may affect insurance and MediSave claim pathways. The clinic focuses on paediatric bone and musculoskeletal conditions, which commonly include fractures, limb deformity, gait abnormalities, scoliosis, club foot, developmental dysplasia of the hip, bone infections, and sports-related injuries in children and adolescents. At the first visit the surgeon will take a history, perform a physical examination, and order relevant investigations such as X-rays, ultrasound, or MRI where indicated, before outlining a management plan. Integrated Shield Plan pre-authorisation and a written financial counselling estimate separating insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket costs should be arranged before any planned procedure or surgery.
To make an appointment, contact Children's Bone Clinic Singapore directly by phone or through the enquiry form, and confirm the consulting surgeon's name and Singapore Medical Council registration before your visit.

★★★★☆
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.

Is Children's Bone Clinic Singapore MOH-licensed and how do I verify the doctor?›
No regulatory licences have been confirmed in the current listing data for Children's Bone Clinic Singapore. Every legitimate clinic operating at Mount Alvernia Hospital or any private medical centre must hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence under the Healthcare Services Act — verifiable on the MOH licensee directory online. Every practising doctor must also appear on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register at smc.gov.sg. For a paediatric orthopaedic surgeon, look for SMC registration, specialist accreditation in Orthopaedic Surgery, and a fellowship credential such as FRCS (Orthopaedics) or FAMS. Confirm both the clinic licence and the named doctor's SMC entry before booking — neither alone is sufficient, and the listing data does not currently confirm either. Contact the clinic directly to request these details.
How do I use MediSave or insurance at Children's Bone Clinic Singapore?›
Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life cover most private specialist consultations, day surgery, and inpatient stays, subject to your plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider rules. For any planned procedure, obtain pre-authorisation and a Letter of Guarantee from your insurer before treatment to avoid claim disputes after the fact. MediSave can be used for selected outpatient items under the S$500/year general withdrawal limit or the S$700/year Chronic Disease Management Programme limit. Separate MediSave limits apply for outpatient cancer treatment and selected scans. Paediatric orthopaedic procedures are generally MediSave-claimable for inpatient and day-surgery settings. Request a written financial counselling session at the clinic before committing to any procedure. A reputable private facility will issue an itemised pre-treatment estimate showing insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket costs. Skipping this step is the most common reason families are surprised by their final bill.
