Dr Hia has been my boy’s paediatrician since he was a baby. He’s turning five now, and we only make appointments when truly necessary. Dr Hia is an incredibly patient and knowledgeable doctor. My mum is a nurse and has worked with Dr Hia and many other doctors for more than 2 decades before retiring. She personally recommended Dr Hia, and all her grandchildren are under her care as well. There are some qualities and truths behind the scenes that only time and nurses would get to see. We’re very grateful to know Dr Hia and to have her as our boy’s paediatrician.
Dr Cindy is very patience, punctual and responsible. However during bay discharge, Dr Cindy mentioned 3 things. Firstly diaper rash, secondly right clicky hips and might have long short leg and needed treatment to check in a month time. Lastly her heart apex unable to hear. Don’t know heart is left or right or Center. Need to do heart scan and Dr Cindy said she is also a cardiologist. During anatomy scan the heart was ok and normal. The legs and hip seemed ok for me. The things she mentioned made my husband a bit worried and overthink. I brought baby to other PD to check. But other PD told me heart and hip was ok and normal. Heart on left and no clicky hips. Also discharge day, nurse said there is no diaper rash. Just wondering if she misdiagnosed or got the ✘ baby? I’ve feedback to my gynae too.
We consulted Dr. Cindy Hia and found her to be patient in her approach. However, her diagnosis differed from three other specialists whom we subsequently sought for further evaluation. Each consultation and scan took close to two hours, yet the findings remained inconclusive. Dr. Hia did consult her colleague and suggested that we seek her mentor’s opinion, which demonstrated her willingness to seek additional input. Nevertheless, it was only upon the advice of another doctor to obtain a second opinion from a different specialist that we understood the seriousness of the condition. Timely intervention from that second opinion was crucial, and without it, the outcome for our child could have been very different. This experience underscores the importance of always considering a second opinion when there is any uncertainty in diagnosis.
My 3.5yo daughter has been with Dr Cindy since birth. She has a congenital heart disease. Dr Cindy has been so, so patient, kind, generous and gentle with us. Whether it was bad news or good news, she would patiently talk us through it to give us as much information as possible to make informed decisions. Due to her expertise and all the advice she has given us, our daughter who almost required surgery when she was just a few months old is now no longer even on her medication. She's a healthy and happy child, and we really have Dr Cindy to thank for that. She takes time even out of her official work time to respond to us, and doesn't ask us to see her unnecessarily. We can't recommend Dr Cindy enough, especially for a more medically complex child.
I came to see her from overseas. After my 21weeks anatomy scan my OB wanted me to get seen by a specialist for possible hear defect. I came in early, explained my situation and waited until the time i was supposed to be seen. I explained that i came from overseas and have a flight to catch. She didn’t try to see me on time because there were other patients to see. So on top of all the worries and anxiety about the baby’s heart she just failed to see me. I had to leave the clinic to catch my flight back. Worst doctor’s experience who had absolutely no sympathy for her patients.

No MOH Healthcare Services Licence or Singapore Medical Council (SMC) registration appears in this listing's data. Before booking, you should independently verify two things: first, that the clinic premises hold a current MOH Healthcare Services Licence, which is searchable on the MOH licensee directory; second, that the named consulting doctor is on the SMC public register at smc.gov.sg, which also shows their specialist accreditation and any disciplinary history. Neither a listing on a directory nor a physical clinic address substitutes for these checks. For paediatrics specifically, an SMC specialist accreditation in Paediatric Medicine is the relevant credential beyond basic registration. Listing data is incomplete — contact Dr Hia Ping Ping Cindy Clinic for Children directly to confirm details before booking.
Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life can cover private specialist consultations and procedures subject to the plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider terms. For any planned procedure, request pre-authorisation and a Letter of Guarantee from your insurer before attending to avoid claim disputes after the fact. MediSave outpatient withdrawals are capped at S$500 per year for general outpatient use, rising to S$700 per year under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP), which covers listed chronic conditions including asthma, eczema management, and selected others relevant to paediatric care. These limits apply per patient account. Ask the clinic for a written financial counselling estimate that splits the insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and cash out-of-pocket amount before any procedure — this is standard practice at private clinics and prevents unexpected bills.
