About Dr Janice Paediatric Centre Pte Ltd
Dr Janice Paediatric Centre Pte Ltd is a paediatric specialist clinic located at Royal Square Medical Centre, Novena, serving patients islandwide. KakiList has verified the operating details and contact channels. The clinic holds a 4.7/5 rating across 449 Google reviews, a robust sample that provides meaningful confidence in the patient experience. No ACRA registration has been confirmed in the public data available, and no regulatory licences are listed in this record — parents should verify the clinic's MOH Healthcare Services Licence and the consulting paediatrician's Singapore Medical Council (SMC) registration directly before booking.
For a first visit, families typically contact the clinic by phone or through the online enquiry form to confirm appointment availability and whether a GP or polyclinic referral letter is needed. A paediatric consultation covers developmental milestones, the National Childhood Immunisation Programme (NIP) schedule, acute illness assessment, and chronic condition management. Investigations such as blood panels, urine tests, or imaging are arranged at the clinic or referred to a partner facility. Parents should bring the child's health booklet, vaccination records, and any previous specialist letters. Integrated Shield Plan pre-authorisation and MediSave eligibility should be checked in advance for planned procedures or follow-up investigations; the clinic can advise on applicable MediSave 500/700 outpatient withdrawal limits under the Chronic Disease Management Programme where relevant.
To book an appointment, call the clinic directly or submit an enquiry through the contact form on the listing, and ask for a written financial counselling estimate if any investigation or procedure is planned.
Verify the doctor's name on the Singapore Medical Council 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.
I had a great experience at this pediatric clinic. The doctor was patient, gentle, and explained everything clearly. The nurse was very friendly and comforting, especially with my baby. Highly recommend!
Dr Janice and her staffs are really knowledgeable! My lil one has intake issues which we didn't know and she resolved it for our new born! We were so thankful for it! Highly recommended paediatric centre.
The clinic states that appointments are typically allocated 10 minutes per patient. If the consultation exceeds 10 minutes, the fee increases accordingly. However, that is not the issue. The real concern is that despite having scheduled appointments, patients routinely wait 50 minutes to over an hour before being seen. When I asked about the delay at reception, I was told that waiting up to an hour is considered normal. It is difficult to understand how appointments can be structured this way while patients are left waiting far beyond their scheduled time. For parents with young children, this is especially inconvenient and frustrating. If punctuality and reasonable wait times are important to you, this is something to consider before booking.
Have been seeing Dr Janice for my newborn since we were assigned her at birth, she has provided good guidance and clear information regarding my child’s health issues faced shortly after birth while in hospital and on developmental milestones in her clinic.
We were assigned to this doctor by the delivery hospital and visited her clinic twice after our baby was born. Unfortunately, both visits involved waiting times of over one hour, which was particularly challenging with a newborn. During the consultations, the doctor appeared rushed and did not seem very welcoming toward my questions as a first time mother. At one point, I was told I could ask only one more question, which made me feel uncomfortable and hesitant to clarify my concerns. During one visit, she spent quite a long time listening to my baby’s heart and reviewing the hospital discharge documents. She mentioned that the heart rate seemed abnormal, which was very worrying to hear as new parents. After checking again about ten minutes later, she said it was probably because the baby had just woken up. Those ten minutes were extremely stressful for us, as we feared something serious might be wrong. We understand clinics can be busy, but as new parents, we were hoping for a more reassuring and patient-centered experience. After this visit, we decided to continue follow up care elsewhere.

Private paediatric specialist consultations in Singapore typically run S$120–250 for a first visit and S$80–180 for follow-up reviews. These are self-pay rates at private clinics; families holding a polyclinic or GP referral letter to a public hospital Specialist Outpatient Clinic (SOC) pay S$30–80 after subsidy for Singapore Citizens, though non-urgent SOC waits are commonly 4–12 weeks. Investigations billed on top of the consultation may include blood panels (S$60–200), urine cultures (S$30–80), X-rays (S$80–150), and ultrasounds (S$150–400). Vaccinations under the National Childhood Immunisation Programme (NIP) are also available and range from S$30–80 per dose depending on the antigen. Any planned procedure should be quoted with a written financial counselling estimate splitting insurance, MediSave, and out-of-pocket portions. GST applies on private medical services.

Every legitimate private specialist clinic must hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence issued under the Healthcare Services Act — verifiable on the MOH licensee directory at moh.gov.sg. No regulatory licences appear in the current listing record, so parents should confirm this directly with the clinic before booking. Every practising doctor must appear on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register at smc.gov.sg. Search by name to confirm SMC registration, specialist accreditation in Paediatric Medicine, and any disciplinary history. For paediatric subspecialists (neonatology, paediatric cardiology, paediatric neurology), a relevant Royal College or Academy of Medicine Singapore fellowship (FRCS, FAMS) is the meaningful additional credential. Verify both the clinic's MOH licence and the named doctor's SMC entry before booking — neither alone is sufficient. Contact Dr Janice Paediatric Centre Pte Ltd directly to request these details.
Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life cover most private specialist consultations, day surgery, and inpatient stays subject to the plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider rules. Confirm pre-authorisation and a Letter of Guarantee from your insurer before any planned procedure to avoid claim disputes after the fact. MediSave can be used for selected outpatient items under the MediSave 500/700 withdrawal limits — S$500 per year for general outpatient and S$700 per year under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP), which covers conditions including asthma, eczema, and attention deficit conditions in children where listed. Vaccinations under the NIP schedule may also attract partial MediSave coverage; confirm eligibility at the clinic. For any planned procedure, request a financial counselling session so the clinic can issue an itemised pre-treatment estimate that separately states the insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions in writing. Skipping this step is the most common reason families are surprised by their final bill.
