About Dr Lynne Lim ENT and Hearing Centre
Dr Lynne Lim ENT and Hearing Centre is a specialist ear, nose, and throat practice located at Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre on Orchard Road. KakiList has verified operating details and contact channels for this clinic. The Google rating stands at 3.2 out of 5 across 17 reviews — a small sample that should be treated as directional only rather than conclusive. No regulatory licences have been confirmed in our records at this time; prospective patients should verify the clinic's MOH Healthcare Services Licence and the consulting doctor's Singapore Medical Council (SMC) registration directly before booking.
Patients typically access a private ENT specialist either by walking in directly — private first consultations at Mount Elizabeth typically run S$120–250 — or by presenting a polyclinic or GP referral letter for a subsidised specialist outpatient clinic appointment at a public hospital, which carries a 4–12 week wait for non-urgent cases. An ENT consultation generally covers presenting complaints such as hearing loss, tinnitus, ear infections, nasal obstruction, sinusitis, or throat conditions. The doctor will take a history, conduct an examination, and may order investigations such as audiometry, tympanometry, nasoendoscopy, or imaging before discussing a treatment plan and follow-up cadence. Planned procedures should be accompanied by a written financial counselling estimate that itemises insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions; patients holding an Integrated Shield Plan should request pre-authorisation and a Letter of Guarantee from their insurer before any elective procedure.
To make an appointment, contact the clinic directly by phone or via the enquiry form on their listing, and bring referral letters, prior investigation results, and your insurance card to the first consultation.

I was really happy to get an appointment from one day to the next. But when I arrived for my appointment — the first one of the day at the clinic — the doctor wasn’t there. I waited 20 minutes and then left. I’d rather find another doctor who also respects the patients’ valuable time. And I don’t mind paying 250 dollars for a doctor who sees me with a reasonable delay. So no, I definitely don’t recommend this place.

I made the appointment in NL through the website, soon they contacted me via whatsapp, made clear about the consultation fee and everything went very smoothly. dr. Lynne is attentive and professional, she took time to listen and observe my child carefully. My child also took a hearing test, and I will never forget how Andrew, the senior audiologist was so empathetic. Wesanti was also very kind, informative and helpful. Every medical action is informed firsthand, they’re very clear about the cost and time, and they give me time to think and talk to my insurance company in NL. My experience there was good and tbh, heartwarming.

Poor communication and vague pricing. When you ask about tests upfront, they will tell you to get consultation first, so they can prescribe & charge. Very scammy behavior.

Antibiotics for skin condition at KK did not work and visited Dr Lim out of desperation (it was 1135am on a Saturday). Initially thankful that Dr Lim agreed to see him; unfortunately all she could offer was she doesn't know what is the condition causing the problem. She also got her nurse to swab my child's ear even though there were no weepy lesions. We had no choice but to go back to KK A&E. When we were there, we learned that it makes no sense to swab the ear when there are no lesions because most likely you will end up testing for common bacteria that is on the skin :/ Avoid at all costs

SCAM! Keep up selling and giving you the false impression that can claim back from insurance. We brought our daughter there for ear check up and as my wife is coughing badly, the staff pressured my wife to check her throat, mentioning that the scope is consider day surgery and can be claim through insurance. Through her pressure, my wife went for throat scope and also blood test for allergies, bill was $2k+. We even check with them again that our policy is with GE and will there be any issue? The reply was most of their claim go through successfully but some got back 90% or 70%. Claim status: Approved, but NO PAYOUT! The facts that they did not tell you before hand, only after questioning to Ms Ju (their staff) on the phone: - They are not panel doctor to any of the insurance company. In GE case, the first $3500 is not claimable. - 2 out of 10 submission is no payout. That's 20%, very high!! Everday 2 customers will face this issue, 10 every week, 40 every month, 500 every year! Ridiculous that they didn't highlight it. - Why the cavert that some get back 90% or 70% only? Because pratically none get back 100% of the claim. No one! Ms Ju couldn't give me a number of patient that got 100% claim other than some get back 90%, 70%, etc. Is it a scam? Yes, because it's an intentional deceptive act, giving me the impression that large % of the fee can be claim back from insurance. Visit at your own risk, be mentally prepared to spend much much more than you planned.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Dr Lynne Lim ENT and Hearing Centre charge?›
Private ENT specialist consultations at Mount Elizabeth typically start at S$120–250 for a first visit and S$80–180 for follow-ups. Common add-ons include audiometry and hearing tests (S$60–150), tympanometry, nasoendoscopy, blood panels (S$60–200), CT or MRI of the sinuses or temporal bones (S$400–1,800), and any prescribed medications or procedures. GST applies on private medical services. If a surgical procedure such as sinus surgery, tympanoplasty, or adenoidectomy is recommended, request a written financial counselling estimate upfront — this should break down the surgeon's fee, anaesthetist's fee, facility fee, and the portions covered by your Integrated Shield Plan, MediSave, and out-of-pocket respectively. See the full paediatric cost guide for Singapore →
Is Dr Lynne Lim ENT and Hearing Centre MOH-licensed and how do I verify the doctor?›
Every legitimate clinic in Singapore holds an MOH Healthcare Services Licence issued under the Healthcare Services Act, verifiable on the MOH licensee directory. Every practising specialist is listed on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register at smc.gov.sg — search by name to confirm registration status, specialist accreditation in Otolaryngology (ENT), and any disciplinary history. For surgical ENT procedures, a Royal College or Academy of Medicine Singapore fellowship (FRCS or FAMS) is the meaningful additional credential beyond basic SMC registration. No licences have been confirmed in our records for this listing. Prospective patients should verify the MOH clinic licence and the named doctor's SMC entry independently before booking — neither alone is sufficient as a trust signal.
How do I use MediSave or insurance at Dr Lynne Lim ENT and Hearing Centre?›
Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life cover most private specialist consultations, day surgery, and inpatient ENT procedures subject to your plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider rules. Confirm pre-authorisation and request a Letter of Guarantee from your insurer before any planned procedure to avoid post-treatment claim disputes. MediSave can be used for selected outpatient items under the S$500 general limit or S$700 under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP) for listed chronic conditions. For any planned ENT surgery — sinus surgery, ear drum repair, or removal of tonsils and adenoids — request a written financial counselling session at the clinic. Most private hospitals will issue an itemised pre-treatment estimate splitting insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions in writing. Skipping this step is the most common reason patients are surprised by their final bill.
