About Dr Oh Boon Ngee Vera Paediatrics
Dr Oh Boon Ngee Vera Paediatrics operates from Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre at 38 Irrawaddy Road, offering paediatric consultations to families across Singapore. The clinic is KakiList-verified, meaning a real person confirmed operating details and contact information. With 88 Google reviews, the sample is reasonably robust, though the current rating of 3/5 is below the typical range for private paediatric practices and warrants attention — prospective patients are encouraged to read individual reviews carefully before booking. No regulatory licence information has been provided to KakiList, and ACRA registration has not been confirmed, which limits the trust signals available for this listing.
Families typically begin by calling or submitting an enquiry form to check appointment availability. At the first consultation, the paediatrician will review the child's health history, developmental milestones against age norms, and vaccination status under the National Childhood Immunisation Programme (NIP). Follow-up cadence depends on the presenting condition — acute illness, developmental monitoring, or a chronic concern each carries a different review schedule. For planned investigations such as blood panels or referrals to allied health, the clinic will advise on next steps and associated costs. It is prudent to check in advance whether your Integrated Shield Plan covers private specialist consultations and to request a written fee estimate for any procedure.
Contact the clinic by phone or enquiry form to confirm current appointment slots, consultation fees, and whether the attending doctor accepts your Integrated Shield Plan before making the trip to Mount Elizabeth.

Horrible experiences at this clinic on three occasions!!! Please do not go there for your little ones. 1) We gave birth at Mount E, and was assigned Dr Pradeep as paeds doctor. Baby blood test was shown as B+ on the lab report but Dr Pradeep from this clinic indicated in health booklet as O. This mess up is incredulous, and what if we did not spot it, would baby’s blood group be wrongly indicated in all the hospital records??? What if there was an emergency and the wrong blood was transfused???! We went back for review and Dr Pradeep did not take it seriously and laughed it off and just asked the clinic to correct it, which they only strike out and signed instead of reprinting. THIS MISTAKE SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. 2) our baby has dry skin and eczema and was prescribed this Aloe Vera gel from clinic but upon using we found plastic looking needles in the gel (blue circles in photo). We emailed the clinic but they just nonchalantly told us “not sure what it is. If there’s no swelling or redness, no urgent treatment needed”. Should you not know what the gel contains if you’re selling it?? And if you see these kind of needle looking stuff, shouldn’t you offer parents to come down with the gel and offer an exchange??? Their service is the lousiest I’ve ever encountered. 3) our baby had dried up blood in the ear and i tried calling the clinic multiple times but no response. Thereafter emailed them on 12 November with photos with my baby’s ear and asked if we should come down for a check. It has been 5 days and still no reply at all. I would never ever recommend this paeds clinic to anyone, the waiting time is super long as we waited 1-2hours everytime despite having an appointment time. Service is slow and insincere, email replies and phone answering is non-existent.

Would give a 0 or negative review if I could. We initially decided against a review but upon reflection felt that it would be good to reiterate what many of the other reviewers have pointed out. Our newborn had an ultrasound done in May 2025. We repeatedly tried to contact the clinic and didn't hear any news. So we assumed that all was in order. My intuition prompted me to insist on a response so I went down to the clinic and requested (demanded) for a reply. We only heard back more than a month later and to our horror, there was actually a further medical condition highlighted that required deeper investigation.. It was an emotionally trying period for us especially as new parents. It was extremely negligent on Dr P's part.. and we hope that others would exercise caution too. Wait times are horrible and there are many places you could go to with better service and patient management.

Simply put, if you love your kids and have any self-respect, you will choose another clinic. They clearly don't want more patients. But instead of just saying so, they show with the way they treat parents and kids who come there. The irony is the poster about abuse on their door. It works both ways. Abuse is not just about raising your voice. Mistreating parents and kids by lying is also a form of abuse. Making sick kids wait for extended periods of time to cater to regulars tells you all you need to know about the clinic. Who in their right frame of mind would send their child here?

If there was an option to give zero star, I would have done that. I was asked to come in during the walk in period which I did for my kid who was in discomfort. I waited 1.5 hours only to see that every single person who came after me saw the doctor before me. No proper system of queue. Is it possible for a kid who is not well to wait 1.5 hours at a clinic? I have consulted other pediatricians also, I have not seen such terrible mismanagement. This kind of establishment, which makes people wait hours to provide a service should not be supported. Only then they will do something about it.

Extremely Disappointing Experience On Monday, we arrived at 10:30 AM and were told there were five patients ahead of us to consult Dr Pradeep Raut. We patiently waited for two hours. At noon, when we reconfirmed, we were assured we were next — yet, another patient was called in ahead of us, and Dr Pradeep left the clinic immediately afterward. If there was no time to accommodate us, we would have appreciated being informed earlier. It’s heartbreaking that my little one waited two hours, only to return home without being seen. @Dr Pradeep: We deeply respect your medical expertise, but this experience left us feeling dismissed and unheard. A little communication and acknowledgement would have gone a long way. And not to mention the utter lack of empathy shown by your staff / nurses.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Dr Oh Boon Ngee Vera Paediatrics charge?›
Private paediatric specialist consultations in Singapore typically run S$120–250 for a first visit and S$80–180 for follow-ups. Common add-ons include National Childhood Immunisation Programme (NIP) vaccinations (S$30–80 per dose, though some are subsidised at polyclinics), blood panels (S$60–200), and urine or swab investigations. GST applies on private medical services. For any planned procedure or extended investigation, ask the clinic for a written financial counselling estimate that splits the insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions clearly. If you hold an Integrated Shield Plan, confirm pre-authorisation requirements with your insurer before the appointment. See the full paediatric cost guide for Singapore →
Is Dr Oh Boon Ngee Vera Paediatrics MOH-licensed and how do I verify the doctor?›
No MOH Healthcare Services Licence or Singapore Medical Council (SMC) registration has been provided to KakiList for this listing, which is an important gap. Every legitimate private paediatric clinic must hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence under the Healthcare Services Act, and every practising doctor must appear on the SMC public register at smc.gov.sg — searchable by name, with specialist accreditation and any disciplinary history visible. Before booking, search 'Oh Boon Ngee Vera' on the SMC register to confirm active registration and paediatric specialist accreditation. Also verify the clinic premises licence on the MOH licensee directory. Neither check alone is sufficient — both should be confirmed. The current rating of 3/5 across 88 Google reviews is a signal worth investigating through individual review content before proceeding.
How do I use MediSave or insurance at Dr Oh Boon Ngee Vera Paediatrics?›
Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life can cover private specialist consultations and day procedures subject to the plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider rules. Confirm with your insurer whether a referral letter (from a GP or polyclinic) is required to trigger inpatient or specialist coverage, and request a Letter of Guarantee for any planned procedure before the fact. MediSave can be used for selected outpatient paediatric items under the S$500/year withdrawal limit, and for chronic conditions listed under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP) up to S$700/year. Vaccinations under the NIP are separately claimable via MediSave at approved clinics. For any planned procedure, request a written pre-treatment financial estimate that itemises insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions — this is the single most effective way to avoid bill shock.
