About Farrer Park Hospital
Farrer Park Hospital is a private specialist hospital located at 1 Farrer Park Station Rd, Connexion, Singapore 217562, offering paediatric services among its clinical programmes. It holds a 4.2/5 rating across 816 Google reviews — a robust sample that provides meaningful confidence in patient experience. No regulatory licences are listed in the current directory data, and ACRA registration has not been confirmed; parents are advised to verify the hospital's MOH Healthcare Services Licence and the attending paediatrician's Singapore Medical Council (SMC) registration directly before booking.
For paediatric care, the typical pathway begins with a first specialist consultation (private self-pay runs S$120–250; a polyclinic referral letter reduces costs at subsidised outpatient clinics but waits can run 4–12 weeks for non-urgent cases). At the consultation, the paediatrician will review your child's developmental history and vaccination status against the National Childhood Immunisation Programme (NIP) schedule, assess developmental milestones, and order any investigations — blood panel, X-ray, or ultrasound — that clinical findings warrant. A written financial counselling estimate itemising Integrated Shield Plan coverage, MediSave deductions, and out-of-pocket costs should be requested before any planned procedure or day surgery. MediSave 500 or 700 withdrawal limits apply to selected outpatient conditions under the Chronic Disease Management Programme.
To book a paediatric consultation at Farrer Park Hospital, contact the hospital directly by phone or through the enquiry form on their website, specifying your child's presenting concern and whether you hold an Integrated Shield Plan requiring pre-authorisation.

Friendly and professional doctors & nurses & staff made me feel very welcomed and at ease, for my procedure which required a warded stay. Food is good too. Pleasant experience! Keep up the good work!

I had an excellent experience at Farrer Park Hospital during my cervical procedure. Dr. Sathapan, the anaesthetist, and the nursing team were wonderful. Special thanks to Nurse Elvin and Nurse Annie, who went above and beyond to make me feel cared for and comfortable.

I recently underwent an admission and surgery at Farrer Park Hospital, and my experience was extremely positive. From the moment I was admitted, the environment was comfortable and reassuring. The nurses and caring staff were attentive and professional, regularly checking on my condition after the surgery and making sure I was well looked after. I was especially touched when, after being discharged and arriving home, I received a lovely get-well fruit hamper from the hospital. It was a thoughtful gesture that went beyond expectations and showed genuine care for patients even after discharge. Thank you to the entire team at Farrer Park Hospital for the excellent care and thoughtful service.

I am writing to express my deep concern and disappointment regarding the recent experience my mother had at your hospital. She was admitted for a liver biopsy... Due to her condition, she stayed two additional days, and we fully settled all related charges upon discharge. However, after returning home, we were unexpectedly informed of an additional charge exceeding SGD 1,000+ for the liver biopsy. We were told this was due to ten stains being used instead of the usual two or three. This was never communicated to us at any point during her stay or upon discharge. It is unacceptable that such a significant medical and financial decision was made without prior discussion or consent. The lack of transparency and communication has caused us great frustration and loss of trust in your hospital’s professionalism. This experience reflects poorly on the hospital’s communication and billing practices, and we hope immediate steps are taken to address and improve them. At this stage, we have lost confidence in the hospital’s service and would rate our overall experience as extremely unsatisfactory. 👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿

My son, a vulnerable university student, sought emergency care here that required a procedure. He went alone for treatment and was visibly shell-shocked when he reached billing. I strongly feel that he was taken advantage of due to his young age and vulnerable state. He was presented with an excessive bill of over SGD 3,000. Prior to treatment, he was only informed of the A&E charge (SGD 170+) and advised that the specialist consultation would cost between SGD 300–900. No further financial counselling was provided to explain the potential cost of the procedure or overall treatment. This raises the serious question of how the final bill escalated to over SGD 3,000. Additionally, the billing appears inaccurate — the coding states “non-surgical” despite an incision and drainage (I&D) procedure being performed. Insurance coverage was also not checked or discussed, and no due diligence was exercised in this regard. There was a clear lack of transparency and accountability throughout this process. The experience feels exploitative rather than patient-centred. I would strongly advise others to avoid this hospital.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Farrer Park Hospital charge?›
Private specialist first consultations at a private hospital typically run S$120–250, with follow-up visits at S$80–180. For paediatric care, investigations billed on top of the consultation fee commonly include blood panels (S$60–200), X-rays (S$80–150), and ultrasounds (S$150–400). Day surgery costs vary significantly by procedure, typically S$3,000–25,000+ depending on complexity and ward class. GST applies on private medical services. For any planned procedure, request a written financial counselling estimate from Farrer Park Hospital before proceeding — this should clearly split your Integrated Shield Plan payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portion. MediSave can be used for selected outpatient items under the S$500 or S$700 annual withdrawal limits (the higher limit applies to Chronic Disease Management Programme conditions).

Is Farrer Park Hospital MOH-licensed and how do I verify the doctor?›
No regulatory licences are currently listed in the KakiList directory data for Farrer Park Hospital. Every legitimate private hospital must hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence issued under the Healthcare Services Act — verifiable on the MOH licensee directory at moh.gov.sg. Parents should confirm this before booking. Every practising paediatrician must be registered with the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) — search by name at smc.gov.sg to confirm registration status, specialist accreditation in Paediatric Medicine, and any disciplinary history. For surgical sub-specialisms, a Royal College or Academy of Medicine Singapore fellowship (FRCS or FAMS) is a meaningful additional credential. Confirm both the hospital's MOH licence and the named doctor's SMC entry before booking — neither alone is sufficient.
How do I use MediSave or insurance at Farrer Park Hospital?›
Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life cover most private specialist consultations, day surgery, and inpatient admissions subject to the plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider rules. For any planned procedure, request pre-authorisation from your insurer and ask Farrer Park Hospital to obtain a Letter of Guarantee before treatment — doing this after the fact frequently leads to claim disputes. MediSave can be used for selected outpatient items under the S$500/year general withdrawal limit or S$700/year under the Chronic Disease Management Programme for listed chronic conditions. Separate MediSave limits of S$200 or S$600 apply to outpatient cancer treatment, kidney dialysis, and selected scans. Request a written financial counselling session at the hospital before any procedure — most private hospitals issue an itemised pre-treatment estimate splitting insurance, MediSave, and out-of-pocket amounts. Skipping this step is the most common reason patients are surprised by their final bill.
