About Kidslink Children's Clinic Sengkang
Kidslink Children's Clinic Sengkang is a paediatric clinic located at 237 Compassvale Walk, #01-532, in the Sengkang neighbourhood, serving families across Singapore. KakiList has verified the operating details and contact channel. The clinic holds a 3.2-star rating across 47 Google reviews — a moderate sample size, though the rating sits below the platform average and warrants attention when considering fit for your child's care.
For a first visit, parents typically contact the clinic by phone or through the enquiry form to confirm appointment availability and bring along the child's health booklet, vaccination record, and any referral letter from a GP or polyclinic. The consulting paediatrician will review developmental milestones, administer vaccinations in line with the National Childhood Immunisation Programme (NIP) schedule, and assess acute presentations such as fever, respiratory illness, or gastrointestinal symptoms. Where investigations are needed — blood panel, urine, or referral for imaging — these are arranged at the consultation. Parents using an Integrated Shield Plan should confirm pre-authorisation requirements with their insurer before the visit, and those wishing to use MediSave for outpatient chronic conditions should check CDMP eligibility at the clinic.
To make an appointment, call the clinic directly or submit an enquiry through the contact form on the listing, and bring your child's health booklet and insurance details to the first visit.
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.
My kid had an acute infection and our usual PDs were closed or full so decided to call in to Kidslink and surprisingly managed to get a slot. The receptionists were polite and great at handling my kid while I filled up the form. It was a short wait. Dr Vanessa was very professional and also wonderful with kids. We were also offered preventive measures against recurrent infections which we thought was extremely helpful. The entire process was a breeze and we would definitely consider coming here in future! :)
Since it's one of the better ones around quite a area {Sengkang and Punggol included} the rush is expected. Average waiting time is 45 mins to 1 hr on a weekday. Dr. Vanessa is good and sounds knowledgeable.
The doctor said it was rhinitis and that surgery might be needed. But then kid caught a viral cold and ended up staying at KK Hospital for a few days. After that, she never went to see that doctor again. Also, this doctor always insists on using only the medicine she recommends—even something like Panadol must be the one she prescribes.
If you can, look elsewhere. My 5 and 2 year old sons had suspected chicken pox and we brought them here at clinic opening time (around 8.45am), we were one of the first 3 patients in queue. Understand that they can't allow us to wait inside the clinic as my boys can be infectious. So we waited outside in such a hot morning. Despite being first 3 patients in queue, we were seen by the doctor only around 10.45am. I am not sure what the arrangements were but they allowed other patients first. After all the wait (imagine how cranky the kids were), Dr. Vanessa Tan told us she couldn't diagnose both my boys. She said their rashes looked like chicken pox but they have just recovered from it about 1-2 weeks ago. Instead she referred us to a dermatologist. Just for this "I cannot diagnose", we were charged 2x consultation fees (repeated consultation rate for elder boy and first visit consultation rate for younger boy)!! I do not think this is justifiable but decided not to argue. It will be our last visit anyway. The same day we managed to see another dermatologist who immediately diagnosed my boys with "folliculitis". A few months later another GP also gave the same diagnosis when my son had similar rashes again. I know diagnosis can be very dependent on each doctor, but I just felt that being a paediatrician, Dr. Tan could have done a better job. At least, she could have shown some empathy to her patients when she made them waited for hours for no diagnosis.
Receptionist is horrible and has serious attitude problem. Insulted customer when asked for clearer time instruction, and quarreled with Patient's parent. We took our 2yo there who has a fever, told by the receptionist to wait outside in the hot weather. In fact, all kids need to wait outside event when they are little and sick. We came back after 45min checking the waiting time, was told to wait min. another 1 hour. We pointed out that if she could inform us upon registration that we need to wait for 1h45min, we could have our baby wait at home or car, my baby is feeling sick and it's very hot outside. The receptionist became extremely rude and inpatient, saying "did you see how many are in the room just now? did you see? doctor very busy today you know?" and when I want to clarify about my point simply is she needs to give clear information to patient, she just LEFT after saying "then you talk to the doctor". I spoke with Doctor Vanessa Tan that this is horrible and unacceptable behavior and no patient should be treated without respect and dignity like this. Clinic, please take note of your receptionist at237 Compassvale Walk #01-532. It's a disaster for your business.

No regulatory licences are listed for Kidslink Children's Clinic Sengkang on this listing. Every legitimate clinic operating in Singapore must hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence under the Healthcare Services Act — verifiable on the MOH licensee directory at moh.gov.sg. Every practising doctor must be registered on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register at smc.gov.sg, where you can search by name to confirm registration status, specialist accreditation in Paediatric Medicine, and any disciplinary history. Parents should confirm both the clinic's MOH licence and the consulting doctor's SMC registration before booking. The absence of listed licences in this directory entry means you should verify these details directly with the clinic prior to the appointment. Neither the clinic licence nor the SMC entry should be assumed — both are mandatory. 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.
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 obtain 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 claims and S$700 per year under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP), which covers conditions including asthma, diabetes, and selected developmental and chronic childhood conditions. For outpatient cancer treatment and kidney dialysis, separate MediSave 200/600 limits apply. For any planned investigation or procedure, request a financial counselling session at the clinic — a written itemised estimate splitting insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions should be provided in advance. Skipping this step is the most common reason families are surprised by their final bill.
