About Mount Alvernia Hospital Paediatrics
Mount Alvernia Hospital Paediatrics is a paediatric service operating from 820 Thomson Road, Singapore 574623, serving patients islandwide. It holds a 3.5-star rating across 483 Google reviews — a robust sample that suggests a mixed patient experience worth investigating before booking. No regulatory licences are currently listed on this KakiList entry, and no ACRA registration has been confirmed; parents should verify the clinic's MOH Healthcare Services Licence and the consulting paediatricians' Singapore Medical Council (SMC) registration independently before attending.
A first consultation with a private paediatrician typically runs S$120–250, with investigations such as blood panels, X-rays, and cultures billed separately. Parents can attend via direct walk-in or self-referral at the private rate, or with a polyclinic or GP referral letter which may support an Integrated Shield Plan claim. The consulting paediatricians should be SMC-registered with specialist accreditation in Paediatric Medicine — verifiable on smc.gov.sg. For planned procedures or admissions, request a written financial counselling estimate from the hospital that clearly splits the Integrated Shield Plan payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions before any deposit is paid. The National Childhood Immunisation Programme (NIP) schedule and developmental milestone assessments are standard services offered within paediatric practice.
To make an appointment, contact Mount Alvernia Hospital Paediatrics by phone or through the online enquiry form, confirm the named paediatrician and their SMC specialist accreditation, and ask for a pre-visit fee estimate covering consultation and any likely investigations.

My husband and I recently welcomed our 3rd child at Mount Alvernia Hospital. We chose Mount A for all 3 of our births, mainly because it is a Catholic hospital that offers a blessing service for babies and parents post-discharge. In addition, upon request, a Sister or a member of the pastoral team will come to the hospital room to pray with you and bring Holy Communion, as part of Mount A’s Clinical Pastoral Care programme. Personally, Mount A has always felt like home, and the standard of care and service has consistently been superb. A special shout-out to the Lactation Consultant, Ms Sharon, who was incredibly patient and reassuring while guiding me through lactation. I am also deeply grateful to the nurses at St Michael Ward. especially Ms Dina, who promptly picked up on my newborn daughter’s jaundice, allowing us to start phototherapy early and eventually be discharged together. Another nurse, Ms Mala, thoughtfully advised us to keep our baby in the nursery for a longer duration, which greatly helped in bringing her bilirubin levels down overnight. Thank you, Mount Alvernia, for walking this journey with our family once again, with compassion, faith, and excellent care.

I was admitted to Mount Alvernia for a couple of nights due to a gastrointestinal virus, and I’m truly grateful for the care I received from the nursing team at St Gabriel. When you’re feeling at your worst, small things matter a lot. The nurses were attentive, patient, and consistently kind. I felt well looked after throughout my stay. I especially want to thank Nurse Epe. She cared for me with such natural warmth and attentiveness. she was present, calm, and genuinely caring. She checked in regularly, made sure I was comfortable, and responded quickly whenever I needed help. Her steady presence made a difficult time much easier to get through. Thank you to the entire nursing team for the professionalism and compassion you show every day. It truly makes a difference.

My wife and I recently welcomed our baby boy at Mount Alvernia, and we are extremely grateful for the amazing care we received. All the staff from the nurses to the doctors were incredibly professional, gentle, and attentive throughout my wife’s delivery and recovery. They made the whole experience smooth and reassuring for our family. I want to give a special praise and thanks to nurse Pumaren Bituin. She took exceptional care of our newborn son. She is very friendly, caring, and speaks to our baby so gently. When our baby suddenly choked on thick saliva, her quick response and calm actions helped clear the blockage immediately. We are truly thankful that she helped save our baby boy in that moment. Thank you, Mount Alvernia, and especially Pumaren Bituin, for your kindness, dedication, and genuine care. Highly recommended for all new parents.

Avoid this hospital at all cost, biggest mistake ever. First time here and it’s already a nightmare. Among all the private hospital I’ve visited, this feels like govt hospital standards. The standards are appalling. Requested for a single room, none. Two-bedder, none. Four-bedder, none. And where do they put the patient? Right beside a blasting construction site at St Francis ward. Asked if at least the bed could be changed away from the noise or other wards, answer was still no. Imagine paying private hospital prices only to be told “nothing can be done.” What kind of hospital management thinks this is acceptable? Leaving patients shivering from feeling sick and unable to sleep due to the construction workers right outside the window beside us screaming, shouting and drilling. All we were given a form and told to be understanding and wait till the construction workers end work. The room booking team is an absolute disgrace. They should come down themselves and see what they are putting patients through instead of hiding behind excuses. This place calls itself a private hospital, but the experience is worse than a budget ward. Truly the worst decision to ever step foot here. Do yourself a favor and AVOID.

Went for a day surgery today and met with the kindest and sweetest hospital staff. I want to extend my deepest appreciation for the team that supported me at day ward 3, as well as the surgical team. I entered the procedure room with so much anxiety, but was immediately put to ease with light hearted conversations, a warmer under my blanket to feel less cold, gentle music and a cherry blossoms slide show when I told them the big xray tv looked intimidating. Having been through many bad experiences with other medical professionals, I cannot emphasise how impactful these kind interactions were for me today. Immensely grateful to the team at Mount A! ❤️

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Mount Alvernia Hospital Paediatrics charge?›
Private paediatric consultations in Singapore typically run S$120–250 for a first visit and S$80–180 for follow-ups. Common investigations billed on top include blood panels (S$60–200), X-rays (S$80–150), and urine or swab cultures. GST applies on private medical services. For planned admissions or day procedures, costs vary considerably by condition and class of ward. Mount Alvernia is a private hospital, so subsidised rates do not apply — most families use an Integrated Shield Plan layered on MediShield Life to manage costs. MediSave can be drawn for selected outpatient items under the S$500/year general limit and S$700/year under the Chronic Disease Management Programme for listed conditions. Always request a written financial counselling estimate that itemises insurance, MediSave, and out-of-pocket portions before any procedure. See the full paediatric cost guide for Singapore →
Is Mount Alvernia Hospital Paediatrics MOH-licensed and how do I verify the doctor?›
No MOH Healthcare Services Licence or SMC registration details are currently listed on this KakiList entry. Parents should verify both independently before booking. Every legitimate private clinic holds an MOH Healthcare Services Licence issued under the Healthcare Services Act — searchable on the MOH licensee directory. Every practising paediatrician must be on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register at smc.gov.sg; search by name to confirm registration status, specialist accreditation in Paediatric Medicine, and any disciplinary history. Mount Alvernia Hospital is a long-established private hospital in Singapore, and its paediatric department would be expected to meet these requirements — but the absence of licence data on this listing means you should confirm directly with the hospital before attending. Neither the clinic licence nor the doctor's SMC entry alone is sufficient — both should be verified.
How do I use MediSave or insurance at Mount Alvernia Hospital Paediatrics?›
Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life cover most private specialist consultations, day surgery, and inpatient paediatric stays, subject to the plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider rules. For any planned admission or procedure, request pre-authorisation and a Letter of Guarantee from your insurer before the event to avoid claim disputes after the fact. MediSave can pay for selected outpatient items — S$500/year under the general outpatient limit and S$700/year under the Chronic Disease Management Programme for listed chronic conditions. Paediatric inpatient admissions can also draw on MediSave up to the applicable daily limits. For any planned procedure, request a financial counselling session at the clinic — the hospital should provide an itemised pre-treatment estimate splitting insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket cost in writing. Skipping this step is the most common reason families are surprised by their final bill.
