About Novena Children Clinic
Novena Children Clinic is a paediatric clinic located at 10 Sinaran Drive, #10-32, Singapore 307506, in the Novena medical precinct. KakiList has verified the operating details and contact channel. The clinic holds a 4.1-star rating across 19 Google reviews — a small sample, so treat this as directional rather than conclusive. No regulatory licence information has been provided in the listing, and ACRA registration has not been confirmed; parents should verify the clinic's MOH Healthcare Services Licence and the consulting doctor's Singapore Medical Council registration before booking.
A first visit to a private paediatric clinic typically covers a presenting concern — fever, respiratory symptoms, rashes, developmental queries, or routine immunisations on the National Childhood Immunisation Programme schedule. The doctor will take a history, examine the child, and advise on investigations (blood panel, throat swab, urine dipstick, or referral imaging) where clinically indicated. For developmental milestones and behavioural concerns, a longer consultation slot is usually needed; call ahead to confirm availability. The clinic can be contacted by phone or through the enquiry form on the listing, and the Novena location offers convenient access to other specialist services in the same building and surrounding medical hub.
To make an appointment, call the clinic directly or submit the enquiry form with your child's age, the nature of the visit, and your preferred date — confirm the consultation fee and what investigations, if any, will be billed separately before arriving.

Dr. Keoy is such a gem! Every time I take my son to see him, I leave feeling so grateful—we’re so lucky to have him! I moved to Singapore just two months before my due date, and even before arriving, I had asked a colleague, whose mom has been working at TMC for more than 20 years, to recommend an obstetrician and a pediatrician. My colleague recommended two pediatricians: one was a female doctor, who was described as being very kind and motherly, and the other was Dr. Keoy. When I asked which doctor was more skilled, my colleague said Dr. Keoy was better. So, even though I hadn’t met him yet, I decided to go with Dr. Keoy. I still remember the first time I met Dr. Keoy—it was in a ward at Thomson Medical Centre. He was wearing a polo shirt, which caught my attention because my husband is a huge polo shirt fan too! Fast forward to now—my son is in Primary 1. Over the years, I’ve tried a few other pediatric clinics, mostly because Dr. Keoy’s clinic doesn’t work with any insurance plans. For example, we went to Dr. Christina at Mount Elizabeth for a while. Her clinic is definitely fancy, with a big TV in the waiting area and all. But the wait times were crazy long, and they kept asking for blood tests and prescribing lots of meds (even though insurance covered it, it wasn’t easy on my kid). What really annoyed me was finding out yesterday that they NEVER UPLOADED RECORDS for two vaccines my son got there! Meanwhile, every single vaccine record for my son has been properly uploaded by Dr. Keoy’s clinic. One time, my son accidentally punctured his ear while playing with a cotton swab. Dr. Keoy not only checked it for free but also recommended a fantastic ENT specialist. Back in the day, if my son got sick on a holiday, I’d rush to KK’s emergency department. But now, I’d rather wait through the night for Dr. Keoy’s clinic to open because I feel so much more at ease knowing my son is in his hands. What I really want to say is this: Dr. Keoy’s clinic might not have all the fancy decor, big TVs, or snacks in the waiting room, but his professionalism and care are truly unbeatable. You can trust him 100%. He’s not super chatty or the kind to engage in small talk, but he always takes the time to patiently answer your questions. His diagnoses are spot on, and he only prescribes what’s necessary—no unnecessary tests or over-treatment. He genuinely cares about his patients and not about making extra money. On top of that, his prices are reasonable and sometimes even cheaper (at least compared to what I’ve paid for vaccines and probiotics elsewhere). The trust we have in Dr. Keoy is built on years of care and experience. I honestly hope his clinic keeps going strong for many, many years. Thank you so much, Dr. Keoy—YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

Dr Keoy was my baby son's paediatrician at Thomson Medical Centre. He is clear and concise when conveying information to the parents. We went to his clinic for one follow-up and he was detailed in examining and answering our queries. The waiting time was short even on Saturday. Most importantly, he was very considerate and referred us to a polyclinic for jaundice follow-up voluntarily, without pressurising us to go back to his clinic. The staff at the clinic was friendly as well.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Novena Children Clinic charge?›
Novena Children Clinic's pricing has not been published in the listing, but Singapore private paediatric consultation fees typically run S$80–150 for a first visit and S$60–120 for follow-ups. Items commonly billed on top of the consultation include vaccinations (S$30–80 per dose depending on the vaccine — National Childhood Immunisation Programme vaccines carry a separate schedule), throat or nasal swabs, urine dipstick or culture, blood panels (S$60–200 depending on scope), and any prescribed medications dispensed in-clinic. GST applies on private medical services. For any planned procedure or investigation, ask for a written breakdown of fees — splitting the consultation, diagnostics, and treatment — before proceeding. If you hold an Integrated Shield Plan layered on MediShield Life, confirm with your insurer which outpatient items are claimable and whether pre-authorisation is needed. MediSave can be used for selected outpatient treatments under the S$500/year general withdrawal limit or the S$700/year Chronic Disease Management Programme limit for qualifying conditions.

Is Novena Children Clinic MOH-licensed and how do I verify the doctor?›
No regulatory licences appear in the current listing for Novena Children Clinic, which means independent verification is essential before booking. Every legitimate paediatric clinic must hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence issued under the Healthcare Services Act — this is verifiable on the MOH licensee directory by searching the clinic name or address. Every practising doctor must also appear on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register at smc.gov.sg. Search by the named doctor's full name to confirm active registration, specialist accreditation in Paediatric Medicine if applicable, and the absence of any disciplinary notation. A paediatrician with sub-specialty training (neonatology, paediatric cardiology, paediatric neurology, developmental paediatrics) will typically hold a fellowship from the Academy of Medicine Singapore (FAMS) or an equivalent Royal College qualification, which can also be confirmed on the SMC register. Confirm both the clinic's MOH licence and the named doctor's SMC entry before your child's first appointment.
How do I use MediSave or insurance at Novena Children Clinic?›
MediSave can be used at approved outpatient clinics for selected conditions. The general outpatient MediSave withdrawal limit is S$500 per account holder per year; for conditions covered under the Chronic Disease Management Programme — including asthma and selected developmental conditions — the limit rises to S$700 per year. Routine GP-equivalent paediatric visits for acute illness (fever, cough, gastroenteritis) are not covered by MediSave on an outpatient basis unless the clinic is CDMP-approved and the condition qualifies. If you hold an Integrated Shield Plan layered on MediShield Life, check your policy's outpatient rider coverage — some riders cover specialist consultation fees at private clinics subject to the plan's deductible and co-insurance. Pre-authorisation is rarely required for outpatient visits but is essential for any day-surgery procedure. For any planned investigation or procedure, ask the clinic for a written financial counselling estimate that separates the insurance-claimable portion, any MediSave deduction, and the out-of-pocket balance before proceeding — this is the most reliable way to avoid an unexpected bill.
