Dr Christina Ong has been the paediatrician for all my three children, and we are very grateful to be under her care. She is patient, thorough, and always takes the time to listen and explain things clearly. As a parent, I feel reassured after every visit because she never rushes and genuinely cares about my children’s wellbeing. She is very gentle and calm with kids, which makes clinic visits much less stressful, and her advice has always been practical and helpful. The clinic staff are also friendly and professional.

I am writing to share my disappointment regarding the experience we had at your clinic. We walked in to enquire about an appointment, fully understanding that the doctor may not have had any available slots. Unfortunately, the interaction with the receptionist was extremely unpleasant. The tone used to question us — particularly Miss “What happened to your child?” with full attitude — came across as rude and insensitive tone, like we have done some sin walking in without appointment. This is not an appropriate way to speak to parents who are already anxious about their child’s well-being. It would have been perfectly acceptable to simply inform us, politely, that there were no available slots. Instead, the lack of basic courtesy and professionalism left us very uncomfortable. No matter how good the doctor may be, the attitude and conduct of front-desk staff create the first impression of a clinic. Sadly, this experience has put us off entirely, and we would not consider visiting or recommending the clinic in the future. I strongly suggest that staff be given basic customer service and communication training, as empathy and politeness are essential in a healthcare setting.

Dr Ong has been my sons’ paediatrician for the past four years, and we are very grateful to have her. She is professional and takes a gentle, natural approach to treatment. She never forces decisions on us and always respects us as parents. Dr Ong genuinely loves children and consistently acts in the best interests of both the child and the family. I highly recommend her.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Paediatric Gastroenterology Clinic Dr Christina Ong charge?›
At a private specialist centre such as Mount Elizabeth Novena, a first consultation with a paediatric gastroenterologist typically runs S$120–250, with follow-up visits at S$80–180. These are self-pay rates; families with a polyclinic or GP referral letter to a public hospital specialist outpatient clinic (SOC) would pay S$30–80 after subsidy, though non-urgent waits of 4–12 weeks are common at public hospitals. Investigations billed on top of the consultation commonly include blood panels (S$60–200), abdominal ultrasound (S$150–400), and endoscopic procedures (S$2,000–6,000+ depending on scope and anaesthesia). GST applies on all private specialist services. For any planned procedure, request a written financial counselling estimate that itemises insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions before proceeding.

Is Paediatric Gastroenterology Clinic Dr Christina Ong MOH-licensed and how do I verify the doctor?›
Every legitimate specialist clinic in Singapore holds an MOH Healthcare Services Licence issued under the Healthcare Services Act, verifiable on the MOH licensee directory. Every practising doctor must also appear on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register at smc.gov.sg — search by name to confirm registration status, specialist accreditation in Paediatric Medicine or Paediatric Gastroenterology, and any disciplinary history. For paediatric subspecialty practice, a fellowship with the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) or equivalent, or a fellowship of the Academy of Medicine Singapore (FAMS), is the meaningful credential beyond basic SMC registration. No regulatory licences are listed for this provider in the KakiList directory at this time — parents are advised to verify Dr Christina Ong's SMC registration and the clinic's MOH licence directly before booking. 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.
How do I use MediSave or insurance at Paediatric Gastroenterology Clinic Dr Christina Ong?›
Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life can cover private specialist consultations, day surgery, and inpatient stays subject to your plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider rules. Confirm pre-authorisation and request a Letter of Guarantee from your insurer before any planned endoscopic procedure or day surgery 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 use, or S$700 per year under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP), which covers a defined list of conditions including selected childhood chronic conditions where applicable. Separate MediSave limits apply for outpatient scans and certain procedures. For any planned procedure, request a financial counselling session at the clinic. A reputable private specialist centre will issue a written pre-treatment estimate splitting insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket cost before any procedure begins — skipping this step is the most common reason families are surprised by the final bill.
