Doctor Nancy is one of the best doctors I have ever met. So friendly, caring and personable. She took such good care of my little girl. It makes me feel great that we still have doctors like this taking care of our babies. The clinic assistants are friendly and sweet as well! This team really made a stressful experience a comfortable one.

Natalie Epton is the worst paediatrician I have ever met. My child was sick and I came to Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital. They informed us that the paediatrician available at that time was Natalie Epton, and we were directed to go to her clinic. We had to walk from the hospital to her practice under the hot weather while carrying my sick infant, and we were sweating by the time we arrived. When we reached the clinic, we waited for a long time. When we finally spoke to Dr Natalie, she was very arrogant and stated that my child’s temperature and condition were fine without checking him first. She also said that she was busy because she had a conference with Bangkok. She is a well-known doctor, but she was very rude, made conclusions without examining the patient, and there was no need to mention being busy with a conference in Bangkok. Being a doctor is a noble profession that should show empathy to sick people. Natalie Epton is the most arrogant doctor I have met during my visits to Mount Elizabeth Novena, and this is very different from what is written about her on Google. In addition, I would like to give feedback to Dr Natalie Epton. Even if you are busy, as a doctor you should not tell parents of a sick child that you have a conference with Bangkok. Such a statement shows a lack of empathy and comes across as arrogant. Parents come because they are worried about their child and expect care, attention, and professionalism. Being busy should never make a patient or parent feel unimportant I will also be submitting formal feedback to Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital regarding the experience I went through. .

You will wait for a very long time to see the doctor even though you make appointment, 1-2hours at least! Nobody likes that! The clinic better control the consultant timing, how come a repeat visit can take 45mins? Is it really fair to other patients ？

Brought my 4 yo to SBCC novena as no other PD clinic is opened and we are flying off that night. The nurses are very nice and take in my registration. Beforehand, they did shared that wait is required as the clinic usually go on appointment basis. Dr Nancy is also very professional and treat my girl with care. She also ensure that she addresses my concerns (travelling) and the required medication. She also share what to look out for etc. Nurses are swift in medicine preparation and billing. In the end the wait wasn't as long as i expected and i am able to continue the travel plans with peace of mind. Thank you dr nancy and the nurses!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does SBCC Gastroenterology Hepatology & Nutrition charge?›
Private specialist consultations in Singapore typically run S$120–250 for a first appointment and S$80–180 for follow-ups. For paediatric gastroenterology, investigations are commonly billed on top of the consultation: blood panels S$60–200, abdominal ultrasound S$150–400, and endoscopic procedures S$3,000–8,000+ depending on scope and whether general anaesthesia is required. GST applies on private medical services. For any planned procedure, ask the clinic for a written financial counselling estimate that itemises what your Integrated Shield Plan (IP) insurer will cover, what can be offset by MediSave, and what remains out-of-pocket. MediSave can be used for selected outpatient items under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP) and for approved procedures. Pre-authorisation and a Letter of Guarantee from your IP insurer should be obtained before any elective procedure to avoid post-treatment billing disputes.

Is SBCC Gastroenterology Hepatology & Nutrition MOH-licensed and how do I verify the doctor?›
No regulatory licences have been confirmed in this listing, which means parents must verify directly before booking. Every legitimate private specialist clinic must hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence issued under the Healthcare Services Act — searchable on the MOH licensee directory. Every practising specialist must appear on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register at smc.gov.sg; search by the consulting doctor's name to confirm SMC registration status, specialist accreditation in Paediatric Medicine or Paediatric Gastroenterology, and any disciplinary history. For paediatric subspecialists, a fellowship with the Academy of Medicine Singapore (FAMS) or an equivalent Royal College fellowship is the meaningful additional credential. Confirm both the clinic's MOH licence and the named doctor's SMC entry before booking — neither alone is sufficient. The absence of confirmed licences in this listing is the primary reason confidence in this listing is rated medium.
How do I use MediSave or insurance at SBCC Gastroenterology Hepatology & Nutrition?›
Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life cover most private specialist consultations, day surgery, and inpatient procedures subject to the plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider rules. For planned endoscopic or surgical procedures, contact your IP insurer in advance to confirm pre-authorisation and request a Letter of Guarantee so claims are not disputed after treatment. MediSave can be used for selected outpatient items under the MediSave 500/700 withdrawal limits (S$500/year general outpatient, S$700/year for CDMP-listed chronic conditions). Paediatric chronic gastrointestinal or liver conditions may qualify under CDMP — confirm eligibility with the clinic at the first visit. For any planned procedure, request a written financial counselling session that splits the insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portion clearly before proceeding.
