On Google, the clinic holds a 4.8 out of 5 rating across 853 reviews — a robust sample that provides meaningful confidence in patient satisfaction.

As a paediatric specialist clinic, the typical pathway begins with either a direct walk-in or a polyclinic or GP referral letter — a referral reduces the consultation fee at public hospital SOCs, though private specialist clinics such as this one accept self-referred patients at standard private rates of S$120–250 for a first consultation. At the first visit, the doctor will review the child's developmental history, presenting complaint, and any prior investigations, then recommend diagnostics (blood work, X-ray, or ultrasound as appropriate), a treatment plan, and a follow-up cadence. Parents should bring the child's vaccination record and any existing specialist letters. For planned procedures, the clinic should provide a written financial counselling estimate itemising insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions before any deposit is paid.

Dr Kelvin Tan is extremely meticulous and patient. He takes the time to ensure all questions are answered thoroughly and treated my mother with great care. He also performed a knee replacement for my mother-in-law, and the entire experience gave us great confidence in his expertise. Dr Tan clearly knows exactly what he is doing and provides the best advice with clarity and honesty. I highly recommend seeing Dr Tan for any orthopaedic-related concerns.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Kelvin Tan for the past 2 years for 2 separate injuries. He is very attentive, thorough, and takes the time to explain the diagnosis and treatment clearly. Also a shoutout to the receptionists, who are always very helpful in finding the best available appointment slot.
Dr. Arul is an amazing orthopedic specialist! He treated my daughter with such care, patience, and expertise. From the very first appointment, he took the time to listen to our concerns, explain everything clearly, and make sure we felt comfortable with the treatment plan. My daughter felt at ease throughout the entire process, and her recovery has been amazing thanks to his guidance. The staff was also friendly and efficient, making every visit smooth and stress-free. I'm truly grateful for the outstanding care we received.
My meniscus tore due to exercise, and Dr Kelvin operated it and I recovered well. His nurse, Jasmine, is kind too. Their in-house physiotherapist, Rika, helped me walk again during the recovery period; I appreciate her tremendous support. My overall experience was very positive and well managed.
I had an excellent experience at Singapore sport and orthopedic. The orthopedic therapy sessions were very professional and effective. The doctors and therapists explained everything clearly and designed a treatment plan that really helped reduce my pain and improve my mobility. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always made me feel comfortable during each visit. The clinic is also clean, well-organized, and uses modern equipment. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for quality orthopedic care and therapy.

Every legitimate clinic must hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence under the Healthcare Services Act — verifiable on the MOH licensee directory. No licence details are currently listed for this provider, so parents should ask the clinic directly for their licence number and verify it before booking. Every practising doctor in Singapore is listed on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register at smc.gov.sg. Search by the consulting doctor's name to confirm registration status, specialist accreditation in Paediatric Medicine, and any disciplinary history. For surgical sub-specialisms, an FRCS or FAMS fellowship is the meaningful additional credential beyond basic SMC registration. Confirm both the clinic's MOH licence and the named doctor's SMC entry before your first appointment — neither alone is sufficient.
Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life cover most private specialist consultations, day surgery, and inpatient stays, subject to your plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider rules. For any planned procedure, obtain a Letter of Guarantee from your IP insurer before the date to avoid post-treatment claim disputes. MediSave can be used for selected outpatient items under the S$500/year general outpatient limit, or S$700/year under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP), which covers conditions such as asthma, diabetes, hypertension, and selected others. The National Childhood Immunisation Programme (NIP) schedule and developmental milestone assessments are also relevant considerations for paediatric visits — confirm which items are MediSave-claimable with the clinic. Before any planned procedure, request a written financial counselling session. A reputable private clinic will issue an itemised pre-treatment estimate — skipping this step is the most common reason families are surprised by the final bill.
