About Surgery Centre For Children
Surgery Centre For Children is a paediatric surgical practice located at Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre, serving families across Singapore. The centre holds a 5/5 rating across 12 Google reviews, though this is a small sample and should be treated as directional only. No regulatory licence information has been provided to KakiList at this time, and ACRA registration has not been confirmed, so families are encouraged to verify credentials directly before booking.
For families considering a first consultation, the typical pathway is either a direct walk-in or a referral letter from a GP or polyclinic — a referral is not always mandatory at private specialist clinics but can facilitate Integrated Shield Plan (IP) pre-authorisation and MediSave claims. At the first appointment, the paediatric surgeon will review the child's presenting condition, order any relevant investigations (blood panel, ultrasound, or imaging as appropriate), and discuss the treatment or surgical plan. For planned procedures, parents should request a written financial counselling estimate that clearly separates the insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions before any deposit is paid. Families with an Integrated Shield Plan layered on MediShield Life should confirm pre-authorisation and a Letter of Guarantee with their insurer ahead of any day surgery or inpatient admission.

Dr. Chui and his staff (Pearlyn etc) are amazing! We had an emergency situation and he got us through it so efficiently and caringly, while still making sure we had the time to heal. They are great at understanding the needs, care requirements and emotions of children. The surgery was also done expertly. If you end up with Dr. Chui and this centre, you will be in the best of hands.

Dr. Chiu was very gentle, reassuring and you can see his passion on what he is doing… he really take time to explain to me everything that i needed to know.. usually to see a doctor for my son is super chaotic but our appointment with him is smooth and less scary because he tend to play with his patients and make them comfortable. 5 start is not enough..superb team especially nurse Sarah..

We went to Dr. Chui at the Surgery Centre for Children for my 9-year-old child's surgery and it was the best decision. I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the moment we arrived for consultation, the staff was welcoming and attentive, which immediately put my son and me at ease. Dr. Chui was exceptional in his approach, taking the time to explain the procedure in a way that my son could understand. He was patient, thorough, and genuinely caring, answering all of our questions and addressing our concerns with compassion and clarity. The surgery itself, I thought, went remarkably smoothly, and Dr. Chui's expertise was evident. The precision and skills made for a quick recovery, allowing my son to get back to his usual activities quickly. Post-operative care instructions were clear and easy to follow, making the transition back to home seamless. The admin assistant from the Clinic was very helpful! What stood out the most was how Dr. Chui and his team treated us. They were patient, attentive and clear throughout their communication. This made us, confident and calmer as parents. Their professionalism and kindness made a potentially stressful experience much more manageable. If you are looking for a skilled and compassionate surgeon for your child, I highly recommend Dr. Chui. Thank you, Dr. Chui and the team from Surgery Centre For Children, for your excellent care!

Fantastic team here. We visited Dr Chan when my daughter had stomach pain and they were fantastic. Dr Chan patiently explained to my daughter how it all works and what was going on. He answered all my questions patiently and told us next steps. I also give kudos to Ms Evelyn at the front desk whose follow up and assistance is highly commendable. She made sure we had everything before we left and made multiple calls to make sure we had the reports. Highly impressed with the entire service!

Our 3-week-old baby was admitted to A&E and Dr Chui Chan Hon was assigned to our case. From the start, Dr Chui was reassuring and great at explaining the possible hypotheses for his condition, and diagnostics that would be required. He was very experienced and all the procedures were carried out efficiently. Baby even slept through one of the procedures, so it wasn’t too uncomfortable I guess. His nurse Sara was also great at explaining the after care require at home in detail, step by step. Throughout the whole process, we felt that we were in very good hands, and would recommend Dr Chui to anyone seeking an experienced, knowledgeable, and reassuring Pediatric Surgeon for their tiny one. We’ve heard from other medical staff that Dr Chui is highly regarded in the region, and it’s easy to see why!

Is Surgery Centre For Children MOH-licensed and how do I verify the doctor?›
Every legitimate clinic operating in Singapore must hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence issued under the Healthcare Services Act — verifiable on the MOH licensee directory at moh.gov.sg. Every practising doctor must also appear on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register at smc.gov.sg, where you can confirm registration status, specialist accreditation in Paediatric Surgery or the relevant surgical discipline, and any disciplinary history. No licence information has been provided to KakiList for Surgery Centre For Children at this time. Families should verify both the clinic's MOH licence and the named surgeon's SMC registration independently before booking. For surgical specialisms, a Royal College or Academy of Medicine Singapore fellowship (FRCS or FAMS) is the meaningful additional credential to look for beyond basic SMC registration. Neither the clinic licence nor the doctor's SMC entry alone is sufficient — confirm both.
How do I use MediSave or insurance at Surgery Centre For Children?›
Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life cover most private specialist consultations, day surgery, and inpatient stays, subject to the plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider rules. Confirm pre-authorisation and a Letter of Guarantee from your insurer before any planned procedure to avoid claim disputes after the fact. MediSave can be used for selected outpatient items under the MediSave 500/700 withdrawal limits (S$500/year general outpatient, S$700/year for the Chronic Disease Management Programme). For paediatric surgery specifically, MediSave can typically be used towards approved surgical procedures under the MediSave surgical schedule — the amount claimable depends on the procedure's table classification. Request a financial counselling session at the clinic before any procedure: a reputable private clinic will issue an itemised pre-treatment estimate splitting insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions in writing. Skipping this step is the most common reason families are surprised by their final bill.
