About The Little Surgery
About The Little Surgery
The Little Surgery is a paediatric clinic located at Mount Alvernia Hospital Medical Centre A on Thomson Road, serving families islandwide. KakiList has verified the provider's operating details and contact channels. The clinic holds a 5/5 rating across 10 Google reviews, though this is a small sample and should be treated as directional only rather than a definitive measure of performance.
Families typically begin by contacting the clinic directly via WhatsApp, phone, or the online enquiry form to arrange a first consultation. A paediatric specialist visit covers presenting concerns such as fever, respiratory illness, developmental milestones, growth monitoring, and the National Childhood Immunisation Programme schedule. The doctor will take a full history, carry out a clinical examination, and recommend any necessary investigations — blood work, urine culture, or imaging — before outlining a treatment or monitoring plan. Parents considering a private paediatric specialist should confirm the named doctor's Singapore Medical Council registration and specialist accreditation in Paediatric Medicine before booking, and ask about the clinic's referral pathway to Mount Alvernia's inpatient wards if admission is ever required.
To take the next step, contact The Little Surgery directly via WhatsApp or phone to confirm the first consultation appointment, the doctor's availability, and what to bring — including the child's health booklet and any prior investigation results.

Dr. Ong is an excellent and highly skilled surgeon. She is wonderfully calm, reassuring, and very pleasant to talk to. It's clear she genuinely cares about her young patients. We felt completely confident in her care from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Our daughter Lisa was born with esophageal atresia and Dr. Ong performed her surgery shortly after birth. Thanks to her skill and care, she recovered smoothly and is now growing up healthy and strong. We feel very fortunate and deeply grateful to have had such a wonderful surgeon for her at that critical time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does The Little Surgery charge?›
Private paediatric specialist consultations in Singapore typically run S$120–250 for a first visit and S$80–180 for follow-ups. The Little Surgery has not published a specific fee schedule, so parents should confirm the exact consultation fee when booking. On top of the consultation, investigations are billed separately — a blood panel typically S$60–200, urine culture S$40–80, X-ray S$80–150, and ultrasound S$150–400. Vaccinations under the National Childhood Immunisation Programme are also available at most paediatric clinics and priced per dose. GST applies on private medical services. For any planned procedure, request a written financial counselling estimate that splits insurance, MediSave, and out-of-pocket portions before proceeding.

Is The Little Surgery MOH-licensed and how do I verify the doctor?›
No MOH Healthcare Services Licence or Singapore Medical Council (SMC) registration appears in the provider data currently held by KakiList. Both are mandatory for a legitimate private specialist clinic — the clinic premises must hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence under the Healthcare Services Act, and the consulting doctor must appear on the SMC public register at smc.gov.sg with specialist accreditation in Paediatric Medicine confirmed. Parents should verify both directly before booking. Search the named doctor by full name on the SMC register to confirm registration status, specialist accreditation, and any disciplinary history. Confirm the clinic's MOH licence on the MOH licensee directory. Neither document alone is sufficient — both should be in order. If The Little Surgery can supply these details on request, that is a reasonable step before paying for a consultation.
How do I use MediSave or insurance at The Little Surgery?›
Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life can cover private specialist consultations, day surgery, and inpatient stays, subject to the plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider rules. Contact your insurer to confirm pre-authorisation requirements before any planned procedure, and request a Letter of Guarantee where applicable to avoid claim disputes after the fact. MediSave can be used for selected outpatient items under the S$500/year general withdrawal limit or S$700/year under the Chronic Disease Management Programme, which covers conditions such as asthma and selected developmental conditions in children. Paediatric vaccinations under the National Childhood Immunisation Programme are MediSave-claimable at approved rates. For any planned procedure, ask the clinic for a written financial counselling estimate itemising insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions before paying any deposit. Skipping this step is the most common reason families are surprised by their final bill.
