Came here for Orthopaedic and I am Dr Rusdi's patient. I was admitted for 5 days. Dr Rusdi explained very clearly about my diagnosis, procedure and healing rate. He also showed me a few exercises that I can do as physiotherapy while healing. He understood that I was in pain and advised me to perform the exercises slowly and to the best of my abilities. He is very gentle and cares for his patients well. Thank you to all umsc staff, especially Dr Rusdi for being very patient.

Alhamdulillah. October last year was nightmare for me. I had a very terrible accident and hit by motorcyclist (wrong way) and Can't walk for 5 months and now fully recovered thanks to Dr. Rusdi from orthopaedic traumalogy department who treat me during 16 days being warded in hospital. Thanks also to all nurses who helping me during me being warded. Overhere if you come on weekend is very pack with people. I suggest you to come in weekdays, not so many come during working days. Lastly, overall I'm so satisfied with the treatment that I get from UMSC staff. Once again, thank you so much to Dr. Rusdi and all the team.
