This 5 star is for Dr Siva Kumar Ariaretnam. He is indeed a excellent doctor. I am due for a review on my hip replacement done by Dr Siva in Gleneagles Pg.... all this bad reviews on this hospital is making me uneasy. BUT since Dr Siva is there i will still make an appointment. Good luck to me. : )

Stayed for 5 days for a left knee arthroscopy. Received this amazing 5 star experience from my specialist Dato Dr Sivakumar Ariaretnam, the nursing team, and even the F&B staff. I was looked after so well, the hospital food was nutritious + delicious, and the room was comfortable to rest and recover. I would definitely recommend seeking treatment here at SJMC.
