    Truly thankful and appreciative of the excellent expertise provided by Doctor Ballan Kannan. When I was referred to Doctor Ballan Kannan on Oct 2025, the doctor did very thorough examinations which resulted in a diagnosis of stage 2 colorectal cancer. Doctor Ballan was very informative and provided a wealth of advise, dietary suggestions, treatment & surgery options for my condition. The doctors knowledge and professionalism calmed my fears. As expected, I was initially in shock at the diagnosis. Doctor Ballan took me through the steps of treatment needed, he ensured I received the best care and medical services and has supported me throughout the life changing diagnosis. I am truly grateful to have him as the doctor attending to my condition. Just recently, Doctor Ballan informed me I had achieved a full clinical response and the cancer was in remission. Additionally, his clinics front desk staff Ms Jancinta makes me feel so welcome, she is extremly well-versed in her job, attending to all patients with respect and dignity. She always provides support and information in detail. As patients, we often go to a hospital or clinic because of a particular doctor. My family and I will continue to visit KPJ Johor, largely because of the excellent treatment given by Doctor Ballan! Thank you Doctor ๐Ÿ™

    I had a wonderful experience under the care of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ballan. He is an outstanding doctor with deep expertise and knowledge. Before my surgery, he took the time to communicate thoroughly, even drawing diagrams to ensure I clearly understood my medical condition and the upcoming procedures. My surgery went smoothly, and my recovery was quick. While I was recovering in the ward, Dr. Ballan and his team visited me every single day to closely monitor my progress and make sure I was comfortable. I am extremely grateful for the excellent treatment and attentive care I received. I highly recommend Dr. Ballan to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate surgeon.
