      Highly recommended! I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Vijaya Shankar Arunachalam and the clinical team at KPJ Seremban Specialist Hospital. I successfully underwent a bilateral laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair under his care on June 5th. From the very first consultation, Dr. Vijaya was extremely professional, reassuring, and thoroughly explained the procedure, which gave me immense peace of mind. The laparoscopic surgery went smoothly, and the post-operative recovery has been excellent with very neat incisions. The hospital staff and nurses also provided top-notch care. If you are looking for an experienced General and Upper GI surgeon, Dr. Vijaya Shankar is definitely the best choice. Thank you, Dr. Vijaya, and KPJ Seremban for the outstanding service!

      Had a surgery here done by Dr Vijaya Shankar. Dr was compassionate, knowledgeable, attentive to the patient. All the nurses from Sakura Ward were kind and friendly. Asna from dietitian was also very kind and knowledgeable on what i can eat after surgery. Iโ€™m glad that I chose KPJ to get treatment from.
