    I was admitted to ALTY on 9th Dec 2025 before noon and discharched on 12th Dec 2025 in the afternoon. My stay in ALTY was excellant, Professor Dr. Azhar Mahmood Merican that handled my surgery was fantastic, Dr. Fadhil my anaesthologis was very attentive and addressed all my worries of pain before going for surgery, nurses Tasha & Sara you are models for "Service with a Smile" which just lights up my day, Nicholson thanks for your humble service, Shanti my Physiotherapist thanks for your attentive and patient coaching and last but not least (sorry i cam't remember your names but you know who you are during my stay in ALTY) the nurses that took turns to attend to me day and night and the kitchen staff that served up good and nutritious meals for me that was just the "Icing on the cake" for my wanderful stay in ALTY.

    My 77-year-old father recently underwent a total hip replacement at ALTY Orthopaedic Hospital under the care of Prof. Dr. Azhar Mahmood Merican, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the very first consultation, Dr. Azhar showed exceptional patience and professionalism. He took the time to understand my father’s condition and concerns thoroughly. We’re also very grateful that he was able to accommodate our request for an immediate surgery date. The surgery went smoothly, and we were impressed by the neatness of the incision—no visible stitches at all, thanks to the hospital’s advanced surgical methods. Dr. Azhar personally checked on my father every single day, which gave us a lot of reassurance. My father was admitted for 4 days and 3 nights. The overall service at ALTY truly felt like a 5-star hotel—the warmth, attentiveness, and professionalism of every staff member, from doctors to nurses to service staff, made the entire stay pleasant and memorable. A special mention goes to Carrie, the Joint Navigator, a role I’ve never encountered in other hospitals. She guided us through the entire journey from pre-surgery preparations to post-surgery recovery, ensuring that both the patient and family were well-informed and supported throughout. Special thanks to Dr Lee Li Ching, cardiologist, Dr Lim, anaesthetist, Dr Stefan, physical therapist, nurse Siti, nurse One Ling, Elina, hospitality manager and all medical personnel ;) Only feedback is F&B can be improved :p We’re now looking forward to the follow-up consultations and physiotherapy sessions. Thank you again to Prof. Dr. Azhar and the incredible team at ALTY for giving my father—and our family—such a positive and comforting experience.
