      Thank you to the management, staff and doctors at ALTY Orthopaedic Hospital KL for their outstanding care provided to my mother throughout her hospitalisation and post-surgery treatment. Special thanks to Prof. Dr. Azhar Merican for his surgical expertise and v. clear explanations to reassure us. The hospital’s facilities are top-tier & the nursing team (especially in the ICU unit) was v. caring and efficient. My mother is swiftly recovering a few weeks after her surgery. Can't recommend ALTY enough for their services and high quality care👍

      We have been to Alty twice - once for my 81 year old father’s spine surgery (with Spine Surgeon Dr Wong) and second for my 77 year old mother’s partial knee surgery (with Knee surgeon Professor Dr Azhar Merican). Both surgeons were fantastic - the surgeries went very smoothly, the pre- and post- surgery care by the surgeons, the General Consultant Cardiologist Dr. Lee, Anasthaetist Dr Fadzil, the HDU nurses, Joint Navigator Carrie, the physiotherapists, and the ward and clinic nurses were amazing. I have since recommended Alty to friends and family having osteo issues and will not hesitate to continue recommending Alty. Both parents recovered swiftly and are in good shape. Thank you 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.
