My wife was having irregular menses and we have decided to have consult with Dr Dharmini. She has done a detailed and comprehensive assessment to my wife thru admission. Also after the thorough assessment she referred my wife to a physician, Dr Kavita. Prior to this my wife had the same issue and we went to a prominent specialist in Klang valley around Sunway area about 2 years back. The issue was treated on surface level and did not rectify to the root cause. The issue persists and continue with medication and only end up in suffering in severe pain. A thorough examination was carried out by Dr Kavitha where she went up to the root cause of the problem instead of treating on surface level and we are completely satisfied with the Doctor’s assessment method. Also she referred her to an endocrinologist Dr Prof Ikram. This is the second time I’m visiting Mahsa Specialist Center where my initial visit was for my son under Dr Vaisnawi who also done an excellent job in treating my son. In essence, I’m satisfied with the quality of service, facilities and the doctor’s approach in handling the patients. Definitely will recommend the hospital within my circle and thank you for the excellent service

I brought my mum in for a consultation and was impressed with the service. Prof. Dr Ikram was professional, patient, and explained everything clearly, while the nurse, Mr Hairul Azhar, was friendly and attentive. The whole team made the experience smooth and reassuring.
