      Special thanks to the PA (Syazwan) and CA (Vivva) of Dr Sekkapan, who help me during my visit to OPD at Columbia Tebrau. Very gentle, caring, and thorough in monitoring my condition and giving me such a clear information regarding my procedure. Excellent service and dedication. They even visit me in the ward during my hospitalisation ❤️ I am very grateful to the surgeon Dr. Sekkapan Thannimalai A/L Sambanthan for the outstanding care provided. From the initial consultation to post-operative follow-up, everything was explained clearly and handled with professionalism and compassion. Highly recommended for those who want to know clearly about the option on how to loose weight 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Not to forget, I am extremely satisfied with the care provided by the staff nurses at ASC during my scope procedure, lab staff, and radiology staff. They were dedicated, efficient, and always made sure the patient was comfortable. Every question was answered with patience and kindness. Truly outstanding service.

      Dr Sekkapan , Priya, Wan I underwent bariatric surgery at Columbia Asia Hospital Tebrau with Dr. Sekkapan Dr. Sekkapan explained everything very well and gave me a lot of confidence. The nurses who took care of me were also very attentive and provided excellent service. After the procedure, the Doctor advised me on the dietary restrictions and how to take care of my diet. I followed every piece of advice given. I feel that choosing to have bariatric surgery was the best decision for me for the sake of better health.

      I had the privilege of being under the care of Dr. Sekkapan Thannimalai for my Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication procedure and I couldn't be more pleased with my experience. Dr. Sekkapan is not only a highly skilled surgeon but also a kind and attentive professional who took the time to address all my concerns and questions with patience and clarity. The nursing staff in the MD7 ward were equally friendly and supportive, creating a comforting environment during my recovery. I am truly grateful for the exceptional care I received and wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Sekkapan to anyone facing similar challenges. To the Hospital Management, while my overall experience was excellent, I would like to suggest closer attention to the cleanliness of the toilets in the ward and regular replacement of shower curtains, as the dampness can lead to unpleasant odors. Maintaining these facilities to a high standard would further enhance the patient experience. Thank you forthe excellent care and making this journey a positive one!
