I have been a patient at Island Hospital for 11 years and am still receiving treatment. I am not an agent and have not been paid a single cent, but I have recommended Island Hospital to over 100 of my acquaintances because I am grateful to the doctors and the Indonesian desk at Island Hospital. They are very helpful. The doctors I have visited are Datuk Oh Kim Soon (very busy but extremely skilled), Dr. Goh Tiong Meng (a general surgeon who has operated on me multiple times), Dr. Goh Hock Keen (an internist who brings peace of mind to his patients), Dr. Mahalaksmi (a very skilled OB/GYN who chooses the most prudent course of action), Dr. Malik (the doctor managing my diabetes), Dr. Yeoh (an exceptionally skilled cardiologist who promptly assisted my sibling), and Dr. Sritaran (a urologist with empathy for his patients, even the somewhat difficult ones). In conclusion, the doctors and the Indonesian desk at Island Hospital are helpful and kind-hearted.
