In 2023, I was diagnosed with a lacrimal gland tumor. My doctor recommended enucleation. Fortunately, I met Dr. Vanessa. She insisted on treating me without removing my eyeball. After chemotherapy and immunotherapy, I was again told by the doctor that I absolutely had to have my eyeball removed. However, Dr. Vanessa still stuck to her original intention and diligently sought treatment options for me. Finally, she gave me good news: I wouldn't need to have my eye removed. After surgery, I underwent radiotherapy. The treatment was very successful, and the tumor has completely disappeared for now. I am so happy. If it weren't for Dr. Vanessa's persistence, I would be a one-eyed person. Thank you to my goddess, my beautiful doctor, Dr. Vanessa Naseem Neoh. Meeting you was truly a stroke of luck!

Dr. Vanessa is a doctor who greatly aided my recovery. I am very grateful because the doctor patiently and very kindly explained everything. Whatever I asked was explained in detail, and she repeatedly asked if there was anything else I wanted to ask. She is very professional, and the nurses at the clinic are all friendly too. I express my sincere thanks, especially to Dr. Vanessa 🙏🏻🙏🏻
