A good orthopedic surgeon is not just somene who successfully removes a damaged joint or bone and replaces it with a new part. He/she would ensure the patient, after surgery, regains the use of the affected part. So it is with Dr Putra who performed arthroscopy on my L knee on 5 March 2020. I woke up from surgery and was fitted with a knee brace. The very next day I was taught some physio exercises to strengthen my knee. A day or two later, I was discharged and given a letter to go to the Klinik Kesihatan near my house to get some physiotherapy sessions. At that time, I did not know that Sg Buloh hosp was being converted to 'Covid Hosp'! As Covid cases rose, the MCO was enforced and I was unable to get any physiotherapy. Dr Putra subsequently sent me a link for some knee strengthening exercises which I folowed diligently as I was determined to get well and continue trekking which I had taken up a year ago. Dr. Putra is always friendly and concerned about my progress. He would examine and assess my range of movements during subsequent follow-ups and always motivate me to exercise. This is a sign of a caring doctor who takes pride in his work! Happy that I can now go back to trekking, although wearing a knee brace. So, I would like to thank Dr. Putra for all the encouragement and genuine care he has shown in helping me recover.

Went to see Dr Putra, he was really good, spotted right away the root cause problem which we hadn't realised for some time. Dr Putra is a doctor not only good in Orthopaedic knowledge and skill, but also a doctor with extraordinary good soft skills when treating his patients. 👍 …

During my treatment and counseling sessions with Dr. Putra, there have been many positive developments in my life... The detailed explanations of each injury I experienced were easy to understand... Meniscus, ligaments, and femur fracture were the conditions I faced... What's important is self-motivation to recover successfully and following the advice given is the key to success.
