The worst hospital of the whole Malaysia. Many bad experiences with the doctors over there. The last drop was vaccination buster. We paid RM 148, when me and my husband came for procedure, they already filed up the syringe without showing to us. We told them we are not going to accept this buster, we want to see the battle, we have to be sure that the vaccine that we are getting is correct. Doctor Leong Kar Hing told us we should tell him earlier we want to see. Nonsense. The person to whom I have to trust my health doesn’t know even simple rules of vaccination!! He said they doesn’t have anymore. We insisted to get the new one. He went out after 20 minutes came back, was trying to manipulate something with the cold box, asked nurses to stand around the box to cover. When we saw this we decided to not to do the buster over there, since they trying to bluff. Once he heard that we doesn’t want, he became very happy. I asked for the duty manager and refund. Waited for her another half an hour. They were dragging the time. We couldn’t wait. Left and went to another small clinic where our buster went smooth. Rm 99. And we was shocked when we saw the email from island hospital that they are congratulated us with the successful buster. I can’t even imagine how unprofessional and greedy have to be to do that! Than manager called me, her name is Josephine Wong (later we knew that she is marketing manager, which is also nonsense, how she can be related to this issue). So she said that amount is not refundable. But I told that is not fir our case since is their mistake and unprofessionally. She said she will update me. Almost three weeks I was calling and rushing, today she told me that they decided not to pay back. I told her in this case will meet them in the court. She laughed back and said ok. Never go tho this lousy hospital!
