    About Doctor

    Professor Kwan Mun Keong is one of Malaysia’s leading spine surgeons and a highly respected academic in orthopaedic surgery. He obtained his MBBS and MS Orthopaedics from the University of Malaya, giving him strong local medical training; over the years, he has built up both his clinical and research profile substantially. His main sub-specialty is spinal deformity surgery — especially scoliosis (including adolescent idiopathic scoliosis) — and he treats both non-operative and operative cases. He also practices minimally invasive stabilization techniques (MISt) using percutaneous pedicle screws, and deals with complex spinal issues including trauma, tumour, infection, and deformity. In terms of volume and experience, he handles about 300 spine cases a year, with ~200 of those being scoliosis cases, which indicates both high surgical activity and specialization. He has also been active in academic output: more than 100 peer-reviewed publications, contributions to books and book chapters in spinal surgery; awards for research (both basic science and clinical) such as the P. Balasubramaniam Award and Subir Sengupta Award.

    I had my posterior spinal fusion in February 2018, and now is 3 weeks post op. I was very impressed by the team led by Prof Kwan and Prof Chris. They are extremely dedicated, experienced and professional. They gave me confidence and trust that I felt so determined to undergo this surgery. A very big thank you to all the doctors and nurses of Mawar Ward. God bless them! I am recovering smoothly by God's grace and because of all their efficient efforts.

    I went through spinal surgery (scoliosis) by Kwan's prof team and prof Chris. I am very happy because the operation was successful. It was because the team of doctors was great and very communicative. Thank you prof Kwan and prof Chris from UMSC kuala lumpur.

    i salute d most dedicated doctors i hv ever met in d country : Prof Kwan, Prof Chiu + Prof Shanaz who worked as a team for my scheduled lumbar surgery in mid Dec 18. however a new MRI revealed tat i actually require a major surgery lasting 4-6 hrs. d concensus arrived at by d team was that i wld be instead given an epidural steroid injection for d timr being by d very competent Prof Shanaz. when he administeted it i felt that it was only an ant bite ! while executing d whole procedure, Prof Shanaz made sure i was comfortable n he spoke in d most calming voice telling what he was going to do next. that put me at ease n filled me wif confidence that it wld be successfully done. of course d pre + post operation manual prepared for patients was most enlightening. inside it are explanations of what to do b4 n aft ur specific surgery. an immensely useful guide for patients. Prof Kwan exudes and inpires confidence in me as to what steps r appropriate for my lumbar's deteriorated condition. he reminds me of d shepherd who knows what to do his 'lost' sheep. Prof Chiu too takes his time to explain patiently n clearly to me + my husband regarding my case.he set up a WhatsApp group chat tat incld d whole team, Prof Kwan's PA Sr Chua, my husband n even my daughter who's far away. meanwhile i hv posed some questions n i alws get prompt replies from d doctors. that leads me to alws wonder : how do these super doctors manage it, wif clinic reviews, surgeries n explanations to patients, ward rounds.. now i m into d 12th day of d steroid jab + i m still doing fine wif minimal nerve pain in my legs n pelvis. these doctors r extremely dedicated to their profession , ethical n full of empathy. they r rare gems in d world of medicine in our country!
