Scoliosis surgery - posterior spinal instrumented fusion using pedicle screw system (T6-L3), date - 10 February 2018, and now my son has passed 3 weeks post surgery with amazing recovery process. Indeed the whole experience at UMSC of my son's (Abdullah Fahim, age 13) surgery was a very convincing and amazing journey. Kudos to the surgeons, Prof Kwan Mun Keong and Prof Chris Chan Yin Wei, the rest of the surgery team, Prof Shahnaz and other doctors, the nurses.... And not to forget Sis Chua and also Winnie whom have given us a top notch experience. Truly amazing!!! We just would like to emphasize here that the personalize attention given directly by Prof Chris and Prof Kwan was indeed the point that captured our heart. (Everyone may say UMSC may not have the best bed🙁, but they do have the best surgeons!!). Remarks from a family friend from the UK Jacqui and Geoff Thompson which all of us in Malaysia feel the same - that this is our first in medical history experience, "I’ve never seen any updates like that before whilst they are in surgery what an amazing initiative. So pleased the operation has gone well wishing Fahim a speedy recovery. He’s a brave young man who I am sure will be up and about in now time. Love to you all 💕" Keep it up Profs and UMSC!!!

I had a slipped disc sometime in October 2014 and had difficulty walking and experienced excruciating pain at the lower back. I saw Prof Chris Chan of UMSC and was operated in January 2015. The operation took 21/2 hours to fuse L4 and L5. During the operation my wife who was at the waiting room was kept updated on the operation and my well being through sms. I stayed at the UMSC ward for two days, and since then I am able to walk without having to look for a chair to rest, able to climb mountains and do trekking. My sincere appreciation and Thanks to Dr Chris Chan and his spine team for the professional advice and excellent work on my slipped disc. Sunny Lee Cheng Suan

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Prof. Dato' Dr. Kwan, Prof. Dr. Chris, Prof. Dr. Shahnaz, and the entire scoliosis medical team for the excellent care given to our son during his scoliosis surgery. Everyone was highly professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring. The explanations and instructions were always clear, and the surgery and recovery went smoothly. We especially appreciated that the team kept us updated throughout the surgery—it meant so much to us as parents. Our son's scoliosis has been successfully corrected, and we highly recommend this wonderful team to anyone seeking scoliosis treatment.

I am Scolisis patient since 13 yrs old. Now already 44 yrs old. Very thankful I meet Prof Kwan on Feb 2017. First doctor give me a confident and I decide doing my operation after Scolisis for more than 30 years. Prof Kwan & Prof Chris incharge of my Scolisis operation on Jun 2017. Two of them very professional and explain clearly on my case. My operation done very well and I feel very satisfied. Recover very fast. Doctor & Nurse very professional & friendly's to their patients. Now I always recommend people go to UMSC for any Scolisis case.

Prof Chris and Prof Kwan are exemplary doctors who are compassionate and professional at the same time. They and Prof Shahnaz, explained the medico-legalities of the procedure in detail, ensuring that we understood the risks and answered our questions patiently. They gave my family and I the confidence that I am in safe hands. The regular updates of the procedure from the operation theatre was a much appreciated by my family which is a much-lauded service. Special mention also goes to the team members eg. from the Neurology Unit who prepped me for the surgery. The presence of Winnie and Sister Chua made my hospital admission less daunting. The kind and caring nurses at Mawar Ward made my hospital stay pleasant. Finally, heartiest thanks to the Spine team for the hard work that you do, I am on the road to full recovery. May your work continue to touch the lives of other patients.
