    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.

    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!!!

    We were hesitant initially to have our son go through surgery for his scoliosis. After going through varying alternatives, opinions and consultations, which even private hospital surgeons themselves referred us to Prof Kwan, we were confident to go ahead with the surgery given the vast experience Prof Kwan has after much recommendations and meeting him. We were given detailed information and precise steps of the whole process from pre, during and post surgery. During the surgery, there were real time updates of each milestone hit through WhatsApp. With this awareness, it gave us some comfort. Heartfelt thanks to the great team of doctors and nurses. Prof Kwan, Prof Chris & Doctor Shahnaz your skill, professionalism and welcoming communication approach are commendable. Winnie and Sister Chua were amazing and caring in giving parents and patients support throughout. The nurses at the ward were also kind and helpful.
