Strongly recommend Gynae - Dr Yega. He is a very helpful, nice & patient doctor.

In 2025, I changed my maternity doctor from a reputable private hospital due to a disappointing experience. I used to queue as early as 6:00 a.m. to avoid the long waiting times for a well-known doctor, but after hours of waiting, I found that the doctor was not barely took the time to explain things properly or speak kindly. It was quite frustrating, especially for pregnant mothers who invest so much time and effort into attending their appointments. To make matters worse, the clinic staff often appeared with attitudes and grumpy expressions, which made the overall experience even less pleasant. I then decided to try Lam Wah Ee Hospital and chose Dr. Yegappan. To my surprise, the experience was completely different. Dr. Yega is kind, caring, approachable, and professional. He takes the time to listen, explain things clearly, and ensure that his patients feel comfortable, reassured, and well cared for. Another person I would love to acknowledge is Dr. Swaran Singh, the anesthesiologist. He was truly a gem throughout my delivery experience. From the moment I met him, he made sure I felt calm, reassured, and comfortable throughout the procedure. What touched me the most was that he even offered a prayer for me before the procedure began, which brought me a great sense of peace and confidence. His kindness, compassion, and professionalism meant so much to me during such an important moment in my life. Thank you, Dr. Swaran Singh and Dr.Yegappan, for being part of my delivery journey and for supporting me every step of the way. In addition, the service at Lam Wah Ee Hospital has been excellent. The waiting time & price is reasonable, and the overall patient experience is far more comfortable and welcoming. I highly recommend Dr. Yega, Dr. Swaran Singh, and Lam Wah Ee Hospital to any expectant mother looking for quality maternity care in Penang. Their professionalism, compassion, and patient-centered approach truly make a difference. Thank you for making my delivery journey such a positive.

I’m incredibly grateful to have had Dr Yega as my O&G throughout my journey, even before pregnancy. From the very beginning, he provided exceptional care, professionalism, and genuine concern for my wellbeing. He successfully operated on and removed my endometriosis cysts, and throughout the entire process, I always felt reassured and in good hands. During my pregnancy, which became more challenging due to high blood pressure and pre-eclampsia, Dr Yega continued to go above and beyond. He monitored my condition very closely and personally ensured that both my baby and I were well taken care of. His attentiveness, dedication, and calm approach gave me so much confidence and comfort during what could have been a very stressful period. I truly appreciate the care and support Dr Yega provided at every stage of my journey. His expertise, compassion, and commitment made a huge difference in my experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better doctor. I highly recommend Dr Yega to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and trustworthy gynae.

I’m truly grateful to have had Dr Yegappan Shanmugam as my obstetrician throughout my pregnancy and delivery. From the very first visit, he was calm, patient, and reassuring. As a first-time mom at 44, I had many worries and questions, but he always took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel safe under his care. I switched to Dr Yega during my high risk pregnancy admission, and I have absolutely no regrets about that decision. It was one of the best choices I made for myself and my baby. Under his care, I felt confident, supported, and at ease. Throughout my pregnancy, he monitored my condition carefully and never made me feel rushed. During delivery, his calm presence gave me so much reassurance and strength. Beyond being a skilled and professional doctor, he felt like someone I could truly trust — almost like a friend to both me and my baby. That sense of trust meant everything to me during such an important journey. Thank you, Dr Yega, for helping me safely welcome my precious baby girl into the world. I will always be thankful for your professionalism, kindness, and dedication. I highly recommend Dr Yegappan Shanmugam to anyone looking for a patient, kind, calm and experienced obstetrician and gynaecologist. Regards, Charlene

Sincere appreciation goes to Dr. Yegappan Shanmugam (O&G) at Lam Wah Ee Hospital for the exceptional care and dedication shown throughout my pregnancy and delivery journey. From the very first consultation until childbirth, his professionalism, patience, and compassion were consistently evident. Although waiting times can sometimes be longer due to the many patients from different backgrounds who place their trust in him, the quality of attention and care provided makes every visit truly worthwhile. Dr. Yegappan Shanmugam communicates in a calm, gentle, and reassuring manner. During each scan, everything was explained clearly and thoroughly, ensuring full understanding and confidence. Even the smallest concerns were taken seriously, and he consistently checked on both physical and emotional well-being throughout the pregnancy. One of the most reassuring aspects of his care was his strong sense of responsibility. Clear guidance was given on what to look out for, including signs of false labor, and when to seek immediate medical attention. Assurance was also provided that, even if he was not physically present, the nursing team would be available to assist. That level of dedication brought tremendous peace of mind. During labor, his composed and steady presence helped ease anxiety and prevent panic. Practical advice and preparation tips were shared to support a smooth normal delivery, including exercises aimed at reducing the likelihood of procedures such as an episiotomy. His knowledge, confidence, and experience made a meaningful difference in the overall birthing experience. Deep gratitude for the outstanding care received. For anyone seeking a knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely compassionate O&G specialist at Lam Wah Ee Hospital, Dr. Yegappan Shanmugam truly stands out as one of the best gynecologists I have ever consulted.❤️
