Hospitality : 5/5 Counter Service : 5/5 Customer Support : 5/5 Admission & Discharge : 5/5 Doctor's Specialist : 5/5 Overall I am very much satisfied with CAHIP. Unlike Tebrau one, IP has never failed to pick up my phone whenever I need to enquire about admission or appointments. I've been their patients since 2015, consulting with various doctors from gynaecologist (Dr. Rohani) to peadiatrician (Dr. Azhar) to physician (Dr. Dimitraj) to psychiatrist (Dr. Sivakumar) and each and one of them are amazing doctors. Even their Radiologist are the one who discovered that I have biconduit uterus when I come in for emergency fibroid twist removal. Very good!
