      Eye surgery by Dr Lakana Kumar I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent care I received for my cataract removal conducted by Dr Lakana Kumar. From the very first consultation and thorough eye examination, his professionalism and patience gave me the confidence. The surgery itself was carried out with remarkable skill and precision, making the entire process smooth & reassuring. What impressed me even more is his attentive follow up and genuine concern during the recovery period. His dedication to patient care, both before & after the procedure truly reflects the qualities of an outstanding eye specialist. I would like to compliment Dr Lakana Kumar's secretary Miss Ummi Amira for her wonderful service in managing doctor's appointments. She is friendly, courteous and very helpful making the entire process smooth & pleasant. I would like to compliment the optometrist, Miss Yathavi who attended to me for eye power test. She handled her work very well, professional, attentive & friendly throughout the consultation. Her skill and confidence in conducting the test made the entire session comfortable. Lastly, I would like to compliment Sunway Medical Centre - Velocity for its efficient system and excellent coordination. From registration to check in to daycare ward and operating theater. The entire process was smooth, well-organised and professionally managed. The seamless flow and attentive staff made the whole experience reassuring & comfortable. It truly reflects a high standard of healthcare service. Keep up the excellent work!!!!

      I had a cataract surgery 3 days ago, the result is amazing. Dr. Lakana Kumar is an excellent ophthalmologist. He operated both of my eyes in one surgery. His assistant, Ummi, is also very helpful. I am grateful to have medical services at Sunway Medical Center.

      I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Dr. Lakana Kumar Thavaratnam, who performed my cataract surgery. I first got to know him through his TikTok videos, and I’m truly glad I decided to make an appointment. From the first consultation, he was very patient, knowledgeable, and professional. He explained the entire procedure clearly and answered all my questions, which made me feel confident and at ease. His care and reassurance truly made a difference in my overall experience. I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the nurses at Ward M.They treated me like a family member, always answering my questions politely and giving me a warm and comforting impression at all times. Their kindness and dedication made my stay even more pleasant. Thank you again to all.
