Fortunate and unfortunately, my mum and my 2 uncle suffered some medical issue on their back and knees recently. By God grace we were referred by friend to Professor Kwan, Professor Dharmendra and his team. The team had then worked closely on our cases, gave us very detailed, genuine and profound advice and soon my mum and my uncle's conditions were treated and now they are all recovering well. We are very grateful to Professor Kwan, Professor Dharmendra and their team who worked tirelessly, professionally and with all their hearts in serving the people and helping the patients. We also had a great experience during the stay in the hospital, the staff are friendly and helpful. I would say everything is well taken care off. We all pray and hope we live a healthy life but life is not always sailing smooth and I know the doctor here are for the people with a sacrificial heart. Thank you.

Specialist were very good no doubt (Dato Goh, Prof Darmendra, Prof Ida and Prof Firdaus) Staffs were good except the Male caterer and neuro lab Male staff (in ward and neuro lab)should ask permission to get in due to women aurat. Admission took very long(4h) but has pre admission longue to chill out watching tv series. Umsc website is the best,better than any other private hospitals .Very easy to book appoinment and see doctors' slot availability .Kudos. Overall satisfied with the service.
