How was your condition after the operation, is it any better? Can you share with me your experience with Dr Raymond Tan, apart from his expensive fee?

Recently had been diagnosed with low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma of salivary gland.

Went through 5 different ENT specialists. Following are my personal opinions which should not be served as any guidelines:

1st doctor: "Let me google for you which part should you perform the ct scan" (geez...)
2nd doctor: "Explained extensively and ended the conversation with a question - do you have medical card" (yeah right...)
3rd doctor: "From my expertise this doesn't look like cancer' (okay...)
4th doctor: "While checking the lumps, he was talking on the phone and mentioned to one of his friends that "geez, cancer is very hard to cure I prefer not to get on those cases" (smart doctor..eh?)
5th doctor: Soft spoken, very professional with 3 nurses at the front desk and another nurse inside the room. He showed me all the cases he had handled before and explained to me case by case what happened thereafter. He is always sitting up straight unlike 4th/2nd/1st doctors.


5th doctor: Dr Koay Cheng Eng from Sunway Medical Centre.

All doctors are from Central Malaysia.

This is the 3rd week post-surgery and the wound recovered very well.

From what u described about the fifth doctor i knew straight away it's Dr kce

just did a quick google of the "legal" problems of dr koay cheng boon
really laughable.
macam gray's anatomy drama

talking about cam scope
is it normal for doc to scope a patient in the nose & throat then proceed to scope another patient without changing or sanitizing anything?

are you sure? that's really disgusting.

that is freaking disgusting. you can lodge a report on that fella

Guys a quick one, today i went to Subang Medical Center to let Dr John Tan consulting me. after diagnosis and checking up with everything he given me some med to try it out for 2 weeks and he said to get back to him two weeks later for checking and i was charged RM570++.

i am wondering now if i visit him 2 weeks later to check on my status again am i going to back another consultation fee again? can anyone enlighten me here?

and for people that have medical card, do you guys claim insurance for this? or just pay out of your own pocket, sorry for noob question because this is first time in my life meeting up with specialist doctor.

Every time you see the specialist,you'll have to pay the consultation fees ( this is excluding the medicine,should he prescribe you some)

As for the insurance claim.I think most insurance would required you to be hospitalised for at least one night before you can make a claim.
You need to check specifically with your insurance about their claim procedure.You have to follow it strictly otherwise it will be rejected.

When you buy insurance,all you need to do is sign the dotted line and pay the premium(it's that simple they say),but when you make a claim.......they'll go thru' everything with a fine tooth comb.

Thank for the info, wow that is quite a fee to pay if i were have to visit them every few weeks. while writing above thread i was studying my insurance policy and i come to the page they mention any consultation and diagnosis for the sake of checking will not entitle to claim unless serious injure , i guess i have no luck

I know a guy who is stuck in Sunway medical now. Had dengue, but no money. Hospital ask to pay 12k for hospitalization. Ask insurance already. They ask him to wait 3 months.

Now hospital says pay monthly for 3 months. But still cost over 3ks. Anyone knows anyone who have a higher bill than his?

I don't understand,wait 3months for what? you mean the insurance ask him to wait 3months.

Yes the claim will take 3 months for approval.

No idea. Will update once I got more info. But as I checked on the net it doesn't cost more than rm 2k. I think its cut throat. Luckily for me, my insurance paid everything and add ang pow Rm300 per night from the 3rd night.

Anyone here know about sunway medical's treatment cost????

This one I found on another website.
Dengue Fever: Had I been overcharged from unethical hospital?
I have a worker who was recently infected by dengue fever and I had him sent to hospital on 30/5/2015 at 7.35 pm. When I returned the next day at 10am. they told me I had been charged RM$800. I was shocked because before that the worker told me he felt better and was able to walk more than 1km before he going in.

not only ENT,but generally almost all doctors are like that.
The patient is already not feeling well,the least they do is to show some compassion.
