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. wink.gif

Specialist specialty is to squeeze as much money before they are planted into the ground. The more you ask or tell them you read from somewhere. The more agitated they are. It's like we know their dark secrets. They only want to tell you the advantages yet you still need to sign up no matter what happens you cannot sue them. No moral, if got, Panadol cost how much, see if you ask them can discount or not?

Had the same experience as yours. But the dr that i went is from gleneagles, Dr. Lim. I never bother to go back anymore. Change to another Dr in Sunway.

This doctor is very lan si. I brought my mum to visit him around 2 weeks ago to do check up, after everything he said my mum should take antibiotic and blah blah blah, then i asked him if there is anything that can substitute the antibiotic, you all know what he replied? He said, you go invent la, if success then we all change, then i'll be billionaire, I was so f***ing angry. We are not doctor, sure will ask some stupid question, and I don't think that is a stupid question as well. As a professional, but I've no idea why he talked like gangster. His impression for me from 100% dropped to 10%, even though he is an expert in ENT.

DR Koay Cheng Boon, I think you should go back to school to learn how to talk. some more you're are a doctor. F***, if we all know the answer, you won't be there already.

I experienced the same as you from a Dr in Gleneagles. Prescribed antibiotic like nobody business. Try to shove me off as soon as possible.

I went to KPJ Kajang for ENT specialist.

I was charged rm680 for his consultation charges for 2 sessions. 1st session is open file and arrange admit hospital for diagnose (25 mins) and 2nd session is next day explaining the diagnose result and solution (25 mins)

Is this reasonable fee? Other tools and equipment charged seperately. the whole diagnose with ct scan, blood test and 1 day admission is rm2k over!

The responsibility is on the insurance to verify the doctor's report with the doctors,not reject you cos they can't read the doctor's handwriting.
I'm sure the letter has the doctor's stamp on it.

I had the same issue with my insurance,I went straight to their office and confronted them.
Finally they admitted it's their responsibility.
Sometimes those guys in the insurance are just plain lazy to do their job and hence push it back to us. ranting.gif

Hey people, can you believe that after I had gone for the sinusitis surgery and 7 to 8 times of hospital referral after the surgery, but until today, the problems of my sinusitis still remaining at least 95%...!!! Is this sound very ridiculous??

I was facing a very serious nose problem since so many years ago. One day, I found that I have had enough for this, because of my life and works were really been effected by this problem, so I decided to go to see the specialist, then I came to this so-called “ENT specialist” DR ONG CHUN CHIANG clinic.

This doctor said I got a very serious sinusitis and suggested me gone for the surgery. I was agreed. However, he never done the CT scans for me before the surgery. So without the CT scan, how can he clean up the secretions inside of my nasal cavity correctly??

A week after the surgery, I went back for hospital referral, some questions I asked and the answer was given by him were really make me frustrated, and he keep giving (actually I need to pay) me the medicine, even though I have not finished yet. Every time I went back to hospital referral, I have to pay RM180 to RM200 that was not cheap, ok??!!

When I found that was something with this so called “Specialist doctor”,  I went to see  another 2 ENT specialist doctor , after talking with them, and done the CT scans by of  them, it  made me more confident in believing that it was really something wrong with the 1st “specialist doctor”.!! I was really get shocked after seeing and listened from the doctor about my result of CT scans.

DR ONG CHUN CHIANG  : ARE YOU A REAL PROFFERSIONAL SPECIALIST DOCTOR???!!!!!

I saw Dr Ong recently for a post nasal drip that's been going on for at least a month and after a squirt of numbing spray and sticking the scope up my nose, he told me it was sinusitis and suggested a minor surgery which involve draining some abscess in my sinus and would also cost RM7-8K. I was like shakehead.gif so he prescribed a week's worth of Augmentin (antibiotic, apparently a really strong one), nasal spray and 2 weeks worth of Telfast.

Went back the following week, stuck the scope up my nose, took a look around, and again suggested surgery. Again, I was really reluctant (who's to say that it won't come back again after the surgery..., etc etc), but we kinda agreed to finish the Telfast and see how it goes from there.

I still have some mucus hanging around in my sinuses (I'm about 90% better), I admit, but I guess I'll have to wait and see how it goes.

Cost for both visits was almost RM800.

He seems like a nice guy (who's first question to me was my language preference), but I dunno if I can take an ENT who doesn't trim his own nose hair seriously... hmm.gif

Any suggestions for where I can get a second opinion? Thanks.

thank you so much for this thread. I was having severe vertigo since last 7 years and have seen numerous doctors and 3 ENTs! I was diagnosed with BPPV and Meinier's disease so I decided to get second opinion. Based on the reviews, I went and visited Dr Koay Cheng Eng at Sunway today (27/12/2016). The waiting was bearable (it was first come first serve basis), I waited 30 min (had nice breakfast downstairs).

I told him my history (was once warded for a week as I had severe vertigo when I was pregnant few years back) etc. He was very patient and thorough. Never once dismissed my questions (like whether diabetes triggered vertigo or whether special pillow etc). He checked my ears and nose and noticed that (a) my nose is very swollen and it affect the pressure to the ears (b) my ears are not that shiny, it means that not much pressure was inside.

He also said that he thinks that my vertigo is due to the less pressure to the inner ear as both my nose and ear are problematic, he sprayed some liquid inside and treated my ear (my ear was bruised as I have itchy ears and always "korek" them). he said need to see him 3-4 times to cure the itchiness. then he gave me nasal spray to ensure that the swelling continues to subside.

I broach the subject of operation but he said to try the medication first biggrin.gif

Overall it was very pleasant! can't wait to see him again next week! Not sure on the charges as I am using my company's insurance, but from the system, the amount is RM500 (not finalised yet)

yeah, he's a very nice and professional doctor, consultations fees will be lower than the first consultation but other equipment charges will more or less remain the same.

Hi,just got my body checkup report from BP ,and they detected some abnormality regarding ENT . They suggested to do a further check at specialist ,thus I wan to ask if its possible to have it checked in Gov Hospital? I know its long but since the report stated my Anti EBV-VCA 17.8 ,I believe theres no rush for it to be checked ASAP.

yes of course you can get it checked in gov hosp. But you have to obtain a referral letter from local gov klinik or GPs referral to gov hosp ENT. And no, the waiting for ENT in gov usually not very long.

Greetings all,

I'd like to know if anyone here has been to Prince Court's ENT. They have quite a handful of ENT specialist namely Dr Anura, Dr Yeo, Dr. Kuljit and Dr. Husni. Appreciate if I could have some light on any one of these doctors. Are they good? Because I'm looking to do FESS or balloon sinuplasty at PCMC, but couldn't really decide which doctor to go with.

Specialist consultant fees varies in private hospitals. It is not the consultant fees that you should care about. It is the medication and the equipment they might use to charge you
Specialist fees usually vary from 60-100

I have visited Dr Koay Cheng Eng twice. As with any experienced ENT doctors, there are no issues with regards to diagnose and prescription but in terms of ethics, I think he is a bit lacking in terms of ethics.

I have a deviated septum whereby the passageway of one of the nostrils of the nose is smaller than the other one. He suggested a surgery to correct the problem as he mentioned it is already very severe. Since I had no difficulty in breathing at all I knew this surgery is not necessary. I asked a question on whether there are side-effects of this surgery and he suddenly didn't seem interested to entertain my questions anymore and was in a hurry to get me out of the clinic so that he could attend to other patients.

Also, I noticed Dr Koay Cheng Eng likes to take not only photos but videos of his patients as he showed me many photos and one video of his patients (a teenager or in his early twenties) talking about his experience with the surgery where Dr Koay had performed on him. It may be good publicity but personally i don't quite buy into all that.

I understand that all doctors would want to earn more money by performing surgeries but this should not take precedence over proper prescription or advice, in other words based on good ethics. I would suggest exploring other ENT doctors.

that fella depends on his mood when it comes to attending his patience. Seen him quite a number of times, sometimes he's very professional and very attentive, sometimes he is sarcastic and sorta arrogant. no idea what's wit that that but as far as getting my operation done and problems treated. he's good as vouched by others.

As for your problem, deviated septum, I had mine done with Dr Khor in jln pudu. I felt fine before the surgery but he strongly suggest that I should fix it and at the same time i had a broken nose and needed fixing as well. So i thought to myself, might as well had 2 surgery done at the same time which I had read and been advised it is better to have the problem corrected.

It did make a difference after the surgery. I had this done more than 10 years ago. And btw you won't be put under for this kind of surgery. I had it done under local anesthetic and it was fairly quick.
