Another update revisiting KCE after 2 weeks time. Went there in the morning waited 2 hours. He used scope to check my nose and I could see my blood vessel are much expose compare to 2 weeks ago. Again in <1 min time he sprayed anesthetic into my nose then told me to wait outside for 10 mins, no questions asked. After 10 mins, he did nose cauterization again, this time to much larger area. He said it should solve the problem. "talked to my staffs outside, they will explain to you etc..." Not allowing me to ask any question as usual. Then he suggested me to do surgery. When I try to ask about the surgery, he told me to talk to his staffs outside. Oh God, we are talking about surgery and he could just delegate to his counter staffs! He then told me to follow up in 2 weeks time again.

After some research on the internet, I found out that nose cautery would take 2-6 weeks for healing. KCE just ask you to visit him every 2 weeks, not allowing your nose to completely heal, he could do nose cautery for unlimited time?! There will also be a risk of greater nose bleeding if nose cautery is repeated before the wound is completely heal. All this I am not made aware of.

My personal experience is, he spent minimum time on you, maximize his patients. I were all left in blind, everything I would have to google out myself, then what are the consultation charges for?! I would look for another doctor somewhere else.

My experience of visiting Dr Koay Cheng Eng last week (nov 2019) for nose bleeding. Made an appointment, went there in the morning, waited for about an hour before got to see him. He spent <1 min asked me just one question then did a scope follow by anesthetic spray, before I manage to ask any question, he chased me out, told me to wait outside because the anesthetic spray will take effect in about 10 mins. I waited outside his clinics and during the 10 mins, he managed to see 2 more patients. I went into the clinic again after 10 mins, he told me to sit down and immediately he did nasal cauterization to my nose. (I did not even know it was a nasal cauterization during that moment, not after I google it out after I went back). After it's done, he told me to come back in 2 weeks time. Before I have an opportunity to ask any question like what procedure did he jsut do, why did it happen, will it cure me permanently, what precautions after the procedures etc. He just kept chasing me out, "my staff outside will explain further, talk to my staff outside, see my in 2 weeks times...". when I talked to the staffs outside, (I'm not sure if they are nurses or clerks as they are not in uniform), they just couldn't explain much, couldn't answer my doubt except telling me to apply the nasal spray and cream. Total time spent maybe <5mins, damage of RM460.35.
Despite some positive comments about him in the forum, I think KCE is just impatient, not willing to explain anything at all to you, and just wanna see maximum patients in the shortest time, unless you are a potential surgery candidate.

Could any one recommend any better ENT specialist?

Check post #359 made on February 2017. Almost same experience. Post #359 below.

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.

I went for initial consultation with Dr Koay Cheng Eng due to a blocked ear. He recommended I do an audio test which showed that my hearing was perfect. During the second consultation, he mentioned that I had deviated septum which was causing the blockage in my ear and suggested to do a minor surgery. More than a week after the surgery, I developed tinnitus in one of my ears. I woke up in the middle of the nights due to the ringing in my ear and couldn’t stop crying. The ringing lasts for 24 hours and I am unable to sleep well every night. I immediately went to see Dr Koay, who was unable to explain the reason for the tinnitus and couldn’t help me. I asked him why I had this ringing in my ear which was worse than a blocked ear. He said that this ringing would follow me forever and asked me to accept it. So I have been crying everyday as I cannot accept this condition and even gave up my job. I spent a lot of time and money to see other specialist doctors. They said that this was a nerve problem due to the operation. When considering to do an operation, please seek the opinion of few doctors first. I regret to do the surgery, but I cannot change this decision anymore.

The following are some advice to prevent tinnitus, meniere's disease and even cataract.
1) Don't keep decayed food (rubbish) at home.
2) anything that will grow large amount of bacterial should throw out of house as soon as possible.
3) Dirty clothing need to wash immediately, don't accumulate inside house few days.
4) Make sure the toilet bowl always has water in it, if the water dry out (log time no pump water), the gas and bacterial from sewage pipe will enter into the room.
5) Carpet (if any) need to be vacuum every day, if carpet dirty it will grow large amount of bacterial.

Large amount of bacterial floating in air in the living room, sleeping room will cause sinus infection.
Sinus infection will make your ears feel blockage (one or both), prolonged sinus infection will causes meniere's disease and tinnitus.
....and even cataract.
Note: the above is what I believe to be true, no source of information (no link to some onlne article) provided.


addition: This one I watch in some TV programe:
It say avoid eating full full before sleep,
because stomach too full will cause stomach acid flow out and into the nose and ear area and this will cause ears feel blockage and meniere's disease and tinnitus too.

After reading all the comments from the start, I decided to go for Dr Megat Shiraz at Columbia Asia Hospital, Puchong.

Done
1. Septoplasty due to deviated septum
2. Partial endoscopic turbinectomy
cost about RM13k all in (company insurance covered, i only topup rm6 registration + rm300 covid rt-pcr test). Not bad and not too expensive i think.

Surgery done Wed (27/1/21) afternoon > wake up on the evening after general anesthesia with full of nasal pack inside both nose, only can breath with mouth and pressure with the ear.
Not more than 20 hours.. the next day 8.30am remove the nasal pack already, monitoring, and discharged Fri (29/1/21) afternoon. Total 3 days hospitalised. I experienced panic only in Day 1 coz of incapable to breath since nose packed (I have anxiety). The rest is fine only sleep eat wakeup. Overall its good experience. Now in the midst of recovery.

I very very recommend Dr Megat. A super humble, respectful, experienced, skilled ENT doctor. Well explained and understand patient situation entirely not in ENT scope only. Even after the surgery and at home you can still text him to ask anything. He'll entertain no matter who you are, how long or how many you want to ask and correctly answer in detail. He'll explain all the risk involved. I praised him best doc I ever met so far. Even the nurses there agreed with this. All this while been to P*nt*i, K*J, hospitalized and discharge not even clear explanation what went wrong. Felt like really being served to settle my problem rather wanting money here. Touch wood.

If you're living nearby Puchong, i will highly recommend Dr Megat at Columbia Hospital at Bandar Puteri, Puchong Jaya.

What i like about him is that he's patient, takes time to explain to answer your questions and does a great job. I've seen him twice for ear wax (one out of two times, i had impacted ear wax) removal.

I didnt read this post earlier sweat.gif I just had my FESS (i assume) surgery done from Dr. Gan Tong Nee Sunway.
I dont think the problem is fixed at all sad.gif I should have read this and went for second opinion.
He seems confident tho, telling me can fix the problem tru surgery and only 10% come back possibility. So i opt for surgery. ingat fix fast and once and for all.
IF he recommend another round of surgery i think ill be in trauma, yea the nose pack is really quite unbearable. cry.gif
I slept whole night sitting upwards lol
Tmr ill meet him again for checkup, then probably i can come to some sort of conclusion :/

Did Dr.Megat fix your deviated septum problem? is it fixed now?
He would be a good choice for me

Anyone looking for ENT Doctor ? I can recommend Dr Loo from Parkcity Medical Centre.

Dr Loo

He is very helpful and has a joyful character. He makes u feel at ease before starting of any consultation.

I had a bad case of sinus that cause the infection to go haywire in my body and i was having similar symptom as dengue.

Upon admittance they did further test and concluded that it comes from my sinusitis.

So i had Dr Loo assigned as my Doctor and i was very happy and satisfied. Its been more than 5 years now and i'm happy to see he is still in PMC.

I didn't have any major surgery but i was warded and put under his care for a week and he did scope with me for a few times.

I have frequent flu attack and sneeze continuously.
Consulted Dr. Koey diagnosed Septum Deviation and proposed to go for Septoplasty.

2nd opinion with a ENT doctor in Sime Darby who are famous in google good reviews, Dr. Sushil who given different opinion to go for laser the swollen nasal and it will not cure. Advised that the attack will still come back to me.

Now in dilemma and thought of going for the 3rd opinion.
Anyone tried consult Doctor in UM?

Anyone has done any surgery to reduce snoring? I went to UiTM Private Specialist Center and the doc asked me to do operation like tinggikan langit mulut, remove tonsil and reduce the bengkak in saluran hidung.

I plan to seek 2nd opinion by going to KPJ Damansara. Greatly appreciate if someone can recommend their experience in operation to reduce snoring or any doctor/hospital.

I live in Kota Damansara.

Just walk into the the ENT department in UM/UMMC before 11 a.m.. Morning session is for walk ins, afternoon are for appointments.

First visit not that expensive, about RM30? Subsequent visit is like RM15, IIRC - not including the medication they may or may not prescribe

Would like to check the latest information on good ENT specialists that not only give good advice ie. only suggesting or recommending surgery when necessary, successful operation without any serious follow-up complications etc. with reasonable consultation fees.

From the search on the internet, there are a few but so far I've shortlisted 2 based on this link: https://www.24local.com.my/ent-specialist-malaysia/

1. Dr. James Kok Adult and Child ENT Clinic Damansara
2. Datuk Sushil ENT Specialist

Based on my previous encounter with other ENT specialist mainly consultation, I do not recommend Dr Koay Eng Cheng of Sunway Medical centre.
Dr Chang Chew Ming of Assunta hospital, I consulted him for my ear which is a minor problem, no issues. No issue with Dr Dr. Muthu Kumar Murugesan and Dr Arvin Balachandran of Bukit Tinggi Medical Centre too for minor checkup and cleaning of the ears.

This time it is more major which may require surgery to correct a deviated septum. Has anyone got any experience with the above 2 ENT specialists? Or any other good encounters? I would appreciate some advice.
