Borrow this thread.

I'm looking for a good ENT specialist too, one that is particularly good with nose(olfactory) problems. I have totally lost my sense of smell.

Go to Sunway Medical Center


Look for Dr. Koay Cheng Boon. He is good.

Sime Darby Medical Center is expensive and doesn't check as thoroughly as Sunway Medical Center

I think its 1st floor.

List of EnT Doctor @ Sunway Medical Center

I go to Dr Gan at Sunway Medical. His room is right next to Dr. Koay, but strangely though, more patients opt for him. But he's one good ENT specialist.

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.

Yes, you are right Dr. Koay is very very lan si. i brought my 3- year- old son to see him few times, the last one was few weeks back. He was unhappy when i asked him is there any alternative other than antibiotic , he replied
" if you come to see me you must trust me and just take the medicine, who say antibiotic is no good! in fact, nowadays
because of the present of antibiotic, human life become longer....... "
He don't like to discuss with you the medication prescribed, oppose to Western doctors that always encourage patient
to actively discuss with Dr.

In the middle of the course of medication, my son's condition getting worse and again went to se him.
His reply " just 2 days only, go back and see 2 more days, if not ok come to see me again" and i was charged Rm60 +15 without any medication.
For a professional with ethics, for sure he will prescribe something such as antibiotics as standby in case 2 days later need it not simply collect $ only .

i personally found Prof. Dr. Vincent Tan is good. He is soft-speaking kind of doctor that willing to discuss approach and type medication with patient. His web site : http://entheadandneckspecialist.com

You can try my ex-schoolmate, Dr Chang Chew Ming in Pantai Bangsar.
Usually has a clinic in the morning and operates afternoons.

He was also attached to Assunta on certain days, but I am not sure
of his schedule now.

Dr Tan Lye Suan, lady doctor, on the second floor of the same medical
center is also not bad.

I just visited Dr Chang this afternoon in Pantai Bangsar. Made a phone call to check and made sure he was in before I went over.
He is a good listener and very good patience.

Total bill was RM180 for consultation + meds.

is this doc ok? how old is he? experienced doc? how much did u pay for the surgery?

Hi, not sure is my personal body problem, my sinus issues came back after 2-3 months.
Currently condition just like never did the surgery before...

I did this surgery twice.
1st time Normal FESS, after 1 month sinus problem came back
went for CT scan again, found a lot scar tissues building up, so he suggested for another round of surgery to remove scar tissues
did 2nd times, after 1 month still having same issue.
then he just gave me some antibiotic everytime i see him and he wanna suggest for Balloon Sinuplasty which cost 12K+ which i rejected and never go back again.

1st - RM8K+
2nd - RM6K+

all covered by corporate insurance.

So now i still looking for other solution....

any one have any suggestion?

According to foursquare's page , the address is, 1 Puchong, Puchong, Selangor Darul Ehsan 47160

One of my client was diagnosed with mine re (ear imbalance) and causes vertigo once in a while. She consulted Dr Raymond at Lam Wah Yee Penang Hospital. She only needs to take the medication whenever she has vertigo. However Dr Raymond had left for another hospital, if not mistaken Adventist.

Since her condition is mild, her application for a medical card (after 3 months) was approved with condition. Deafness or treatment for ear imbalance will be decline as it falls under pre-existing illness.

I agree with you too. About 2 hours I was there to take my mum for a check up. While he was checking my mum, he enquired about my thyroid and i told him that i saw another Dr and nevertheless was it ok for him to check me after my mum. For that he gave me a long and serious lecture on being considerate about people. He asked "would you like if others make you wait for so long?" "Why is it that you are not considerate?" Then he repeatedly asked me nearly 4 times - "are you considerate? " and I got really irritated. I then told him, if you are considerate, you would not make all patients wait for so long! He operates from 8.45am - 1.15pm and in that 4 1/2 hours he sees 25 patients - and each person waits about 30 mins - 1 hour! My appointment was at 12.20pm, I was there by 11.45am and waited till 1.15pm before I was attended to!

Gov specialists are good you know but, I DO NOT GO to Government hospitals because I HATE WAITING, but here, I was waiting for 1 hour and pay much more! And on top of that lectured unncessarily! I will never go back to him anymore.

Do you know which ENT doctor in Penang is good and hopefully friendly? Adventist is good?

Generally most of the specialists hospitals are (pretty expensive).

Out of the many specialists hospital in Penang, Lam Wah is the most affordable as they're non-profit. The ENT Doctors are (is from their website).

Ear, Nose and Throat Surgeons :
Dr Ng Hee Hua (MBBS, FRCS, MS ENT)
Dr Gopalan Nair (AM, MD, MS ORL-HNS)

Note: This is generally covered under you medical card provided that your medical card has surpassed the 4 months waiting period for "specified illness" and that it does not fall under "pre-existing condition".

To be sure, please get in touch with your insurance agent.

He is very egoistic but I gotta say, he knows his stuff.
I used to be his patient for years cuz of my sinus and I had 2 operations done by hm. One to remove my sinus cuz it was causing me a lot of problems like sickness and stuff and the other to chisel my nose as the pathway collapsed due to getting hit at the right angle and sufficient force to break it. Best parties, he didn't even put me to sleep cuz my resisttance to anesthetic is rather high but he did put anesthetic to umb my nose before chiseling away and I felt awesome after the op was completed.

It was done the second time because some subpar ent from assunta performed a pathetic operation on my nose and it collapsed again.

I recommend both dr khor and dr koay from sunway, my current ent doctor but bear in mind he's also arrogant and does not explain much.

Dr koay costs more and best u make appointment before visiting his clinic

I had relatives who underwent surgery from dr khor and it seems fine.

Dr khor is definitely cheaper but if money is not a problem to you, go for dr koay from sunway, if u want a better in terms of attitue or humble doctor, go for dr koay from sunway's brother who is also an ENT in gleneagle. More costly of course

My cough already about 1 month but cant recover especially midnight & so go to seek for specialist.

I felt his explaination quite ok but the fee really DAMN Expensive!!

RM125 - consultation fee ( as the Nurse told )
RM130 - spray & put 1 instrument inside my nose to check
RM75 - medicine
So total RM330, i thought medical center only will charge high.
Luckily i bring enough money because there only can pay cash.

Suddenly felt @_@ cause unexpected so high of charges even jz a small upstair clinic...hope the medicine really can cure my problems.

Dr Koay Cheng Eng (the brother of the much-mentioned Dr Koay Cheng Boon) is very good. He is soft-spoken and has a lot of empathy. By the sounds of it after reading of others' experience with Dr Koay Cheng Boon, he's very different from his brother.

Dr Koay Cheng Eng now operates out of Sunway Medical Centre, no longer out of Gleneagles. (Dr Koay Cheng Boon seems to have run into some... "legal problems" so Dr Koay Cheng Eng has taken over his brother's clinic there.) Dr Koay Cheng Eng has solved sinus problems for so many of my family members. Be prepared to wait a while to get to your turn to see him though, he's very popular.

Why do you see an ENT specialist if you are coughing.

Shouldn't you see a chest specialist?

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.

To those who have been using such strong and unsavoury words be mindful that you can be sued for libel and defamation. Under the new
Act which was passed in parliament recently you may find yourself (and the web administrator too) in a situation that you hoped you have not
posted such remarks in the first place.

No matter how much you hated the person, more so he is a professional, character assassination and slandering another in the open and being
sued and found guilty of the act is a painful and costly affair. As a professional he can demand a hefty compensation if you lose the case, which is very
likely the way you made the posting.

If you do are unhappy with his professional conduct, you may refer him to the Malaysian Medical Council. Do not take matters into you own hands
and make such slandering remarks in forum like this. You will regret it.

everytime i go there sure use the scope which costs a bomb for nothing cuz few years back in my blood test they detected something that indicates cancer cells in my nose and from then on QCB kept using the scope to check if there's any tumors growing.

it isn't necessary anymore çuz it costs like 80 bucks or so each time sad.gif

I was charged 60 for the scope procedure + 10 for equipment usage. And yea, it depends on the sickness. More procedures might be needed for certain sickness. Some might need different medications too, which the cost varies.

Just to share my case.

I have sinus problem since years back and getting worst day by day with included Nasal discharge backflow into throat and coughing non stop.

Went to Dr Gan Tong Nee@Sunmed, tried few types of sprays(Mar, Afrin, Nasonex) and it wont helps and he decided to do FESS(8k+) on me.
Did First time, after few weeks my problem and my problem back again.
Did CT scan, found that got infection and mucal tissues building up, and he did second time of FESS(7K+) on me.
Problem came back after few weeks again, this time he gave me antibiotics and ask me consider for Balloon sinuplasty which costing 12K++.
I keep telling him my throat is not feeling well but he just ignore it and keep focus on my nasal part.
I then gave up on him and stop visiting.

My backflow and coughing continues for next few months until my GP doc told me to try Dr Megat@ColumbiaAsia Puchong.
Dr Megat did some basic checks on my nasal and my throat and shown me some of the images.
The sinus points is good condition which thanks to FESS, no infections, no blockage except one side of it kinda narrow.

He gave me tried Nasacort & Nasonex but the result is not good too and he found my coughing problem was due to acid reflux.
Dr Megat refer me to Dr Jurina(Physician) to get second opinions.

Dr Jurina really damn good and she sent me to do few test and confirmed my problem was due to acid reflux.
She gave me controloc and few other medicine which I can feel the different after that but she told me that I need to control my stress level too which it did contribute to this problem.
Last few weeks, my problem getting serious, and she put me into ward.
She get Dr Yong Chun Woon to do stomach scoping to make sure everything is ok.
She get Dr Megat to continue treat my nasal part.
She put controloc into my body for 48 hours.

after 3D2N of treatment(7K++ included 3 specialist charges), now I feel better and my coughing is fixed!
and now I know what is the real problem.
Nasal discharge backflow can't be fix easily, that will need to depends on environment, weather but I'm a lot better now.
Acid reflux, Now I know how to handle it properly.

But once I over ate too much, then I can feel the relux again...LOL

Just to share my experiences , in case anyone of you having same problem as mine.
Hope everyone stay healthy smile.gif

Are all these treatments covered by medical insurance?

With Dr Gan Tong Nee, RM8k + 7k + 12k = RM27k+

With Dr Megat, Dr Jurina, Dr Yong Chun Woon = RM7k+

Altogether RM35k+. Quite a hefty sum there.

Okay, good to know. Well, if your company doesn't have medical insurance policy for employees, or the lack of it, you can always use your own medical coverage either to cover or top up on the maximum amount that has been used up by the company's insurance(say the maximum cap of the company's medical insurance is up to RM100k, and you are claiming RM130k. Your own medical insurance will top up the RM30k).

If without medical insurance coverage, one will have no choice but to use up his/her own savings account to pay for the medical expenses. Specialist treatments are not cheap, so insurance is usually useful to cater for some of these unforeseen treatments that may be required in future.

Hi Cedriccheah,

I saw your post and your experience on the FESS and its complications after that. I went to Dr. Gan also recently, in fact, just last week, when my nose was bleeding for about a month and did not heal after seeing a GP, so I went to Dr. Gan in Sunway. Went for a follow up this week with Dr. Gan, the bleeding was healed and he asked me if i want to do a full Sinus Scan to see if my Sinus is ok...

So I agreed since I always have this sinus problems with my sensitive nose and i thought it would be good also to find out.

Scan was alright as there was no tumour or something like that, but bad news was my sinus was clogged/narrow and I had quite a big POLYPS on my right side of my sinus. So, to make the story short, Dr. Gan advised me to go for FESS (Functional endoscopic sinus surgery) to take out the Polyps and also to test and see if the polyps type, worry it is Iverted Papilloma which may cause cancer in the future.

My question is, since you have experience on the FESS and had complications, I was worried also. I do not mind going for FESS if that will solve some issues, but do you think I should check with Columbia hospital before going for the FESS? What should I check with Columbia?

Most importantly, how are you feeling right now after all the hassle with FESS (2 times) and 3 Specialist in Columbia? Do you feel totally alright now or any complications still now?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Well, if your company doesn't have medical insurance policy for employees, or the lack of it, you can always use your own medical coverage either to cover or top up on the maximum amount that has been used up by the company's insurance(say the maximum cap of the company's medical insurance is up to RM100k, and you are claiming RM130k. Your own medical insurance will top up the RM30k).

If without medical insurance coverage, one will have no choice but to use up his/her own savings account to pay for the medical expenses. Specialist treatments are not cheap, so insurance is usually useful to cater for some of these unforeseen treatments that may be required in future.

Yeah, that's why now still unable to leave this company because they medical coverage is good and with ING. But worry about AIA coverage if they changing soon..LOL
But that is good info for others smile.gif

Hi Cedriccheah,

I saw your post and your experience on the FESS and its complications after that. I went to Dr. Gan also recently, in fact, just last week, when my nose was bleeding for about a month and did not heal after seeing a GP, so I went to Dr. Gan in Sunway. Went for a follow up this week with Dr. Gan, the bleeding was healed and he asked me if i want to do a full Sinus Scan to see if my Sinus is ok...

So I agreed since I always have this sinus problems with my sensitive nose and i thought it would be good also to find out.

Scan was alright as there was no tumour or something like that, but bad news was my sinus was clogged/narrow and I had quite a big POLYPS on my right side of my sinus. So, to make the story short, Dr. Gan advised me to go for FESS (Functional endoscopic sinus surgery) to take out the Polyps and also to test and see if the polyps type, worry it is Iverted Papilloma which may cause cancer in the future.

My question is, since you have experience on the FESS and had complications, I was worried also. I do not mind going for FESS if that will solve some issues, but do you think I should check with Columbia hospital before going for the FESS? What should I check with Columbia?

Most importantly, how are you feeling right now after all the hassle with FESS (2 times) and 3 Specialist in Columbia? Do you feel totally alright now or any complications still now?

Hope to hear from you soon.

That's what I never did in the past.
For my opinion, we should always consider for 2nd opinions from another specialist.
If your medical coverage by company, I don't see any problem if you go get Dr Megat's advice and then decide on that.
The things Dr Gan told you almost same like what he told me...wonder if that is his regular advice for this problem..

Hope you recover soon smile.gif

I had POLYPS 2 months back and in between of my nose and cheek was hurting very badly and one of my eyes too till i had to close the eye to lessen the pain. it was swelling hence it blocked my nostrils too

I did not have surgery but instead I took an injection and meds to lessen the swelling. From what I've learned it is not necessary to remove it unless it occurs too frequently.

Cedriccheah,

Thanks for your opinion. Can tell more about your condition now after all the trouble?? Permanently better?

Also, Dr. Gan told me to go for the surgery because also to see if the Polyps is Inverted Papilloma type...which he said usually turns into cancerous...and said cannot do just biopsy to test without the FESS...(wondering if that is entirely true). Will go for 2nd opinion....

ExCrIpT,

Thanks for your opinion too.

Sorry, i tried to 'Quote' but didn't work on my browser...

Dr Khor and Dr koay, they're different doctors and i recommend both of them.

Dr Khor has his own clinic at jln pudu nearby tung shin and i had 2 operations done by him and it costs alot cheaper compared to dr koay, maybe due to the fact he has his own clinic instead of leasing from an expensive hospital. Read my posts earlier on my experience on failed operation from assunta.

Dr Koay is from Sunway hospital, fees are expensive but not as ridiculous as Pantai. meds costs more than Dr Khor too. hospital rates

Dr Khor contact number 0320783055

of course he accepts medical card but it also depends on the illnesses.

been to dr.koay when was 15, instead of treating my nose, i got my onsil removed, no doubt he's a friendly doctor, but think back like suddenly my parents fork out thousand just to remove something(nothing?)....now scare to go private sector...cos i know anything they wanna cut u open.

That depends, I too had my sinus removed but I had to as it was giving me alot of problems. At first Dr.Khor suggested that i should remove it and the problems will be gone and i refused as I am afraid of operation. Nearly every 2 months I had to visit the ENT due to various problems and in the end I gave in and had my sinus removed. Heck, I have never felt better and all the problems were gone for a couple of years. Dr Khor performed the operation on me and his fees were very reasonable like 2k-2.5 only.

If it were done by dr koay, it will cost alot more.

the 2k-2.5k that was paid for the operation was worth it as i saved on the amount of times i have to visit the ENT to get myself treatment and the time wasted on travelling.

I would suggest Dr Khor as the price is not expensive at all for an ENT and he is good.

Dr Khor the BEST if you ask me! My whole family being his patient for years. He just plain straight "tell you straight in your face the issue and problem (no sweet talking or sugar coat even terminal case)"
i always get lecture by him > windows close >poor room ventilation> go swimming> always on Air cond but he friendly after all.

Fr me when the sinus is inflammed, mucus will start running down my nose on stop and all kind of funny sickness appears out of no where. I remembered the last problem i had before agreeing to remove the sinus was, I woke up from sleep cuz I felt a sharp pain on my eardrum but when I sit up straight the pain is gone but when I try to lie down the pain came back again. Had to go through the entire night sitting up straight till his clinic opens and that was a torture

They like to explain things to patients. And the specialist there are good. theyre good doctors, and good teachers.

Hi is me ! I am back !
Let me describe my situation first.
I was wearing tracheostomy(google plz) for more than one year. This stuff actually i dun know what its main purpose. But normally, patient will take out this 3 months after operation. ( I had my head operation in JBGH)
In my case, i was failed to wear off this tracheostomy. Once I take it out, i was unable to breath rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

OK, since Dr in GH also dun know wat problem is, my dad decide to seek consultation in Pantai Melaka.
I strongly recommend this Dr (Dr. Ilangovan Lakshmanan) . He is a nice man and most important is his consultation fee is extremely cheap !!! Scope procedure + medicine only RM85!!! But very sad, he is no experience in this kind of operation. So he refer me to another Dr in Pantai KL

Well, this dr is able to do my case. He told me that only few Drs are experience in this such operation.
The estimate cost is RM50K shocking.gif shocking.gif shocking.gif
OK, no choice. I trust his saying" ei, bukan semua dr tau buat operation macam ini"
Operation will be do 1 weeks later.

1 day before I masuk Wad, his nurse called me and told me need to postpone the operation until further notice because dr's bro passed away in foreign country.

3 weeks passed, still no news fr hospital. My dad start to feel "pekcek" ady. Both of us keep calling Pantai, but the answer we get always "dr akan balik esok / dr akan masuk minggu depan " WTF
But something i need to say is pantai charged extremely high. consultation + MRI = 500+850

My dad and I feel dissapointed and very angry also. We decide to find another dr.
So i start searching info here and there, and finally i get over here.
Many LYN member introduce DrKxxx.
So I went for a try 2 weeks b4 CNY

Another nightmare began.
After he looked at my MRI, he told me that he cant do this operation too. I am prepared with this answer bcuz i still believe what the previous dr told me " ei, bukan semua dr tau buat operation macam ini" biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
The more terrible is he asked me better stay steady with the tracheostomy. Means the he asked not to do anything with that stuff. Just wear it WHOLE LIFE !! WTF, I am jz 20!!! He keep talking some evidence to make me trust him like "even in US also few dr in experience in this" , "after u take out the tracheostomy u might unable to voice" , "the operation always need to few times, each times with50~60K, finally u will bankcrupt but problem cant solved" LOL. That time, i really scared. Tears in eyes . haha
But luckily he introduced me Prof Sani of UKMSC.

He is nice and humour, willing to explain a lot to patient, u will very relax while talking with him.
After doing scope procedure, I take out the MRI report to him. He told me this report is useless lah, he even didn't look 1 eye at the report ( WTF wat a waste with RM850 !!!)
He keep telling me my case is a small operation even his master student could handle it by laser. Not enuf 10 mins, he already arranged the time for operation. Finally my operation done last monday.

As mentioned above, the estimated cost is 50K right?
But i only spent RM 4200 in UKMSC !!! WTF

The room rates also cheaper thn other private. Only RM165 for single room !!! air-cond and TV ready. Shared bathroom. SO i suggest that next time should go to hospital like UKMSC/UMSC because there are equiped with modern apparatus thumbup.gif thumbup.gif


Finally finish my long long story with my poor poor english.
This jz a sharing, doesn't mean to defame /criticize any doctor/ hospital.

Dr Khor the BEST if you ask me! My whole family being his patient for years. He just plain straight "tell you straight in your face the issue and problem (no sweet talking or sugar coat even terminal case)"
i always get lecture by him > windows close >poor room ventilation> go swimming> always on Air cond but he friendly after all.

Just wander whether anyone here knows. For lisp treatment (Pronunciation issue in 'S', 'X', 'T',etc), does ENT or dentist can help me on this?
Around how much is the fee? Any good recommendation in KL?

I have issue with pronunciation since childhood (nt sure the what is the problem) and would like to seek some consultation.
Really appreciate you guys to share some experience or thoughts here.

I hope to fix it. blush.gif

Ppl don't get hospitalized due to taking some pain killers or antibiotics and no antibiotics will cause someone to be hospitalized unless
1. You are allergic to the meds which no doctors in the world will know unless the symptoms appear.
2. You overdose urself accidentally or intentionally (pick one)


Ppl ain't stupid to believe that a doctor will risk his license just to kill you by simply prescribing dangerous drugs that harms ppl so my guess is u have a grudge against him.

If its so severe, tonsillectomy is a very common procedure and yet u didn't even choose that to get rid of the problem.

Don't try to defame someone for no apparent reason dude

Hi is me ! I am back !
Let me describe my situation first.
I was wearing tracheostomy(google plz) for more than one year. This stuff actually i dun know what its main purpose. But normally, patient will take out this 3 months after operation. ( I had my head operation in JBGH)
In my case, i was failed to wear off this tracheostomy. Once I take it out, i was unable to breath rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif

OK, since Dr in GH also dun know wat problem is, my dad decide to seek consultation in Pantai Melaka.
I strongly recommend this Dr (Dr. Ilangovan Lakshmanan) . He is a nice man and most important is his consultation fee is extremely cheap !!! Scope procedure + medicine only RM85!!! But very sad, he is no experience in this kind of operation. So he refer me to another Dr in Pantai KL

Well, this dr is able to do my case. He told me that only few Drs are experience in this such operation.
The estimate cost is RM50K  shocking.gif  shocking.gif  shocking.gif
OK, no choice. I trust his saying" ei, bukan semua dr tau buat operation macam ini"
Operation will be do 1 weeks later.

1 day before I masuk Wad, his nurse called me and told me need to postpone the operation until further notice because dr's bro passed away in foreign country.

3 weeks passed, still no news fr hospital. My dad start to feel "pekcek" ady. Both of us keep calling Pantai, but the answer we get always "dr akan balik esok / dr akan masuk minggu depan " WTF
But something i need to say is pantai charged extremely high. consultation + MRI = 500+850

My dad and I feel dissapointed and very angry also. We decide to find another dr.
So i start searching info here and there, and finally i get over here.
Many LYN member introduce DrKxxx.
So I went for a try 2 weeks b4 CNY

Another nightmare began.
After he looked at my MRI, he told me that he cant do this operation too. I am prepared with this answer bcuz i still believe what the previous dr told me " ei, bukan semua dr tau buat operation macam ini"  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif
The more terrible is he asked me better stay steady with the tracheostomy. Means the he asked not to do anything with that stuff. Just wear it WHOLE LIFE !! WTF, I am jz 20!!! He keep talking some evidence to make me trust him like "even in US also few dr in experience in this" , "after u take out the tracheostomy u might unable to voice" , "the operation always need to few times, each times with50~60K, finally u will bankcrupt but problem cant solved" LOL. That time, i really scared. Tears in eyes . haha
But luckily he introduced me Prof Sani of UKMSC.

I strooooooooongly recommend Prof Sani.
He is nice and humour, willing to explain a lot to patient, u will very relax while talking with him.
After doing scope procedure, I take out the MRI report to him. He told me this report is useless lah, he even didn't look 1 eye at the report ( WTF wat a waste with RM850 !!!)

Brought my 17 wk pregnant wife to see mr Gan tong née at Sunway hospital. She is suffering daily headache and sinus pain.

During the first visit she was given antibiotics and some nasal spray for a week as he said that there are some sinus infection. During that week, she was fine for about 3 days and then all the symptoms came back. After a week, brought her back to mr Gan tong née again as she is still having the same issue. He then gave her Rhinocort Aqua nasal spray and ask her to use daily for two weeks. Today as I'm writing this, she is on that nasal spray for 1 week now and she is still suffering from headache and sinus pain.

Overall mr gan tong nee is a friendly and nice doctor but am not sure about his treatment. From what i read above, it seems that he likes to recommend his patients to do operation and at most time from what i read above, doesn't treat the problem.

sigh.... Heart Pain, seeing my wife still suffering everyday. I tried all sorts of other remedies, bought a sharp plasmacluster ion generator, using tea tree oil, switch off air conditioner, humidify that room and still no cure or relief. Sigh...She is now trying to use probiotics in her neti pot as well. 2 days now... Hope this remedies recommended by some sufferer online will cure her.. Might bring her to seek for second opinion if she doesn't feel better in the next few days... Maybe will try dr Khor at Jalan Pudu..

I have spent over 10K with Dr Gan and my problem not fixed.
Try to look for Dr Megat@ColumbiaAsia Puchong. He is far better than Dr Gan for my case.

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.

I brought my wife to see Dr Khor at Jalan Pudu, last Friday. It was quite expensive as well. I paid lesser at Sunway Medical Center with branded medication.

Dr Khor gave my wife some unknown drops and some cream in his own packaging. No idea what medication he gave to my pregnant wife. He did a normal scope into her nose as well and got lectured for about 15 minutes. All these comes to RM 218!

Upon registration, the receptionist asked which Chinese ancestry my wife belongs to and what is she working as. I felt weird at the beginning as I wondered why they needed such details. I don't quite like the receptionist attitude. Reminds me of some fierce teachers in those government school. Actually Dr Khor as well. He shows some kind of impatiences when you ask him more questions.

During examination, he insisted that my wife's problem is with what she is doing, which is online clothes reseller (At this time I realised why he wants to record what my wife's job is). He said that all new cloths contains allergens that is triggering her sinus problem. I'm not really sure if this is the case or not as she is not stocking a lot of the clothes at home and only once a week she will be handling the clothes and furthermore, she handles less than 10 pieces of the clothes. Hmm, if really this is the cause, she can't be walking into shopping mall already. I still feel sceptical on his claims but he is not a person that you could really voice your opinion to, so I just agree to what he say and hopefully his treatment works. He has also suggested us to open all the windows in the house for good ventilation, which he has a point and I'm doing it.

4 days now, my wife is still experiencing the same thing daily. My wife is asked to use the treatment he gave till the next appointment which is about 1.1/2 weeks more to go. Not sure whether to go back or not.

Since he said that it is due to some allergens and as it is happening to her around the same time each day, I recommended my wife to use the netti pot on a strict schedule, i.e before the time, she is expected to have headache which is once at 1pm and 6pm. This idea just came up today, hope this works. My reasoning is to clean up the allergens that is irritating her sinus before it gets too irritated till it hits her head.

On the other hand just to share, previously I noticed that I've been over humidifying my room. I read that ideally, the room humidity should about around 40-60%. Anything above 60%, allows dust mites to thrive. Previously my Sharp filter that has a build-in humidifier, has brought my room humidity level up to 80%. I quit using it as Dr Khor also said that it is bad. Now my room is about 55 plus minus.

u mean dr koay from sunway? It costs alot more, just his consultation alone is 80 bucks without using the scope. WIth the scope it costs me 120-150 without medication. with meds the total dmg is close to Rm300 already. Dr khor charged me around 60-80 for consultation and scope, with meds it costs me around 150. that's alot cheaper for me, same meds because i see them for the same problem most of the time.

Looks like ur wife has sinusitis which i have it too. What he said is correct cuz that's what dr koay from sunway told me as well. when it comes to sinusitis, it gets irritated really easily and mucus will start to flow non stop, worse case scenario headache like u mentioned and there was twice i experienced immense pain on my ear and eye which is also caused by my sinus. once i went to dr khor and it felt alot better after his treatment and his meds. the other i went to dr koay in sunway hospital. In my earlier posts i also mentioned i had my part sinus removed by him as well because it was giving me alot of problems at that time

About the doctor asking for ur wife's occupation, i was asked the same as well ever since i stepped into his clinic till today, he just wants to know the environment of ur work place.

You can't compare a mall and a house when it comes to dust/allergen etc, because a mall is really huge compared to a house therefore the amount of stuff gathered in the house is alot worse compared to a mall.

I wonder, if ur wife is sensitive to dust as well as it might irritate her sinus. if so, may i suggest you to read on the benefits of air ionizer where it produces negative ions to stick on to positive ions around us to clean the air. What i read about it is that all the dust particles will become heavier therefore it will fall to the ground instead of just floating around irritating ppl with sensitive nose.

u mean dr koay from sunway? It costs alot more, just his consultation alone is 80 bucks without using the scope. WIth the scope it costs me 120-150 without medication. with meds the total dmg is close to Rm300 already.

NO... i meant Dr Khor at Jalan Pudu is more expensive.... have not seen Dr Koay before... only Dr Gan of Sunway Medical. There are two ENT doctors in Sunway..

I am not sure what my wife is having. rclxub.gif When Dr Khor examined her, her inner nasal seems inflamed but no mucus. Seems like something is agitating her sinus. She does not have mucus flowing non stop or any congestions. Just sinus pain and headaches.

I am using the Sharp Plasmacluster as show below that comes with build in humidifier and ionizer as mentioned on my previous post. Might need to get another one for the area where she is working...

I brought my wife to see Dr Khor at Jalan Pudu, last Friday. It was quite expensive as well. I paid lesser at Sunway Medical Center with branded medication.

Dr Khor gave my wife some unknown drops and some cream in his own packaging. No idea what medication he gave to my pregnant wife. He did a normal scope into her nose as well and got lectured for about 15 minutes. All these comes to RM 218!

Upon registration, the receptionist asked which Chinese ancestry my wife belongs to and what is she working as. I felt weird at the beginning as I wondered why they needed such details. I don't quite like the receptionist attitude. Reminds me of some fierce teachers in those government school. Actually Dr Khor as well. He shows some kind of impatiences when you ask him more questions.

During examination, he insisted that my wife's problem is with what she is doing, which is online clothes reseller (At this time I realised why he wants to record what my wife's job is). He said that all new cloths contains allergens that is triggering her sinus problem. I'm not really sure if this is the case or not as she is not stocking a lot of the clothes at home and only once a week she will be handling the clothes and furthermore, she handles less than 10 pieces of the clothes. Hmm, if really this is the cause, she can't be walking into shopping mall already. I still feel sceptical on his claims but he is not a person that you could really voice your opinion to, so I just agree to what he say and hopefully his treatment works. He has also suggested us to open all the windows in the house for good ventilation, which he has a point and I'm doing it.

4 days now, my wife is still experiencing the same thing daily. My wife is asked to use the treatment he gave till the next appointment which is about  1.1/2 weeks more to go. Not sure whether to go back or not.

Since he said that it is due to some allergens and as it is happening to her around the same time each day, I recommended my wife to use the netti pot on a strict schedule, i.e before the time, she is expected to have headache which is once at 1pm and 6pm. This idea just came up today, hope this works. My reasoning is to clean up the allergens that is irritating her sinus before it gets too irritated till it hits her head.

On the other hand just to share, previously I noticed that I've been over humidifying my room. I read that ideally, the room humidity should about around 40-60%. Anything above 60%, allows dust mites to thrive. Previously my Sharp filter that has a build-in humidifier, has brought my room humidity level up to 80%. I quit using it as Dr Khor also said that it is bad. Now my room is about 55 plus minus.

The so-called "sinus" trouble that most people talk about actually falls into
three basic types :

1. Sinusitis, typically infections of the frontal and maxillary sinus cavities

2. Allergic rhinitis, which causes inflamed turbinates and nasal polyps

3. Nonallergic rhinitis, of which the main one is vasomotor rhinitis, and
also causes inflamed turbinates, usually the inferior one.


The surgery which they do to remove the inflamed turbinates is called
a turbinectomy.

http://www.localhealth.com/article/vasomotor-rhinitis

http://www.umm.edu/ency/article/001648.htm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhinitis

http://www.entusa.com/nose_photos.htm


The description you gave of your wife's symptoms - headache, sinus pain,
appears to be an infection of the maxillary or frontal sinuses.


The drops and spray that Dr Gan gave you appear to be more for allergic
or vasomotor rhinitis :

Afrin, oxymetazoline drops, a vasoconstricor

Rhinocort, budesonide spray


You can get both at any pharmacy. Afrin has been around for the past 40 years.


Budesonide is a first generation steroid. You could actually get one of the
second generation steroid sprays from any pharmacy :

Mometasone (Nasonex)
Fluticasone (Flonase)
Ciclesonide (Omnaris)


Ciclesonide, from the same company which developed budesonide, Astra,
is the best, with minimal systemic absorption.

The same steroid is used as an inhaler in asthma, Alvesco.

However, it is not advisable to use any steroid nasal spray for longer
than a month or two at a time.


You could try my schoolmate, Dr Chang Chew Ming, an ENT in Pantai Bangsar.

Hi all,

Please help comment if my experience at SIME DARBY MEDICAL CENTRE is TOO EXPENSIVE.

I went to visit Dr. NG PENG CHUA in SIME DARBY MEDICAL CENTRE this morning.

I spent a total of RM444 for a short 7 minute consultation. Is there any ways I can raise awareness on problems like this if this is too expensive?

Thank you guys.

Hi, Crys..around 8k++, almost 9k i would say. including surgery, consultation, medication,3days2night..doctor ask to stay one more night, i got bored, so ask doc to release earlier.

btw, it depends on your sinus condition. can ask doc during consultation. mine only at the left side nose..there are two types of procedure, one is using balloon, one more procedure cutting the blockage"i cant remember the procedure name".

the most expensive is balloon, you can check youtube (if you dare)or google..i use the second option bcoz balloon is not suitable for my case..i only watch youtube video after my surgery whistling.gif . scared mehh

i did exactly the same as urs without knowing it... my ENT doc never said anything and i thought only FESS.... then after few years it come back. i went for another ENT in glen and pudu, both doc said the turbinate reduction is not necessary and its prone to bleeding which i did. The worst is my previous ENT did it to my both nose which i only have problem at one side. I hate my previous ENT now for doing it without letting the me know. Some ENT really after the $$$ once they konw u are covered by insurance.

i suggest you seek second opinion before ending up at surgery table. But bleeding polyp usually does need surgery.

Just to share my case.

I have sinus problem since years back and getting worst day by day with included Nasal discharge backflow into throat and coughing non stop.

Went to Dr Gan Tong Nee@Sunmed, tried few types of sprays(Mar, Afrin, Nasonex) and it wont helps and he decided to do FESS(8k+) on me.
Did First time, after few weeks my problem and my problem back again.
Did CT scan, found that got infection and mucal tissues building up, and he did second time of FESS(7K+) on me.
Problem came back after few weeks again, this time he gave me antibiotics and ask me consider for Balloon sinuplasty which costing 12K++.
I keep telling him my throat is not feeling well but he just ignore it and keep focus on my nasal part.
I then gave up on him and stop visiting.

My backflow and coughing continues for next few months until my GP doc told me to try Dr Megat@ColumbiaAsia Puchong.
Dr Megat did some basic checks on my nasal and my throat and shown me some of the images.
The sinus points is good condition which thanks to FESS, no infections, no blockage except one side of it kinda narrow.

He gave me tried Nasacort & Nasonex but the result is not good too and he found my coughing problem was due to acid reflux.
Dr Megat refer me to Dr Jurina(Physician) to get second opinions.

Dr Jurina really damn good and she sent me to do few test and confirmed my problem was due to acid reflux.
She gave me controloc and few other medicine which I can feel the different after that but she told me that I need to control my stress level too which it did contribute to this problem.
Last few weeks, my problem getting serious, and she put me into ward.
She get Dr Yong Chun Woon to do stomach scoping to make sure everything is ok.
She get Dr Megat to continue treat my nasal part.
She put controloc into my body for 48 hours.

after 3D2N of treatment(7K++ included 3 specialist charges), now I feel better and my coughing is fixed!
and now I know what is the real problem.
Nasal discharge backflow can't be fix easily, that will need to depends on environment, weather but I'm a lot better now.
Acid reflux, Now I know how to handle it properly.

But once I over ate too much, then I can feel the relux again...LOL

Just to share my experiences , in case anyone of you having same problem as mine.
Hope everyone stay healthy smile.gif

Hi Cedriccheah,
I am having the same problem as you since CNY, coughing and taking lots of cough medicine and antibiotics but still the same.
After that decided to see Dr Gan in Mac 2013 to check on my throat but he check my nose for sinus problem.
He suggest that I go for FESS surgery. I agree to go for it because I thought it will solve my problem fast.

After for a month after the FESS surgery,I have the same problem back again and he suggested a revised surgery to rectify the
problem caused by scarred tissue. He said this surgery will definitely rectify my problem.
After the 2nd surgery, I feel better then the 1st because my ear is not block and my cough is better until now.
But mucus still flow down my throat and have to blow my nose quite often to clear it. Went back to see him again and he suggested
Balloon sinuplasty surgery. After reading what you have gone through and not getting well, I decided not to go for it.
It's about a month after the 2nd surgery, I still goes back weekly to clear mucus in my nose.
I am still hoping time will cure my throat and mucus will stop flowing then I will be well again.

How are you getting on since Dec 2012 until now? Hope you can give me some advise for my next step. Tq

My backflow and coughing continues for next few months until my GP doc told me to try Dr Megat@ColumbiaAsia Puchong.
Dr Megat did some basic checks on my nasal and my throat and shown me some of the images.
The sinus points is good condition which thanks to FESS, no infections, no blockage except one side of it kinda narrow.

He gave me tried Nasacort & Nasonex but the result is not good too and he found my coughing problem was due to acid reflux.
Dr Megat refer me to Dr Jurina(Physician) to get second opinions.

Dr Jurina really damn good and she sent me to do few test and confirmed my problem was due to acid reflux.
She gave me controloc and few other medicine which I can feel the different after that but she told me that I need to control my stress level too which it did contribute to this problem.
Last few weeks, my problem getting serious, and she put me into ward.
She get Dr Yong Chun Woon to do stomach scoping to make sure everything is ok.
She get Dr Megat to continue treat my nasal part.
She put controloc into my body for 48 hours.

after 3D2N of treatment(7K++ included 3 specialist charges), now I feel better and my coughing is fixed!
and now I know what is the real problem.
Nasal discharge backflow can't be fix easily, that will need to depends on environment, weather but I'm a lot better now.
Acid reflux, Now I know how to handle it properly.

But once I over ate too much, then I can feel the relux again...LOL

Just to share my experiences , in case anyone of you having same problem as mine.
Hope everyone stay healthy smile.gif

don go to dr gan anymore. yes, he is nice and friendly but he can be very very pushy when wanna persuade people to go for FESS. he immediately told me to sign a form to book appointment without giving me time to consider.

never go back since then.

till now, i'm still looking for a good ENT. called dr khor's clinic to find out opening hours, but the nurses very fierce =_=

also went to Dr Bala in Tropicana....erm....so so only.

I when to dr.gan also, u r so right he is so pushy, he told me there will be no cure, unless i do surgery then he took out his appointment book until i stop him and say i need some time to c when will be the best time to do this surgery. By the way, y did u say dr. bala so so only?

Dr Bala is nice to the patients, but not very patient as far as i can see. u can try. but for me, he is also so-so. i've yet to meet one friendly and not-pushy ENTs and i already visited 4 so far.

Oh thanks so much for your info. I am also going for my second opinion with Dr. Megat and third opinion with Dr. Yeo (prince medical) Hopefully I dont have to go through surgery. I dont want to go for FESS surgery if it does not cure me.

Hi LTSAudrey,
You are right, don't go for FESS surgery, if your case is not a chronic sinusitis problem. When are you going for second opinion with Dr. Megat?? I would like to see him too. I did the FESS surgery too soon without seeking for second opinion and before I join this forum. After the 1st, I have to do the 2nd surgery because it is getting bad. After the 2nd I feel much better then after the 1st surgery. But still have some mucus coming down my nose and throat.

But in their website it stated Dr Megat's clinic hours are Monday - Friday: 8am - 4pm, Saturday: 8am - 11:30am ?? You called them ?
I went to Dr Gan, he is a nice doctor he said out of 10 patient, one will be the unlucky one, need to go for the 2nd time that is called Revise surgery.
So that's me, i went for the 2nd. But still have some backflow, mucus coming down my throat and nose, not as much as after the 1st surgery.
He said the 2nd surgery will rectify the problem. Now I need to wash my nose with Mar and use Nasonex nasal spray everyday hoping that it will get well.

Mandy, but dr. gan didnt say that to me, he only say, "i wont lie to u, doesn't mean after doing this surgery your sinusitis wont come back" He say it wont 100% solve the problem but at least 95% and he also say after surgery care is very important, if we didn't clean the wound properly for sure there will be some tissue blockage. Can you tell me how do u feel after 2nd surgery? how long for u to recover after the first surgery?

Yes, I call his nurse yesterday to fix an appointment.

You called Dr Megat's nurse to fix appointment? Maybe I was too happy after the 1st surgery, feeling much better and didn't know that it will be back. I went out to public places like shopping mall, cinema and drives around. I think I shouldn't do that. Yes, after my 1st, I waited about 2 mths for it to recover fully. It did not, then he convinced me for the 2nd and I have no choice already, I can't stop just like that without full recovery. So I go for it and also claimed from my insurance.
After the 2nd, maybe i am more careful, cleaned it very often and took longer period of antibiotics which was adviced by doc. Now it is about a month after my 2nd surgery, I found it much better then the 1st, but just the backflow which make my voice like having a cold.

I stayed for 2 nights. I did the 2nd surgery because of scar tissues. I was on anesthetic for an hour too. My nose was not as painful as the 1st but I vomited out all clotted blood when awake. Terrible taste. It is the same as the 1st surgery when awake I feel like vomiting but I managed to control for the 1st.

Now sharing my experience here:

After visit to dr khor in pudu, everything is clear. He straight away treat the cause n not the symptoms. No painkillers were given hut just antibiotic, anti inflamation, n some drops n relaxing pill for stress. It's true he's weird in some way but heck who cares if he's good? Some complain his nurses are fierce, well i guess because their boss, dr khor will grill them kaw kaw if they didn do their work properly i.e taking wrong info like what u r allergic to etc.

Will doing my surgery next month. Hope once n for all i can bye bye my headache forever.

Visited both Dr Koay Cheng Eng and Dr Paul Lim in Sunway Medical Centre. Been experiencing vertigo for almost two weeks. Went to Dr Koay at first, he's nice and willing to explain the reason of my inequilibrium. Went back second time too see Dr Koay as my inequilibrium seems to be getting worst ( no Meds given ) but unfortunately couldn't see him that day, so went for Dr Paul Lim. Currently under medication to treat my vertigo. For those who want a nice and friendly doctor who is willing to talk about your condition, I recommend both doctors. Overall, had a good experience with both ENTs.

I just made an enquiry with a ENT specialist for a visit, and was quoted (almost) RM 400 for flexible endoscopy.

Wanna check with you guys, is that fee normal?

Which specialist? Actually the fee depends what did you check on. If you checked your throat, nose and ear then it will be expensive. Else if only nose then not that much maybe about RM 150. But if you go for radiology then it will be at least RM400.

Hi Cedriccheah,
I am having the same problem as you since CNY, coughing and taking lots of cough medicine and antibiotics but still the same.
After that decided to see Dr Gan in Mac 2013 to check on my throat but he check my nose for sinus problem.
He suggest that I go for FESS surgery. I agree to go for it because I thought it will solve my problem fast.

After for a month after the FESS surgery,I have the same problem back again and he suggested a revised surgery to rectify the
problem caused by scarred tissue. He said this surgery will definitely rectify my problem.
After the 2nd surgery, I feel better then the 1st because my ear is not block and my cough is better until now.
But mucus still flow down my throat and have to blow my nose quite often to clear it. Went back to see him again and he suggested
Balloon sinuplasty surgery. After reading what you have gone through and not getting well, I decided not to go for it.
It's about a month after the 2nd surgery, I still goes back weekly to clear mucus in my nose.
I am still hoping time will cure my throat and mucus will stop flowing then I will be well again.

How are you getting on since Dec 2012 until now? Hope you can give me some advise for my next step. Tq

Hi Cedriccheah, I have been waiting for your reply since a month ago. At last, happy to hear from you but not happy to hear that you still have the cough.
Thanks for sharing about your experiences. Me too similar as your case. I went to Dr Megat too and he gave me controloc tablets which i am still taking it.
Thanks for introducing Dr Megat, he is a very nice, patient, detail and friendly doctor. Actually I don't eat much and do not have acid reflux, but he said i have a very slight of it which I am not aware. He said my nasal looks good because of the FESS surgery, but I have something below my throat was caused by acid reflux. Now when I took controloc tablets most of the time i don't cough but my voice still like having a cold. I think I need to see him next week.

As someone mentioned in a post above during 2012, a good ENT specialist is Dr Chang Chew Ming in Pantai Hospital . He goes to Assunta as well.
He is not only good but I'd say great.

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???!!!!!

Brought my 17 wk pregnant wife to see mr Gan tong née at Sunway hospital. She is suffering daily headache and sinus pain.

During the first visit she was given antibiotics and some nasal spray for a week as he said that there are some sinus infection. During that week, she was fine for about 3 days and then all the symptoms came back. After a week, brought her back to mr Gan tong née again as she is still having the same issue. He then gave her Rhinocort Aqua nasal spray and ask her to use daily for two weeks. Today as I'm writing this, she is on that nasal spray for 1 week now and she is still suffering from headache and sinus pain.

Overall mr gan tong nee is a friendly and nice doctor but am not sure about his treatment. From what i read above, it seems that he likes to recommend his patients to do operation and at most time from what i read above, doesn't treat the problem.

sigh.... Heart Pain,  seeing my wife still suffering everyday. I tried all sorts of other remedies, bought a sharp plasmacluster ion generator, using tea tree oil, switch off air conditioner, humidify that room and still no cure or relief. Sigh...She is now trying to use probiotics in her neti pot as well. 2 days now... Hope this remedies recommended by some sufferer online will cure her.. Might bring her to seek for second opinion if she doesn't feel better in the next few days... Maybe will try dr Khor at Jalan Pudu..

My good friend also recommend Dr Gan Tong Nee for my sinus issue but after i saw your report on Dr Gan, i think i have to think twice. haha..

How is your wife condition now? I heard that sinus caused by nasal parasites and there is a very famous chinese dr from Bukit Mertajam can cure the nose blocked and sinus issue.

You can check on the youtube which he was interviewed by some foreign TV:-

Hello everyone,

I just want to share my experience with my favorite ENTs.

His name is Dr Hj Md Husain Said. And yes if you look up in medeguide.com his name will come out first on the list. Since he works solely in SJMC the fees would be very expensive, but it's really worth a shot. He's very friendly and gives me a lot of explanation about my health conditions.

I had tonsillectomy, turbinate reduction and balloon maxillary sinuplasty and septoplasty on 2012. I was charged MYR27,384.03.

I also found that early this year that I had a severe right sphenoidal sinusitis. Again, he has assured me that he has been performing numerous balloon sphenoidal sinuplasty. I'll be having my second surgery this 30th of Jan. It will be going to cost me around 20k. But I don't mind because he's Dr Md Husain. thumbup.gif

i just think i need to comment

Dr Khor is pretty "low grade", he nearly killed me.. i suffered from a serious tonsilitis that cause me alot of pain, and cant eat, cant sleep, cant drink, and he gave me tons of panadols and some antibiotic, RM230, later.. i hospitalised due to this..
*
I had the exact same symptom as above but I recovered after I've been to Dr Khor whereas the GP failed me. Was sick for a week until I visited Dr Khor.

A little bit of Dr Khor from my viewpoint:
He is good.
I went to him because I was suffering from fever and very painful sore throat for a prolonged time - about a week. Seen a GP but wasn't recovering.
Somewhat from hearing me speak only, he is able to diagnosed my problem is with my nose then only he prompt me to the endoscope and CT scan. That brief moment I was trying to tell him my symptoms but I don't think he's taking in what I'm saying also.

The way he talk does give a streak of impatience or lansi but not impolite.
I don't know how to describe it.
Maybe it is just the way he communicates, direct and straight but not with proper connecting sequence.
Imagine hearing that you need an operation to cure your sickness after diagnosis without first knowing what is wrong, why it happens and why requires operation.. these kind of sequence is missing.

I planned to visit Dr. Koh Tat Ngee from Gleneagles soon. It is not that I don't trust Dr. Khor but it is what people always said to look for 2nd opinions. After all, Dr. Khor wanna cut me up which is no small matter of taking medicine only.

Anyone can share something about Dr. Koh Tat Ngee?

I got scolded for being in pain yawn.gif.He is too straight forward and he stares the heck out of ur eyes when he is talking to u.He seems to have more potential to be a lawyer than being a specialist.
So this is what i asked him and how he answered me back:

ME:Why cant we close the curtain?
Dr. Khor: No you cant.

No proper answering,no nothing. yawn.gif

may i know what is the risk of doing sinus surgery? coz some of the complications sound scary from what i googled. Apparently it might affect the brain or the eyes because the sinus is near to those areas. is that true?

someone please clarify this. thanks

i had a swollen lymph node on the right side of my neck which lead to a visible giant swell on the neck and been dragging the problem for 2 months +.

so i went to consult Dr Paul Lim in Sunway (recommended by both recommendations i received and couldnt see any bad comments about him online.)

he is nice and humble. he was able to diagnose my problem accurately (which is same with scan & lab test results i had later) by merely touching and some scoping in my nose.

the problem solved after a minor surgery by him.

try not to mention about consumption traditional medicine to him. i did consume and did tell him about it. he was not scolding or angry but he frequently advice me to stop consuming traditional medicines and pimples on my were due to consumpion of traditional meds lol.

hi,

Just met Dr. Khor from his Clinic @ Pudu. He said that my nose bone is a bit crooked and it blocked the airway. He suggest to go for surgery to straighten the nose bone.

Anyone here went through this situation before?

Wah, why the huge difference compared to mine. There was once where I had to get a jab to reduce the swelling in my nose, hideaway what's it called. As I have phobia for syringes I started to break out in cold sweat and tremble. He did not scold after attempting twice to calm me down, instead told me to go to the operation room upstairs to lie down and wait for him. After his next patient which is like ten minutes he just came up and had a small talk with me and gave my nose a jab. All went well.

Been there like more than ten times d, he looks old and sometimes hw hen he talks it sounded like he's scolding but I got used to it laugh.gif

Just to update. I had my nose operated by Dr Khor last week due to my deviated septum. The surgery took about 2 hours (starting from my sleep until I woke up). I feel I can breathe better once I was conscious.

Now I need to faced by bloody nose as I need to keep on blowing my nose from time to time to avoid blood clot. But it's getting lesser as I keep applying the oil drops every 3 hours.

Will update again my condition in a few weeks time.

there is a Ear specialist at penang,at batu lanchang. i have been there once because near my ear canal grow something that nearly close my ear canal.and he gave me antibiotics n also reduce swollen medicine. after finish up the antibiotics,the things in my ear gets smaller.it took roughly 1 week to recover,cost of medication n medicine is rm38.

incident 2

both of my ear was stuck with ear wax and it affect my hearing. at first my mum brought me to her company clinic, and the doctor said the ear wax already become as hard as a rock,and he gave the medicine which can breaks the ear wax into small pieces n it will fall off eventually. but when i apply that medicine, my ear bleeds n i feel very painful, the next day my mum decided to bring me to ENT specialist after asking her company doctor for referal letter,she then bring me to island hospital. and the treatment and medicine fees is rm700++ for both ears including hearing test. insurance cannot claim 100%

choose wisely.

well you had three operations, so i have no idea how much each costs. I had my sinus removed by him which costs ard 2K and had a broken nose fixed by him as well. Never been better after following his advise to cut my sinus and it has been more than 10 years

it took like 2-3 weeks to be completely free from any blockage after my sinus operation. No need to worry cuz i'm sure he can help you. Been going to him for more than 10 years d.

Thanks for the advise. Hopefully will recover from the blockage as it's really irritating when I can't breath through two nostrils. Maybe I still having some blood clot inside my nose. Tomorrow will seek for his advise see whether it is normal or anything I can do to feel better. Thanks for sharing again.

It's normal. After I done my septoplasty, my nose often get blocked. The reason being blocked is because the blood and mucous are dried up. Dr Khor said it's normal and he recommended me to apply the oil drops into my nose every 4 hrs and blow out my nose (not blow too hard) frequently.

For post surgery follow-up, I was required to see him every week. During each visit, he will insert a small hose from a machine to suck out all the mucous and dried blood from the nose. YOu will get some nasal spray (salt water) to ease the congestion.

Don't worry, things will get back to normal in 3-4 weeks gradually.

I totally agreed with what u said, I done my sinus operation with Dr Koay Cheng Boon in 2008 and my nose right side still encounter some problem. This week, I call up and got informed by nurse, Dr Koay Cheng Boon on Sabbatical leave
and when to see Dr Koay Cheng Eng, and I notice Dr KCE is a real good doctor, immediately, he explained my problem after diagnose with picture (screenshot) where is the problem of my nose and give advise to my what to do.

Both Doctor are OK but Dr KCE willing to explain more if u ask me

Something to share in here, i was coughing non stop for month, especially at night, been trying every single method, chinese herbs powder, cough syrup etc, was quite ok after initial treatment but only for 1 or 2 days, it comes back and getting worst until my chest pain

I found this forum and decided to make a trip to visit Dr Koay CE at Sunway Hospital, know what?! 3 days, it only take 3 days and my cought is totally cured by medication and physiotherapy method

Dr Koay CE was so patience and give explanation on why my body react such a way, i was enlightened!

There are two Dr Koay in Sunway, both are ENT, Dr Koay Cheng Eng (Dr Koay CE) was the one treated me. He was from Gleneagles previously, the price was reasonable.

2nd visit tomorrow for follow-up.

Hi guys,

Went to see DR Koay Eng Cheng yday at Sunway Med. Was told that i will need to go thru two procedures:

i)Septoplasty (to correct the deviated septum)
ii)Turbinectomy (remove some meat which is causing the swelling in one nostril)

Just want to hear from those who have gone thru these procedures? Is it necessary? Does it solve the problem and will the problem recur again in the near future? Also any complications that may arise from it and how long to fully recover after the operation?

This is my first time undergoing any sort of surgery/procedure therefore im quite nervous and do not know what to expect.

Also is Dr Koay Eng Cheng any good? Anyone experienced surgery under him before?

Pls share and thank u very much for the input.

The dr Khor from Pudu, is his clinic opposite Puduraya with an ear signboard? One of my relative got tinnitus 10 years ago and the 1st ENT that he can think of is there? He went there to see him and got slaughter for more than rm500 just for some in nose and ear diagnostic and medication. Told to return after a week then recommended him to Tung Shin for nose x-ray. This time recommended for a surgery due to his nose not symmetrical which causes this tinnitus. Of course he would go for 2nd or 3rd recommendation before any surgery. Again got slaughter just for some medication and consultation only. So he went to Pantai Cheras and HUKM none of the specialist recommended surgery all they can say is they couldn't pinpoint the cause it could be due to some nerve damaged. There's no such thing as 100% symmetrical for a nose, its normal. So he has miss out the golden period of getting his ear cure just because the 1st doctor only interested in surgery which he can charge higher and delayed his time. During the 1st 2 times visit the doctor only give him the impression of $$$ sign only. Now one of his ear are deaf with no apparent reason.
Anyone here had tinnitus and got it cure, please share the experience.

No ear signage. That row has quite a number of specialists there. I have not paid 500 for his treatment before except for his surgery.
Dr khor's clinic entrance is all brown tinted glass.

You can also go to UMSC. The ENT specialist is an Indian chap. Can't remember his name now.

Pretty good. My dad got 'upgraded' to special rate in UMMC (the Gov branch) because his case was special - it seems there is special learning value with his case.
The only down side is a bunch of medical students will tengok2 the surgery. The doctor still does the surgery but my dad was the subject of the day. Got tape the surgery some more for my dad to see in the follow up! biggrin.gif

You will have to sign off rights for the docs to use the surgery video as they please. Maybe they write reports or it become library archive, who knows?

We did get second opinion from Dr. Gan Tong Nee. Same outcome, only the price is different.

From what I know Sinus surgery is not a clear cut operations. The surgeon needs to judge how much flesh to remove and how much to retain. Too much removal could cause excessive scarring, and the problem comes back again. Too little, like no effect.

I will suggest go to UMSC first. The specialists and treatment are quite good and comparable to private hospital. Besides that, the fees are very cheap. The only downside is that you need to go through the medical students checkup before you can really meet the specialists.

U r right, no matter which doctor we go for, to me, the experience of the doctor is the most essential, go for 2nd or even 3rd opinion for any operation and choose the best. We have consumer's right hahaha :-D

Hi cedriccheah,

thanks for sharing about your experience. Really helpful. I've been having sinus for about 3 years+. It's tough on me because I go through 11 packets of 50 sheets of tissue like every 2 weeks. Then I also occasionally have headaches. I am a teacher in a private school. So it's an air-conditioned environment (no choice), but I protect myself with the humidifier near me and a scarf covering my nose and hot/warm water. but there are days where it's just bad.

When my friend first discovered my "flu" problem she suggested that it might be sinus and took me to see a specialist in Tropicana Medical Centre. I can't remember the doctor's name as it was 3 years ago. That's when I discovered that I had sinus and a lil bone growth in my left nose. He suggested for me to do a simple laser surgery (which I now realised is FESS).

I have spoken to my insurance agent and he reckons insurance can cover with overnight stay in hospital for surgery.

So here are some of my questions:
1. Did FESS required you to have an overnight stay in hospital?

2. How long is the recovery?

3. What is the recovery like? Any problems faced or symptoms shown? E.g. nausea/headache??

4. What is the FESS operation like? Does it require anesthetic?

I'm hoping to go for a consultation with Dr. Megat in Columbia Asia Puchong soon and find out if the surgery is what I need. Am currently suffering from a headache due to sinus. I was given nasal spray and antibiotics after my consultation in Tropicana. But I found that it didn't help. So I stopped and never took since then. I'm currently not on any medication. I ensure that I rest well, avoid aircondition (if not then I keep myself really warm and cover my neck with scarf). Am trying to diligently ensure my room is clean. Sometimes I breathe in hot water vapour from hot water (steam method) to help clear airways). I always have to blow my nose every morning and before I go to sleep. And if its a bad one, throughout the day.

5. Have you found any natural means that helped?

6. Did the problem came back after the surgery? (I don't want to have the surgery if the problem is just going to return)

Just to share my experience on Koay Cheng Boon. He is not very good or professional in my opinion. I had few ocassions of throat irritation and nausea in the morning few years back. I went in and out of his clinic for few months. Always ask me to come back in 2 weeks.

The symptons persisted after the few visits. Never in his mind that they could be caused by something else. Only until the symptoms getting worse with heart burn, then I decided to see a Gastrologist. I was finally diagnosed with gastro acid reflux problem.

My conclusion is he is jeopardizing patient health and wasting my time, money and health. He could be too indulge in his discipline and too commercial to get hold on money. Whatever it is he is not very good.

Dear friends
My husband gets his sinusitis since August 2014. He took already some antibiotics but it has not helped till now. His sinusitis getting worst.
Almost all the time, he can not sleep since he can not breath, some backflow, mucus always coming down his throat and nose and very often headache. Nasal spray helps just a little.

This forum helps us a lot to understand more about sinusitis.
But we still need more help from you all…
It means a lot, if you could share your experiences to us.

We read here very often, that 1x FESS mostly will not help. Need to do the 2nd FESS which called revise surgery. Is it true? Does someone know, why FESS must be done 2x? is the 2nd surgery the same process like the 1st one?

What kind of surgery preparation normally must be done, before the doctor takes the decision for the next step? (only CT scan?....)

We heard the name ‘Dr. Megat @ Columbia Asia Puchung’ very often. Is she really good? It means a lot for us, if you would like to share your experiences with her.
Does someone know her contact number or email addresse?

As a 2nd opinion, which doctor would you more prefer? Please feedback.

Many many many thanks.

Hi Touchofgod,
Could you already meet Dr. Megat? may I know the result... It would be great if you could and want to share your experiences with me. Since we have to learn more about sinus.

thanks a lot.

Hi Aaronportnoy.
I read your message above.

How is your sinus know?
Did you do the two procedures by Dr. Koay Cheng Eng?
How is your experience with him?

It would be great, if you would like to share your experience with us, since we have to learn a lot from others experiences.

Thank you.

I went to dr Khor to fix my sinus problem after years of taking antibiotics and nasal spray. Same problem as ur husband which includes pounding ear pain when lying down flat, blocked nose every morning, unlimited mucus running down my throat with burning sensation in eyes like hay fever. Antibiotics and nasal spray are just temporary solutions

im current waiting my result from HUKM for suspected Nose cancers. But the result needs 3 weeks (till 8-July), so i plan to seek for other doctor advice at the same times, as I notice some purple dot is growing on my legs' skin and now it appeared on my shoulder and hands.

1. nasopharyngeal carcinoma
2. lymphoma
3. Kaposi Sarcome

I goolged and read some articles, seems most of the discussed ENT specialists are not necessary expert in cancers area. So can anyone suggest, beside 2 doctors below, any ENT cancer specialist can recommend to me please. As I feel like my body condition is not getting very well now, not sure 3 weeks time will have big impact or not.

1. Dr Vincent Tan - Klang KPJ
2. Dr Koay Cheng Eng - Sunway Med

Finally my new sinus medicine has arrived and i hv started using. Unfortunately it is not available in malaysia.
So far the results hv been encouraging. I am still considering whether to stop my nasonex and use this one instead, altho they can be used together. But if this one continue to work, one less medicine to my nose may not be a bad thing. This is a different class of nasal spray. Good luck to fellow sinus sufferers.

Dr Koay Cheng Eng was my ENT doctor in Sunway Med. Just an update on what happened to help those who need it.

I was admitted in January for two procedures Septoplasty (for Deviated Septum) and Turbine reduction.

After the surgery, i woke up to a sort of flat nose, freaked out and complained to Dr Koay about it. He took a look and told me that the Septoplasty might have be overly done caz my septum was very NOT straight. So of coz i asked him if i could fix it immediately since it looks bad, and after a day he agreed to do another surgery to push it up- Rhinoplasty if not mistaken.

After a week i was out of the hospital, and started recovering at home. The first month i would say, i still had some congestion, caz of the stitches (auto dissolve) mucus gets stuck on my nose and dries up so it blocks the air flow. Had to keep blowing and i think i may have blown too hard at times. After i couldnt take it anymore i told him to remove the stitches, which he did, and it was ok after that.

Since then, i had have good air flow with no congestion or sinus attacks for roughly 3-4 months. However recently, my nose has started to become blocked again. I suspect that the turbinate (whatever u call it) may have regrown causing it to block the air flow. I have to either take anti histamines or use the strong nose drops. Normal sprays like Nasonex wont work.

Anyways im thinking of seeing another ENT for second opinion now. Any suggestions? Someone in SJMC would be good, nearer to home.

Thanks.

After that decided to see Dr Gan in Mac 2013 to check on my throat but he check my nose for sinus problem.
He suggest that I go for FESS surgery. I agree to go for it because I thought it will solve my problem fast.

After for a month after the FESS surgery,I have the same problem back again and he suggested a revised surgery to rectify the
problem caused by scarred tissue. He said this surgery will definitely rectify my problem.
After the 2nd surgery, I feel better then the 1st because my ear is not block and my cough is better until now.
But mucus still flow down my throat and have to blow my nose quite often to clear it. Went back to see him again and he suggested
Balloon sinuplasty surgery. After reading what you have gone through and not getting well, I decided not to go for it.
It's about a month after the 2nd surgery, I still goes back weekly to clear mucus in my nose.
I am still hoping time will cure my throat and mucus will stop flowing then I will be well again.

How are you getting on since Dec 2012 until now? Hope you can give me some advise for my next step. Tq

So did you go to DR Meagt? I'm planning to go there because my voice is hoarse and i've been coughing and feeling nausea.

I've been experiencing coughing and hoarseness. Also nausea and I had a slight fever. I think this might be due to LPR silent reflux. Anyone can suggest good ENT doctor who can resolve this problem?

Anyone ever experience this problem>

I highly recommend Dr Gan Tong Nee (ENT Specialist @ Sunway Medical Centre) for those who are suffering from sinus infection, stuffy nose or sinus headaches. He is very friendly and professional in his field.
I had my FESS surgery by Dr Gan Tong Nee last week. The procedure takes about an hour, and it does not hurt at all. The result was amazing and I can breathe so much better than before.

I have suffered from sinusitis for years, and I was taking all kind of medicine like Panadol, Zyrtec D, Clarinase and antihistamine etc.
I would recommend taking FESS surgery that solves all sinus problem, comparing to taking all kinds of medication that works for only sometime.

Finally my new sinus medicine has arrived and i hv started using.  Unfortunately it is not available in malaysia.
So far the results hv been encouraging.  I am still considering whether to stop my nasonex and use this one instead, altho they can be used together.  But if this one continue to work, one less medicine to my nose may not be a bad thing.  This is a different class of nasal spray.  Good luck to fellow sinus sufferers.

There is one product available and registered in Malaysia, contains the same ingredient of what you bought which is called Cromal AQ Nasal Spray. If you don't mind the product is from India then this will be much cheaper for you.

Thanks for the alternative!

I hv been using this spray for a month. So far the effect is good. If your steroid spray is not working, no harm giving this a try.

This is the same ingredient as the one you are using. They are both Non-Steroidal nasal spray. So are safer.

Yes I did see Dr Megat and he did the same clear my throat. He is a nice doc and adviced me to do more exercise and have enough rest.

I did as what he said and my cough is much better but until end year 2014 I have cough again!

Actually instead of going for surgery you better try this home make ginger drink.
A friend of mine gave me this recipe:

Ginger, garlic, lemon - all 15 pcs each
Apple cider - 1 bottle ( 1000 ml)
Honey - 1 bottle (1000 ml)

All mixed and boil for 1 1/2 hrs
Remember you need a claypot to boil.

After when it's cool down pour it in glass bottle to keep in refrigerator.
Every day first thing in the morning drink this before breakfast.
Mix 2 tablespoon with 1 quarter cup of warm water.

Actually it works from Jan 2015 until now I stop taking medicine and thank God my cough is gone and no more running nose !

Can anyone of you pls try this and share with us the outcome after few months.

Thank you.

Hello guys, I just came to west msia to study recently and I wonder if there is any well-known ENT specialist near/closest to Putrajaya/Cyberjaya? I know there is an ENT clinic in Putrajaya hospital but I cant make it there as my parents are coming this weekend so I can only opt for private ones. Thanks guys much appreciated.

My wife had a very bad experience with the unethical conduct of Dr John Tan Hong Guan (of SJMC) this morning.

Due to a recent intermittent loss of hearing since the beginning of her pregnancy my wife visited Dr. John Tan on the above mentioned date. The whole visit lasted approximately 5 minutes. She informed Dr. John Tan of her ear problem and was merely told that nothing was wrong as her ear drum was moving when she blows her ear.

Not satisfied with a mere ‘nothing is wrong’ and without any proper medical explanation/advice given, my wife further informed the Dr that she could not blow her ear as it hurts but rather what she has been doing to minimise the pain was by lying down on one side for some time. Dr John merely repeated what she informed and asked my wife to just lie down since she knows lying down helps. My wife told him it was not possible to be lying down all the time and he just smiled without providing further explanation. He then told my wife all the best to end the session. This whole event and conversation took less than 5 minutes.

When my wife was presented with the bill (as attached), she was shocked to see that she was being charged MYR570.32. As a foreigner, my wife was unsure if it was a mistake in the bill. She called me for help to speak to the Dr to find out the reason for the charges and to seek clarification on the procedure mentioned in the bill that justified such amount.

My wife managed to pass the phone to Dr John. Before I managed to finish my question to seek clarification on the exact procedure that was performed within the 3 minutes visit, he shut me off by telling me “I don’t know what you are asking. I don’t want to talk to you”. He walked off from the room leaving my wife alone in the room unattended.

My wife was stunned by such attitude of a medical practitioner. Such unethical conduct has completely tarnished the image of all the medical practitioners of Malaysia. Due to this experience, my wife has since refused to seek further medical advice from any Doctor in the country and opted to return to South Korea for treatment.

We had lodged a formal complaint to SJMC customer care.

Disclaimer: This is entirely our personal experience with this specific Dr and to share with members of this forum here. It is not meant to undermine anybody's experience (good or bad) with the same Dr.
We had lodged a formal complaint with SJMC and we are waiting for their investigation on this matter. Meanwhile, I am sure there are many other good and ethical doctors in Malaysia that treat patients with respect and care.

sorry to hear about your bad experience. More than 500 bucks for a 5 mins consultation is ridiculous. I do not go to SJMC because I find their doctors very arrogant and think they're too good to explain to patients. I've been looked down upon when i went for a body check up. I've visited their ENT(forgot the name) once and never return anymore.

If you are in Cheras, then you should visit HUKM Specialist Center.

There have several ENT specialist over there and each of them have their own subspecialty.

I hv consulted Dr Balwant Singh before at HUKM. He has clinic on Sat morning and he is very detailed person.

Pls call to make appointment as Sat can be packed.

If I am not mistaken, Dr Balwant's sub specialty is more towards nasal rather than ear.

Dr Koay Cheng Eng was my ENT doctor in Sunway Med. Just an update on what happened to help those who need it.

I was admitted in January for two procedures Septoplasty (for Deviated Septum) and Turbine reduction.

After the surgery, i woke up to a sort of flat nose, freaked out and complained to Dr Koay about it. He took a look and told me that the Septoplasty might have be overly done caz my septum was very NOT straight. So of coz i asked him if i could fix it immediately since it looks bad, and after a day he agreed to do another surgery to push it up- Rhinoplasty if not mistaken.

After a week i was out of the hospital, and started recovering at home. The first month i would say, i still had some congestion, caz of the stitches (auto dissolve) mucus gets stuck on my nose and dries up so it blocks the air flow. Had to keep blowing and i think i may have blown too hard at times. After i couldnt take it anymore i told him to remove the stitches, which he did, and it was ok after that.

Since then, i had have good air flow with no congestion or sinus attacks for roughly 3-4 months. However recently, my nose has started to become blocked again. I suspect that the turbinate (whatever u call it) may have regrown causing it to block the air flow. I have to either take anti histamines or use the strong nose drops. Normal sprays like Nasonex wont work.

Anyways im thinking of seeing another ENT for second opinion now. Any suggestions? Someone in SJMC would be good, nearer to home.

Thanks.

Dear all,
I need some help here.
My son has crooked inner nose bone (just like me 25 years ago).

Sorry i did not know what is the medical term for this kind of problem.

The crooked nose inner bone blocked some of the airway passage, so he has difficulty to breathe at one side of the nose.

I did the same surgery 25 years ago in melaka.
Now we live in Subang Jaya, we went to UMSC for checking, but did not like the environment there.

We decided to get it done at Sunway Medical.
From this thread, I can see there are few ENT specialists in Sunway Medical.

Could anyone recommend a good ENT that will take good care of my kid?
My kid is 17 years old.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Ya, I used to have issues with my sinus and tonsils and I had to find a good ENT for my surgeries.

Bear in mind the waiting time to visit him is quite long even with appointment made. I got there 15 minutes after his clinic opened and I still have to wait 45 mins for my turn as there were quite a number already ahead of me.

Seriously I dont know why anybody care about his personal life .

I just had a very good surgery experience with Dr. Koay Cheng Boon .

My case was i had sinus headaches time to time , then after recent haze in malaysia i had flue twice followed by serious Chronic Sinus .

To be honest I am kind of person who will avoid doctors , medicines and hospitals at max .

So it was really worst facial pressure and pain and i had to go to the hospital

I went to KPJ Damansara , nearby ( i had above average experience in past with KPJ)

after basic emergency procedure i was sent for CT Scan and later was informed i have Chronic sinusitis and there is a pollyp

Right after that doctor advised since its Chinese new year doctor is on leave but if you are not feeling well you can get admitted and He will make sure ENT doctor will come the same day .

Doctor came the same day , i was admitted for 4 days there , with antibiotic and nasal steroids started to feel better .

Dr Awal Hassan told me if I do surgery that would be the ultimate resolution since the polyp is there .

I dont know if there was communication gap or what , I was not really satisfied with his consultation , though he is a good doctor and have a huge line of patients all the time , but didnt fancy me .

I asked him for a discharge and promised if anything goes wrong i will be back for surgery . I wanted a second opinion .

i took 2 days rest at home the facial pressure was coming back , so i found out through this forum about Dr. Koay Cheng Boon , I was willing to give a shot .

I scheduled an appointment and went to meet him ,

The first thing after he looked at my CT SCan Report and general check-up he told me there is no polyp .

and even if there is you can not tell from CT Brain scan which was done at KPJ , He advised you have sinus problem and you should do CT Sinus Scan .

which made sense to me , so i did and i got Radiology report there is no polyp , but there is infection which needs attention

DR KCB very straight forward , experienced and confident advised , we normally go about following antibiotics process but you have already been on antibiotics i think you should go for surgery , He convinced me and i got it done

its been a week and my Nasal dressing is out as well , I have a relief now , I can feel i am recovering and i will be much better than before .


Key takeaways from my experience

1 Always go for second opinion .
2. Be always skeptical about what hospital and doctor says , until they can satisfy you
3. Specifically for Sinusitis , every individual have different problem and different treatment , whats required or happend with somone might not happen with yo u
4. once you trust the doctor , trust him fully
5. Always Search lowyat forums for answers

biggrin.gif

if anyone need references , my reports i am happy to provide , at one point i was thinking to complain about KPJ to MMC , but i really dont want to get into trouble , that why sharing my experience in lowyat to aware all of you , just to be informed ,



I will definitely recommend Dr Koay Cheng Boon and Sunway Medical

Seriously I dont know why anybody care about his personal life .

I just had a very good surgery experience with Dr. Koay Cheng Boon .

My case was i had sinus headaches time to time , then after recent haze in malaysia i had flue twice followed by serious Chronic Sinus .

To be honest I am kind of person who will avoid doctors , medicines and hospitals at max .

So it was really worst facial pressure and pain and i had to go to the hospital

I went to KPJ Damansara , nearby ( i had above average experience in past with KPJ)

after basic emergency procedure i was sent for CT Scan and later was informed i have Chronic sinusitis and there is a pollyp

Right after that doctor advised since its Chinese new year doctor is on leave but if you are not feeling well you can get admitted and He will make sure ENT doctor will come the same day .

Doctor came the same day , i was admitted for 4 days there , with antibiotic and nasal steroids started to feel better .

Dr Awal Hassan told me if I do surgery that would be the ultimate resolution since the polyp is there .

I dont know if there was communication gap or what , I was not really satisfied with his consultation , though he is a good doctor and have a huge line of patients all the time , but didnt fancy me .

I asked him for a discharge and promised if anything goes wrong i will be back for surgery . I wanted a second opinion .

i took 2 days rest at home the facial pressure was coming back , so i found out through this forum about Dr. Koay Cheng Boon  , I was willing to give a shot .

I scheduled an appointment and went to meet him  ,

The first thing after he looked at my CT SCan Report and general check-up he told me there is no polyp .

and even if there is you can not tell from CT Brain scan which was done at KPJ , He advised you have sinus problem and you should do CT Sinus Scan .

which made sense to me , so i did and i got Radiology report there is no polyp , but there is infection which needs attention

DR KCB very straight forward , experienced and confident advised , we normally go about following antibiotics process but you have already been on antibiotics i think you should go for surgery , He convinced me and i got it done

its been a week and my Nasal dressing is out as well , I have a relief now , I can feel i am recovering and i will be much better than before .
Key takeaways from my experience

1 Always go for second opinion .
2. Be always skeptical about what hospital and doctor says , until they can satisfy you 
3. Specifically for Sinusitis , every individual have different problem and different treatment , whats required or happend with somone might not happen with yo u
4. once you trust the doctor , trust him fully
5. Always Search lowyat forums for answers

biggrin.gif

if anyone need references , my reports i am happy to provide , at one point i was thinking to complain about KPJ to MMC , but i really dont want to get into trouble , that why sharing my experience in lowyat to aware all of you , just to be informed ,
I will definitely recommend Dr Koay Cheng Boon and Sunway Medical
*
He is good, no one said he's not good, I used to go to him for a couple of years for my sinus problem too but there were others saying that he is arrogant and doesn't explain much to his patients. If you do a search here u can find bout it too.

I am one of those who recommended Cheng boon to the others in this thread mind you. But even during those times years I've been visiting his clinic. I know and have heard that his brother is a lot better than him but it's just too expensive cuz his clinic is in gleneagles.

Again I repeat Cheng boon is good but his older
bro is just better in terms of skills and attitude as well

Hi all,

Has anyone heard of Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI)? Is the procedure available in Malaysia?

Information I got from the web were all foreign cases. I am suffering from a total hearing loss due to nerve damage and want to consider this procedure to gain back hearing.

Can anyone share some guidance where I can proceed?

Usually ppl with sinusitis have symptoms like stuffy nose, blocked nose, blowing ur nose during sleep, ear pain etc etc. none of us here are doctors so it's best to get ur self checked by a specialist

Pls refer to the attached picture which i took from the latest Sunway Medical Centre Patients Handbook.
You can check out their website and check the available ent doctors which could perform the procedure you need.

I dont think clinic would be sufficient, best to see and ent specialist so they could scope with a cam and really see the issue and diagnose it correctly the first time.

Dr Koay Cheng Eng was my ENT doctor in Sunway Med. Just an update on what happened to help those who need it.

I was admitted in January for two procedures Septoplasty (for Deviated Septum) and Turbine reduction.

After the surgery, i woke up to a sort of flat nose, freaked out and complained to Dr Koay about it. He took a look and told me that the Septoplasty might have be overly done caz my septum was very NOT straight. So of coz i asked him if i could fix it immediately since it looks bad, and after a day he agreed to do another surgery to push it up- Rhinoplasty if not mistaken.

After a week i was out of the hospital, and started recovering at home. The first month i would say, i still had some congestion, caz of the stitches (auto dissolve) mucus gets stuck on my nose and dries up so it blocks the air flow. Had to keep blowing and i think i may have blown too hard at times. After i couldnt take it anymore i told him to remove the stitches, which he did, and it was ok after that.

Since then, i had have good air flow with no congestion or sinus attacks for roughly 3-4 months. However recently, my nose has started to become blocked again. I suspect that the turbinate (whatever u call it) may have regrown causing it to block the air flow. I have to either take anti histamines or use the strong nose drops. Normal sprays like Nasonex wont work.

Anyways im thinking of seeing another ENT for second opinion now. Any suggestions? Someone in SJMC would be good, nearer to home.

Thanks.

my ent doc is dr koay cheng eng too.. i am still recovering from the surgery he did on me last week.
what i had was deviated septum/chronic rhinitis and allergic rhinitis..
i have been using a lot of nasal decongestant spray since the last 2 years and finally decide enough is enough and i really need to do the surgery..

airflow is good right now(previously my left nostril was blocked 95%) and i cant feel the stitches. the surgery fixed only 1 part of my problem.
the other part of my problem is allergic rhinitis, any external elements like dust, pollen, oil vapour and smoke could trigger my inner nose to swollen up..
right now i am on prednisolone, a steroid based anti histamine to stop my nose from getting swollen but i'm pretty sure it will return once the prednisolone stops..

i believe what you are experiencing is the same as me, you might have allergic rhinitis too.. using anti histamines are really only short term solutions as they inhibit the inner nose from getting swollen, not resolve the issue why it gets swollen in the first place.. i have been reading some local papers promoting a vegetable based supplement that could help sufferers of allergic rhinitis, the supplement is called nuvalectranal.. i will be trying out this supplement soon after my next check up with dr koay.. i would suggest you check with your ent doctor too whether nuvalectranal or some other allergic rhinitis medication is needed for your blocked nose.. the key thing is to ensure the medication fixes the root cause of the swelling, not just blocking the symptoms/swelling..

attached are the paper article i read last week regarding allergic rhinitis..

yes sometimes left is blocked some time its right side, it depends which side gets irritated and swollen up.. some times both oso swollen at same time..
best is to see an ent specialist and diagnose your issue properly..
if you do not need surgery than you could go straight to medication to remedy your problem..
as for me i needed to do the surgery first before addressing other issues through medication..

Hey guys, I have had this buzzing sound and decreased hearing on the right ear. I went to clinic just now, seems like there is some inflammation in the ear but the doctor asked me to go for an ENT scan.

I am from Penang, currently staying in PJ. Not really familiar with the hospitals in klang valley, any recommendations? It seems like the pricing for the scan is around RM200-RM300, it would be great if anyone can recommend a more budgeted one.

Been suffering slight hearing loss since yesterday. Felt there's a vacuum in my right ear. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with my right ear? Could it be ear wax blockage or etc?

Am planning to go a doctor for a checkup around kl area. Any recommendations? Dr khor or hukm or others? Hopefully it won't be expensive as I'm still a student.

Thanks in advance for the help! smile.gif

I have searched through Internet bout which doctor I should visit , somehow my options go to these two doctors, which are Dr. Lim Seh Guan from Loh Guan Lye hospital and Dr. Ng Hee Hua from Lam Wah Ee hospital. I would like to ask which doctor is better and do you have any impressions about these two doctors.

I had the exact same symptom as above but I recovered after I've been to Dr Khor whereas the GP failed me. Was sick for a week until I visited Dr Khor.

A little bit of Dr Khor from my viewpoint:
He is good.
I went to him because I was suffering from fever and very painful sore throat for a prolonged time - about a week. Seen a GP but wasn't recovering.
Somewhat from hearing me speak only, he is able to diagnosed my problem is with my nose then only he prompt me to the endoscope and CT scan. That brief moment I was trying to tell him my symptoms but I don't think he's taking in what I'm saying also.

The way he talk does give a streak of impatience or lansi but not impolite.
I don't know how to describe it.
Maybe it is just the way he communicates, direct and straight but not with proper connecting sequence.
Imagine hearing that you need an operation to cure your sickness after diagnosis without first knowing what is wrong, why it happens and why requires operation.. these kind of sequence is missing.

I planned to visit Dr. Koh Tat Ngee from Gleneagles soon. It is not that I don't trust Dr. Khor but it is what people always said to look for 2nd opinions. After all, Dr. Khor wanna cut me up which is no small matter of taking medicine only.

Anyone can share something about Dr. Koh Tat Ngee?
*
Did you go and meet Dr. Koh Tat Ngee and if you did is he any good?

I am diagnosed with a polyp in my nose by Dr Raymond Tan Suan Kuo and he recommended to do a radiofrequency treatment to reduce the size of the polyp and perform a septoplasty and right FESS.

Anybody have an experience with Dr Raymond Tan before?

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.

Dr Koay Cheng Eng (the brother of the much-mentioned Dr Koay Cheng Boon) is very good. He is soft-spoken and has a lot of empathy. By the sounds of it after reading of others' experience with Dr Koay Cheng Boon, he's very different from his brother.

Dr Koay Cheng Eng now operates out of Sunway Medical Centre, no longer out of Gleneagles. (Dr Koay Cheng Boon seems to have run into some... "legal problems" so Dr Koay Cheng Eng has taken over his brother's clinic there.) Dr Koay Cheng Eng has solved sinus problems for so many of my family members. Be prepared to wait a while to get to your turn to see him though, he's very popular.

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. icon_question.gif

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 laugh.gif

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.

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. 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?

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???!!!!!

http://www.medeguide.com/ong-chun-chiang

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.

You did your deviated septum surgery under local anesthetic? Mine was under general anesthetic.. nasal polyps and deviated septum. It was horrible but at first but I guess I felt fine after quite sometime. Now my I've been getting re-occurring nasal congestion again, how's the fee that Dr. Khor charge for first visit?

Thanks!

If i think back , long ago i had episodes of tinnitus and it'll just go away. Never recall any exposure to loud noises before.

Yes last time when i sit alone in the car, i can hear high pitch ring and i thought it was just white noise. sometimes alone in my room also i can hear it but i didnt pay any heed to it. Come nov 2016, i bought an active noise cancelling headphone, Bose QC35 and started using it around dec and on and off i can hear a high pitch ring but as usual i wasnt bothered at all. but after this year's cny, i had major sorethroat, flu and cough for 2 weeks and that's when the ringing got more obvious to me. everyday i'd be hearing it when im in the office at night when there's not many people (i work night shift) and this made myself away of that sound everywhere i go esp when i left for a biz trip in Manila for 2 weeks. everytime i enter the hotel room the ringing sound is there

could my tinnitus be exacerbated by qc35? did a google around about ANC headphones and tinnitus and i see quite a number of ppl are blaming it. because of the episode after CNY and Manila, i asked my friend who's a GP for ENT recommendation and she suggested Dr Sushil. he checked my ear, there's ear wax build up on my right ear, got it sucked out and now i'm on betaserc meds and i'm due for a hearing test next monday. so far i'm on my 3rd day of meds and i dont see any improvement.

any ideas?

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.

After see ur post now I understand why... I feels like I am seeing 2 different doctors which is twins brother, haha!
You are true, sometimes he is very nice person, patient and caring.
Sometimes he is like what the other said, want to chase you out of the room, don't want to answer the questions.
He even told me he has too many patients today when I tried to ask more question, hint me I should stop asking and get out from the room....

try being the last patient of the day where there's very few patients (1or 2) after you. He'll be giving you a lecture on the area that you have problem with. blink.gif blink.gif

i went with a friend and he stood there pointing to picture frames that he has hanging on the wall and slides and he was explaining everything thoroughly.Very informative but he was quite sarcastic that day as well.

Was in his clinic for quite some time listening to his lectures.

Haha.. I went like few weeks ago, he didn't really want to explain much and straight ask me if I want to schedule for my surgery. Sometimes I wonder if sinus infection is due to low immunity because I was cleared for quite sometime and recently, I'm having runny nose again.

Under which doctor? Yea, heard a lot of good reviews about Sunway's ENT .. KCE?

He explained too much to me, but at the same time insist on doing surgery. He even say he can give 1 week MC to rest if i do surgery, hard sales surgery LOL! I asked him if surgery can fix sinus for good or will it re-incur, he say still depends on your living environment. Then whats the point of doing surgery shakehead.gif

By the way, when you went, alot of patients?

Same advise he gave me more than 15 years back, insisted on surgery but i refused so everytime my sinus acts up, i'll go back to see him and get medication and at the same time listen to him bugging me for surgery. in the end where there's too many problems related to the damn nose popped up. I gave in and went for the surgery. But it is true also, if you ask around enough or do some research online, it is all about ur living enviroment (dust etc) that affects ur sinus

after the surgery, all my nose related problems gone for about 10 years ( it will grow back ) and now my sinus is acting up again, snorting like there's no tomorrow in an air conditioned room. My room isn't well ventilated cuz dust comes in easily and every night i'm having problems with my nose.

Safe to say that why he insisted on performing surgery is to tackle to problem once and for all. Sinusitis is fairly common problem and those with severe discomfort from that will benefit from the surgery. And of course doctors earn more performing surgery rather than selling medicines but for me I have saved alot more having the surgery rather than paying for consultation and medicine and wasting my time visiting the clinic.

Bear in mind sunway medicines are very expensive, I'm also a patient of KCE (Very good doctor)

not low immunity la but more to your living enviroment. try being in a dusty area for a while or sleep in an air conditioned room for the entire night with low moisture level then ur nose will start to act up again. THat Dr khor specialize in removing that tissue (sinus related) so if you want him to perform it for you he's quite skilled at that. Its been 10 years plus since i last removed and it has grown back and every now and then i am contemplating having to go for the surgery again so that i can live easier instead of every morning having to deal with my nose but the thought of post surgery puts me off

The day it happened there was a loud ringing sound but now there is a little but not that noticeable. Only the feeling of numbness/blocked.

I'm a bit tight this month in expenses. Also if my parent know I did such stupid things they will scold me.

That depends, I too had my sinus removed but I had to as it was giving me alot of problems. At first Dr.Khor suggested that i should remove it and the problems will be gone and i refused as I am afraid of operation. Nearly every 2 months I had to visit the ENT due to various problems and in the end I gave in and had my sinus removed. Heck, I have never felt better and all the problems were gone for a couple of years. Dr Khor performed the operation on me and his fees were very reasonable like 2k-2.5 only.

If it were done by dr koay, it will cost alot more.

the 2k-2.5k that was paid for the operation was worth it as i saved on the amount of times i have to visit the ENT to get myself treatment and the time wasted on travelling.

I would suggest Dr Khor as the price is not expensive at all for an ENT and he is good.

yes it did, I am told it will grow back in like 10 years time or so after removing it, dont feel much at all and not giving me any problems lately (touch wood!)

I am using an air purifier in my room just in case but it has been a couple of years, problem free from sinus related issues.

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.
*
Honest opinion about Dr Koay Cheng Eng based on personal experience :
Visited Dr Koay Cheng Eng as well, like what others mentioned, he is soft spoken and love taking photos, probably for his own before and after comparison. Overall was okay but not to the extent of excellent. When it comes to diagnosis he may not be very knowledgeable and would appeared to be impatience and a little frustrated when he's unable to share more information when asked more in details. He has attempted to provide information which I have relied on but later found to be outdated. I highly recommend everyone to get second or third opinion other than relying purely on his advice, be it advice for surgery or further diagnosis like MRI, CT or X-ray scans unless the issue is urgent. Because sometimes, these surgeries and scans are not compulsory for our case. Unnecessary surgeries or scans might bring more harm than good. I'm not a medical professional but would like to advise everyone to always get second opinion and do your own research before taking the next action as it maybe irreversible.

How much it cost for a sinus operation nowadays? Had sinus since prime school and had been travel to many countries in recent years, while i'm in some country with fresher air like Korea, Europe etc, i felt totally refresh like a different person, clearer mind and better concentration. Seriously felt like sinus is affecting everything in my life.

Yes. Any surgery is major, and it is certainly advisable to take a 2nd opinion. Apart from taking 2nd or 3rd opinions from other specialist, personally I believe it is the patient who will know best on his own condition since it is his own body. You only consider a surgery to correct a problem if it is severe or are experiencing discomfort or pain in the long run and affecting your everyday life. Or when the surgery is required to prevent a potential cancer from developing to critical stage etc. However, if the problem is not life-threatening and minor, the person should be aware as the nose or throat is his/her own body, and he/she can judge whether a surgery is required to treat the issue or not.

In my view, any surgery is best avoided unless absolutely necessary as there will always be a risk no matter how small it is when a person goes under the knife.

Hi, everyone, have u been suffered on below symptoms
Dry painful inside nose bridge,    nose feels so uncomfortable for strongly smells like mint, chili,chemical, lemons , no runny nose but got mucus on sore throat, got sinisitis
I took a lot of medicines but my nose getting  worse.i think this is because l'm hurting my nose accidently when washing my nose.l'm very scare to use nasal spray anymore this will cause nose more dry. Any suggestion and opinion?
*
What kind of nasal spray or brand is it?
I am aware that every individual has different sets of problems and what contributes to it, I will try to share my experience as short as possible with detail.

i have allergic rhinitis and it got worse during work (in restaurant with open door) tar road patching, next door paint/renovation job and haze. All these 3 happened back to back which worsened my sinus condition, I am allergic to perfumes, smokes and strong odors and people burning rubbish in my neighbourhood frequently was terrible for my condition. When I smell them I get runny nose, phelgm build up and coughs and often followed by fever. i also had really bad tonsilitis and my tonsil never healed normally so it became chronic tonsilitis and this caused me to get sick easily, having allergic rhinitis with chronic tonsilitis pretty much cause me to get sick very frequently, my coughs can last more than 2 months. I went to clinic anytime I got sick, they just gave me antihistamine pills and cough syrups. It takes more than a month to recover from blocked sinus and coughs. i even asked the doctors from my clinic if i should remove my tonsil and they said dont need. 4 months ago I got ill and it was worse than ever, both my nose was blocked to the point i cant breath and my chest hurts so much from coughing, it was hard for me to get sleep too. i visited my clinic as usual. Got the same kind of medicine again but it didnt help after 2 weeks when it seem like it was clearing i got sick again. So this went on for about 2 months. I finally had it and couldn't take it anymore and despite the doctor from my clinic telling me there's no need to go hospital since it woukd be a waste of money and they dont think the doctor from hospital can do any differently about my case than what the clinic had provided so far. i wasn't going to trust the clinic doctor that I've gone to since i was a kid. I live in Klang. So I go to the nearesy hospital (Pantai Hospital Klang) and went for consultation from the ENT there (there's 2. The one I was reccomended to is Dr.Raj Kumar) first meeting was pleasant, he was very friendly he made me feel like an old friend, he asked me what I want, i said I want to remove my tonsil, he then ask why because he wanted to know the full detail and extent of my problem including my sinus problems and any problems that i can think of even if it may seem unrelated. HE then looked at my tonsil and was sure that I have to remove it (it looks bad) unlike the doctors from my clinic I felt that he was more genuine in trying to help me with my tonsilitis and sinusitis, he said he will help me do the surgery if thats what I want, but removing tonsil alone won't solve my problem so he said he wants to find the caused of all my related problems which is most important. So he prescribed me antihistamine (different ones than what my clinic gave. He asked me what kinds I have taken so far, so he gives a different kind) and he also gave me Nasonex, I have tried over the counter pharmacy nasal sprays and one the clinic doctors gave me, so i told him that, he says this is better he was very confident that Nasonex will help put my sinus allergy under control, he says it takes 2 week to take full effect he claimed that with this I can smell perfume, smoke or even dust it eont trigger my allergy. i went home feeling good about what he said. i was to return for follow up after 2 week, 1 week gone by I felt like I was getting better then suddenly I got fever and very bad blocked nose (my coughs was still going on) so i visited Dr Raj Kumar again, because my condition got worsed out of the sudden even after the meds he gave me this time his facial expression was different, he looked more concerned so he checked my throat and nose again and told me I had to take CT scan so he could find out for sure what is the problem. i took ctscan the same day and decided to get admitted (I had medical insurance so I was fortunate to be able to make that decision easily). Reault of ctscan came out and both my maxillary sinus ostium is completely blocked (the proper term was obliterated) This was the result of continuous inflamation, he said he can operate my sinus and that it can help relieve my problem abit (he stressed that it wont cure or fix my problem and that the surgery is just to make me more comfortable) i asked if it can grow back as many people have told me that there no point in surgery since the flesh will grow back and my cousin had surgery twice and it grew back, he said maybe but it will help.

So... Dr raj Kumar asked me what do I want to do since he can't perform tonsilectomy untill my coughs stops, if i want to go home or stay in the hospital, i rly dont know what else he meant if not go home then i stay in the hospital do what? So i jusy honestly said i want to get better. So he said ok theb he wil try his best to help me get better (clear my blocked nose and stop my coughs) that day itself he changed my prescription and gave me stronger medications (it was rly strong since it keeps making me drowsy, so i slept almost the whoe day for 2 days) I receieve intravenous antibiotics and antihistamines and Avelox (I have never had this before and doctors won't prescribe this if your case isn't severe enough). After 3 days My nose cleared up! I felt so much of the difference and my coughings lessened. i was so happy! If I had continue with what my clinic doctor gives me it would have taken a month to have the same result which only took 3 days! i was discharged and continued on the new prescribed medication for a week (avelox, bilastine, nasal decongestant drops, nasonex) It was amazing. After a week I did not have any nose blocked, the nasal decongestant worked like magic, and when i forgot to take my nose blocked lol... So i learned a lesson to not missed the medication time. I went for follow up and dr Raj Kumar says he's happy that the medication fibally works for me, and eventhough he keeps telling me "anytime i want to have surgery i can" he also reminds me but only when my coughing has stopped completely and untill I am stable for at least a week as he wants to prevent complication during and after surgery.

After another week, I finally had my surgery (removed my tonsil and minor surgery in my sinus) It was very successful, Dr Raj Kumar did an amazing job esspecially his prognosis from the first day I met Him, I trusted him all the way. I am so grateful to him and I only wished I have gone to meet him sooner then i could have saved 3 years of sinus and tonsil problem.

It has been 2 months post op. i am feeling great. I haven't gotten sick, I am only on Nasonex which was prescribe long term for me, Dr Raj Kumar said because of my sinus allergy I have no choice but to use Nasonex everyday since it isn't a condition that can be cured, but it can put my allergy under control since if sinus get inflamed over and over again can thicken the sinus openings, so I now use it everyday when I wake up, I was told to follow up for using nasonex after 6 months, I'll see how it goes, so far no problem yet. i forgot to mention how during my first 2 weeks of nasonex, one day i forgot to spray when i woe uo then I went out to hang my clothes and smelled the washing detergent from my clothes, my nose began running like leaking tap, I was wondering how come all the sudden when i was fine then I remembered omg nasonex! I came to realised how effective it was.

Also just 2 weeks ago I finally was able to go try out a korean bbq restaurant which is quite popular (Shinmapo), the first time I went I had to leave the restaurant immediately due to the smokes from the charcoal bbq, I am a huge foodie, I was rly upset I couldn't try it since it was reccomended highly by my sister and friends. But thanks to nasonex I can now enjoy korean bbq's and even walking through the detergent aisle in the supermarket and the perfume/fragrance counter in shopping malls without getting runny nose or phelgm build up.

This is my story up to this point, it already looked so long, I have more to say hahahah but I'll make it short I hope those who suffer the same problems as I do find my experience helpful. Please do consult with your doctors on the medications I have mentioned as it is a prescribed medications.

I do reccomend Dr. Raj Kumar (ENT specialist, Pantai Hospital Klang)

Not only did he helped me greatly, he is genuinely a nice and caring person. He even gives my mom free consultation on diabetis and also he's helping me with my high blood cholesterol. He's like a life coach to me too. It was unimaginable to have met such a good doctor, it was my first out of so many.
pls pardon my typos, I was doing it on my phone and my hand got tired from writing such a long post.

I just got charge RM500 for med + consultation fees from Dr. Khor , 180 for consultation while some people got it cheaper, I think maybe it is true from rumors that Dr. Khor charge accordingly to you financial situation (my dad wear a Rolex when accompanying me...) Dr.Khor has booked a surgery next week for me which I paid 300 for the deposit already and I willing to let it go for 2nd opinion but just wanted to ask if I really need a 2nd opinion or not. The surgery he told my dad that it would cost more than 10k ....

For those who visit Manipal Hospitals in Klang, here are my experiences on these two ENT doctors. No operation involved, just periodic checking of ears and cleaning of ears due to hardened wax. These are my observations based on the attitude or character of the doctors concerned.

Dr Muthu Kumar Murugesan
user posted image
Friendly and quite a talker. Talks a lot and cheerful. However, wasn't too thorough and careful with the cleaning of the ears which was done pretty quickly and at one point not very careful and caused a slight pain to my ear during cleaning. He said sorry.

Dr Arvin Balachandran
user posted image
Soft-spoken and more attentive to details. Cleaning of ears was done much more carefully and longer. While cleaning the ears, the video on the screen showed the tools slowly extracting the hardened wax inside my ears. All was done carefully and slowly as I watched the wax slowly being removed from my ears. Overall it was a very positive experience. In the end the doctor gave me some solution to dissolve the hardened wax which was useful. This solution was not prescribed during my appointment with Dr Muthu.

In summary, for general checking especially cleaning of the ears due to hardened ear wax, I surely recommend Dr Arvin. For other cases or major operation, no comment as I do not have experience for these cases. Nevertheless, if you want a cheerful, vibrant and loud talker, Dr Muthu is the man to go. If you want quiet, soft-spoken and more polished, Dr Arvin is the doctor to visit. Personally I prefer Dr Arvin and would recommend him.

Yes. Septoplasy, turbinectomy and FESS. Just that easy and solved all my problems. Im so glad and blessed with this Dr Koay Cheng Eng (the older brother) in Sumway Medical Centre. He told me it is a simple, straight forward surgery.1st and 2nd day go thru the IV drips., then perform surgery. I've attached photo of soft bones that caused me deviated septum, excess fats n polylps that has been removed from my nose. I never thought of my problem can be so solve so easily. What a big deal about go thru this surgery?!

Dr Koay Cheng Eng has also solved my the other two peoblem. I done my hemi-throidectomy on 2016 and had sudden hearing loss (SSNHL) on Jan 2017 which also being cured by him.

consultation and equipment usage can go up to rm 200 depending on what equipment being used. Medication is on the high side, very expensive imo.

Hi, I have dry and runny nose with some dry bloody boogers inside. I'm getting worried as I think there's tearing in my nostrils because of the bloody boogers (takut it gets worse) . I do have mild sinus, often sleep in air-cond room.

Any ENT specialists that you can recommend for consultations other than Dr Khor (Pudu) or Dr Koay (Sunway)?

I was told to check out for Dr. Michael Herg (Tung Shin) as well.

No wonder whenever I jog it's always inconsistent. One day i can do 5km the other i can't even do 2km without getting stomach cramp which I believe due to lack of oxygen

How much does the surgery cost for for private and government hospital?

Currently condition just like never did the surgery before...

I did this surgery twice.
1st time Normal FESS, after 1 month sinus problem came back
went for CT scan again, found a lot scar tissues building up, so he suggested for another round of surgery to remove scar tissues

then he just gave me some antibiotic everytime i see him and he wanna suggest for Balloon Sinuplasty which cost 12K+ which i rejected and never go back again.

1st - RM8K+
2nd - RM6K+

Chang Chew Ming is my former schoolmate.

He is quite alright and I had been seeing
him for many years, from the time when
he had a clinic in SS2 , sharing the premises with the famous dermatologist, also Dr Chang.

However, when he moved into Pantai
permanently, his cranky sister, Wai Kee, who runs the counter, has stopped
allowing me to see him for unknown reasons, telling me to go see Tan Lye
Suan instead.

I have yet to complain to Pantai about this.

I cannot recall the cost of the war wax removal although i could check the recordsin the file which isn't with me at the moment. Not expensive. I think It is below RM150. The procedure is not painful at all. It is mostly down to the skill and patience of the doctor. It was one of the most relaxed and comfortable experiences I've had with the ear wax removal, by Dr Arvin.

Have anyone visit ENT at Gleneagle KL / Prince Court KL/ Tung Shin before?
I went to Columbia and the doctor recommended me for surgery but I felt he just wants to push me for surgery.

besides dr koay from sunway, any good ENT specialist to recommend?

Been seeing ENT specialist since 2016. Reason for me to go to ENT is because my nephew hit me with his toys direct to my nose and it went bleeding non-stop. Went to ER at Assunta and got referred to ENT (Dr Saras) took an XRay and found out the reason bleed non-stop because of deviated septum.

I always have migraine and nose block issues and thought it’s just some normal sick didn’t know it’s because of my deviated septum causes all those sickness. Been follow up frequently about half a year and decided to have a procedure (Balloon Sinuplasty) for better air flow (able to claim company insursnce).

It was great until recently I have start facing nose block again, went back to my doctor and did some checks and found out I have another problem whereby allergy to dust which caused my chronic sinusitis always have tonsil infection, phlegm and fever. Undergo some treatment for my allergy it seems better, but still facing some nose block whenever I was about to sleep. Doctor suggest to have a sleep test to monitor my breathing during my sleeps and the result is very bad and severe. Did try out CPAP mask but I didn’t like it and I can’t sleep well with it, not sure if I’m not used to it or what and I sounds like Darth Vader during sleep lol. Spoke to Dr Sara’s what are other option, she suggest turbinate reduction whereby to burn of some tissues for better airway.

Just done the procedure last week, and went back follow up with her this morning. I can breath much better and the doctor is very generous. She even gave her mobile number so we can contact her at anytime if I’m not feeling well or have any questions. I even recommeded her to my friends which face sinus problems and he’s seeing her since.

Not sure if you agree with me but I highly recommend her. I forgot to mentioned she’s specialise is allergies too.

ENT = Ear, Nose, Throat
those specialists covers all areas involving ear nose throat as they are linked.

but i also found out some are more specialize in some areas more than the others but any ent will be able to diagnose your problem.

i used to frequent 2 ent doctors but i found out that one of them has more specialization on one of the parts (Throat) and i went ahead with that doctor to perform my operation and it was over in 15 mins.

for example, i got these from 2 doctors and i wanted to have tonsillectomy. guess which doctor i went to?

its not to say the other doctor can't perform tonsillectomy. he can but just that the other most probably perform better as he focus more on that part.

For ear specialist, I greatly recommend Doctor Chang from Pantai Hospital, he and his assistant has been very polite.

Got my right ear stuck and went to see the doctor, and I was asking so many questions as Im nervous to see all those odd-looking tool that he is going to insert into my ear.

But the doctor has been friendly, answering all my questions patiently.
Greatly recommend!

Hi all, just wanted to share an embarrassed experience.

On end of Jan, i accidentally stuck by fishbone. Then i try traditional method like bread, water, vinegar and it did not go off. After two days i went to see ENT in KPMC puchong. The ENT "specialist' try to look for it by using a wooden stick to press my tongue. But i automatically gagged and the "specialist" look like tak puas and ask me how to check, he then simply give me a difflam forte and say maybe it was just a scratch. Then i went to a GP and the GP also suspect the same thing (maybe just a scratch) but still suggest me maybe go to another ENT specialist and check since i gagged so much and he couldnt check as well. The GP prescribe me some basic sore throat medicine, vitamin C, amoxicillin.

After a few days, the sore throat did go away, and i did not few any discomfort and pain during swallowing. So the i also think maybe it was just a scratch.

After few days later, the sore throat came back, along with nose block. I then go and see the GP again, and GP suspect maybe the bacteria haven clear finish yet. So again he prescribe me another antibiotic and all.

The sore throat and nose block came and go, came and go for three weeks. Some of the night, i even feel hard to breathe. Until one midnight, i can clearly feel my throat swollen. I then checked o the mirror. Half of my throat is clearly swollen, Left side of the uvula is expand till half while right side is normal. I then quickly in the morning take MC and look for GP again, he suggest me go see ENT better.

The next day, i booked UMSC Dr. Zul (my cousin recommend de), in the evening. Dr Zul also tried to use wooden stick method but i gagged as well. He calmly said :"Never mind, we try other method, using scope." He then insert the scope through nose, it feel strange. Then he realise there is a tinyyyy littly fish bone on my right tonsil. Then i finally realise, all these sleepless night and terrified sore throat is caused by a fishbone. This fish bone is in my throat for more than a month. The doctor suggest need take out fast as it has caused serious bacterial infection. And since i gagged so much, i need to undergo general anesthetic.

After that, Dr Zul prescribe me some cetirizine (allergic drug) and cefuroxime (antibiotic). My sore throat then clear within few days. But still, my nasal passage is still block, so until now i still need to take cetirizine once every day to slowly clear the block. Dr Zul said maybe its cause by allergy, not sure. Besides, he also suggest to exercise more. All of these happen before, during and after CNY.

Moral of the story, please dont take fishbone lightly. If ever stuck, please do check with PROFESSIONAL ENT specialist. This tiny, little, not-hurtful fishbone almost cost my life. Please do check thoroughly and do make sure no foreign body is stuck.

So, I do recommend Dr Zul, he is quite patient and he has a willing ear. Willing to share his thought and willing to answer.

No didnt get a doctor but PTL... one day it just went away all on its own. During my research, alot of doctors dont know about PET and they give wrong diagnostics.. but your symptoms does not sound like PET... more like some water stuck in there.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Looks like I'm answering my own thread. Finally opted to go with Dr Sushil Brito of SJMC. Very down-to-earth doctor from first impression, and although seemingly full of energy and busy with patients keep calling him on the phone including one Datin who asked to see him, he took the time to explain all questions I asked, rather patiently unlike some doctors who will rush it through and not seemingly interested to explain in detail especially Dr Koay Cheng Eng. Recommended, based on first impression and demeanour shown.

Will be going for septoplasty surgery and some other procedures to correct the issues.

I not sure is there any one still look at this post. I just try my luck. Would like to get some opinion. I visited Gleneagles, Dr Tham, he told me my throat have a mass, ask me proceed operation to remove it. He insist for it.
Then I visited Dr Zul in UM, he told me just swelling. Not a mass. I also confuse. What should I do now ?
Each visit cost me around 1K. My company outpatient visit only 3K limit.

Somebody suggest me Prince Court, Dr Yeo.
I also see this post, seems UKM also a good choice.
Would like to have suggestion.

Hi, I need to do a biopsy to see if I have NPC cancer, can anyone suggest which government hospital is the best place to go in terms of cost/efficiency?

Thanks a lot for the help.
