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



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
