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..

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.

i've consulted many GP friends, all of them don advise going for FESS because they said most of the time, it'll come back.
all the best and hope u can resolve ur issue soon. it can get pretty annoying.

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.

ermm based on what i heard, he should be saying out of 10 patients, maybe 4 will be the lucky ones. :|

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.

yeah, i went there once and he fixed me up. now i got another issue, first time experiencing this - my ear pressure cannot seem to 'pop'. donno wat is happening. thinking of dropping by dr khor but ....insurance cannot cover sad.gif

anyone knows what is the operating hours for Dr Khor ? Weekend closed?
