I've had experience with Dr. Chan Kin Yuen. He was my surgeon when i did my ACL Reconstruction on my knee in SDMC 3 years ago. I'm comfortable with his service and work. Nice doctor and offer good advice.
My knee has fully recovered or at least 95% recovered. Reason being, i did not follow up with the physio treatments after my surgery.
Dr. Chan is specialize in sports injury.

QUOTE(officenutmeg @ Oct 24 2012, 03:20 PM) Hi, i would like to know how much it cost for your surgery in SDMC? both knee or only one side? or anyone know how much it cost for Knee replacement Surgery, one knee or both, it is for patient above age of 60. I only did it on one knee. It cost me about RM21k then with everything included (MRI Scan, Hospitalization for 5 days etc). Regarding the knee replacement, i've known of a relative who did hers in Sri Kota Medical Centre (SKMC) about 3 yrs ago. She ordered the 'part' from US and did the surgery in SKMC. Not sure about the cost but i'm quite sure it's not more than RM20k.

QUOTE(officenutmeg @ Oct 25 2012, 10:06 AM) thanks for the info. i went to Pantai KL last few week to see Dr Kok Choon Seng. He said the cost for Knee Replacement roughly RM28K for one knee. considering and comparing price of 3 years ago versus now, it should be ok?? reasonable? what do u think? by the way, i check in SDMC website, this website published the cost of surgery also: http://www.simedarbyhealthcare.com/medical...ement-bilateral not sure if this cost is for current year... the single knee cost RM25K. Heard that Dr Suresh George is more "famous" and experience in terms of knee surgery.... still considering which doctor to see................. It's good to know you are doing your homework before deciding on your option. Frankly speaking, i'm in no position to comment which surgeon to look out for and if the cost is reasonable. You are right that over the years, the medical cost would've probably escalated to where they are now. I believe as long as you feel comfortable and happy with the consultation session with the said surgeon, you have probably decided within yourself on who you'd place your trust on. Good luck to whoever going for the surgery and wish him/her a speedy recovery.
