Mediviron - try to avoid, owner is not from medical line and got the air of sterile 'business' to their clinics

think starbucks vs smaller coffee shops

Starting out as a freshie (private clinic) you will have months of very low patient numbers to the point you'll be bored as fuck but as your patient list grows so do your referrals from these patients. That's why those very old dirty clinics seem to be getting alot of pts vs those Cafe looking ones.

Also I notice alot of clinics that look more like cafés being opened in kuching. Like 80% of their capital went into interior design. I miss those old school clinics with tiles everywhere. You get a bleeding patient it's easy to clean. Try getting blood off your wood panels.

I promise you this, after I’m retired and out of active clinical practice completely, I’ll let you know.

Right now, there are not many doctors in my specialty so with /k’s immense talent at doxxing, I’d like to keep as anonymous as I can for now.

Yes. There's 1 clinic that I visited at Bukit Jelutong, Shah Alam.

The clinic is so fancy. Nowadays many clinics are making their clinics looks really fancy.

And these clinics are operated by owners who are trying to make it big then when the patient load becomes alot, they just get cheap ass locum doctors to take over. Profit.

Some clinics with normal civvies who aren't in medical line are already in on the sweet profit sharing pie.

First it was the dentist. Followed by pharmacy. Now doctors and even physiotherapists.

Its all about charging as much to the patients.

Your friend didnt sign up for panel companies?

they've been trying very hard to be approved for panel but keep getting rejected. most companies are happy with the panels they have so they are not looking to add any more clinics to the list.

To doctors out there that open your own clinic, how do you stay competitive and relevant with other clinics out there?

Example in Setia Alam, Shah Alam. We have tons of clinics in old part Setia Alam and in new area, which is Setia Taipan

I'm as a customer sometimes don't know which one to choose. My company medical can use in tons of clinics out there.

As a young guy, I end up choose popular chain clinics such as Klinik Mediviron, Poliklink Lourdes instead of choosing to go to Klinik Dr Razila, Klinik Dr  Tan etc etc

I feel that I trust more brand that have branch in different places instead of going to the clinic that I mentioned above.

ItHow about u all? How do u choose your clinic? Or you will simply go any clinic to get the medicine and consultation?  biggrin.gif

Chain clinics is the worst kind of all, i visited twice with cough, flu and fever and they didn't bother to diagnose with stethoscopes, just give out normal medicine and leave. If not because it is panel clinic by the company i won't visit at all.

Switch to private clinic owned by the doctor near my housing area, at least he check with stethoscopes and diagnose correctly.

i am friends with a couple who opened a private klinik. at first they were doing ok when they were the only klinik in the area. but then a bigger chain clinic opened and it was panel for many companies. my friends klinik lost out and can see them struggling to maintain their klinik now. i think their life is being supported by the wife working at klinik kesihatan during the day and working at their klinik at night.

Did they do FOMEMA?

The doctor i visited frequently told me FOMEMA is a good revenue source for clinic.
