Patient reviews
UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE in KPJ KUCHING! AVOID consulting DR. FLORENCE (PD) for your kids and Dr. Wendy (Gynae). I gave birth at KPJ Kuching, and their service was shockingly poor—a far cry from my experiences at KPJ Sabah. Doctors’ Services: Dr. Wendy: Everything felt rushed, lacking detail and interaction. Imagine waiting a long time only to have a consultation that lasted less than 5 minutes—if you’re lucky, maybe 10 minutes. She seemed to prioritize quantity over quality. During the consultation, She was always busy writing on paper, barely making any eye contact, and often opened the door and walk out from the room in the mid-consultation to speak with her staff, signaling that the session was over. I’ve experienced this multiple times, I am sure it wasnt coincidence. Honestly, it feels very rude and disrespectful. While I understand she has many patients, it’s her choice to take on that workload. Our consultation time should not be reduced, especially considering we’re paying RM90-RM100+ per visit. Because of this rushed service, I switched to Dr. Tan in my third trimester. With Dr. Tan, I finally felt respected as a patient; he took the time to thoroughly examine me and explain everything in detail. Dr Tan, I GIVE YOU 5 stars of professionalism, patience and detailed explanations! FYI: I’ve also consulted a well-known gynae in KK, Sabah, Dr. Felice Huang. Although she has many patients, I waited 1.5 hours and never felt rushed. She dedicated 20-30 minutes to each consultation, providing thorough checks and explanations. Dr. Wendy’s staff, SHARON : Unfriendly and Unwelcoming. Always black face like patient owe her money. I saw other complaints about her and I wonder why there is no action taken to her attitude? Dr. Florence: Her lack of professionalism and care was extremely disappointing. As my baby’s pediatrician, she neglected responsibility in several critical areas: 1. She didn’t inform us of the “angel kiss” birthmarks on my baby’s forehead and back of the head, only mentioning basic details like blood type and jaundice status when she first came to our room. We only noticed the marks after baby was brought in to our room. 2. Even at the second review, she didn’t mention the birthmarks until we asked, and her response was simply, “That’s a birthmark,” without further explanation on what caused it or if it would fade. Are we supposed to Google everything ourselves? We paid a consultation fee of RM60+, and this lack of detail is unacceptable. My frustration grew until one incident prompted us to switch doctors. Our baby had noisy breathing, and when we mentioned it, she DIDNT bother to check at all. She merely said the noise was due to the baby’s head position and would go away if adjusted. RM60+ paid for nothing—NO useful information, NO examination, and NO medicine given. Our poor baby actually had the flu, which worsened. After continued sneezing and coughing, we switched to Dr. Lim and shared our concerns. He immediately examined our baby, diagnosed the flu, and prescribed medicine. If Dr. Florence had done her job properly, she could have diagnosed it sooner, saving us another hospital trip. *** Ward Experience: The nursing staff provided outstanding care, however, nighttime noise levels disrupted my ability to rest due to loud talking and laughter. Lobby Experience: KPJ Kuching's lobby lacks basic courtesy, requiring patients to open and close 🚗 doors unaided. Other hospitals, such as GH Kuching, BMC, and KPJ Sabah, demonstrate better patient care by providing staff or security assistance. Why KPJ Kuching fail to provide this basic level of care to the patients ? Overall, KPJ Kuching’s service was a huge disappointment. Even General Hospital’s service is more detailed and caring. * Stop responding with generic templates! Too many bad feedbacks about the staff’s working attitude. Take concrete action to enhance your services and address these ongoing concerns*

I had the pleasure of experiencing exceptional care from the Dr Florence & her nurses Marie & Zuriah & I can't recommend their service highly enough! From the moment we arrived, they were professional, compassionate, and genuinely dedicated to providing top-notch care. They took the time to explain everything in detail, making sure we felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. Their kindness and attention to detail went above and beyond, and we truly felt like we were in good hands. We were so grateful for their support and would absolutely recommend them to anyone in need of care.
