⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Dr. Kharthik and Nurse Nurul at Columbia Asia Hospital Setapak for the excellent care I received. After sustaining fractures and ligament injuries to both ankles, I was understandably worried and overwhelmed. Dr. Kharthik took the time to thoroughly explain my MRI and CT scan results, discuss the available treatment options, and answer all my questions patiently. What I appreciated most was that he respected my decision to seek a second opinion and never pressured me into making a rushed decision regarding surgery. A special thank you to Nurse Nurul for her kindness, professionalism, and genuine care throughout my treatment. Being unable to walk normally and having to rely on a wheelchair and crutches was challenging, but her support and reassuring attitude made the experience much easier. From admission to discharge and follow-up appointments, the entire process was smooth and well coordinated. I am truly grateful for the care and attention I received. Thank you, Dr. Kharthik, Nurse Nurul, and the team at Columbia Asia Hospital Setapak.
