Patient reviews
Words can't fully express our gratitude to Dr. Leong. Our journey to becoming parents wasn't an easy one, and there were moments filled with doubt, tears, and uncertainty. But Dr. Leong walked alongside us through every step of our IVF journey with such compassion, patience, and genuine care. He never made us feel rushed or like just another patient, he listened to our fears, answered every question no matter how small, and gave us hope when we needed it most. I still remember how he reassured us after our first setback and his calmness and confidence gave us the strength to keep going. Today, we hold our precious little one in our arms, a miracle we once only dreamed of. This joy would not have been possible without Dr. Leong's skill, dedication, and heart. We are forever thankful to him and his wonderful team at Alpha for helping us build our family.

I am an international patient and underwent my first IVF cycle at Alpha IVF in April 2026 under Dr. Leong Wai Yew. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing, both in terms of the medical outcome and the overall standard of care. A total of 29 eggs were retrieved, but only 8 were mature on the day of retrieval, and only 2 of those fertilized successfully. Although another 12 eggs matured in the laboratory the following day, only one embryo was ultimately created from those late-maturing eggs. Despite retrieving 29 eggs, the overall outcome was far below expectations. After seeking opinions from several other IVF specialists, I was told that the trigger timing may have been a contributing factor. What disappointed me most was not just the outcome itself, but that when I asked Dr. Leong for an explanation, he repeatedly avoided addressing whether the treatment plan or trigger timing could have contributed. I was simply looking for an honest discussion to better understand what happened and to improve my chances in future cycles. My goal was to create enough healthy embryos for future family planning from a single retrieval. Instead, I now have to undergo a second egg retrieval cycle, which is both physically demanding and emotionally exhausting. While IVF outcomes can never be guaranteed, I cannot help but wonder whether a different treatment plan or trigger strategy might have resulted in a better outcome. The initial consultation process was satisfactory, but my experience changed significantly on the day of my ovum pick-up (OPU). The operating table appeared unclean and gave the impression that it had not been properly prepared between patients. The entire process felt rushed and impersonal, as though patients were being processed on an assembly line rather than receiving individualized care. After waking up from the procedure, I experienced severe throat pain and a burning sensation for several days, likely related to the airway tube used during general anesthesia. I also had significant bruising on my right hand at the IV site, which remained visible for over a week (photo attached). While I understand these can be known side effects of anesthesia, the severity made me question the standard of care during the procedure. I also encountered issues with the administrative staff. After I switched doctors during treatment, one cashier attempted to charge me twice for a doctor's consultation, resulting in an overcharge of approximately RM1,000. The error was only corrected after I questioned the bill and another nurse investigated it. Overall, I found the experience disappointing. Alpha IVF invests heavily in marketing and positions itself as one of the leading IVF centers in Malaysia, but my experience did not reflect the level of professionalism, transparency, or patient-centered care I expected. The fees charged to international patients are also considerably higher than many other IVF centers in Malaysia. Every patient's experience is different, but based on mine, I would encourage prospective patients to do thorough research, seek multiple medical opinions, and carefully consider all available clinics before making a decision.

Thank you to my doctor. Dr. Leong gave me the opportunity to become a mother. When I visited the doctor, there was no denying that my child and the doctor had a special connection. My child smiled as soon as he saw him.
