Hospital Regency Pasir Gudang is indeed one of the best hospitals for me. I have been with this hospital for 12 years, and their service remains consistently good. Pediatrician Dr. Chang is very friendly, and her service is excellent. Dr. Rushdan, on the other hand, treats patients like family, making me feel very comfortable. Dr. Lim Huay Cheen is also the same, friendly and easy to deal with. In terms of service, cleanliness, tidiness, staff, and nurses, they are all truly the best. Everyone attends to patients with patience and full professionalism. There's just one thing to add… Parking lot. 😂 If more parking is added, this hospital would be a complete package.
