Patient reviews

Fan Ivy

Posted on behalf of my mother, Madam Seow Ying Lai. “I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation for Dr Sankar’s incredible performance of robotic assisted TKR surgeries on both my knees which were successfully carried out 6 weeks apart. Prior to the surgeries, I suffered from immense knee pain and restrained mobility. His patience in explaining the scope of the surgeries and careful bedside manners were commendable. Based on my personal experience and safe recoveries from the two surgeries, I strongly recommend those, who are suffering from knee problems and related issues, to seek his professional advice and evaluation on the next course of action Thank you, Dr Sankar, for giving me not just new knees, but a renewed opportunity to walk, move, and enjoy life with greater confidence.”
