Patient reviews
My mother, Cindy Djoenaedi, came from Indonesia and successfully underwent bilateral total knee replacement surgery with Dr. Sivanathan Kanagarayar on 16 December 2025 at Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur. We truly appreciate Dr. Siva’s professionalism, as well as the excellent support from his clinic assistant, Rohana, who was very helpful throughout the medication and follow-up process. Our overall experience at Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur was very positive. From the moment we arrived, the hospital staff were attentive and welcoming. Officers were ready to assist us from the car and promptly provided a wheelchair when needed. During the X-ray examination, although the queue was quite long, the process was handled quickly, efficiently, and in an organized manner, which made it very convenient. During the inpatient stay, we felt well cared for and comfortable. The nurses and doctors were attentive, supportive, and professional, making the recovery period feel safe and reassuring. The admission and discharge processes were smooth, fast, and efficient, with minimal waiting time. Overall, I highly recommend Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur to anyone seeking medical treatment. The medical team is professional, the hospital environment is pleasant, and the level of hospitality and patient care is excellent.
