Patient reviews
Service tip-top. The price is okay, just don't give birth on a weekend 😆. By the way, Dr. Rosy and Dr. Sum are the best. All the nurses were very helpful, and Lactation Nurse Puan Rahimah was very lovely. Everyone's care was like that of a mother. Thanks, guys…

I gave birth at KPJ Seremban on 29/7/26. Dr. Ivan took care of me and assisted well with my child's delivery. The pediatrician, Dr. Sum, was excellent in explaining about my baby. The staff in the labour room and Sri Menanti ward took good and meticulous care of me and assisted me well. Staff Rahimah helped me with breastfeeding. Thank you KPJ Seremban.

A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Ivan for going the extra mile during the delivery of our first child. My wife pushed for 2 hours straight, and your dedication and expertise helped us welcome our baby safely into the world. Thank you also to Dr. Sum for carefully monitoring our baby's condition after delivery, and to the entire medical team for your teamwork and support throughout the journey. Special thanks to Puan Rahimah from the lactation department for patiently guiding us on newborn care and breastfeeding. We are truly grateful for all your care, professionalism, and kindness. ❤️👶🏻🙏🏻

I just wanted to share my appreciation for the amazing experience I had at KPJ Seremban for my elective C-section. Dr. Rosy was really calm, professional, and reassuring throughout the whole process. She explained everything clearly and made me feel very comfortable and confident. Also, thank you to Dr. Sum (Paediatrician) for taking such good care of my baby. It really gave me peace of mind knowing my newborn was in safe and gentle hands. Not forgetting all the nurses and staff, especially from Wad Sri Menanti — you all were so kind, helpful, and attentive. From the moment I was admitted until discharge, everything was smooth and well taken care of. The team was always there when needed, and the service truly felt warm and sincere. Overall, everything was just really well handled and in the best condition. Thank you for making this whole journey such a positive and memorable one for me and my family. Highly recommended ❤️
