Patient reviews
I had a very good experience at Pantai Hospital. The staff member, Ms Liew Soon Thai from Lithotripsy department ,was very good, friendly, and very sporting. The team Daycare staff were all excellent and provided great care throughout my visit. I would also like to highly recommend Dr. Suresh, who was very professional and attentive. The hospital is very clean, and the environment is comfortable and pleasant. Overall, the service was excellent everywhere. I will definitely come again. Highly recommended!

Dr. Sivanatham is very good. The physiotherapists are also very good, especially Muhammad Faiz and Siti. Highly recommended for those with knee complaints or who are considering ACL surgery.

Had a terrible experience here. My first visit was a consultation and Dr. Suresh was distracted on his phone and a bit dismissive, but overall he reassured me that my lower back pain had a simple solution and his assistant would contact me in the next two days for an appointment. Two days pass and I don't get a call. I call them up and the operator informed me that the assistant would call me the next day. That call never came. I chalked it up to them being busy and waited for a full week, with no call whatsoever. After finally waiting that long, I gave them a call back today morning, and the operator was rude and told me that the assistant would call me back by days end, again that call never came. I am growing impatient, having waited for over two weeks without an appointment that was supposed to be set in two weeks. I think this shows the unprofessionalism of the hospital and I am just out nearly 300 dollars for the consultation fee. Would not recommend this place

I highly recommend both Drs and the hospital. During my admission, the customer service gave us a gift, and was really reaectful. Thank you ALTY, Dr Suresh, and Dato Siva.
