We had an outstanding experience at ALTY Hospital, and we cannot recommend it highly enough. A special, heartfelt thank you goes to **Dr. Wong Chung Chek**, a truly excellent spine surgeon. From our very first consultation, his patience and incredibly detailed explanations shone through. He was reassuring, crystal clear in his approach, and built the kind of confidence that completely put our minds at ease. It was his reassuring manner and professional clarity that ultimately gave us the confidence to move forward with the decision to proceed with the operation. We would also like to give a special mention to **Dr. Lee**, the cardiology specialist, who was incredibly approachable, friendly, and wonderful to speak with. The overall environment of the hospital was impeccably clean, modern, and highly organized. To top it off, the nursing team was fantastic—always friendly, deeply attentive, and ready to assist with a smile. Thank you, ALTY Hospital, for the world-class medical care and genuine compassion!

I came in with ongoing intense lower back pain and did lumbar artificial disc replacement under Dr Wong Chung Chek (Orthopaedic & Spine Surgeon), and experienced a great improvement on my lower back pain post surgery, which I had for many years now. Dr Wong is expertise in lumbar artificial disc replacement surgery and he had many experience of handling complex cases for such surgery. I was very confident with him in my first visit itself as he clearly explained my situation and all the outcomes that I can expect from my surgery. He also prioritised my safety in any procedure so that I will not go through any complications. Overall, Dr Wong is a very friendly and professional surgeon, and I highly recommend him for any orthopaedic or spine related treatment. I was also treated by Dr Lim Siu Min (Anaesthetist) in the OT, Dr Lim assisted my recovery throughout my stay in the hospital by visiting me daily to review my progress post surgery. Not to forget the physiotherapy team, Ms Shanthini (Physiotherapist) assisted by 2 trainees (Mr Ashraf & Ms Eithar), who took time to assess my condition properly post surgery. The exercises and treatment really helped with my ongoing recovery. They were very knowledgeable and supportive throughout the sessions. And yes, that’s my journey with spine surgery in Alty Orthopaedic Hospital, KL. I had the best team to treat me and I am very confident in my surgery and recovery in the coming months.
