Had a very pleasant experience with Dr. Yega throughout my pregnancy and C-section journey. Before returning to Penang, I had follow-ups at two hospitals in KL, and later continued my follow-ups at Lam Wah Ee. Dr. Yega was by far one of the warmest and most helpful doctors I met. He made me feel comfortable, supported, and well taken care of throughout the journey. I’m truly grateful that he was the doctor who welcomed my baby into the world. Highly recommended! ❤️ P.S My sister and I were both under his care!

In 2025, I changed my maternity doctor from a reputable private hospital due to a disappointing experience. I used to queue as early as 6:00 a.m. to avoid the long waiting times for a well-known doctor, but after hours of waiting, I found that the doctor was not barely took the time to explain things properly or speak kindly. It was quite frustrating, especially for pregnant mothers who invest so much time and effort into attending their appointments. To make matters worse, the clinic staff often appeared with attitudes and grumpy expressions, which made the overall experience even less pleasant. I then decided to try Lam Wah Ee Hospital and chose Dr. Yegappan. To my surprise, the experience was completely different. Dr. Yega is kind, caring, approachable, and professional. He takes the time to listen, explain things clearly, and ensure that his patients feel comfortable, reassured, and well cared for. Another person I would love to acknowledge is Dr. Swaran Singh, the anesthesiologist. He was truly a gem throughout my delivery experience. From the moment I met him, he made sure I felt calm, reassured, and comfortable throughout the procedure. What touched me the most was that he even offered a prayer for me before the procedure began, which brought me a great sense of peace and confidence. His kindness, compassion, and professionalism meant so much to me during such an important moment in my life. Thank you, Dr. Swaran Singh and Dr.Yegappan, for being part of my delivery journey and for supporting me every step of the way. In addition, the service at Lam Wah Ee Hospital has been excellent. The waiting time & price is reasonable, and the overall patient experience is far more comfortable and welcoming. I highly recommend Dr. Yega, Dr. Swaran Singh, and Lam Wah Ee Hospital to any expectant mother looking for quality maternity care in Penang. Their professionalism, compassion, and patient-centered approach truly make a difference. Thank you for making my delivery journey such a positive.

I’m incredibly grateful to have had Dr Yega as my O&G throughout my journey, even before pregnancy. From the very beginning, he provided exceptional care, professionalism, and genuine concern for my wellbeing. He successfully operated on and removed my endometriosis cysts, and throughout the entire process, I always felt reassured and in good hands. During my pregnancy, which became more challenging due to high blood pressure and pre-eclampsia, Dr Yega continued to go above and beyond. He monitored my condition very closely and personally ensured that both my baby and I were well taken care of. His attentiveness, dedication, and calm approach gave me so much confidence and comfort during what could have been a very stressful period. I truly appreciate the care and support Dr Yega provided at every stage of my journey. His expertise, compassion, and commitment made a huge difference in my experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better doctor. I highly recommend Dr Yega to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and trustworthy gynae. Thank you, Dr Yega, for helping me through both my fertility and pregnancy journey with such care and dedication.

“I am truly grateful to have had Dr. Yegappan(G&O) as my gynaecologist throughout my pregnancy journey at Lam Wah Ee Hospital .He is extremely professional, humble, kind, and caring. He always takes the time to explain everything patiently and clearly, making us feel comfortable and reassured at every appointment. After enduring 18 hours of labour pain, my delivery unexpectedly turned into an emergency C-section. My husband and I were both worried, frightened, and overwhelmed. However, Dr. Yegappan remained calm and compassionate. He took the time to explain the situation, answered all our questions, and guided us through every step with confidence and professionalism. His dedication, expertise, and genuine care made a very stressful experience much easier for us. He treats his patients like family, and that personal touch means so much. Thank you very much, Dr. Yegappan, for bringing our little princess safely into this world and for taking such wonderful care of us. I highly recommend Dr. Yegappan to all mothers-to-be who are looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and compassionate gynaecologist.” ❤️🙏🏻🌷 Love From us : Vismen,Oma & Little Princess Kayrthinii.
