Miss Lwin was extremely pleasant, professional and thorough in her examination. She was generous with her time and efficient in every way. She put me at ease and was reassuring. I received my follow-up letter very promptly. Her PA was also extremely helpful. Thank you.

Miss Lwin was very helpful with explaining how the procedure would be done and explaining the risks and benefits of surgery and things I should look out for. She had a very friendly and approachable manner which made the whole process much less intimidating (as I am a little caution around needles).

I received excellent care throughout my recent procedure. From the initial consultation through to the aftercare, the treatment was professional and thorough. The surgical team was skilled and attentive, and the post-operative care instructions were clear and comprehensive. I felt well-supported throughout my recovery and would have no hesitation in recommending this practice to others.

My recent minor mouth surgery with Miss Lwin at Harbour Hospital was an excellent experience from start to finish. Miss Lwin was incredibly skilled, professional, and reassuring, making me feel completely at ease. The care I received from the entire team was top-notch. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend her and Harbour Hospital without any hesitation.
