I found Dr Lim friendly and helpful. He remembered me from two years previously and was able to initiate a conversation about my business and interests. The procedure was carried out efficiently and painlessly and the results explained in simple laymans terms.
Dr Lim, was extremely helpful and explained everything very clearly, including next steps. I would highly recommend him.
Excellent quality of service Helpful, kind understanding
I felt my condition was examined very thoroughly and my test results were explained clearly.
Dr Lim gave me confidence with the procedure I was going to have.
I found the whole experience good. Dr Lim was brief but courteous. Reason for a 4 rather than 5 is that the investigation did not appear as thorough as my previous examination of this type and the explanation and the explanatory sheet after the examination was not as detailed.
Explained to me what my issues could be. Was very comforting and made me feel I was in good hands!
Dr Lim was most attentive during my explanation of the earlier events and provided a coherent scientific explanation thereafter.
I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Lim for gastroenterology or general medical care. He is a well respected colleague. We have had several shared patients over the years and he provides sound and sensible advice.
