Reviews
Ms Tan fitted me into her clinic very quickly based on my history and symptoms. My operation was two days later which was also a fit in due to the urgency of my condition which was worsening each day. Her bedside and theatre manner was exemplary and gave me great confidence in the theatre and the team. The operation was a success and achieved its declared objectives most efficiently and I am now on the road to recovery thanks to Ms Tan's immediate response.
Very appreciative of Carol’s clear and direct approach and language. Vagueness at a time of high stress isn’t helpful and I was delighted with Carol’s frank discussion, thorough diagnostic plan and subsequent potential course of action.
A huge thank you to Miss Caril Tan. She is brilliant and provides an excellent service. I couldn’t wish for a better consultant to treat me. She explained everything to me in easy to understand terms for a non-medical person. Her knowledge, experience, thoroughness and care for her patients gave me lots of confidence. She is exemplary and marvellous. Maria
Saw me despite being very late, still gave me enough time and didn't feel rushed. Came out with an action plan.
Overall I was impressed by the cleanliness of the hospital. I was seen promptly and all staff I encountered were courteous and efficient.
I have immense gratitude for Miss Tan. Her work on my Thymectomy and follow up appointments has been second to none. I can only recommend. Forever grateful. Excellent bedside manner and friendly clear approach to the pre-op, the actual operation and post op appointments. I felt very secure in Miss Tan's hands.
