TESTIMONIAL
Hardian
I want to share my experience about my shoulder surgery. I had sought treatment for my shoulder issues three times before, but there was no solution at all. Finally, I consulted Dr. Chan Kok Yu. He explained that the tendon in my shoulder was swollen due to impingement under the bone in the shoulder. After the surgery, my shoulder no longer had any pain or discomfort. Thank you, Dr. Chan Kok Yu, for your excellent care and for providing me with good results and a full recovery. Dr. Chan Kok Yu is kind, patient, and provides the right solutions for his patients.

My 82-year-old dad underwent Robotic Assisted right knee replacement surgery under Dr Chan Kok Yu on 13/3/25. My dad was able to stand up the next day and was able to walk to the washroom with walker 2 days after surgery. He was already walking in the park 5 days after surgery on 18/3/25. Thanks to Dr Chan for the splendid work!

Since I have tried conventional knee replacement surgery on my other knee previously, I have noticed that robotic surgery has a faster recovery time that is worth it compared to conventional replacement.Dr Chan Kok Yu from Gleneagles Hospital Penang is amazing , very knowledgeable, provides insights for patients that want to understand the options, and follows up closely with patients properly and carefully. I highly recommend doing robotic knee replacement surgery with him.
