Dr Sim is a very caring, friendly, kind, attentive & an experienced doctor. She listens & gives good advice. Went for 2 scopes performed by her & it went smoothly with no pain. Got the results & she thoroughly explained through. The nurse, Sherlyn is also a very friendly, helpful & caring lady. She goes an extra mile to assist with the letter of guarantee from health provider, book appointments and also answers all my queries. She is super patient! The clinic has WA number & all my queries are instantly replied. I am super satisfied with their services. Kudos to them. Highly recommended!
