I was admitted to Aptus Surgery Centre on 30apr for an Arthroscopy on my ankle. The care and warm hospitality was well... received by all the staff I met.
Began with an early morning greeting from Ms Murni at reception;
the gentle and polite nurses Celeste Velasgruz and Venn Agnivaas at admission;
Senior nurse Ms Loo at attending the preparations;
Senior staff nurse Alvin Valdez assisting Dr Kelvin Quek at Anesthesia; they were careful and assuring as I was feeling tense.
Dr Quek was super nice, he felt my fear, told me to think of lovely thoughts as I was falling asleep.
Operating Theatre Attendant Nathaniel Reyes who was polite and nice;
Dr Chew Chee Ping & Dr Tan Ken Jin who skillfully operated on my ankle, repairing damaged ligament and cartilage.;
Not forgetting the two sweet and kind nurses at Recovery room, Margie Rulida & Michelle de laRosa, they were patient and caring of my well-being, taught me on using the clutches and after surgery care.
Michelle was most willing to accompany me at discharge in wheelchair, assisted me into the vehicle. It was my first experience with full a GA surgery and in view of Covid-19, no visitors was allowed in my day surgery but they had provided assuring tender care which a patient needs. I am very thankful to all of them. I hope their effort and dedication can be recognized and appreciated by their bosses.
Please take good care of yourselves, Angels from Aptusread more

Escaped from the overcrowded hospital, this is by far the best health care association I have been to, with attentive... service comparable with five-star hotels. I did a knee surgery today. Firstly I was attended to by the friendly receptionist who handled the administrations very swiftly. She answered my questions and conversed with attentiveness. Then I would like to special mention about the two nurses who took care of me during my admission, Anna Abigail and Viven Gonzaves. They are down to earth, conscientious and work with sense of urgency. For example, when I was in need of help, I pressed the call button, and to my surprise the next thing I heard was running foot steps towards my ward. If you have ever been to any other hospital before, you will know that this place is really just heavenly. All the staff I came across in this place are really genuinely caring and friendly. If you are a doctor, patient, or have any affiliation with Aptus Surgery Centre, I hope my commendation will supplement your decision in choosing them as one of your top surgery centres. Have a great day!read more

1) Location: Paragon very convenient and easy to find
2) Facilities: Had my own private room after the operation and... includes a safe cupboard, a tv, restroom with full amenities like shower and even toiletries
3) Service: Nurses were very friendly especially this nurse named Margi :) She even bought me macs after my op so I could rest and not have to go out for lunch
4) Hassle-free: They do the e-filing for your insurance so you won't have to do anything and just relax. Plus its all claimable from my insurance! :)
5) Add-ons: Comes packaged with ECG, chest Xray, urine test, blood test and Ultrasound scan for my op. All in one so I get a better idea of my general health as well.read more
