I usually feel quite "paiseh" receiving gifts from patients. Doing what I do is simply my responsibility, and seeing you walk out with a smile and in good health is truly the best reward.

…But I just had to share this one. 🎾

A patient surprised me today with a bag of official Wilson US Open tennis balls. When a patient remembers your passion outside the clinic and shows appreciation in such a thoughtful way, it really hits different.

Truly made my week. Thank you for the thoughtful gesture—time to hit the court!

14 July 2026: The day we hit 100! 💯

It’s been exactly 15.5 months since we launched our respiratory ultrasound endoscopy services at Sunway Medical Centre Damansara

Compared to its gastroenterology counterpart (EUS), Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) is still a relatively under explored and underutilized procedure. Reaching 100 cases in just over a year is a massive milestone for a new centre, officially placing us in the high-volume centre for EBUS category!
