Questions about neurosurgical assessment for Kuala Lumpur patients
Is KPJ Damansara in Kuala Lumpur?
It is in Damansara Utama, Petaling Jaya, which is in Selangor, just west of Kuala Lumpur. It is not in the KL city centre, so plan your route before the appointment.
I had a first seizure. Should I book a clinic appointment?
A first seizure should be assessed in an Emergency Department first. Once you have been seen, a neurosurgical review can follow if the scan shows a brain finding that needs a surgical opinion.
My scan was done at another hospital in KL. Can Dr Yee review it?
Yes. Bring the images on a disc or a digital link, together with the written report. The images matter more than the report alone, because the finding has to be matched with your symptoms and examination.
How do I book from KL?
Send a WhatsApp message to the clinic team or use the online appointment form. WhatsApp is for booking only and is not monitored for emergencies.
Can a family member join the consultation?
Yes. A family member is welcome to join, and it often helps to have someone else hear the explanation and the options.
