Chong Specialist Clinic (Mental Health) - 75200

The doctor is not caring towards his patient. His prescription making my conditions worse. Can't give detail explanation when I asked for more information. Besides, he doesn't want to know the root cause of the patient's illness. For example, when i told him that i have ptsd, he doesn't even care about how i developed it and didn't even ask for any question about my conditions. After i took the medications for one week. i developed some anxiety symptoms. So, my dad called the clinic . Instead of telling me to stop the medications, the doctor told me to take for another week when he knew that i really cant bear with the side effects anymore. The doctor is also quite arrogant as he keep mentioning that he is teaching in which university. A patient doesnt care about where you teach, we just care about the service that u provided to us. Overall, I don't recommend this doctor to others.

Dr. Chong is so much better compared to Dr. David MMC. He’s concerned about his patients and spent around 2hours time to know about patient’s progress. He’s also concern on one’s financial so he’ll usually suggest affordable medicine for maintenance. Dr. Chong will be at Pantai Hospital every wednesday but i don’t recommend going there bcz there are too many people. Normal waiting time is around 5hours. Go straight to his clinic to save time.

I recently went here for my psychiatry treatment and was seen by Dr Tan. In my opinion, this is one of the best psychiatry specialist clinic I have ever went to. The receptionist and staff dispensing the medications were very-very helpful, polite and courteous to answer any of my question in regards to the treatment given. Dr Tan is very empathetic to me, and he understand about the issues in regards to cost of the treatment as well as the continuation of the treatment not only in the short-term time period, but on a longer run. He’d even came out with suggestions and recommendations based on his knowledge and experience in order for me to get the best treatment plan. I actually really-really appreciate and thankful for his treatment and manner to me. The clinic also were located strategically in the Melaka town, and parking won’t be any problem at all for me. The clinic even have a wheelchair entrance and the waiting time also is very acceptable. In terms of the cost of the treatment itself, it is slightly cheaper as compared to other private psychiatry center. As a MD myself, here is some advise to those who wishes to see a psychiatrist,. As a patient, we need to disclose any symptoms, problems or complications arise from our own illness or if we suffered the side effects from medications prescribed to get a proper treatment. I do understand that it is psychiatrist duty to explore about our conditions, but psychiatrist are human too. They can interpret our behaviors and signs, but they can't read our mind. If we think that the doctor doesn't even ask or miss whatever things or issues that we thought were important, we can simply tell the doctors about it during consultation, not after we went back home and then started to complaint about the issues. Avoid getting consultation from phone calls. One more things, most of the time, medications use in psychiatry usually will take some times for our body to adapt. Doctors will adjust the dosage accordingly, just like in my case. In summary, I recommended this clinic to those who wishes to initiate the treatment in regards to mental illness. Of course I couldn’t disclose any information in regards to my treatment, but I am sure that the treatment provided is definitely worth it.
