Dr Nada Child Surgeon (Kuala Lumpur)Dr Nada Child Surgeon (Kuala Lumpur)4.9★★★★★ Based on 227 reviews fromSee all reviewseddy chineddy chin ★★★★★ Highly recommended. Dr. Nada is very attentive and thorough.Simbar DubeSimbar Dube ★★★★★ My son recently had a keyhole surgery performed by Dr. Nada, and I cannot speak highly enough about the experience.From the very beginning, Dr. Nada was calm, reassuring, and incredibly kind. As a parent, it is naturally stressful when your child needs surgery, but he took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we felt comfortable and informed throughout the process. His professionalism and confidence immediately built trust.What stood out the most was how he treated my son. Instead of approaching the situation in a purely clinical way, he connected with him on a human level. He spoke to him kindly, made him feel safe, and after the procedure he even gave him a teddy bear. That small gesture meant a lot. It turned what could have been a frightening experience for a child into something much more comforting.The surgery itself went very well, and the care we received from Dr. Nada and the team was excellent. It is clear that he not only has great skill as a surgeon, but also genuine compassion for his patients.I am deeply grateful for the care he provided to my son, and I would highly recommend Dr. Nada to any parent looking for a skilled and caring doctor.esther kah yanesther kah yan ★★★★★ Dr Nada is a very detailed doctor in which he explained all the conditions to me about my baby, before deciding to have surgery. And also he will patiently teach us how to exercise for my baby, for post-surgery recovery purpose.

Recommended paeds surgeon in Pantai.Siti HadijahSiti Hadijah ★★★★★ Thank you Dr Nada. My baby was born premature at 28 weeks and had been intubated for a long time in the NICU. Before the hernia repair, he was less active, but after the surgery he became so much more cheerful, active, and had a better appetite. The procedure only took about 30–40 minutes, and Dr. Nada was extremely kind and gentle with him. He was actually my second opinion, and I finally felt confident to proceed with the keyhole surgery after meeting him. It was a smooth procedure with less pain and a fast recovery. What I really appreciate is that I could directly WhatsApp him anytime if I had any questions. He always responds kindly and patiently. Truly grateful for her excellent care. 💖Khai MingKhai Ming ★★★★★ I recently brought my son to Dr. Nada for laparoscopic keyhole surgery for his hernia.

Dr. Nada was extremely thorough, caring, and professional throughout the whole process. Looking back, I wish we had done this much earlier when my baby was under a month old—it would have made my breastfeeding journey so much smoother.After the release, we immediately noticed a big difference. My baby feeds much better now, drinking milk from the bottle is easier, and swallowing solids has also improved within a few days. I’m also hopeful to see her relatch soon.Thank you, Dr. Nada, for guiding us through this journey and for your genuine care. I highly recommend Dr. Nada and his clinic to any parent considering a tongue tie release for their baby.Siti AnisdaSiti Anisda ★★★★★ Dear Dr. Nada, Dr Chong, Assunta Team and Pantai Team,I and husband just wanted to extend our sincere gratitude for the excellent care you provided during my son's tongue-tie procedure on 23 September 2025.

Thank you so much for your excellent service!Tony TanTony Tan ★★★★★ Nice doctor 👍👍👍Dhinaashinee RajendranDhinaashinee Rajendran ★★★★★ We took our daughter in to see Dr. Nada for second opinion when she was diagnosed with inguinal hernia. The initial advise was to wait until she turned 60 weeks. Since she was a premie, they didn’t want to put her under anesthesia too soon. But after consulting with Dr. Nada, he told us to go for immediate surgery and we have no regrets about that decision.As first-time parents, we were nervous due to the difference in opinions about the timing of the surgery. But Dr. Nada and Dr. Uma, the neonatal paediatrician, patiently answered all our questions and eased our concerns.Our daughter did very well and she didn’t seem to be in any pain at all post surgery. We are so glad we chose to see Dr. Nada. He is very professional, responds to all our questions and thoroughly explained the entire process to us. Thank you, Dr. Nada.js_loader
