"The Singapore National Eye Centre is, without question, one of the finest places in the world for retinal surgery. From the moment we arrived, we felt we were in the hands of true professionals. Dr. Danny Cheung is extraordinary. His skill, calm confidence, and clarity gave us complete trust during what could have been a very stressful time. It’s rare to meet a doctor who combines technical mastery with such reassurance and care. We are deeply grateful. We could have chosen to go anywhere for this procedure, and I am so thankful we chose SNEC. The experience was exceptional from start to finish. I’ve seen comments about waiting times, but in my view, excellence takes time. I would much rather wait for precision and world-class care than be rushed through something as important as eye surgery. When you are dealing with vision, you want it done right — and that is exactly what you receive here. Thank you, Dr. Cheung and the entire team, for your dedication and professionalism. It truly means more than words can express."
"5-star for Santhi from SNEC. My 81 yo mother missed her next-day appt after cataract surgery on 05/01 due to some personal reasons. I called SNEC, attended by Santhi. She was polite, helpful and she seemed knowledgeable. She took the initiative to call me back twice after the Dr confirmed the next-week’s appointment and she advised us to use a new bottle of glaucoma eye drop after cataract surgery. Santi really made my day by providing such a good-standard service without hesitation. A big THANK YOU to Santhi who deserves a 5-star commendation."
"Feedback for Friday, 1:30 PM SNEC SGH. I would like to commend Miss Salina Bte Masri Khan, Senior Patient Service Associate. During this time, only two counters were serving patients, and despite being interrupted multiple times while handling registrations, she remained composed and attended to all the disgruntled patients diligently. It was evident that she was overwhelmed, yet she maintained her professionalism throughout. I would also like to praise Miss Vera Sheetal, Senior Staff Nurse, who checked my eyesight and reassured me that my vision was fine. She also arranged for an earlier appointment for me. Her competence and professionalism gave me peace of mind as I left SNEC. Finally, Siti Rohaya Binte Haron gave my wife the necessary advises following her discharge from the cataracts operation today which boostered her confidence and well being. What a great teamwork and camaraderie amongst the hardworking and dedicated staff at SNEC! Keep up the excellent work!"
"I don't have words enough to share how grateful I feel to SNEC, to his amazing, warm and efficient team of professionals and specially to Dr Danny Cheung. They not only saved my eye but they were caringly by my side all the way of this scary journey and foe this, the entire center will always be in my heart. Singaporeans are extremely lucky to count on this level of specialists and should not take for granted the magic this center delivers on daily basis. Our eyes are precious and I got to keep mine thanks to Dr Danny and his team. THANK YOU."
"The staff (registration, evaluation,) were very friendly and professional. The processes from registration to evaluation were very thorough and fast. There were many people at SNEC for eyes checks/ evaluation/ consultation. For doctor consultations and many other tests were done, but may not be necessary for what i came for consultation of cataract. The extra tests were checked for retina issue and glaucoma, main doctor assistant checked my eyes in very details and told the female doctor that one of my eye nerve got issue, so this doctor referred me to a nerve doctor and he checked no issue, no glaucoma risk for now and only 20% cataract. All these extra cost for the tests…even subsidised health care for SGrean will not be affordable."
