    Dr Huat Lim is a very professional, knowledgeable, conscientious and caring doctor. He has been very responsible in treating me since he accepted me as his patient. Very timely and responsible for any problems that arise in my treatment process, no matter how small, will be dealt with in a timely manner and given solutions. Since the start of the treatment, he has been very careful to explain the treatment plan to me, the possible side effects, and also very patiently listened to my problems and gave professional explanations. Every visit is a very enjoyable process. My condition was very well controlled under his perfect treatment plan and I am confident in Dr Lim's treatment!
