Parkcity Medical Center at Desa Parkcity



I have been a regular at Parkcity Medical Center at Desa Parkcity since (lemme think)...I guess just before Raya Haji.) A nice hospital but you knowlah, private hospital must be with a whopping bill. The moment you stepped into its nice lobby, you can sense it. Man, I won't step here without insurance but I love it. I feel so damn rich. Lol. For the moment, I love this hospital. Not crowded yet. Since it is new with not too many patients yet, they offer free parking. And ample parking. This is a plus point for me as I really hate the hassle looking for parking. Another plus point is it is situated in Desa Parkcity, my favorite residential area. You my access via Bandar Manjalara or Desa Parkcity.

First visit is to meet the orthopaedic surgeon on my left elbow pain. It was really painful that sometimes it felt like knife cuts. Sharp pain. So, as my physician going to write me a recommendation to insurance company on the need for x-ray and meeting specialist, might as well I add back and both knees to be examined too.


This is the clinic that I visit. Nice right but do not check the bill. Just enjoy the environment.

My knees are suffering from osteoarthritis for quite sometimes, long long time ago. About 20 years ago. Starting from injury, then they become that. Anyway, the x-ray and the first specialist visit cost me RM500 plus. Luckily, the insurance foot the bills. MRI scan, as I told before, cannot be done. Why? Read here.

So, I am to continue with visits to rehabilitative center for my physiotherapy every Saturday. First visit, they used two machine to treat my back, elbow and knees. The next visit, one more machine is added that is traction. This works like a tractor, pulling my back muscle/bone so the gap disc is corrected. The third visit, they introduced me to physical exercise and at same time, continue the machine treatment.

That is the entrance to Rehab Center.
Anyway, I plan to stop pysiotherapy soon. If I am in pain again, I would visit the doctor again. Anyway, after 3 visits to rehab center and two months of suffering, the doctor gave me a steroid jab at the joint (elbow). Wow, I tell you. After the shot, slowly the medication spread inside, you feel so much pain and numb. First day is killing me. Second day, still cannot do anything, suffering in silent. After third day only, I can see the world. My elbow is okay now but still try to avoid carry  heavy things while practising the exercise.

Putting aside pain, I feel so good everytime I visit the hospital. It is a new hospital and being operational for about one year plus. And I like my doctor. And he speaks Malay well. 


Playground and garden on the second floor. The clinic that I visit is located on this floor too.
Adjacent to playground is the pharmacy. Once, I forgot to collect my medication. The staff called me. So, I went to pick up the next day. It was Sunday, it was closed. I collected from ground floor instead.
Some floors still not open. No cafetaria yet but they do have Subway Outlet located on ground floor of parking building. Oh, there is florist too. Must be slow but if they preserve, it will be a good business then.



It is good the florist sell small pack of mee, nasi lemak and also sandwiches. And fruits too/ At least, can chase the hungry pang while waiting for proper meal.

Anyway, all private hospitals are nice but the fees also are exorbitant. But someone told me if you are to undergo the operation, the facilities are much better at government hospitals. They have all the experts under one roof. However, you have to queue. That is the setback. But still, I love the luxury feels whenever I visit this hospital. Thanks to my employer.
