Requesting Knee X-ray (Consulted Dr. Suresisen Mariappan)
I have already consulted Dr. Suresisen Mariappan twice in the past two weeks for knee pain and swelling. Since the swelling has increased and the pain is still continuing, I would like to request an X-ray for further investigation and to rule out conditions like early osteoarthritis or meniscus injury. Kindly advise how to proceed or help me with the booking for the X-ray.

Answer:

Dear Sir/Madam,

We extend our sincere gratitude for choosing Pantai Hospital Malaysia for your healthcare requirements.

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your ongoing knee pain and swelling.

To proceed with booking an X-ray, a referral letter from a medical practitioner is required. If you do not currently have a referral letter, we recommend consulting with one of our orthopedic specialist. Our doctor will assess your condition and guide you on the necessary investigations and imaging tests, including arranging for the X-ray if deemed appropriate.

Should you wish to schedule a consultation with our doctor, please let us know your preferred date and time, and we will be happy to assist with the booking.
