Honestly can't say enough about my journey with TPSC. Never thought I'd walk into a clinic and feel this level of comfort and cared for. Dr. Nivan was an excellent listener to my ordeal, great advisor and was very detail-oriented in explaining everything-from the diagnosis to MRI results and the procedure. Felt super safe in his hands the whole time, and my pain has reduced A LOT since. Shoutout to Su (Clinic Assistant) too for making everything so smooth and fuss-free. If you're dealing with pain, Dr. Nivan is definitely your go-to specialist.

Dr Nivan was kind, patient, and reassuring when my pain was at its worst. He immediately arranged for a MRI and explained the results and diagnosis very thoroughly with subsequent follow-up plans. I would recommend him to anyone seeking pain management as he's a doctor who truly takes the time and effort to care for his patients.

I brought my mom who has chronic back pain to Dr Nivan Loganathan. He's very patient & thorough in his explanations regardless of the questions we had. Showed care & empathy towards the patient (my mom) too. Based on his recommended treatment, my mom's pain has reduced tremendously & therefore, improved quality of life. Would strongly recommend Dr Nivan if you face any chronic or acute pain issues. Huge thanks and appreciation to the clinic staff as well - they're extremely patient & helpful too.

I'm writing this as a husband who has been walking alongside my wife on her long journey seeking help for chronic pain. Since her fibromyalgia diagnosis in 2016, she has faced several difficult experiences within the healthcare system. On many occasions, her pain was minimised or not fully understood. Over time, this led her to question herself and struggle to verbalise what she was going through. Watching that has been incredibly hard. Our experience with Dr Nivan and his team was different. For the first time in a long while, my wife felt genuinely heard and taken seriously. Her pain was acknowledged without dismissal. That validation alone meant more than I can put into words. The procedure to manage her lower back pain went smoothly. She is now continuing her journey with physiotherapy and strengthening. We were also deeply appreciative of the kindness shown by the team at Mount Alvernia Hospital, from the registration staff to the ward nurses. Ms Su at the clinic was consistently warm, patient and reassuring throughout our visits.

My ordeal is finally over! I am now pain-free, fully functional, and completely present again. What had felt like a living hell, with constant pain every second of the day and increasing in intensity, was resolved within just a few days. My sincere thanks to Dr Nivan Loganathan of Farrer Park Medical Centre. Truly, by God’s grace, I found the right specialist for my L4–L5 and S1 nerve condition. The minimally invasive procedures—annuloplasty, nucleoplasty, and RF ablation—were smooth, precise, and highly effective, providing immediate relief. From the first consultation through to surgery day, Dr Nivan was consistently positive and reassuring, extremely knowledgeable, and genuinely kind and compassionate. Post-procedure, I can confidently attest to his excellent skill and outstanding care. I especially appreciated his thoughtful guidance on managing medical costs and planning responsibly for my ongoing care, as well as his prompt and clear communication throughout the process. My gratitude also extends to Su at reception and the medical team at HMI Medical Centre for their professionalism and warmth. I have confidently referred Dr Nivan to friends who are enduring similar pain.

I came here after exhausting all options for my pain, going to a public hospital, then doing an MRI, for an undiagnosed pain in my face, with all symptoms pointing to atypical trigeminal neuralgia. Dr. Nivan took the time to understand all my symptoms and start from the day I started having my pain. Diagnosed me with new medications as the ones I took didn't help. Pain subsided immediately the morning after, and I was finally able to sleep through the night and wake up with the feeling of my jaw tearing GONE. They also attend to the WhatsApp messages promptly, and answer all my queries welllll. Also, major compliments to the kind and patient nurses, making me feel welcome and having such a pleasant visit every time.

I just rely on google reviews to find a specialist for my chronic lower back pain, which hasn’t improved despite months of therapy and medication. Though initially hesitant, I decided to see Dr. Nivan — and I’m so glad I did. After a thorough assessment, Dr. Nivan recommended a combination of annuloplasty, nucleoplasty, and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as part of the pain management plan. The procedure significantly reduced my pain by about 70–80%. The post-surgery care was outstanding too. Dr. Nivan is not only highly skilled but also a good listener — something that is very reassuring. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Nivan to friends and family in need of his care and expertise.

I have been experiencing chronic degenerative disc disease and spondylosis in the lumbosacral joint, particularly in the L4/5 and L5/S1 regions. Despite various treatments, my pain persisted for approximately a year. Fortunately, I consulted with Dr. Nivan, who recommended nucleoplasty and annuloplasty. I underwent these procedures a month ago and am pleased to report a significant improvement in my condition. Dr. Nivan's expertise and compassionate care have been truly exceptional, and I highly recommend him as an outstanding medical professional.

I cannot recommend Dr. Nivan enough! I initially approached him with skepticism, but I am so glad I trusted him to help me with my slipped discs. He provided excellent pain relief solutions, and the surgery he performed went smoothly. What truly stood out to me was his post-surgery care. Dr. Nivan and his staff were always available to address my questions and concerns, making me feel supported throughout my recovery journey. His expertise and compassion gave me the confidence I needed to push through the healing process. Fast forward to today, and I’m thrilled to share that I successfully completed a 4-day trek on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu - and this was one week after surgery. Dr. Nivan is truly an amazing doctor, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking effective pain relief and expert care. Thank you, Dr. Nivan, for giving me my life back!

I brought my aunt to see Dr Nivan for chronic nerve pain issues as she had been seen by multiple doctors previously. Most of them had been prescribing opioids to control the pain with detrimental consequences. All that changed after a visit to this clinic. She was offered spinal cord stimulation, a novel therapy in the treatment of chronic pain. The device was implanted skillfully without any complications and she is now pain free after many years! Would highly recommend him for any pain related issues, he is clearly experienced in his field and apart from focusing solely on conventional pharmacological methods, he also explores contemporary and state of the art treatment that's based on recent research.
