For Ridho Hafiedz, guitarist of the legendary band Slank, undergoing a medical check-up turned out to be an unexpectedly pleasant experience. Ridho shared his story after having an MRI scan at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri, which he said completely changed his perception of what hospitals are usually like.
“For me, this kind of check-up is actually enjoyable. The first thing I noticed is that going to a hospital doesn’t feel scary at all. The explanations from the staff also make us feel more at ease. Before the procedure, they tell us what to expect step-by-step, which really helps,” he said.
According to Ridho, the service at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri made him feel comfortable from the very beginning because patients are clearly informed before any procedure is carried out. This approach helped him feel calm and relaxed throughout the MRI process.

A New Perspective on Health
Ridho also revealed that this experience gave him a new way of thinking about hospitals and health care.
“For me, this is like a new paradigm in thinking about health—it’s not as scary as before. We used to associate hospitals with fear—the rooms, the atmosphere, everything. But now, the staff are friendly, the doctors are friendly, so it becomes a pleasant experience. I’ve actually wanted to do this for a long time, and finally, I did it,” he explained.
He believes that the warm atmosphere and friendly service at Mandaya help eliminate the fear or anxiety often associated with hospitals. Instead, his experience at Mandaya made him more motivated to undergo regular check-ups comfortably.
Comfortable MRI Experience—Even with Netflix
One of the most memorable parts of Ridho’s visit was the MRI facility at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri, which comes with entertainment features. For someone who doesn’t usually feel comfortable in enclosed spaces, this made the procedure surprisingly enjoyable.
“When I entered the MRI room, I have to admit I’m not that comfortable in small spaces. But they explained that I could listen to music or watch a movie—whatever I wanted. So, I chose to watch Happy Gilmore,” he said.
He even mentioned that he felt so relaxed during the MRI that he almost fell asleep.
According to Ridho, the MRI experience at Mandaya was far from the intimidating stories he had heard before. He also expressed his admiration for the hospital’s modern and comfortable design.
“I actually first heard about Mandaya from my friend, Dr. Abdillah Hasbi Assadyk, Sp.THT-KL. When I looked it up online, I thought—‘Is this a hospital or a hotel?’ When I finally came here, I was amazed. It’s such a beautiful hospital, not scary at all,” Ridho added.
He said the comfortable environment and modern facilities make the whole health screening experience feel completely different.
