Smear Testing

[Lucylou]

Hi All!I need to get a smear test done and I am confused as to where I should go for this - Doctors/Hospital/Specialist?* Anyone out there help me on this one? :flower:

i have only gone to Gynocologists for those. cos i think it's better to go to a specialist, cos they're more skilled & make me feel mroe comfortable (& less embarrassed). if you don't have one to go, then you can try Family Planning Ass. They have clinics all over town, and they're very experienced.

Thsnks - have looked them up on the internet and will make an appointment asap.

you can also get them done at gov't maternal/women's health clinics. they cost $100 (not great bedside manner but private cost can reach to $1000!!!)

really?! i had a smear test done at the govt. mchc and the bedside manner was okay! no worries

it is more like so routine...
here.
lie down.
spread 'em.
done.
bye.

not that i want an in-depth conversation while it's being done. i think it took about 10 minutes from the time i entered the clinic, until i walked out. that included 5 minutes filling in paper work.

true, lol! but my own experience at the private docs has been quite similar :wink:

i need a breast sonogram done, anyone knows where i should go for this?

 

[carang]

you mean an ultra-sound? or a mamogram? (are they different?)

i would call tsan yuk, they are a "women's hospital" not just ante-natal, from my understanding.

if you're going for private, they have a very reputable breast clinic at the HK Sanatorium. but then you know the reputation of HK Sanotorium in general......

i went to one breast specialist before, her name is Wong Ting Ting. She's very nice. you can call HK Sanatorium Breast Clinic & ask for her clinic no. her clinic was above Sogo when i went several years ago.
