Which Hospital to Choose?

[Mom-2-B]

HI Niah,

:congrats:

I think I paid the lowest private prenatal consultation throughout my pregnancy.

I paid HK$450 per consultation including ultra sound scan. i think from what I have read in this forum, most pp are paying around HK600-HK$1200. (depending which doctors you are seeing)

My OB practises mainly at Kowloon or new Territories hospitals. He does both the Natural and C-section! If you would to ask me about the hospital, I would highly recommend Union Hospital in Tai wai (New Territories) just a station from Shatin.

Since I had a normal delivery and also not high risk, therefore I cant commend how good my OB was to deal with any high risk or any complications. :Butbut, I would really love to praise him for his bedside manner and also his patience. Besides, he gave me a lot of courages and confidence during my pregnancy. Guess the first time mom also worries too much right! :haha: HE WAS SO PATIENT WHENEVER WE VISITED HIM. No rush in his dictionary. My husband cant stop praising him whenever mentioning about giving birth'.

In fact, I recommended him to one of my friend, as she wanted to switched her OB. My friend is very glad that I have recommended my OB to her.

One more thing to praise him :haha:, he didnt charge me any unnesscery even though I was under full coverage of my insurance.

If you need more info, pls feel free to ask me.

Hi i am also under the Cathay coverage and looking for a cheaper option and doctor to go with.. I am in tung chung though and have been looking at hospitals in hong kong side although i dont mind going somewhere in kowloon too i suppose.. may i pls ask which doctor u were seeing pls and where his office is? How much did he charge you for your delivery and how much did u end up spending during discharge at the hospital (during the 3 nights delivery in hospital with epidural i assume?) would really appreciate your help.. thanks so much

Finally pregnant!!

Hello All,

I'm not sure if the same posters are still reading this thread but I thought I would share my news.....I'm pregnant! It took a bit but it finally happened. Anyway, just wondering if anyone has any information on private hospitals in the New Territories? I think the Union hospital seems to be covered but what about the others?

It's decision time!!!:yeah2

Thanks everyone:thanks

Congrats niahbear! I delivered my first at Matilda so no advice on NT private hospitals I'm afraid but very happy for you nonetheless!
