Anne, yeah, changed gynae recently.
The previous gynae is okay & the equipment is really high-tech, they got 4D ultrasound machine. However, I didn't really like the "style" of the place.
Maybe I'm stingy or outdated but I really don't like to be pushed into doing expensive optional tests that may not be accurate. My main hang-up is, if anything is wrong, they can't "fix" the problem. So to know it ahead doesn't really serve any purpose (unless we r prepared to kill our baby if something is not right).
They r very aggressive in their marketing. They called to remind me of my appts & to persuade me to take the optional tests quite a few times. How often do u hear of medical centres calling patients? Hehe...
As for cost of delivery, I think dollar-to-dollar it shld be abt the same rate as S'pore. Good thing abt S'pore is, u can claim from Medisave & pay very little cash for yr pre-natal & delivery charges.
I think the private hospital rate in Msia shld be RM2k+ for basic normal unassisted delivery without any pain relief drugs. C-sec is RM4k+ onwards. These rates r for 4-bed wards.
