I feel that Raffles is quite a good hospital especially for its service although its slightly expensive than any other hospitals =) Morever it has many clinics all over singapore which is also more convenient for all mums-to-be for their monthly check up if their preferred hospital is not that accessible from their place. |

I signed up with Dr Thong at Raffles for S$3400 earlier this year cos mine are twins. Agree that it is on the high side but feel it is worth it cos my doc is very experienced with twins and i love the nurses there..all very nice and professional. I've been seeing her every 3 weeks since and most visits includes an ultrasound scan..do dun worry about them saying the scan is only limited to 3 times. |

Hi,
My 2 previous birth were at RH under Dr Thong too. But this #3, I've somewhat changed to TMC for fear of another csection as Dr Thong tends to pro csection although she is very skilful and pro and also very reasuring. I must admit that RH is the best hospital and the service is very good!
My qtn is, since I've missed (am now 19wks) the 12wks package which she is charging me at $2k, will you still gg bk to her for another elective csection or to get another opinion from sm1 else?? |

one of my colleague went to Gleneagles and they paid abt the same price as RH.
My gynae was Dr Watt Wing Fong. Until now, i find that she is quite professional.
RH service is very good also and the nurses are more caring. |

HI all,
I juz gave birth to my 2nd bb in RH. My 1st bb also was from RH.
I do find packaging is EX.. BUt very worth it.
I can call anytime if I need advice from my doc.
My doc does nt pressure me to go C-sect for my 2nd bb. (She allow me to try natural birth 1st)
I only save on the rm bills. I choose 4 bedded rm. Usually the rm is nt fully occupied. For both delivery, I hv the 4-bedded rm to myself for almost 2 days. (even bigger then 1 bedded rm) |

Hi,
I am due to deliver in Raffles Hospital next month. I plan to BF and would like to know if any of you had any experience with the lactation care provided by RH.
Do they have good lactation specialist to guide you on the first BF and on getting it right. |

Hi,
I delivered my bb last Dec at RH and Dr Thong was my gynae. She's really good and bb natural birth altho had initial scare of a C-Sect. She tried her best to avoid the C-sect.
In terms of cost, it's money well spent. We have ultrascan everytime we visited her and the rooms were great and nurses most helpful.
They have a good lactation specialist except that her services is wanted by many so do reserve your appointment fast with her. They have a simple briefing class (with video and nurse explanation) before you check out of hospital. It is there that the lactation specialist shall be there to answer your questions. They played a video too. |

Hi Sheela,
Dr Tony Tan did my detailed scan and also the amnio test. He was patient and nice and "careful", didnt handle me "roughly". Anyway if I am not wrong, he is the only one who does the detailed scan and amnio test at RH itself for all preggies seeing other RH gynaes.
My first gynae was from Gleneagles. Didnt like him cos he is damn sarcastic but his skills really good very professional.
My 2nd Gynae was Dr Watt Wing Fong from RH, clinic at Compass Point. Me and Hubby really liked the whole experience from our first visit till delivery. Dr Watt is very patient, nice and caring. Most importanly, she really bothers to explain to great length every single details. Even though it was my 2nd baby, she didnt assume that I knew everything. When I looked puzzled, she would repeat everything again. Every visit was good. Scan to see baby thoroughly, hear heartbeat etc. THe hospital itself also nice.
HOpe this helps. |

Thanks Ah Zi,Aria & Bie ..that's helpful. So i guess Dr. Tony practices in Raffles. I was also thinking of seeing Dr.Watt since I stay at Sengkang but then i heard a lot of comments that women Dr's are quite rough and all..so was not sure ...however noticed that there's a lot positive feedback on Dr. Watt..maybe i should meet her for consultation instead of assuming ...sighh ..it's my 1st baby and I'm still quite blurr.blurr ..thanks again gals.. |

Hi,
im a first time mum and just signed up a package with dr watt at RH. Hear alot of positive comments about her and am wondering if shes gd with high risk births. cos i was told that i have placenta preavia from a gynae i saw at gleaneagles and am really worried. dr Watt seems very nice but am still not too sure. |

hi shills, i just had an appoinment (1st) with her yesterday ..changed gynae...she seems to be okay but i'm also not sure whether she's good with high risk births.If i'm you,i may try Dr. Tony Tan at Raffles ,he's definetely qualified and has more experience with high risks births. Also, as you wud hv read in the thread ..he does most of the Amnio and other tests required for pregnancy complications etc.. By the way , can i ask how much you signed up for the package? I asked her and she told me to wait till the Amnio is done, by the time the results are out and nx appoinment if fixed..i will be 20wks oredi , so not very sure whether to take up the package. I also find it very weird for them to charge operating cost etc. seperately.The consultation is not cheap either, though it states that 1st consultation starts at $85, i was charged $100 ..plus test, scan etc..was bout $270 |

Dr Tony Tan was my gynae when I gave birth to my 2nd child at KKH in 2004. Very good, fuss free and handled the delivery very smoothly. Too bad that he's moved on to RH. I dont think I can afford to go there for my 3rd child. |

Hi girlizz, I m not sure how much Dr Tony Tan is charging cos I m seeing another doc, Dr YG Tan at RH now. He is the head of the Women's Centre and he is charging me $2200 for his antenatal pkg (price went up since I delivered 2 yrs back!). I paid $1k upfront starting from week 10, bal payable only upon check-in for delivery. |

since i've signed up with RH, I think i will stick with dr watt. i have a rather unpleasant exp with my second gynae. she gave a different diagnosi fr dr watt and that freaked me out. however, i checked with another gynae (dr l.c foong fr gleangles) and his assessment concurs with dr watt. so now i feel safe besides dr watt is really nice and reassuring. |

Hi Shills ,np..thanks for your reply. I'm now seeing Dr.Watt too.When i changed from my previous gynae to Dr.Watt i was already bout 18wks. So when i checked with her on my last visit about the need for package(after my amnio+detail scan at raffles) she told me it's not wise since i'm also on my own vitamins and if i deliver early than the package will not be worth it. I agree too since i estimate another 7 visits will hopefully cost me less than $800. By the way the package u took is quite reasonable if you started early , my previous gynae quoted me $2k lehh..and it starts from ww20. |

Hi Sheela, yah its seems to work out to be more cost effective. Actually i only signed up at abt week 17 to 18, also quite late. but since i was undecided at that time its better not to commit early. anyway, dr watt is pretty nice and friendly yah? i like her filipina nurse too |

Hi Shills, ya .Dr. Watt is easy to talk to and she answers all questions in a straightforward manner ,we're comf. with her . I'm seeing her in Sengkang,i don't see any phil. nurse ur refering ..only 2 chinese nurses. 1 lady nurse (a little plump, think more senior) and one more who's like extremely new@reception (she's friendlier though). I don't really like the senior one,1st time i went they already made appoinment stating that i'm changing gynae etc,,ect..i def. look pregnant..than she can ask me ..r u pregnant?want to test? while taking my pressure ..piang..then act as though she know everything..when i fixed my appoinment later with the new nurse for weekend for amnio/detail scan slots at RH...she can interfere and tell the new nurse dun fix wkend slots..i then told the new nurse to inform Dr.Watt, later they call back and say can ...i wish they change that nurse and get someone better and friendlier. |

Both my children is delivered by Dr Lee from Raffles. Althought it's on the high price, but i love the service they provide there. The nurse they are very friendly, esp the nurse at the delivery ward. What i like is that when you deliver, you don't have to move from the waiting room to the delivery suit. They admit you to the delivery suit straight and the nurse they are very friendly. Anyway i save alot of money for my husband as i'm normal delivery without any gas or epidual, haha.. |

Hihi,
I've finally decided to go bk to Dr Thong since when I'm 34wks. She is so happy to see us again and as expected, very reassuring! This time as I also did my own hmwk in ensuring my bb is gaining weight so she din ask me to del my bb earlier than expected except I nd to deliver b4 I go into labor since I will be elective csection due to previous 2 "misfortuned" csections.
We are just very glad that we came bk to RH after seeing how the hosp handles H1N1 as compared to TMC as its more tense over there. This is also one of the reason why we came bk to RH. Saw the 2 hosp bills, there's not much diff and we feel that safety is most impt and to me, being bk to familiar plc is great! So I'm tentatively gvg birth few days b4 NDP. |

hi sheela
when i signed up i was in my 11th week actually, lucky dr watt allowed me to sign based on old price. i'm now 13wks already. her delivery fee is now $1200 for normal delivery w/o assistance (previously was $1100). w forceps/vacuum is additional $500. c-sect additional $1000.
DBS woman's card discount not applicable for package. those that are separate from package (like blood test) will have 5% discount. |

DUMBGER, I think $1100 is very very reasoanble. I need to confirm Dr Tony Tan's package in my next visit but from what I gathered from the nurses outside, it's not as reasonable. |

YA, that's true cos Dr Tony Tan is a senior consultant i think with specialization.
He did my amnio and detail scan...he's really good..actually i wanted him as my gynae but it's not convenient for me to go to Raffles for appointments. |

Hi dumbger,
I'm 28wks now, No i did'nt though i wanted too...as i've written on the thread above..
I was actually seeing another gynae at Parkway but was not comfortable with him since he treated my pregnancy as high risk just bcos i was 35..(yalor..old oredi)...he was charging bout 2K+ from 20 wks..ex right..
Then i changed to Dr.Watt at about 18wks..she did'nt want me to sign on the package immediately since i was about to go for my amnio/detail scan just to be sure all is ok.
By the time i did that i was more than 20wks.
She later told me that the package was not necessary since i was also on my own vitamins ..
Really crossing my fingers it's not goin to cost me that much without a package ..sighhh..
I'm thinking about not requesting scan picture(may save me $50 bucks).. basically i have a lot of collection of these pictures since 8th wk, the last one was the scan pic of the babies hand & feet , not really excited to have more.. |

I just came back and was quoted package of $1000 excl normal delivery fees. All other standards (scans, vits and folics) included tho. I'm already in my 16 weeks. I think that's a bit on the high side. |

Hi,
Cheap lehh..Dr. Tony Tan is an experienced Sen Consultant ..liked him..he did my detail scan and Amnio but he's stationed at raffles. there's a lot of good review about him too..U dun hv to see another gynae for certain scans etc...he's qualified to do all.
For me, a little inconvenient to travel there that's why settled for Sengkang.
By the way think it's worth it to take the package ...i recently hv to pay extra visits due to my diabetes check that was high ..if i were to calculate amount paid w/out package about $700 oredi, still have 2 months to go ..with weekly and biweekly check ..think will hit more than 1K excluding delivery. |

Sheela, yes.. I like him a lot. Very detailed and patient doctor. Which is why it is difficult to make a decision. Most likely I will sign up as I don't want to change.
Yvonne, I heard from the nurse it's around $1500 - $2000 for normal delivery. I'm not too sure about C-sec tho. Maybe you can call his nurse to enquire? My next check up is a month later else I can find out. |

Normal delivery (2N)
If you take the Raffles package , 4 bedded = $1088 (discounted based on normal price of $1880)
Assisted +200
C-section -
2N stay 1638
3N stay 1788
Note that the package amount above is basic without the addition plus+plus as mentioned on the thread.
Also , it may be lesser based on Medisave deduction. |

Hi all,
I'm new here and am shopping around for a good female gynae. I recently found out 2 days ago that i'm about 5 weeks pregnant and that i need to book my first appointment soon.
Since i work at bugis area, would be convenient for me to go to Raffles Hosp for my checkups.
Besides Dr Watt, any other good female Gynae and how do i go about booking appointments with them?
Thanks! |

Hi mumsie, i went with Dr Cordelia Han at RH for my 2nd baby. Superbly comfortable with her. She jokes around & yet very concern about my wellbeing especially when I just had to remove a cyst when I was around 20 weeks pregnant.
Fyi, I was with Dr WK Tan at TMC for my first but prefer this younger lady for a change. & never did I regret my decision.
I agree that the package is pretty expensive but when I compared to TMC, its similar in amount so why not??? BTW, I took a 1-bedded. |

Hi all,
I also went to Dr Cordelia Han for both my pregnancies. Very professional and caring. I was a bit depressed after my first delivery and she will try to talk to me and also call me to found out how I am doing. |
