Guess things have really changed since April 2014 when I had my baby cuz I spent only $324 on tests with dr F. I rejected the Pap smear sha maybe that's why.

But some of the tests came in handy, it's true he doesn't give the results cuz I asked before he told me I tested positive to gbs but when I got to the hospital They already knew because they immediately administered two rounds of antibiotics

I'm curious to know the tests that dr A insists on though and also more curious to know what she discusses with her patients during antenatal because all these dr / patient chitchat not sure how it works. I'm considering her bcuz there is no initial fee / scan charge but I hope it won't be penny wise foolish sha.

Cuz when my daughter went to nicu, we spent 3 days instead of 2 but dr f used his influence to ensure we were still billed for the normal 2 days

shrekandfiona:

My dear, if I had known about Dr A before now, would have ported o. I didn't have a pleasant experience with Dr. F starting with him not reachable via mobile incase of emergency to no doctor on ground at my delivery to him showing up 2 hours later with excuses etc

If I share my birth experience in detail here, no one would wanna use him again. Biko, i no fit shout. All the best to those still planning to use him though

Phema:


Did you get any refund?

shrekandfiona:

No, I didnt o though i got an apology letter from the hospital mgt. His excuse was that I have a pretty fast labour and he came as soon as he was contacted
In all fairness to him, I actually have a pretty fast labour but my grievance was that one of his doctors should always be on ground to attend to emergencies

LadyGuinivere:

Abegi share oo! How will people be warned? Noo vex o!

ozycy:

A friend and her family of 5 were recently turned back at Chicago POE. She is a frequent US traveller, they all go on yearly vacation 8 years counting, has children but they were all born here in Naija.

This is her last kid and they decided to birth this one in the US. I wasn't aware she was travelling if not would have referred her to this thread though I travelled before her.

shrekandfiona:

Uwc. Just be prepared for Dr F's lackadaisical attitude o. His discounted rate plus the tests is 2,860$ and that is if you pay in cash on your 2nd visit. Could be more if otherwise. Good luck with him

A friend and her family of 5 were recently turned back at Chicago POE. She is a frequent US traveller, they all go on yearly vacation 8 years counting, has children but they were all born here in Naija.

This is her last kid and they decided to birth this one in the US. I wasn't aware she was travelling if not would have referred her to this thread though I travelled before her.

Spent over 2.5mil on air ticket for their usual vacation but planned to stay back to deliver. She had contacted her in laws who live in the US to get her a doctor and hospital which they did but no correspondence regarding cost breakdown etc. They travelled with 18,000$ which they declared as they both work in oil companies.

When they arrived Chicago, the ffg conversation took place:

Cbd: i can see you're pregnant, do you intend giving birth here?
Friend: yes

Cbd: was the embassy informed of your plan
Friend: no, I am a frequent traveller and renewed via Dropbox before I was pregnant

Cbd: any doctor/hospital correspondence
Friend: yes

Cbd: can i see them?
Friend: this is my doctors name and phone number, I have my appointment with her in 2 days. My friend didn't have any email exchange just the number her inlaw got and she has been in contact with the doctor via phone. That was her mistake o

Cbd: don't you have any cost breakdown
Friend: no, I plan on getting those during my 1st appointment with her.

Cbd: how much do you have
Friend: showed him her declared cash of 18,000$

They still weren't impressed o, kept questioning her on her delivery plans etc, called her doctor and confirmed the appointment but they still weren't satisfied and said she didn't plan paying her bills

After over 6 hours with them, they cancelled all their visas, hers, 3 kids & her hubby and put them on the next available flight to naija. She fell into early labour on her way back to naija o.

I feel so sad for her and just tot to share so that peeps wanting to birth would do their homework very well even if you are a frequent US traveller. Be informed and be prepared. Peace y'all

Austine2020:
Thats pure wickedness for the CBP officer to cancel all their family visas. I think in my own opinion that the officer thought that since all of the family are travelling together with 18kusd & without any doctors correspondence,that they will not return back to NIG again. She should have left the kids at home as her strong ties and travel with her husband alone for birthing.

shrekandfiona:

Am sorry presently nursing a 6 weeks old infant just circumcised so hardly online. Don't know how PM works but I have replied all emails with the contact that got my accommodation. I stayed for 2 months and paid 700$ per month. All the best

She couldn't have left the kids na, it's a yearly tradition for them to go on family vacations. They always travelled together o. And she works in one of the biggest oil coy in Naija.

Just that this time around, after their usual 2-3 weeks vacation, she'll stay back to deliver while the family returns to Naija.

She even told the Cbd that if she was the problem, she was ready to go back alone while her kids n hubby enjoy their vacation but they didn't agree o. They cancelled all their visas

LadyGuinivere:
@shrekad oomg! I'm speechless. Na wickedness in high places be this o! Haba! They. Kuku cancel the small pikins' visa!
Sad story. Wasted money
