firsttymum: You are so right firsttymum. It's a lot cheaper, especially for a triplet mum like me that spends ×3 for almost everything. Also, you don't have panic attack wondering if your child's (children's ) blue Pali arrived safely. Modath and Nefertitiram, you people didn't invite us abi? Because we are a crowd, eh ? llol |

firsttymum: ETC is cheaper, it's just $270 + $20 shipping fee. The shipping fee for the passport alone is something else. Some peeps paid more Dan $80 just for shipping alone. 1 Like |

Round One of our missionary journey is officially a wrap. Wifey and baby returned to Naija yesterday via BA. Even while there were a few legitimate concerns, we went ahead with Dr F and Oakbend. We figured there were both positive and negative reviews for him but as long as other people were birthing with him, it couldn't be worse than the experiences we've had in the past. In this era of misconstruing positive feedback for selling and one who gives good reviews must be an agent, I will not be that open about our experience with the doctor. However, there were two incidents worth noting: 1. We got a bill of $6,840 from US Anesthesia Partners for wifey's unscheduled CS after speaking to a customer rep. He insisted on not accepting our payment of $950 until the matter was decided by the board and demanded we fax a justification for the reduction in price to him. We sent him all the documents he requested and at the last minute, we spoke to Dr F about it. He referred to the customer rep as ignorant who should be taken lessons from we patients. Long story short, we didn't pay a cent more than $950 and we received our zero balance. 2. After sending numerous emails to Alice of Oakbend and several un-returned phone calls in-between, Dr F during our post partum appointment advised we pay them a visit at the billing office. We did and got our zero balance 30 minutes later. The doctor could be the worst doctor in the whole US of A or we were just lucky. Sincere gratitude to everyone who contributed in no small measure to our journey: directly or otherwise. We are very grateful. The openness with which information is shared here is unparalleled and this made everything super smooth. Even our friends who live in America got a few tips from us. P.S Now preparing myself for Round Two before Donald Trump gets sworn into office and dabaru everything 23 Likes |

aolatunde00:Yes the money you pay to post office to send your documents to and fro. You don't have to declare. Yes the fee is compulsory cos they can't post your documents for free. |

Now for those saying ETC is cheaper, no it isn't. It's only good for those who plan getting baby's Naija passport immediately you arrive naija but if you plan travelling before 2 yrs without getting the passport, then Naija visa sure pass. And besides naija visa is 300$ for a 2 yr visa while the ETC which expires within 7 days is 270$. #myopinion# 7 Likes |

firsttymum: Referee you to memorial Hermann for what? The hearing test? P.s the hearing test can be declined - it's optional but since reading about a mama whose baby failed it in this thread I think it's better to go ahead Which pediatric did u use? |
