ocman: Elpaso mums aint you pipo going to california? Pls mihs mums what is airline policy in january mentioned in the last thread? Okay airline policy for twins and multiples- most airlines will not carry a woman pregnant with twins/multiples after 28weeks gestational age. Unlike women carrying singletons that can usually fly upto 32weeks and even 36weeks for some airlines. And no it's not something that has to do with January or any other month. P.s -had my first appointment with Dr Oduro today and he was so fantastic(yes!that's why I logged on today on this page just to give a feedback ). Thanks to whoever discovered him 3 Likes 1 Share |

is it close to doctorsparti? I was told it is but you can use Google map to check for proximity. I'm more concerned about my comfort, that's why I chose them. |

Hello, first I just want to say that this is a wonderful thread, lots of useful info. Its a pity I found out about this thread AFTER I had my baby in the US earlier this year. lol Anyways, I just want to provide helpful info for the person who asked about another doctor in West Houston Medical Centre. I had my Son there in Feb this year, my doctor was Dr Jeanie Huynh. Fantastic doctor! A friend's sis-in-law had used her before so I went to her and I must say, i'm glad I did. She also did my son's circumcision and it was fantastic. I had emailed the doc's office and also faxed my medical report in advance. They didnt accept payment in advance anyway, had to pay everyth when I got there. So here's what I spent a few months ago:
Dr Huynh's Fee - $2,000 Additional OBtests @ Doc's office - $270 (please do as many of the tests as you can do in Naija) Circumcision - $255 Hospital Fee - $4,000 (I ended up having a C-Section coz I developed PIH when I arrived in the US) Epidural - $1,200 Paediatrician - $93 (Dr Huynh's office suggested a paediatrician to me that also gives discount to Dr Huynh's patients so this was quite cheap. Otherwise I would have spent $800 if I had used WHMC's Paed).
. I understand that having a baby in the US can be daunting, esp if you havent done it before so it pays to have people assitst with first-hand info, questions, clarifications etc. Am available to help sha. I wish everyone a success in this quest and all the blessings of parenthood!!! May our investments in our children's future by having them in the US be fruitful in Jesus Name!
please can you help me with accomodation info. i intend using Dr Huynh.thanks |

Here is ROUGH SKETCH of some of the info I have been able to gather from this forum on Houston over time (these come from different NLders experiences btw I place emphasis on rough ). :
http://westhoustonmedical.com/ Hello, this quotation of $3,340 from Dr. La does not include the hospital fee (WHMC), it is the doctor's fee only. The hospital fee is $2,500 for self pay patients (normal delivery) and $4,000 for C-section. Hope this helps. Dr la is the most expensive dr in whmc. Go to their website and contact other doctors with admission privileges at the hospital. The others average $2,000 to $2,500 for what dr la charges $4,000
There are other hospitals/ drs in Houston you can also consider like oakbend, Methodist, etc
For those coming to Houston, I registered with Methodist Hospital. Their hospital bill is $2538 for womanly delivery and $3780 for CS. Epidural is an additional $1500 which is optional. And I chose Dr. Le whose bill is $1500 for delivery and prenatal visits which include ultrasound scans and prenatal vitamins. The only thing not included in this package is tests which are not compulsory esp if you have done them in Nigeria. This is a fair deal & my first visit yesterday was gd. Don't 4get to come with your medical
Methodist Hospital Sugar Land. I was told I will do only one test, it'll cost $10 and it's compulsory cos I wanna hve a womanly delivery & they need to b sure I don't hve any infection dat can affect d baby during birth. All my test results from my hospital in Naija was accepted. The Dr's name is Dr. Duc Le. He accepts patients till 36weeks.
Methodist Katy Hospital -3,100 if paid before the end of the 8th month of pregnancy. Apparently this covered pediatrician while at the hospital
Dr Zimmerman - $1,400 (we hear it's now $1,600)
Total test done - $70
Ultrasound - $150
Pathology- $204, however received a 40 percent discount
Total amount spent was under $5k
Birth Center jaymee Boughton 2813890810,u can mail her on inbloom midwifery services. $3000
Houston North West Medical Centre and Dr C. Gregory Smith before? I learnt fee for normal delivery without epidural is $5k and need to confirm this.
We got a Dr affiliated to Wst Houston Medical Center for $2,200 and hospital payment is also $2,200,
otation (1,600 USD) I got from the OBGYN (Dr. Geoffrey Andrews Zimmerman). That's all inclusive for normal child birth. IF you will be going through a C-section, he charges 2,100 USD. His address and contact are 2222 Greenhouse Road. Suite 300. Houston TX 77084. Tel: 281-398-8484. Note that they close 12.30 pm on Fridays and I think same on Wednesdays. They usually work between 08.30 am and 5.30 pm so you can schedule your calls. I think the best time to call is around 3 pm Niger
N.B: my advise would be that you contact these hospitals personally
Please can you provide any info on accomodation in the houston area. I intend using WHMC. THANKS
