Hi. I'm using Emory Midtown. That's where Dr Tate takes deliveries. For a vaginal delivery using a doctor like mine ( a doctor outside of emory with rights to deliver in emory), I am required to pay 3900 for the use of the facility and 425 for epidural. Total 4325. The doctors bill is not included in this amount.

I suggest you google Emory and contact them on details on delivery billing. They repsond satisfactorily.

Please my dear, is it the Emory at midtown you are using? And if yes, what estimate did the hospital give you for the type of delivery you are going into. My thanks

Not true!

I used dr. tates in 2014. He delivered bth myslf n my sis in law as our edds were jst a week apart frm each other. Yes he has residents that learns n helps out yle he performs d delivery hmslf but thats about it. Tates is veeeeryyyy good and also very highly respectes at Emory. All d nurses n other docs shake once u say ur Tates's patient. Am preggy again and would like 2 use him again but 4 accommodation constraints. Pls note dt most of ds hosps n docs treat self payin patients difrently frm yankee peeps who r on insurance, kinda like ow in hosps u go here private patients get a better treatmnt dan hmo patients. As such posts abt d docs n hosp may nt exactly b wot u shd b relyin on.lukin at n.y hosps n som nairalanders hav suggested som 2 me with not so good reviews as well.but i knw better dan 2 mek a dcsn based on ds reviews.instd il call up ppl i knw in n.y 2 find out abt d hosp 4 me. If u ask ne1 in atlanta deyl tel u dt emory n northside r d best 2 deliver in. And ds, i can attest to.

Hello! Thanks for your comment!! Appreciated!.Well i did a satisfactory research and 90% of his reviews appear positive ( including but not restricted to nairaland mums). I have had my first appointment and I am comfortable with him. On availability to take deliveries, a few mums i met on the Emory hospital tour actually picked him for his reputation of being there for the delivery. People have different experiences i guess, but i am happy to apply the 80/20 principle in this case.

This Dr. Tate I hear he allows residents do his patient's delivery. I checked him out on Healthgrades...and Emory too didn't have good reviews for their Obstetrics dept. Not to scare you but do your research well. Had my child 2 years in Northside and that place is the best so far, as far as child delivery is concerned in Georgia.[/quote]
