sugah:
I think someone mentioned this a few pages back but the people asking for ETC contact missed it.
ETC (as most other things like invitation letter and change of intent letter) has been abused hence the embassy has suspended the issuance to minors. If you are leaving the US in the next couple of weeks your options are either a Nigerian passport, Nigerian Visa or visa on Arrival for your child.

I used Dr z of oakbend but delivered in Houston Methodist. Hospital is topnotch. Nurses n staff are courteous and nice. Dr z is affiliated with d hospital. The new bill difference btw d w is $35 so I can a well feel like person why go born for America without seeing toomuch black....
Hospital bill is $2535. For both hospital epidural is 1500 n will be refunded if you don't use it.
The paediatrician I mentioned earlier has his office in oakbend pop d waiting room of Dr z but he can vvisit in houston Methodist...
Awaiting my zero balance from Houston

New oakbend mamas to be, calm down!

You don't bring a paediatrician to the hospital at birth. They have a group that handles dat (NICS). You are not in anyway allowed to source for your paediatrician. After birth, for follow up visits, they normally refer you to someone or you can make a choice yourself. For example, in my baby's discharge note, I was referred to Dr Bornstein of Pediatric Center, Richmond. I used them but later realised it was too far from where i stayed so I switched to Caring Hands Pediatrics (Dr Adesina). There are lots of pediatricians around town that you can use.

@feddy27

Thanks for this info!

bubelahot:

There is pediatrician in oakbend. His name is hasnain shahid. He is Indian...

Hello @phabulouschy, congratulations on your fruitfulness and easy delivery in Jesus Christ name, Amen.

I used Dr. Ezekiel, she is affiliated with oakbend medical center.She billed me 1900.

You can try and contact them or Google Dr. Ezekiel Adidah
They will surely reply your mails and give all necessary information needed.

All the best. Cheers!

ifeoluwakintan:
Thanks to God for a successful journey to and fro. Thank God for a smooth delivery and thank you to everyone who helped and contributed to the success of this forum. Thank you ozycy.

I returned back to Nigeria last week after 6 weeks in America on this missionary journey.

All bills were as expected at Oakland using Dr. Ezekiel according to ozycy bill in PART 2 of this thread.

Got baby Birth certificate 5 days after delivery
SSN came in 7 days after delivery
Blue Pali the next 7 days after delivery
Nigerian visa through tanko on the 10th day after delivery all excluding weekend.


BA made some mistakes on baby's ticket couldn't travel on the expected date but was compensated by checking in all our 13 bags including car seat all for free.

To God alone be all the glory.

@ifeoluwakintan

Thank God for safe delivery and return to Nigeria may His name be praised. Pls I am a FTM I am considering using Oakbend how ever I don't have a Dr yet, can u be kind enough to give me d contact of d Dr u used and other information that can help me.

Thank you and God bless you!

NaijaMama:


I'll be using a birth center in Katy Texas, but I'm in Lagos. I was thinking of breaking my flight through New York because of the issues I've read about with Houston POE but after I read another poster that with have any issues with $8k on her, I decided I'll just go through Houston and pray all goes well.

Let's hook up though. I'll like to have a partner in this journey.

@NaijaMama

Thanx for your responds, I tried to send u a mail, but it wouldn't go through I am also following, kindly send me ur email for easy communication. Cheers
