Good Day House,

Thanks for the invaluable information received on this forum so far. Please My wife would be due in may next year and i want her to travel in march but the thing is as much as i would have wanted her to give birth in El paso Texas via Doctorsperati because of good care / lower costs, she does have family (Her sister and hubby) in Richmond California and would like to monitor and accomodate her, California is expensive so i'd appreciate if anyone can recommend me to:

1) a good doctor/ hospital where she would do all her tests and everything regarding pre and post delivery and paediatric fees for not more than $6500-$7000 max in any state in California, los angeles, san fran cisco etc
2)If any personal details of the doctor exists, can anyone who has such provide tel numbers, emails or fax and less i forget of course the address or website.

Please i'd be very greatful for any such useful information with regards to the above thanks in anticipation guys

Cheers

@Godsbillionaire, just take your time and go through the thread.....particularly the last few pages (4-6) and you'll see a couple of people that recently had their babies in California and you can get more info.from their posts. Eg. Ring of God, Bigdaddy etc..

@Babababy....congrats once again! Time indeed flies and funny how this whole episode is now over in just a jiffy...lol! Have a safe trip back to naija and best regards to the fam.

uchetobi: Congrats RingofGod

Babababy, time flies o! I cant believe its time to come home already. Do have a safe trip. May God do it for all of us still counting down

@Uchetobi have you made up your mind on your doctor or hospital? ie. WHMC or Methodist? Either ways, wishing you the very best and God's speed dear. Keep us posted.

[quote author=Finance+Fitness]Hi babababy, what hospital did you use and how much did it cost in total. Please specify kind of delivery. [/quot

Hi,just ckick in babababy and you will see all previous post,hospital contact and full details . Vagina birth.

Thanks a lot ,@nikkygal,@uchetobi,@favored gal,@hardeymijuh. Pray everybody scales through as well. I will surely be checking up here to see if anyone still need additional help. god luck guys.

@nikkygal..amen, .thanks a lot. I am leaning towards WHMC because i have been unable to get a proper breakdown for methodist

What dr did you use? Im leaning towards dr la because of the people on this thread and have set up an appointment. My sis in law is recommending dr. Korhonen because my other sister inlaw used him 7 years ago...i am wary though because his online recommendations ain't great because of his age and how he is always tired, leans towards CS, etc

She also recommended dr Rizk because her friend also used him but i haven't called yet sha

Also do you know if physician fee differ from doctor to doctor in the same hospital

please i nid posible suggestions and advise regarding my case. I got a 2year usa visa(b1/b2) july dis year. My purpose was to attend an academic conferenc but the purpose was nolonger achieved due to dis on going ASUU strike. I intend to travel in feb to have my baby( but was not pregnant as at wen i went for my inteview and my questions were just centered on the conference). I am abit scared since my intial purpose of going to d usa was not achieved.

I am thinking of looking for another conference after which i proceed to where i intend to have my baby or D̶̲̥̅̊ö i just say i am coming for holidays if asked my purpose of being in the usa. Kindly advise

Well, I used Dr La... but it was because he was actually recommended to me by a close colleague of mine. Truth is it seems like everyone using WHMC these days is using Dr La and am beginning to think, isn't there any other alternative? Lol! But I guess most pple just use 'the same person their friend used' esp. since he's already familiar with the whole naija arrangement lol! Even though there are lots of gyneas with WHMC.

Seriously though, you could use Dr La as I've not gotten any negative feedback from anyone yet about his services. As per doctors charges, I think it varies from doctor to doctor oh! The only thing is that most of them just try to benchmark against each other and try to charge within the same range so as not to price themselves out of the market esp.for regular medical services like maternity...

I'll try to help ask a friend of mine that had her baby in methodist for her doctors name and pass on the info. What of your friend that used methodist as well? Any info from her? It's always good to compare notes oh.. so that you're sure you're getting a good deal.

Let me know how far sha. Take it easy hun!

Great Work everyone, really impressed with the information on this trend....

Keep up the good work and all the best to all future mothers

favored gal: @Finance+Fitness Haba! Take the pains to read up his past post na...he has given a very detailed information

@babababy...safe trip back....nice one...

@mousepad...howfar? You don born? The lord is your strength

@ hardeymijuh....how was your apointment with dr la? I hear he uses both whmc and memorial hermann...did you get the breakdown for memorial hermann or you are just sticking with whmc?

@favored gal,
My wife's first appointment with Dr La went well. I asked Dr La if he used Memorial Hermann, he said he doesn't use them anymore and that WHMC is cheaper. We were able to do most of the tests in Naija so that helped us saved some money, we have paid $2775 so far. This includes doctors fees, a full scan, and other lab tests that are compulsory in the US.

We are yet to pay for the hospital fees ($2500), my wife will be paying that next week. Guess she will be seeing emispackage next week....

so far I am impressed with the service received at Dr La Office and i have no regrets. I have also referred 2 persons since my wife's last appointment with him.

Thanks emispackage for your support.
