hi Fue1,

PLEASE WHO IS DOCTOR Z? Is it Ezekiel? Thank you

@ everyone.

Hello!

After reading some of the earlier posts, I agree with Yefa.

I am currently at richmond Houston using DR Z. And Oakbend medical center and i must say the service is very good.

I started by getting the contact of Dr Z and asking for a comprehensive breakdown of the process before applying for my visa.


This was what i was given

Doctors requirement:
Initial visit $190
Lab $270
Vaginal delivery $2200

Hospital fee (oakbend)
Hospital charge $2300
Pediatrician $320

Other fees
Anesthesia for epidural in labour $850

Estimated COST for vaginal delivery $6130

And C/S can be $6630.

There is also a $150 scan fee.

This is the exact price i told the VO, the US immigration officers upon arrival and the value I just paid on 02/Dec/2014.

For me this place offers a great price plus Dr Z and his team were very supportive and quite professional.

The VO most people come in contact with, just want to see your financial capability to handle the delivery bill and accommodation requirements plus they will ask you straight forward questions and would like HONEST straight forward answers because they can detect inconsistencies.

not at all cost o....I just dey play safe as pa where people have given reports, I got some from Dr. La. i will send mails to this hospitals and compare prices. Thank you.

Is there a specific reason why you want to use El-Paso (Del Sol) at all cost. I thought some thread members mentioned how flags were raised at the embassy about their package.

If you're going to Texas, there are other hospitals and doctors whose bills compare favourably as well. Do your research on the following hospitals;

West Houston Medical Centre
OakBend Hospital Richmond
Ben Taub
Houston Northwest
Houston Methodist

use google to check their websites and start to call or e-mail their doctors.

Babatwi,

i was actually taking your advice by asking for a doctors letter, it must not be del sol o. kindly assist me as you have stated, am new here so i don't even know how to send a pm. my email is sendivirgo@yahoo.com. thank you so much.

Babatwi:


@ SAkale

Must it be Del sol medical centre or doctoresparati letter? Even after they have told you that the embassy people MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT accept their letter. I had told you on an earlier post, and i will tell you again . Get in touch with another doctor e.g. Dr Fagbohun or some other doctor that accepts email appointment booking,send them an email that you want to come to the us to give birth,they will reply you with an email telling you that they are willing to accept you and they will also attach the breakdown of their bills on the email, all this is free o,you no go pay any kobo.,most doctors will not charge you for this.You can use this as burden of proof for your visa application and at POE. Once you enter America ,you can then go the El paso route or even decide to have your baby in Alaska,na u sabi,no body will stress you on that,the koko is to enter yakee 1st. I hope i have answered your question.
I can give you like two doctors in Texas that would respond to your email , send me a pm if you need it or search this thread,i know ppl have had this same problem,even me too had the same issue,that is why i can advice you properlly.

i tired contacting the Del sol Medical centre to get a letter from a physician there and they keep refering me back to Doctores Para ti. any ideas how else i can go about it?? if i got to Health grade and get a physician wount the person charge me differently? and if so wnt the physician want me to use the hospital he is domiciled? how i go do am?

i said many responses not at all na my dear.....i asked two more questions

pattyreal:

Please Desert-orange, kindly help me out, did you use their letter to get your visa or you had another visa from another doctor in the hospital> ? how was your flight arranged>? what airline? please can we link up?

Hello Firsttimer,
I hope I can answer answer as best to clear everybody's doubts. One thing I must point out is that the letter of medical responsability that they send is very thoughtfully written. The people who have enrolled know what Im talking about. It is a big help if you decide to use it, and it is an extra step thet they take to trying to help international patients. Here are the answers to your questions, If there are more, Ill try to answer them all as soon as I can God bless

1. All very well, and it was included for myself in the obstetric package.
2. I followed the advice of one one the previous patients on this forum and expedited the birth certificate via vitalchek.com which doctoresparati has that info on the website.
3. Also, I got the information from this forum (god bless all the people that have contributed to this forum) and got an attorney to apply for the visa while in El Paso. I have to admit, when I told other patients here many were surprised. I didnt know if it was possible and I was ready to go to washington like everybody else. Fortunately that was not necessary. BTW, even the people at doctoresparati were surprised when I mentioed this was possible!
4. I think it was less than 2 weeks
5. If you move and do all things as you are supposed to, it is possible to have your documents (passport/visa) ready in 2 weeks. I wasnt in a big hurry and wasted some time so i ended up leaving a month after delivery. I think its always best to plan as if its going to be a month.

Also, as many people have stated, houston and atlanta are not the best place to do your POE. I heard many stories about the officials returning anybody and evrybody they see pregnant from the Nigeria. Best options are new york (jfk) and dallas to El Paso. El Paso officers are great! Very kind and friendly, you will have no problem when you arrive to El Paso.

thank you for your response Babatwi, so there is no one that got a visa based on their letter alone? if yes, please guide me on getting a credible doctor. Del sol Medical centre is the hospital they use, if i get a letter from a doctor there will it work?

Dear US Birth Team,

I have been reading this trend and will like clarification on some issues i noticed.....

Is it that it has been proved that EL Paso through doctoresparati.com is not a good choice or, PeaceNigeria and other new moms are just having a little misunderstanding that has led to confusing me a bit on making a choice. Kindly clarify the best option for Birth in USA. I will really appreciate this ASAP.


Kindly respond anyone....

Thank you.
