When I was searching this app for recommended gynaes, a few names popped up, mainly Dr Su Lin Lin and Dr Citra. They are in very high demand so you gotta book them early. I wanted Dr Citra but unfortunately she wasn't available :( but I went with Dr Vanaja and she was great too! She has great rapport with her team. Only thing is she's also very busy cos she's got a lot of patients under her belt too hahaha but she's very friendly and personable. Other than that, waiting time can be long or short, depends on your luck. I personally enjoyed my experience during delivery. The team was very quick, skilled and experienced. No setbacks or hiccups. My delivery experience was excellent. Only drawback for going private is the price. Gosh, for a private patient in a govt hosp I wasn't expecting to pay TOO much. But I paid really more than expected 🥲

I switched over to NUH private after 20 weeks. Prior to that I was with another doctor at a private clinic. Once I switched to NUH, I got the antenatal (or prenatal?) package around $1200++ (not inclusive of the first consultation with the doctor as well as your supplements/meds). Along the way depends on doctor's requirements, might need extra scans/tests that are not included in your package. I had to undergo an extra fa scan at around $200+ cos I had fibroids and a big baby.
