hi - i just wanted to share my experience - i have just completed my 20 weeks and was really looking forward to my scan today at city hospital radiology dept.
The Good news is: baby is normal and healthy - which is THE most important part however the experience was very bad with City. the radiology department seemed very unorganized (made us wait for over 40 mins, the receptionist did not have basic information sitting at front desk etc... however we were really looking forward to the first big scan experience and seeing the baby upclose... we were quiet disappointed to see the facilities - very old machines and 3d was very bad quality - we could hardly see the baby as the machine was not advanced enough...the worst is they charged us for the scan and set the appt with a radiologist DR Priya at City hospital and she didnt turn up until the last 5 mins of the scan and everything was done by the nurse. which i think is really bad as why should i pay and book a time with a Dr and she is not even there during the scan. she came in the last 5 mins... spoke briefly - got two phone calls within the 5 mins and left.

it was very disappointing as our 12 week scan was with Dr. George at Genesis and were expecting the same level of mature discussion - when we asked Dr Priya for specific details, she said she will send the report to my dr????!!!! She was very impersonal and abrupt! when i asked her for a proper view of the baby, she said she cant provide it as the baby is too big... huh??!! at 20 weeks really?

we complained and now will pay extra at genesis/perinatal just to get a decent scan and someone to speak to us properly than a nurse doing a silent scan and a DR entering in the last 5 mins to actually contribute nothing!

My dr is City based and we have always been referred to the Fetal Medicine Center - think that says quite a bit about the city scanning????
