My OB was Dr Ghada Khalil from Medlink Clinic and she delivers at American Hospital. I cannot fault Dr Ghada. She is very professional, appointments always run on time and she listens to your concerns and gives honest straight to the point answers. After a very difficult first labour in Oz, I needed someone who wouldnt sugar coat things for me. She gave me options and developed a birthing plan for me which worked perfectly. As for American Hospital, the facilities are excellent and the midwives are amazing (and hilarious!). The only thing I could really fault them on is the food - its awful! Hubby ended up bringing me 3 meals a day and I took in heaps of snacks when I was admitted. They have a mini fridge in your room which is handy. All the best with your pregnancy and good luck deciding on Drs and hospitals.

From my research it seems this is the order of preference: [b'>1. Dr Elsa at City Hospital: [/b'>she seems the current most popular choice, haven't heard anything negative! The hospital is very good too [b'>2. American Hospital: [/b'>My sister went to Dr Lakshmi, she was brilliant, and the hospital is very good too [b'>3. Medcare: [/b'>I am going to Dr Shiva here (my insurance doesnt cover the other 2 hospitals), she's very nice and the hospital is good too, they just seem abit overcrowded sometimes so everything is rush rush rush! Best of luck to you! <em>edited by sourskittleash on 18/03/2012</em>

government hospital Why? Lowest C-section rates and best NICU But if you are considering this, check with your insurance first that they would cover it.

Thanks. Realised I didn't ask the question very well!! We seemed to be covered for most hospitals. In the past I've heard good things about the American hospital, City hospital and Medcare. Does anybody have experiences of these hospitals. And how do I choose which Dr to approach? Thanks!
