Hey everyone,

Just found out about a bun in my tum :) :) Would love to have any recommendations on a good OB/GYN ..Unable to decide between Dr. Grace Jacob / Dr Rajlakshmi. I think Dr Grace consults at Dubai Mall Medical Center and delivers in City. Dr Raj is with AH...
My insurance doesn't cover AH in full that apart will love to hear any recommendations on who to go to.
My older one was a C Sec born back home in London (NHS !!!!) go am guessing this too would be an elective C Sec.

This won't help in your choice, but I had Dr Braithwaite at AH and she was fantastic from start to finish. If we get pregnant again I'll definitely be going straight back to her!

I had a horrendous experience with Dr Raj. I chose her based on recommendations on here as at that time i was very new here and didn't know anyone. Horrible. However AH was amazing, staff amazing and for baby num 2 it will be AH for me again no doubt about it. Just chosen another doc. I made appointments with the other obn/gyn and chose the one that made me feel the best and comfortable. good luck

IMHO you should not chose your doctor based on your medical insurance but on the doctor that makes you feel the most comfortable and the one that can help you have the kind of birth that YOU want. if possible meet with a few doctors and select based on who feels right and gives you all the time in your appointment you need to ask any questions you may have. congratulations on your pregnancy and remember that birth is a very personal experience...not everyone will feel the same way about a doctor as you. though in saying all that, i had dr raj at american and even though she didn't make it to my birth (quick one) i would recommend her without hesitation.

Please don't go to Dr. Grace she was negligent in my pregnancy and almost killed my baby. There is a negligence report pending for her with the hospital and also DHA.

My 2nd one was an elective c-sec due to my 1st being an emergency c-sec and the dr knew the history etc. I was very fortunate to have the same dr. Dr Ulrich at Welcare. He was absolutely brilliant both times and I have almost no c-sec scar to show for it. I would recommend him as you will be in great hands for sure.

Congratulations:) I would recommend either Dr. Raj at AH or Dr. Elsa at City Hospital. Both are fabulous and come very well recommended. I would suggest you pick your doctor based on the hospital that your insurance would cover. Both the ladies are fantastic, just go with the place where u don't have to deal with claiming insurance and waiting for ages for the checque to arrive. You will anyways have quite a few things to follow up and worry about in your pregnancy, insurance issues should be the last on your mind. That's my take. Good luck!
