KKH Doc/Gynae experience under subsidized rate

Hi mummies here! I’m mom-to-be, 6wks, done scan today seen heartbeat. Seen doc today. I’m wondering if anyone feels the same experience with the docs at KKH under subsidized (meaning seen by random doc from the team) - It seems to me that the doc are just doing their basic job seeing patient after patient with no passion. When she asked how do I feel, I told her experienced stitch pain, she gave me a very puzzled reaction, what do u mean by that? Asked me if any bleeding (I replied no).. in the end she also never explained why or probe further. When I asked if it’s norm for urine to take a longer few seconds to come out, she paused for 1-2 sec (as thou I am asking for the obvious) and nodded her head. I had the same experience when I was seen by the same team in my last pregnancy in Oct 2021 but unfortunately miscarriage I’m thinking if I want to switch to Private at KKH (so I can choose my Doc). I was also told today I will be refer to high risk care care team after my next visit in May 2022. Any mummies has good experience with private gynae at KKH? Would the ultrasound be done by Doctor or assistant in the Dr’s room kind? Roughly how much per visit for consultation? Any good (or high risk) gynae to recommend? P.S: I’m still considering KKH cos might be twins as I did IVF with 2 embryos fresh trsf. Beta HCG was 3351.5 at 17 days post transfer. Shd know by next scan when around 9wks + I would really appreciate your kind sharing and thoughts. Thank you in advance! 😍😄 #1stimemom

Hi, I am a fellow ivf mummy at 10 weeks. I am now with the high risk team - aka stork centre. Essentially I still see gynae at clinic B like any other mummies but the team of doctors are to care for my condition. I have diabetes prior to ivf pregnancy. Having a singleton now. When I saw the high risk team last week for the first time, I felt quite comfortable with them. They had 2 endocrine doctors to oversee my diabetic condition and 2 gynae, meaning I saw 4 doctors at once in one room. 1 of the endocrine specialist and 1 of the gynae took the lead to address my different questions. They were very nice and helpful towards my questions. They were sort of strict because they were firm on wanting me to adjust my diet even further to control the glucose levels, but I felt taken care of by good professionals. I’m not sure if you wanna change to private now because the costs of the tests would be more ex. For example, FTS under subsidized route is $174, but private is $300 . NIPT is $700 for private route. For subsidized, you need to take FTS, if it’s high risk, you can opt for NIPT, but only pay $300 . If you choose to go straight to NIPT even on subsidized route, then it’s $700 too.
