Yes, anyone here can share the info on Parkcity Medical Centre?
My experiences in Park City Medical Centre isn't regarding the delivery but as in ER and overnight stay in the ward. I had been bringing my toddler to the ER about 4-5 times in a year due to minor incident like cough, fever, fell from bed, bad rashes and recently warded for overnight observation when he bumped his head.
Generally the place is new and clean but very empty ( there is a news store and Subway for eatery, cafeteria is yet to open ). While staff are good manners but a bit short of manpower. Parking is free at the moment. The ward is only on Level 7 and 8 for time being. No specific maternity ward or children ward, starting with 4- bedded room, 2 bedded room, single room, etc.
When my toddler bumped his head on the edge of the furniture, he bleeded quite badly and so we sent him to ER, which he was attended immediately. The Medical Officer paged their in house paed and hearrived within 5 mins. He stopped the bleeding and put on dressing, then he insisted my toddler to stay overnight for observation. We were fine with the arrangement, so my toddler was warded. He was discharged the next day, then the billed totalling close to RM1.2k, a bit shocking for me even though we stayed in a single bedded room. There wasn't any medication nor my toddler was on drip and the Paed just came once in the morning to discharge him.
I couldn't help but to compare this to Prince Court Medical Centre. PCMC is where I delivered my toddler and my toddler is under Dr Anna since Day1. My toddler was warded at PCMC too due to viral fever for 3 days. He was on drip, with medicine and Dr Anna will see him in the morning and evening (however she will only charged once). 3 days in a single bedded room with KLCC view, my bill was amounting to RM1.6k.
Even though the rooms in Prince Court are older than Park City, but it has a fridge and safe, toiletries and towel which are handy for overnight stay. At Park City, we had to bring these on our own. Another thing which I don't like about Park City is the insurance claim. I have to pay RM60 for filling the insurance claim form while in Prince Court, it is FOC. Besides that, we went back for specialist follow up, we were being charged RM5 for medical record while Prince Court has no such charges.
While I was in ER at Park City, I overheard another patient being turned away as they do not have the expertise to handle the case. The patient was experiencing numbness at one sided, the Medical Officer called the Neurologist as patient needs to be scanned with MRI, however Neurologist and the Radiologist were not available, therefore they had to tell the patient to go to other hospitals.
So for serious urgent cases, I think Park City is not ready to support the patients yet. But for minor cases, I will still go back to the ER as I'm staying nearby. I did ask about the delivery package too since I am expecting now, normal delivery is RM5k up and C-Sect is RM10k up. Anyway I'll stick with Prince Court as I am happy with my Gynae and Paed.
