Well, if you can afford it, it's a no brainer. Overall better experience, attentive nurses, husband can be in labour room (gov. hosp., allowed this as well? I'm not sure), husband able to stay overnight on a BED (mine is 3 days 2 night package),

We can have gynea of our choice, better hospital bedding, no housemen running around / handles my wife (I hate this), no rude doctors/nurses (not to say all gov. docs/nurses are rude), we can establish relationship with the gynea from the first checkup till delivery, we can call / WhatsApp him 24/7 ask any shit that we want, we can pick a date to induce, less crowd, more privacy, (can you have pathedine, laughing gas, epidural on demand? Don't know), relax visiting hours.

Throughout the stay, nurses take care of our baby, we can have our rest first. The list goes on.

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.

I delivered my LO in 2012 under elective C-Sect, 4D3N, the bill was RM8.5k, however I extended my stay for 2 weeks (own choice to be pampered), so the bill was RM15k. This time around, I checked with my Gynae, he said the cost is more or less the same. So the range should be RM8k - RM12k (mommy and baby).

Since you are asking then only i share our experience. My wife just deliver our son last week at Pantai KL (or Bangsar).  It was totally a nightmare, my wife was admitted to Pantai on 31st Dec for induction as we wanted to have a new year baby. But she was discharged on the 4th day after 3 times of tablet insertion to soften her cervix + 2 times of membrane sweep. Do note, after induction, you started to feel contraction and it is also very painful when Dr perform the membrane sweep.  This was our first disappointment as this is the first time we heard induce and baby is not coming out.  My wife started to feel real contraction on 2nd day after she discharged from pantai and her water broke on the 3rd day after she discharged. I rushed her to hospital again feeling all excited because this time it was a real labor. The nurses told us we have 12 hours duration for the baby to come out even the water bag rapture.  But we waited for 3 hours then only the doc came to assess my wife. Then she told us we can wait for 24 hours.  Some of the nurses are just not that experienced and the advice they gave u are not consistence. Some of them are nice but not all.

The real nightmare started after we waited for more than 24 hours and yet my wife still not dilated enough (about 9cm).  In between, i did asked the Dr if we can do anything to expedite the dilation process but she said my wife is doing fine (somehow she managed to convince me or she left me with no choice).  We just wait and wait. Finally I couldn't wait any longer and I insist the Dr to come immediately after my wife water bag burst for more than 24 hours. Finally the doc came and checked on my wife, still 9cm and she said need to wait for another 1 - 2 hours. Do note, during that time the baby already exposed to infection since the water already break for more than 24 hours.  Then i asked the doc if we can immediately deliver the baby. She then started to push the cervix open (DAMN PAIN FOR MY WIFE) and i can see even more water rushing out and some of it are blood.  During that time, there weren't any midwive beside the doctor until my wife shouted very loud as she was in pain, then one of the midwife rushed in and immediately she saw the doc started to deliver my baby then she put on the glove and assist the doc. After 1 and half hours my wife using all her strength to push, finally she is tired. Doc used the vacuum to suck my baby's head till the vacuum loosen by itself and my son's skin got peel off. She then started to use forceps but my wife already no more energy to push and doc suggest to go for C-sec.

Our baby boy was born finally but due to he was already exposed to risk of infections for more than 24 hours, he has to be given antibiotic for 3 days and his breathing is not stable and also his lung has water.  He was admitted to NICU for 4 days.

Total damage? >RM20K.

Choose the right doctor, choose the right hospital! The money u paid can earn back, but the life u put ur faith on cannot earn back!  For our case, we have chosen the wrong doctor, the wrong hospital ... We will never go back to that hospital anymore vmad.gif  vmad.gif  vmad.gif

when we reached the hospital, all the midwife also said it's 12 hours. But our doc told us it's 24 hours. haihz ... I did not want to mention our doctor's name here because all these while, she has been a very caring, detailed, patience and soft spoken doctor. But if you guys wanted to know more, you can PM me. Since my complain is not targeting only the doc but the overall experience in pantai bangsar.
