Hi, I gave birth last year in columbia puchong. Under Dr.Ng Soon Pheng. i super like the doctor and nurse service there. they are well-train, friendly, support me on breastfeed, teach me correct way on bf. I go for c-sec and the nurse very concern on me.. keep on come into the room and ask me still pain or not, nee any help from them or not .... >.<

I super satisfy their service. I will definitely go back there again for my 2nd pregnancy.

Hi Chloe,

I have been to both hospitals before for checkups. At Sunway, my OB-GYN was Dr. Wong Chin Yuan, he's a highly-praised OBGYN there (even won himself an award or sth). But my final decision goes to Dr. Silvam at Columbia Asia Puchong. I have also had experience with Dr. Ng Soon Pheng before, I will tell you about it later.

Reasons for choosing CA over Sunway:

1) Appointment system sucks at Sunway. You can only make appointments either for Morning session or Afternoon session. Once you register, you're on first come first serve basis, this I understand, but the queue is always super long and places to sit are v. limited. Whereas, at CA, you can call in and say you need to make an appointment at 1130am, they will quickly check if the slot is OK. Very efficient.
2) Parking space is limited at Sunway. It's a more popular medical centre compared to CA, so you can imagine ppl are always fighting for parking spaces.
3) Sunway has more F&B outlets for sure, but CA is smaller and doesn't take you many floors to get to your OBGYN.
4) Delivery cost wise,CA has better price. That's for sure.

Nurse wise: I won't say that CA has the best nurses in Malaysia, some of them are quite inexperienced actually. But as long as you get yourself a good OBGYN, you wont see bad nurse as one of the important factors to decide which hospital to go to.

Now, about Dr. Silvam. He's a v. down-to-earth OB-gyn who respects his patient's decision on delivery options. I had always wanted to have Vaginal birth. He made it happen for me. Smooth and fast. In less than 2 hours, from dilating until delivery, everything was smooth, without Epidural. He did not even persuade me to give in to Epidural, and said that he's very proud of me for NOT taking it. The whole bill ended up 3000 for 3 days 2 nights in private room for both baby and I.

Dr. Ng Soon Pheng on the other hand, was an unpleasant encounter for me. My first visit to him, he told me that C-section is the safest delivery option for women. I told him I would not want a C-section, if I had a chance to deliver baby naturally, but he kept persuading me vaginal birth is risky and dangerous. Later on, he explained to me 4D baby scan is 100% harmless to babies. I don't know how true that is. Anyway, I never go back to him.

Hope this information helps!

Hi Chloe,

I also deliver @ CA end of last year under Dr Chia via natural induce.
The service there was good.  The midwife and nurses during my session was very good n experience and keep come to monitor me and talk to me during my labour process.  Quite comfortable with the environment compare to sunway medical (especially ward environment). But really is depends on the availability of single room. When i admitted i cant get single room and was put under waiting list. After deliver also cant get single room cos still full. But i consider lucky cos i was the only patient in my twin sharing room . Nursery nurses oso better compare to sunway medical through my observation during i visit my fren who just deliver in sunway medical.
