Hospital Name Here: Columbia Asia Puchong
Normal Delivery: ~RM2500
Baby Included: ~RM1000
O&G Specialist: Dr. Loo (Puchong) - Klinik Dr Chia and Loo
Comments:
Rooms:
Very limited rooms, they are always full! - From the time we request for visit until baby is delivered. In the end, we were given a sort of quarantined room with no window (to be fair, they told us beforehand and we agreed - or else we would spend the whole night in labor room)

Discharging under insurance:
Frustrating procedure and lack of proactive explanation on billing under insurance coverage. Our families waited for more than 3 hours (12pm-3pm++) without lunch for getting discharged despite asking the nurses around. In the end, I went to the admission counter and was told to wait until around 6pm before the procedure would complete. Best part was, they told me that since I had paid RM3000 deposit, it was optional for us to wait (?!!!). I immediately asked for discharge and deal the with deposit during our Pediatric visit.

First timer Breastfeeding:
Not enough support for first timer breastfeeding mother. My wife did not get enough support and guidelines in breastfeeding. The nursery staffs did briefly teach my wife but the support, professional information, patience and proactive follow-up were not up to our expectation. Worst of all, during the midnight when our newborn was crying and we asked for help, suspecting that diaper change was required, the nurse came and took him away until the next morning. We were worried if he did not get enough food (from my wife amateur breastfeeding) and I specifically asked if he was fed, the nursery nurse told us "Yes" - when we told them we would try full breastfeeding!

Price:
The only item that we do not have complaint about. Fairly priced and within our expectation.

Picture of the room: (if any) N/A
We visited Dr Ng for 3 times (as backup due we already planned to deliver in Columbia Asia Puchong) before my wife delivered a baby boy under Dr. Loo (Puchong). Overall feeling and comparison are Dr Ng is more detailed and patient attending you and your questions. Competition is stiff in the area with the likes Dr. Chia and Loo as they only charge 60% of how much Dr. Ng (and Columbia Asia Puchong) is charging.
Personal feeling/verdict: If you can afford, Dr Ng is a good option.
