Dr. Loo at Columbia Asia in Bukit Rimau is 'full'. They will re-direct you to another malay lady doctor who is quite new in the hospital. If you still want Dr. Loo, go to her clinic in Bukit Tinggi Klang and then you can deliver by her at Columbia Asia later - but she only goes to the clinic on Tuesday 3pm....Queue is super long..registration starts at 2pm by the nurses..Other days, it is her husband Dr. Soh

yeah...coz I called the hospital first beginning of the year, they wouldn't even pass me to her..just said 'Dr. Loo is full, but we have another dr...also a lady..memang tak terima lagi patient untuk Dr Loo'

So I called her clinic, they said ok. I've been seeing her since Jan. But really...on Tuesday, I'll be there like at 130pm the latest...even then I would be maybe number 9, so if she is on time and come in at 3pm, I would only get to see by by 4+pm. They don't give out numbers but the nurses looks at who was waiting first before the 2pm

The thing is there are plenty of ppl (especially husbands) crowding at the counter right before 2pm and pushing their wife's card or IC at the nurse..trying to skip queue..some men even said 'number 7, number 7' when he was clearly only there at 2pm and would put him around patient numbered 16 or 17...good thing the nurses were quite alert, but at times, really overwhelming numbers of patients..So if you are there at 2pm..I think by the time it is your turn, it would have been 6pm already....

Do you remember what was the delivery price like for your wife back then? Mine should be very soon, in about 8 weeks time..havent asked about price yet

Once register, the nurse will put you in queue, you can then ask her what number you are and then come back later...but really some men can be a nuisance LOL (Scolded the nurse because halfway Dr Loo received a call from hospital, someone is in labor, he scolded the nurse and said he waited so long how can the doctor just leave..I wonder how he feels if his wife was the one in labor)

That is very expensive, may I know what was the breakdown of the treatment cost?

Anybody has any feedback for Dr. Rama Krishna Kumar from Columbia Asia Bukit Rimau?

Dr. Loo is a female..I dont know about Columbia Asia in Cheras, sorry

Yup, delivered through her. Charges at the clinic is cheaper than at the hospital but she only goes to the clinic on tuesday 3pm onwards. At the hospital is Rm120, at the clinic is RM80 for blood test RM300 at the clinic, not sure how much at the hospital though...only did 1 blood test anyway

Yeap..system is bad since the Clinic is actually her husband's (also he doesn't really have much patients and Dr. Loo is only available on Tuesday so I reckon that Dr Soh doesn't need the system)

Anyway at the clinic it work this way..

Dr Loo comes in at 3pm, registering starts at 2pm and because she has a lot of patients (since hospital is full and doesnt want more patient, a lot of ppl just go to her clinic so that they can still be delivered under her). Because of that people actually goes in as early as 1245pm. The nurses doesn't let you register but they take note of who was there first right up to 15 people.

So at 2pm, when the nurses starts taking registration, they take the cards accordingly. It is just that those who came later, they try to jump queue and goes to the counter to 'pretend' that they were earlier than so-and so since the nurse doesnt remember all ppl pass 15 sometimes 10 if it is that indian nurse

also those who are there earlier, they actually watch out for other patients..like they will say this person is after me and that person is next. only Those that goes in later try to shove the cards at the nurses..this is bad

and I asked them why dont they give out numbers and they said its because some will just drop by or ask husband to come in at 12+ to take numbers and then goes off and don't come in at 3pm when dr loo is there and they come at their own sweet time like 5pm and expect to be seen first (eventhough their turn has passed). So they gave up on the numbering system.

Once at 2pm when you have given your card/IC for 1st timer, you can leave to have lunch or do whatever and come back at 3pm...I've experience before when I was person number 13 and I waited till 515pm before I was seen (generally normal check is between 10mins unless those that is already in their 3rd trimester or those of high risk), so I will go in at 1250pm and wait till 2pm (I know it's a waste of time but no choice coz hospital refer me to another doctor) and I would be maybe number 4 or so and I will be done before 330pm. I go off for lunch or buy stuff after they collect my card.

And yes, the nurse can be very rude!!! The hospital is better, they will register you as you enter (if they still accept patient under Dr Loo, better go to hospital, otherwise they will ask you to go under 2 other OBGYN (a man and another lady)

I always park at giant and walk across. Next trip when you are there, regardless what time, just go to the counter and ask 'Dr hari ini datang pukul 3 kan?' you know...just say something so that they remember you...sometimes Dr Loo can be late if she has delivery or surgery to do

Anyway, enjoy your pregnancy and don't stress...everything you do is for the baby. I have also pm-ed you.

I have to be seen by Dr Soh twice because Dr Loo has got delivery to do. Didn't like him the 1st time and hated him the second time. But long story not meant to be posted here. Same price So I choose the gynae that I am comfortable with
