Morning pigy,
Not very sure what are the good gynae in KKH. Because Dr. Tham used to be a gynae of KKH until he switches to TMC. Now his KKH patients mostly transferred to John. My experience with him during the pap smear test is that I find he is rather soft spoken so I couldn't catch his words too well and to me, he sounded very mono. But maybe he doesn't have a good day or too stressed up with many transferred patients. That is why I chose to stick with Dr. Tham. However, if u do a search on Dr. John in KKH, there are many positive reviews. He is also quite professional.
Around 2~3yrs back of my experience staying in KKH is that the lactation is quite good and patient. They really help and it's all thanks to them that I gain my knowledge on how to breastfeed and the posture. If that is your first time, u may also consider the anternal course there. U will learn a lot of things.
I stayed in a 4 bedded ward but it was very noisy as the nurse will wheel in the babies to different patients every 2 hours for breastfeeding. I did not sleep the whole night hence, I asked for discharge the next day.... As for the cost in KKH, it's cheaper. But also depends. My case was a smooth delivery with epidural. So, only 1 night and smooth delivery with epidural is cheap.
