Good Gynecologists

[Ruerandom]

Hello!

I know this has been asked, but I really do need to know ... Does anyone know of an English speaking gynecologist in the Taichung area?

Thanks!

Does anyone know how much it would be if you don't have a jienbao ka? It's slightly inconvenient that I don't have one, but I'm hoping it won't be off the charts expensive. ><

I recommend Dr. Yao from Cardinal Tien hospital (耕莘醫院)in Yonghe, Taipei County. Great, older female ob/gyn. Here's the hospital's website.

I've been to Cheng Tsung Lin OBS/GYN clinic on Heping E. Rd close to the Liuzhangli (brown line) MRT exit. The doctors there are pretty good, but use caution if they give you a short supply of medicine. Go back the day you stop taking to see if the infection is gone. Otherwise you will just get reinfected. The phone number is (02) 2733-7008. I think the hours are 9-12 3-6 and 7-10 each day except Sunday.

Anybody know Bernice Chen's new hours or a phone number to call?? Last time I went to the hospital during those hours but the hours had changed...problem was, I couldn't read the schedule and didn't know her Chinese name.

Zhongshan Hospital's phone number is 02-2708-1166. We always just say Bernice and they know who we need. Another good gynecologist there is Jean Chang.

Thanks so much piwackit! Made an appointment for 4pm tomorrow!

Had a great experience with Bernice Chen! I felt that she really took her time and I didn't feel like I was rushed in and out. She actually took a culture and sent it to the lab, which hasn't been my experience with gynecologists thus far. Her hours are quite limited, only Wednesday 3-4:30 and Friday 4-5pm at Zhongshan Hospital. She also does hours at another PCC which doesn't accept NHI. Highly recommend!

I had a nice experience at the Taipower Hospital (near Guting). They also did a culture and said it would be about 2-3 weeks to get results. I don't know if this is common knowledge or not, but women over 30 can get a free pap each year, so the visit didn't cost me a dime.

Hey!

I was wondering if any hospital here provides Mirena as birth control (and a gyno who can properly place one). I asked my gynecologist about BC pills, but he was very vague. I've been researching and Mirena seems like a great option.
