Overall i have had good experience bringing my baby boy to island for check up. I also delivered my baby here and the service was good. Recently I was admitted for appendix surgery at A&E and the staff response and registration was very fast and smooth. The only downside which I experience recently was the follow-up to my surgery with Prof Dr Wong who is a good and efficient surgeon. I passed my card to the nurse at the clinic who did not mentioned I would need to register at the lobby. I only found out after sitting outside of the clinic for 2 hours. I had to wait for another 2 hours as i was the last to register despite being one of the early arrivals. My mistake was assuming the registration would be done by the nurse, which was the process done by my paediatrician Dr Hwang. The nurse took my card in the morning without mentioning anything, prompting me to wait for additional unnecessary hours. Perhaps would be good for the hospital to put a signage outside each clinic to show registration process as different doctors may have different process. *update: received a surprise call from island hospital a day after i posted this, who will schedule my next appointment for me. Appreciate the extra service in response to my comment here
