Hi,
     I delivered my second baby girl in Riyadh care hospital.  I had the best care there in Riyadh care. There are doctors of different nationals u can opt from them I feel all are good.
Take care..

I Suggest that for Consultation Olaya Medical Center and Hamadi Hospital are Good.

For Delivery Dalah Hospital have Very Good doctors and then Hamadi Hospital.

There is one Dr. Nayyar (Paksitani) in Obaid Hospital, Highly Experienced.

You can check out Thuriah medical center in Khurais Road, beside MBC office and next to King Faisal Specialist hospital. They are specialists in fertility and other issues related to women specifically.

My advice is as following:

Best 3 in Riyadh are:
- Suleiman Al-Habib
- Dallah Hospital
- Takhassusi Hospital

Regarding Hammadi, although is has very good reputation among people here but i don't recommend it at all, because it's like a 2-stars hotel compared to Dallah and SH

All Dallah doctors are very good specially Dr. Mumtaza, and Dr. Suheer Mohammad

One last advice, don't try to go to Kingdom Hospital because they're thieves.

Freshlikesushi

Lol. How so with kingdom hospital


You cant just make accusations with no causation

Dr Joseph at Shifa Al Jazeera hospital main Batha is best

There is clinic - named Thuria next to MBC office in Makkah Road, you need to take a u - turn at the panda signal, where King Faisal Specialist Hospital is also. Coming back on Makkah road you will find this clinic to your right hand side and they are experts in this area.

Al-hammadi Doctors Are Good, But disappointed with Reception Services. When I Went First Time and Asked For Indian Gyne Doctor's Appointment, Reception Said Indian Doctor Is Not Available, And They Given Pakistani Doctor Appointment, After My Appointment, I Saw Indian Doctor Is Available Just beside the Room of Pakistani Doctor and Treating The Patients. However Pakistani Dr. Tazneem Treated Well.
Atleast Reception people should say that Indian doctor is Available but you need to wait for your turn or come tomorrow. I really disappointed with reception services..

Dr Tazeen Piracha [Al Hammadi] is highly recommended gynecologist from the day one till delivery. The Indian Gynecologist in Olaya Medical Clinic referred one of my friend to Dr Tazeen because she couldn't handle few complications.

khan2979

@Muhammad Aamer Thanks for the suggestion.
One of my friend has not good experience with Tazeen. But most of them recommended to consult doctors in Hammadi.

Muhammad Aamer

Well it all depends upon us, how we succeed in getting special attention. You know what I mean? :p

We did not have a good experience with Dr. Shaheena Shafiq @ Olaya Medical Center. We went to her after a recommendation from my friend, but to our surprise, the way Dr. handled the case was not competent enough. She shared the doubts about the pregnancy case as if my wife was her medical colleague. She came and apologized for the error, but my wife did not want to see her again so we had to shift.

It is quite difficult to find good doctors in Saudi Arabia and the news disclosed about hundreds of doctors with fake certificates in Saudi practicing medicine.


We are now consulting with Dr. Tazeen Piracha and my wife is pleased with the doctor. She kept her informed about all the possible complications in her pregnancy and advised her on all aspects. We have another appointment in 2 weeks.

May Allah be with all of us.

Bro,

is Axa insurance covering in SMC?
How is the services? Who is best gynochologist in there?

my wife has to deliver our first baby Insha Allah on April second week.

I had an amazing birth experience with Dr Shazia Maqsood in Sulaiman Al Habib hospital Khurais road. After one previous caesarean, she encouraged me to deliver normally. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical but she successfully talked me into a VBAC and gave me her personal number to contact in case of emergency. As promised, she was there at 3 am in the morning to help me deliver our son who was a whopping 3.8 kg. She encouraged my husband to cut the baby's cord and gave me enough time to nurse my baby at birth.The best thing about Dr Shazia is her smiling and pleasing personality and her professionalism. Each time we saw her at her clinic, she greeted us by standing up for us. During my labor, she was as caring as a mother. After my delivery, when I went to see her back, she was vigilant to offer me a breast check, a pap smear and took her time to discuss contraception with me and my husband.Feeling Blessed and would recommend Dr Shazia to anyone looking for an exceptionally caring gynecologist in Riyadh.

Kindly share your experiences with Dallah hospital..My doctor is Saba Hamedi and she has planned c.section for me as i have few complications.Please provide your suggestions regarding the same doctor and the hospital.Also  share your experiences with Obeid hospital (Dr.Nayar) which is actually quite near to my place.Am in a fix.

Mani187

My sister and a few family friends all had their deliveries rake place at Dallah hospital and we're more than satisfied with their care.

I like Saudi German Hospital. They're a little pricey, but quite good. My employer Princess Nora University doesn't pay for health insurance anymore, so I have to go to government clinics now. But when I really need help, like for my skin rashes, I like SGH. They're on King Fahad Road I believe.
