My Favorite Paediatrician

This is not a paid review or something like that. Simply sharing and recommending a good doctor. :)

Every mother has a favorite paediatrician and mine is Dr Lai Boon Hai of Pantai Cheras Medical Centre.

By the way, if you scratching you head, Paediatrician is a medical practitioner specialized in children.

Dr. Lai had been there when baby was born. He was the one who caused me anxiety by telling me that my baby had been infected with jaundice. Being a new mom, a young one some more, I have no idea what the heck was jaundice back then. Almost gave me an heart attack.

What made me like Dr. Lai so much is, he speaks HOKKIEN! I don't know where he is from but he speaks and understands my dialect which makes communicating with him so much easier. You know, English speaking doctors have like a mouthful of medical jargon(s) that most of the time, I just nod away but at the back of my head, I actually don't know what they are talking about, but I don't bother to ask because I don't get it anyway. Besides Hokkien, he also speaks perfect English, Cantonese and Mandarin if you are wondering.

And the weirdest thing about having a favorite paed is, you have to return no matter what because the sickness won;t go away if we didn't bring our baby to see him.

Okay for example, there was one time, my baby had a serious phlegm problem, and Dr. Lai was away so we had gone and see another paed in the same hospital. Baby was then hospitalised for 3 days. After he was discharged, the phlegm problem was still there, and he was still having fever on and off. So we went back to Dr. Lai and like magic, the fever and fever gone in 2-3 days after taking his medicines. Unbelievable.

Now that we've moved to PJ, we still took 45-60 minutes drive all the way to Pantai Cheras Medical Centre to see Dr. Lai when needed. LOL.

So if you are looking for a reliable paediatrician, you can try Dr. Lai because he is experienced and he is very friendly and it doesn't cost a bomb to see him. :D
