The people at the reception + the doctor were the absolute best from the moment we got in, till we left. Situation: *Travel insurance taking forever to send the approval for the consultation, even though they were the ones sending me to this particular clinic in the first place (I'll go deeper into this when I review them). *Receptionist calling them non-Stop on my behalf to get said approval so that I wouldn't pay the 500HKD fee. *The doctor saw we were having problems with the approval, he called me and said "let's take care of you first, we'll worry about them later" (Shout out to Dr. Cheong Hung Kei, Edmund, I seriously love you) All in all 5 Star service. Thank you for the Magic Parwayhealth Medical Centre :)

I've been coming here for 3 years and have always had a great experience. The staff, nurses and…read moredoctors are great. Dr. Charles has provided caring, informed support from whatever I may be needing. From a simple stomach bug, to yearly health checks. The nursing staff are all so kind. Today, Pauline was extremely helpful and provides great service. Finally, Jenny at the front desk is always a joy. She is informed, ready to help and always kind on the phone. Thank you to the full central health team for years of great service in Hong Kong, and many more to come.

Central Health was originally a obstetrics and paediatric health care service, but has since become…read morea full GP/family practice care centre. In fact, many patients are probably there for general practice health concerns now anyway. However, the practice has continued its excellent reputation in obstetrics and child health care, as if evidenced by the number of pregnant ladies and kids running around! Nearly all (I think bar one) of the doctors are trained overseas, UK, US, Oz, and are excellent healthcare practitioners. I wouldn't go if they were not! They cater heavily to the ex-pat crowd, with the entire practice operating in English. Whilst the practice is a general care centre, they do continue to specialise in obs and gyny, and paediatrics. They also extensively cover psychiatry, psychology and counselling concerns. Unlike many of the practices in HK, Central Health unofficially runs an out of hours service. Of course if you need emergency care, you should ring 999, but if you need "emergency" care from your GP, existing patients can get it from Central Health, depending on the goodwill of the doctor. Appointments are usually quite easy to get at the Central clinic. There are also two other practices in Disco Bay and Southside. As with most HK health care, you will have to pay or produce your medical insurance.

I'm a dutchess of a hospital. Whaaaat?? Ok I guess I'll write a review…read more I've been here many times and for different reasons. Good or bad. I'd say it's overall a great hospital. You can tell that they're a very structured organization and everyone working here are well trained. Doctors and nurses are professional and polite. The nurses I have dealt with are so nice I actually wrote them a card to say thank you. The hospital took the past few years to revamp the entire place and I could see them upgrading section by section, and I like this place more and more. I'd like to make a special mention of the food there - the canteen has really good food, with a nice casual setting overlooking the race course. Clay pot rice is really famous but there's a wait for it. Not that I want to come here all the time, but if anyone reading this is concerned about the quality of doc or the place, there's nothing for you to worry about. If you have a good medical insurance, just go for it!

After a short overseas trip, I was feeling very unwell so I visited this walk-in clinic to see what was up. I saw Dr. Patrick Lee and after asking about my symptoms, listening to my respiratory system, and literally jumping back after seeing my red and inflamed throat, he confirmed that I have come down with the dreaded flu. 5 prescriptions later, I am now in bed, resting up and praying for a speedy recovery. I'm happy with the quick and efficient service that I got here, and wouldn't hesitate to come back again.

Living in a crowded city like HK, it is inevitable that you will fall ill at some point, either…read morefrom some reprobate coughing right in your face, or over doing int in LKF. Well, help is at hand. UMP Healthcare Group is a large medical services group in HK. Part of their group offers outpatient medical services, or to the lay person, a local GP doctors service. There are a lot of these local surgeries across Hong Kong, so you should be able to find a location convenient to you. The medical centre at Wan Chai is particularly good, primarily due to the excellent service from Dr. Yiu. Whilst this is quite a "local" feeling practice, Dr. Yiu's and his staff's English is perfect, so don't feel intimidated to come here as an ex-pat. I always find it very easy to get an appointment here within a couple of hours of calling, and once at the surgery, the wait to see the doctor is usually short. The consultations are thorough, so you can be confident that you are getting the best care. The services they offer include; general and specialist consultation, health checks, some minor outpatient procedures, inoculations, and travel health advice.On site, they also have x-ray facilities, and a dispensing pharmacy, so you don't have to go elsewhere for your prescriptions. Should you require any other specialist care, Dr Yiu will refer you as required. UMP accepts a number of medical insurance schemes, both personal and employer, so it is possible to visit and have the costs paid directly by your insurer.

I should fair in saying this but I have never really had faith in chain medical service providers…read more They give me the feeling that they don't really care about their patients and they are just trying to bolster their coffers in asking you to go through absolutely unnecessary tests and so on. The fact that you seem to find them everywhere also gives me a sense that its medicine on the cheap. So you might be wondering why I actually bothered to go in the first place. That's because for one of my jobs I actually had to go to their centres for a pre-joining medical check. Needless to say their centre was big and clean, felt more like a showroom rather than a medical centre if I'm honest. I was led in to conduct the tests and they were extremely careful about what they did the whole way, despite the fact that they must all have to go through plenty of these humdrum tests all day long. The tests were completed very quickly and I noted that they had a dental practice at the same location. I thought to myself that since I'm here I might as well get that done as well; they actually had a place for me immediately and by the next hour I had it cleansed and looked at. All this brought to me the reality of the situation: we may all want a family GP who talks to us for half an hour and attends family weddings. The thing is though, nowadays we want good, cheap and quick medical service and UMP is right up there.

My husband got sick while we were visiting HK from the US. Our hotel called an on-call doctor for…read moreus from UMP, Dr. Garry Kung. He was in our hotel room in 1.5 hours and saw my husband there, without us having to get in a taxi, travel to the medical center, register, and wait to see a dr there. This was SO much better for my husband, who had a fever and did not want to get out of bed. Dr. Kung was efficient yet thorough, and gave my husband some antibiotics as well as fever-reducing and anti-nausea medication. He also left his card for us to call him directly if my husband got worse. It wasn't cheap but it was so worth it to have a house call in our hotel room. We were very pleased with Dr. Kung and the house-call service offered.

I just had my first baby in HK. Being an American, I had no idea how the hospital system worked in…read moreHK. Knowing that HK is modelled from the UK system, I googled midwives in HK and Annerley came up. Annerley really helped me to understand the system and made me feel confident in myself to have this baby in HK. It is not a cheap service but well worth it. Check your insurance if they will cover the cost. There are about 4 midwives that you will be familiar with as you will eventually meet all of them. They are all experienced and have worked in hospitals in Canada, UK, and Iceland. Since I chose to give birth at Queen Mary Hospital, I chose the "Best of Both" package. This package is catered to women who will give birth in the public hospital. (Private hospital has a different package). This included several education classes that cover pregnancy, the hospital system, hypnobirthing class, 3D/4D scan, midwife clinic appointments, breastfeeding and home visits after birth. There's a couple more things but this is the main things. Because the public hospital appointments are so quick and routine, Annerley was able to clarify what was going on and put my mind at ease. The Hypnobirthing class was helpful. My only wish is that the class could have been more active in the sense that we could have practiced more in the class instead of the instructor just spitting back what was in the book. Otherwise, it was still very helpful in many other ways. I also opted for the Labour at home care. This is when the midwife would come to your home and labour with you. If anything, do this! The labour ward at QMH is what you want to avoid!
