Help with new born baby (pediatrician, lactation specialists, etc.)
hi everyone,
i'm looking for some recommendations for a pediatrician. i heard that the dept at al ahli hospital is good but can anyone recommend a particular doctor (at any hospital)?
also, does anyone know about lactation specialists, or new mother groups, or any other support group type things?
any other tips from new moms and dads would be great.
thanks for your help.
We had our baby at Doha Clinic Hospital.
Our Pediatrician is Dr. Khaled Shaboon at the Doha Clinic Hospital. We like him very much, and would not hesitate to recommend him...the only thing I can say is his english is not perfect, so he often sounds like a direct quote from a medical texbook, but he takes time to explain everything, so its all good.
Best of luck to you guys!
Stay safe all.
Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?
Yes - both pediatricians. We primarily use Dr. Atiya. Don't know a lot about her but she has kids and speaks great English.
thanks.
these are both doctors in the pediatrics area?
do you use one? any more info on dr atiya?
thanks again.

Al Ahli Hospital - Dr. Atiya (female) is great and so is Dr. Mahmoon (male). Check over on expatwoman.com. I know several woman are expecting or have just given birth.
I copied the below paragraph from mums the word newsletter. Hopefully this help.
When is the little one arriving? The joy of being a first time daddy eh? :D
