Preparing to go to the United States to give birth to a child DIY, Los Angeles area hospitals and doctors how to choose

How to choose a doctor hospital to give birth to a child in the United States, first of all, we need to understand the relationship between doctors and hospitals in the United States. The hospital in the United States is open type, only charge hospitalization fee and medicine fee, itself does not invite doctors. Doctors become cooperating doctors of the hospital through application and after review. These collaborating doctors receive pregnant women in their own clinics and only send them to the collaborating hospitals when it is time to give birth. So the doctor and the hospital are not in an employment relationship, but a collaborative one.

The vast majority of doctors in the United States, especially the best ones, have their own private practices, and most of the doctors in U.S. hospitals are freshly graduated interns who work part-time in hospitals. So the "good hospitals" in the U.S. refer to hospitals with good hardware such as instruments and equipment, not to the "big names" of the doctors in these hospitals. In the U.S., it's all about "finding a doctor" rather than "finding a hospital", which is completely different from China. When choosing a doctor, we have to choose according to our own situation, relatively speaking, big-name doctors are not cheap, and the cooperative hospital is usually a large general hospital, the charges will be more expensive. If you are a senior pregnant woman or have pregnancy complications it is recommended to look for more experienced doctors and large general hospitals; if you are in a particularly good condition, you can consider looking for cost-effective doctors on the good.

Any U.S. doctor needs to be licensed, and it is well known that U.S. doctor's licenses are very difficult to obtain, so they are certainly more reliable than domestic medical care. The hospitals that each doctor works with range from one to three, so after choosing a doctor, the choice of hospitals is narrowed down to the hospitals that the doctor works with, and the choice of hospitals can be made entirely on the advice of the doctor, who will advise you from her professional point of view as to which hospital is best suited to your physical condition, and maximize the safety of both you and the baby.
