Gynecologist in Bandung?

[Vicissidude]

Asking for a friend. Of course she's looking for a knowledgeable doctor. But her main concern is a doctor who won't make her feel judged or uncomfortable regarding things like sex before marriage. Any recommendations?

I imagine Bad_azz will be able to point you/your friend in the right direction. If not, perhaps a "shopping trip" to Singapore is overdue.

Those were my exact thoughts lol. I figured a thread would be beneficial for others though. All I could find was an old thread in LIIF, but mostly good gynos for married people, and we all know how unprofessional the docs here can be with sensitive subjects.

I can't say for certain but probably in Advent hospital - Jl Cihampelas. They seem very professional there.

I know nothing about gynecos in Bandung, but Adventists, and doctors who are practicing in an Adventist hospital are most likely Adventists, are not known to be tolerant and comprehensive with sex before marriage. Adventists have a very strict lecture of the Bible. Basically, for them, outside of the marriage relationship, sexual intercourse is sin. And in my experience (Adventism is very popular around my bush), they are keen to let you know about it.

However, I totally subscribe to your assessment concerning professionalism. Advent hospital often have good practitioners.

I wonder if the OP's friend could state that she was married & state that the documents are still being processed- just to give that thin veneer of (cough) respectability to the hospital should anyone ask. I figure only admin get into the status. Docs only read the notes.
Depends on how much is needed by the hospital should they have to issue documents etc- if the OP's friend is just wanting check ups and advice but doesn''t plan to give birth here then I doubt it would matter too much.
Just need a willing male to be "husband"

If the friend is in a LTR with the father of the baby I don't think there will be too much hassle, Bandung (certainly, the people I know & have dealt with- Christian or Moslem) seems pretty relaxed about such things if there is some sort of committment & intention of marriage.

I've been to the Bandung Advent hospital, and never had any sort of religious overtones at all. Even the Catholic hospital never asked for any marriage cert or stuff when we went there for a bit.

What baby? I don't pray often, but dear god please don't let there be a baby! Lol...

Same. But I've never gone there for anything related to sexual health, just for the usual "I feel shitty, please make it stop" kind of stuff. Anyway, I agree it's a good place to start, though it still feels like a gamble for the reasons that Atlantis describes (though the same applies pretty much anywhere in Indonesia, IMHO).

There is the sexual health family planning place down by the Kan Im just a few doors further along- not sure what they are like though- and soz... re baby comment- my bad.
