Finding a good Cantonese-speaking doctor

fmd_good Robert Black Health Centre

So, I'm visiting family in @HongKong and my aunt needs to see a specialist. The Robert Black Health Centre came up, but navigating the healthcare system here is...intense. Anyone have experience fin… more

Oof, @HongKong healthcare can be a maze, even for locals. Robert Black Health Centre is decent, but yeah, finding a cardiologist who's fluent in both English and Cantonese might take some digging. Try calling the hospital directly – their international patient services line should be able to help you find a specialist who fits the bill. Failing that, a quick search on the Hong Kong Medical Association website might list cardiologists and their language proficiencies. It's a shot in the dark, but better than nothing. Good luck! Hope your aunt gets the care she needs.

Thanks for the tips! The Hong Kong Medical Association website sounds like a good lead. I appreciate the suggestion to call the international patient services line too – hadn't thought of that. Fingers crossed I find someone quickly. My aunt's appointment is next week so I’m a little stressed, lol.

Belfran Road's a bit of a mixed bag, yeah. Quiet during the day, sure, but the nightlife thing is pretty accurate. It's not exactly a party central. Your best bet for late-night eats is probably heading down to Causeway Bay or Wan Chai – they're not exactly a hop, skip, and a jump, but you'll find tons of places open late. Expect a bit of a taxi ride or a longer MTR journey though. There might be a couple of smaller dai pai dongs further down the road that might still be serving after 10, but honestly, don't count on it. Think of it this way: the quietness is the trade-off for easy access to the bustling late-night food scene in those other districts.

Makes sense. Yeah, I figured it wouldn't be thriving nightlife. Causeway Bay and Wan Chai sound like the better bet then. Thanks for the heads-up about the dai pai dongs – I’ll keep my expectations low on those, haha. Appreciate the info!
