Today me and my husband went to Dr Wong Kar Mau for a 4d ultrasound. We made the appointment on morning and were seen at 5pm same day. He is in Jordan and we went there for our ultrasound. We arrived at 4:55pm and were registered and seen straight away. After basic questions the doctor began the ultrasound and allowed me and my husband to look at various parts of the baby as long as we wanted and explained everything in cantonese to me and english to my husband. Unfortuantely our baby was in a bad position hiding its head so he told us to work and eat something then return. When we returned we were seen after 5 minutes and he was able to tell us we were having a girl and get a clear look at our babies face. After another 20 minutes we left and the charge was $600 and we got 10 photos of our baby and nearly 1 hour looking at the ultrasound. His phone number is 27716556 Dr Wong Kar Mau. The service was brilliant and the doctor was a very nice and helpful guy and i would recommend him to anyone.
 
Sounds like a awesome doctor nataliekaye, will keep him in mind for the next scan. Nice to not be rushed out the door. Does he give you a DVD copy of the sessions too?

Does anyone know a doctor that gives you a DVD of the session as well as photos? Really keen to get one at my 20 week scan which is not too far away so need to book soon.
 
Dr.Christine Choi does that. She does 4d scan everytime we go to see her and gave us the dvd everytime too. Her clinis is called Care for women, opporsite Landmark hotel...New World Tower i think.
 
So he specifically specializes in ultrasounds? (not just a ob-gyn who has an ultrasound in his office). The doctor we went to at Union hospital says they recommend a fetal anomaly scan at 21 weeks or so, done by a specialist. However Union's specialist is all booked up in the two week period from now (which would be 21 weeks for the baby) so we need to go elsewhere for the fetal anomaly scan. Is the 4D the anomaly scan do you know or is it just a prettier ultrasound?

Thanks.
 
Went to Dr Wong Kar Mau yesterday, and would highly recommend him. Although extremely busy we both felt that he was thorough, informative and a great manner.

He even kindly congratulated hubby on being a dad - nice touch.

I am not sure if he is a "specialist" for ultrasounds however he took more care and attention of the "baby - 8 1/2 weeks" and checking for any other issues that by memory such things were never checked with our first child in NZ.

Cost $800 incl consult, scan, photos, folic acid, and mild sleeping tablets. This was less than I was expecting.

I certainly am very happy to return.
 
I went to Dr Wong today and I have to say, my husband and I were very impressed. He was so friendly, happy and relaxed and took a lot of time to show us our baby. We went for a 3D scan and our baby had her hands covering her face. He sent us out for "a coffee and some shopping for baby" and told me to walk up and down some steps if possible.
When we came back he saw us straight away, and we got a great view - even better than the photos he had in the waiting room!

What I really liked is that he included my husband in the general conversation so much more than other doctors we have seen, and although he was obviously busy he didn't rush us. He took time for a chat and a laugh.

We are going through the public system for the delivery, but if I could go private, this is the sort of doctor I would like helping me.

I would highly reccommend Dr Wong based on my experience today.
 
Just wondering if Dr Wong only does the ultrasounds? or is he an ob gyn one can go to for the delivery as well? anyone had their baby delivered by Dr Wong?

I just found out i'm pregnant with my first baby - new to Hong Kong and staying in Kowloon - near the ICC. Would be great if someone could recommend a good OB Gyn in Kowloon...
 
Yes, Dr Wong is an ob/gyn. He seemed lovely, very experienced and was very reassuring. Based on my one experience with him, I would feel very comfortable choosing him as my ob/gyn if I had the chance.

Good luck.
 
Hi Rachrobin,
Thanks so much for the reply. Just wondering which hospital you are delivering at? I've seen in a previous thread that you are in Kowloon too - i am thinking of going to a private ob gyn but deliver in a public hospital (our insurance will def not cover us for the hkd100000+ !) - which one would you recommend - prince of wales, mt elizabeth, st teresa..?

Sorry for throwing so many questions at you! Don't know too many people here yet and feeling quite overwhlemed with all these decisions!
 
Hi Kay2008,
I'm also new to the HK health-care system, newly pregnant and living in Kowloon. I too do not have maternity coverage so my husband and I decided to register with the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and supplement care privately. I recently had a visit with Dr. Yau Hon Wai in Mong Kok, which I DO NOT recommend. Instead I'll try Dr. Wong Kar Mau that everybody is raving about.

hi

I saw Dr Shell Wong in TST for a 4D ultra sound when I 1st came back from Canada early this month.

He gives you a DVD of all scan, 14 photos and a detailed report. If you like you can message me back and I would be glad to give you his contact number.
 
I remember being told it was ideal to do between 28-32 weeks. I did mine at 34 weeks and it was great - but really depends on the position the baby is in and how free it is to move.

A lot of my friends who went to private doctors had a 4D scan at every check up.
 
My doctor (I think his name's Dr Lam, at the Hong Kong Prenatal Diagnostic Clinic, or whatever it's called) said 30 weeks was the best time for the scan. I booked for 31 weeks but then he had to deliver a baby!! So I'm going on Saturday when I'll be getting closer to 32 weeks. I'm hoping it's not too tight in there to see the baby well!!
 
Hi

I was told by my ob that the 4D scan to be done by 20 weeks so that they would be able to check if the baby is normal and make sure there is no abnornality.

In case if there is anything wrong they would have more time and option to disucss it with the parents. Sorry I was so blunt and straight forward
 
I think most abnormalities, they can screen for fine on the 2D ultrasound at 20 weeks - I actually had TWO of them done, and it's a lot of measuring the internal stuff - bone sizes, kidneys, the chambers of the heart. I think that for that, they MUST use 2D because they're looking at cross sections. I don't think that 4D does cross sections, only external features...

I actually had my 4D done today (at 31 weeks) and it's all surfaces that they can see. EVERYTHING else, they still used 2D for all the internal stuff...

Here's my baby:
