My edd is first week of May and they asked me which doctor I wanted to see. I'm new to HK, does anyone have any recommendations? What about Dr Leong? Thanks!
 
Women's clinic in central is very good. There are 3 docs there, Dr Leung, Dr Doo and Dr Mok who is female. My doctor is Dr Doo but I have seen all 3 as they do cover for each other on holidays and such. Dr Leung is more expensive than Dr Doo and Dr Mok. All of them are very good and very nice. You will find with Dr Doo and Dr Leung that you may always be waiting 30mins plus after your appt time as they dont always run on time. Dr Mok is slightly less busy I think so more prompt. Personally I don't have an issue with the waiting (I have had to be squeezed in at short notice myself). The nurses are very good, it's very professional so you will be in very good hands whichever doctor you go with. I can't recommend them highly enough having had IVF there and since then have suffered a haematoma in the uterus, and have been very well taken care of.
 
Thanks so much for the info! I really appreciate it. I'm going in tomorrow to have my Hcg and progesterone levels checked again. Fingers crossed!
 
My experience has not been great, however, I've had a difficult pregnancy. From what I've heard they are great as long as everything in the pregnancy goes great. Otherwise, in my experience, bed side manner and compassion are both lacking.
 
I have to disagree with SLP mom - i had an extremely difficult pregnancy with frequent bleeding due to hematoma and early contractions and they were great. I could call dr Doo on his private number and once he even came to the hospital. At 3 am to see me - it was afalse alarm but he was totally cool about it. I also ear many good things about dr Mok. Dr Leung I think is more fertility orientated. The only down side is the waiting times as they get busy but then again I think it is true for most clinics here. I went around i by scheduling some of my apptments with dr Doo in Matilda hospital- virtualy no queue but slighly higher charges.
 
Dr. Mok is a very good OB, highly competent and well trained. Had a somewhat difficult pregnancy and complications during and after delivery and she managed everything well. She is a bit clinical, which was fine with me as a prefer a highly competent doc and didnt need someone to hold my hand. She was always available to answer questions, however, and took the time to provide real answers. Appointments were also generally prompt, and once the nursing staff knew that it was hard for me to wait around for an appointment, they would call me if she was running behind or at hospital with another patient and have me come to the appointment later in the day or reschedule.
 
I am also seeing Dr. Mok, she is nice and calm. But I have a very low risk pregnancy so I cannot comment how she is in dealing with complications... Sometimes have to wait for 30 mins or so to see her... but it's worth it. And she encourage natural birth too :)
 
I also recommend Dr.Mok. I am due this weekend and have received excellent care from her throughout my low risk pregnancy. She isn't cuddly, by any means, but she is kind and informative, without being prescriptive.
 
not sure they are equipped to deal with high risk pregnancy (beyond twins)

or maybe just my high risk case. i went for an initial consultation with dr doo and he told me that he/matilda were not equipped to help me and referred me to queen mary's high risk wing. i actually appreciated his honesty and respect his assessment.
 
Just to follow up on my statement that they were not great with complicated pregnancy, I think that it might be that they are too busy right now to deal with complicated pregnancy.

My doctor at WC was the first to discover a major complication in my baby (which turned out to be nothing after 20 weeks of testing) and within 30 seconds of giving me the horrible news (and suggesting I consider terminating) left me in the examining room and did not return. Even though my pregnancy has been complicated he/she (don't want to name the doctor) never remembers who I am and I have had to remind him/her at each appointment about my early complications. At 31 weeks I ended up switching to another doctor because I was so tired of dealing with that.

I do believe that they are very medically skilled and I think for the right pregnancy, and perhaps during a less busy year, they are great doctors.

Just my experience!
