I too am looking for recommendations for a pediatrician in the central area. especially one who is tolerant of first time mum silly questions and concerns 
and how often should I take my baby to them for checkups? Or is a GP good enough for routine checks and immunizations?

Here's the Geobaby list of Drs
Pediatricians - Hong Kong GeoBaby
Dr Thondup is very good with first time Mums.
We signed up for the Well Baby Clinic at the Canossa Hospital. http://www.canossahospital.org.hk/services/chc_e.htm There was a Dr there (Dr Dannie Ting) and she did a quick consult before the shot. The nurses did the routine checks. If there was anything else, we would go to her clinic in Central.

Dr. Richard Chiu is fantastic. He is on queens rd - central. He is excellent with my baby and he seems to really enjoy kids and his job. He even takes calls between 6am - 7am (he forwards the office line to his home line so you can call if u have questions).
One time, because my baby had dry red patches on her face and being a first time mom, I called to schedule an appt with the receptionist. It turned out to be baby acne and he did NOT charge me for the visit because he said he could of told me that over the phone. And because I was there, he gave her a quick check up. He gave us a prescription and the baby acne was gone two days later.
I have seen other doctors here in HK and even if its a two second visit, they will charge me the entire consultation fee.
