Changing OB?GYN need advise please...

[Josie]

Kylie,

I am planning to approach Dr. Christine Choy as my obygn and am thining of delivering at Matilda. I am surprised to read that Dr. Christine Choy is not prepared to deliver at Matilda (as I heard that she has close connections with Matilda Hospital and I remember seeing Matilda on the list of hospitals she delivers baby in?). Is this an on off case (did she offer any explanations) or she really no longers delivers there?

Cheers

I can also HIGHLY recommend Dr. Phillip Ho!!!! ... and Kelly is an angel He also works with an amazing team at the Matilda and you can tell they all think the world of him. If you have not already ... make sure you're booked in to the hospital!!!!!!!

Hi Josie,
Yes she def does not deliver at Matilda anymore. I even asked her again yesterday on the phone just to double check as I would of loved to stay with her as she seems fantastic. Her reasons being that she has had some patients that she could not deliver there due to shortage of beds so I think she got sick of it and pulled out. Best to call her and double check with her in case things change.

Kylie, thanks for the info. Best of luck with your pregnancy, no matter which obgyn you decide to stick with in the end

I can recommend Dr Ghosh, he delivered my third and has also delivered many of my friends. I find him a great Dr.

Like Noella, I can highly recommend Dr Ghosh. He lives at Matilda and always returns your call within 10 mins. I have had one emergency c-section and three miscarriages under him and he has always been there for me whatever time of day or night.

There is a shortage of beds everywhere so i find that a strange reason for dr choy not to deliver at the matilda. i think there might be more to it than that but also beleive that your doc is more important than your hospital but i can highly recommend Dr Ghosh.

My pregnancy was 'High Risk' and Dr Ghosh was recommended to by other HK Doctors. He was brilliant. I had 2 bleeds with my pregnancy, I paged Dr Ghosh on both occassions as they were out of office hours and he rang both times within 5 mins. I cannot recommend him enough. He was always a gentleman, always there for me and always reasuring throught my pregnancy. I took on board all of his advice and gave birth to a healthy baby boy at the end of it. GOOD LUCK!

My husband and I are not fans of Dr. Ghosh. Our first birth was an induction and we want to labor normally for our second child. Dr. Ghosh said there was no guarantee I would go into labor bc I had previously had an induction and my body didn't know "how to labor". I soon found out from other moms that

1) Dr. Ghosh is known for **his** preference for c-sections
2) Dr. Ghosh likes to schedule his deliveries back to back (hence a seemingly quick getaway to "give you privacy"), same with c-sections.
3) Dr. Ghosh makes patients wait for hours to see him.
4) Dr. Ghosh is condescending and an alarmist.
5) Dr. Ghosh sees labor and delivery as a nine-to-five job, just like his teaching. He wants You and your baby to fit into his schedule.
6) Dr. Ghosh recommends tests which are not necessary, often duplicating tests, costing more money for the patient. As he said " the tests are to protect himself in court".

Why worry about court if you are doing an excellent job?

These are just the facts.

californiamum-

sorry you don't like the guy, but i think it's awful how you've chosen to find older threads about ob recommendations to slam dr. ghosh.

he just delivered my breech baby via c-section, BUT was willing to deliver him vaginally up until the week before (the only one i know of who does in HK!). i was obsessed with having a drug-free birth and he encouraged me to try different positions to turn him, acupuncture, etc. unfortunately, my baby was in footling position with his right arm reaching over his back, even my midwife at annerley said a vaginal delivery was out of the question without serious risks.

i have friends that have used him for drug-free births with no problem. if you make your preferences clear at the start, which i did, your experience may have been different.

just saying. not everyone feels the way you do.
