Drs. Cora Ngai or Grace Cheung????

I'm seeing Cora Ngai and find her great. Like anyone I think she has her bad days but her competence level is very high as far as I'm concerned. She is very blunt in her approach but I would rather that than wishy washy, especially when it comes to having a baby! She knows what she is talking about and I have come to really like her as I get closer to the due date.
 
I had Dr. Grace Cheung as my ob. I went into the Matilda in the evening and finally delivered at about 5am. What I was really impressed by was that, although she was not there by my bedside all throughout, she kept calling in to the midwife to check on things and she was right there at the final stages- unlike some others who leave things to the midwife. She's very matter of fact but her confident manner makes you feel confident too. Admittedly, I didn't have complications, but I'd go back to her again without question.
 
I agree, Grace Cheung is excellent (delivered our baby last week at Matilda). She is matter of fact but explains anything you want, has a lot of patience, and tons of empathy as well - plus a GREAT sense of humour. I would highly recommend her -- she really does care.
 
Dr Grace Cheung or Dr Patrick Chan

I am considering Dr Grace Cheung or Dr Patrick Chan - does anyone have any experience to share? Has anyone seen both and can give an opinion on which one is better? Do you know if they are pro-natural or pro c-section? Any advice is much appreciated.
 
Have not seen Dr. Chan so I can't comment. I wanted a natural birth anyway, and I got the feeling Dr. Grace prefers natural births unless there's a medical reason to go for a c section. She does not give you the feeling of trying to push you one way or the other really. I just felt pretty relaxed with her and felt my wishes were taken into consideration.
 
Thanks plumtree, you seem to have very good things to say about Dr Grace Cheung, it's very reassuring! Are there any other Ob/Gyn that you would recommend?
 
Grace Cheung delivered my baby. I don't know if she was too busy or what, she showed up for very short period of time on my delivery day. Most of the time, it was a midwife in Matilda who took care of me. I had some difficulty in delivering the baby by myself and she used vacuum to suck the baby out. Actually, there are some complications with the baby resulted from the delivery and I wish I had a c-section. On top of that, I just heard from the cord blood bank today that the baby's cord blood was contaminated during the delivery. I don't think I will use her the next time I have a baby.
 
I am seeing Dr. Grance Cheung. My husband and I love her. Like it was mentioned before - it is such a personal choice and you have to click with the Dr. We are not delivering at Matilda and she was cool with that. She does give you the facts which is great. And her sense of humor is great. Best of luck to you!
