joshsmum, i sent you a pm. thanks!
Hi Swedishmum,
I delivered in Matilda in last Aug and my gyn was also Dr Patrick Chan. He's the resident doctor in Matilda too and can easily get you a room (I also booked very late and he confirmed it right away when I first met him in his clinic). To me, he's very competent and a gentlemen who made me feel relaxed and comfortable during regular check up and the delivery. My husband also likes his philosophy too.
I understand there are lots of things to consider when choosing a "right" gyn. I would say I was very lucky to have Dr. Chan taking care of me during my pregnancy. If you would like to know more details about him and his contact, you may PM me. Glad to share my experience with you.

Syl, you might want to clarify it with the Matilda, as this $20K deposit up front is a new policy effective today so things might be different.
But when I delivered at the Matilda last April, they used to require a $20K deposit when you were admitted to the hospital (or a charge of that amt on a credit card). We however got our insurance company to provide a letter of guarantee to the Matilda outlining how much they would cover for the birth and this was sufficient in lieu of the deposit.

Hi Swedishmum,
I am 14 weeks pregnant and seeing Dr Alex Doo and got a confirmed booking at the Matilda when I was 9 weeks. He's a resident at the hospital also. I've been told I don't have to pay any deposit.
If you want a Doctor who is friendly with a good bedside manner, then I definitely recommend Dr Doo.
Good luck with everything.

I am also pregnant due in July 09, Matilda is booked out until Aug 09, as far as I know you need to wait until either a miscarriage or someone cancels. My Dr also delivers at The Adventist hospital which I was able to get a place, I think the hospital is the major issue if you are looking for a gyno.

I went in for my follow up on the 4th and I was still waitlisted for Matilda, but apparently a little pressure is all that's needed to confirm a bed.
With the same confidence demonstrated last September, Dr. Lord reassured me that getting a bed would be ok. It only took her 3 days to prove it.
