Pregnancy Updates 06: Shopping for a new ObGyn, pt 1.
24 Aug 2009Yes, we are in the process. And I hope that God will soon lead us to THE one that He had really planned for us. Because the one we’re seeing now doesn’t seemed to be 
We’ve only seen Dr Jean Woo from Gleneagles twice. She always rushes us off each visit before I get to voice my concerns. She doesn’t explain my conditions after worrying us even when I asked twice. Am I supposed to google it myself because she needs to attend to her many patients?
During my last visit with her on Monday, she forgot — or maybe she thought she did but didn’t — to save my ultrasound scan images into my pendrive. So we’re missing week 11′s record. When I called the clinic, the nurse asked me to get it during my next visit, which is next month. But would it really still be in the machine after a month?
Sigh.
I’ve made 2 appointments next week to see 2 different Obstetrician & Gynecologist — both are also from Gleneagles. Dr Tan Lay Seng was highly recommended by his patients through Mead Johnson’s forum, and another lady doctor called Dr Teresa Chow.
My hope was to at least get a choice between a female and a male doctor. I was devastated to find out that Dr Chow doesn’t accept expecting mothers after 12 weeks into their pregnancy. Her nurse then recommended Dr Jimmy Tang to me.
So my initial plan of potentially having a female doctor is now bumped.

Hopefully he doesn’t train rail us next Friday and leave us more lost than Dr Jean Woo.

Hope you’ve managed to find a good doctor. He/she should not rush you through your appointments and most importantly – he/she should respect your birth plan!

Does he speaks very fast? Haven’t notice, but after you know him, you’ll notice that he likes to tease you sarcastically
So have you decided to continue with Dr Tan?

Hi Mum to be
Dr Tan doesn’t have a pendrive slot (Only Dr Jean Woo has) to save the ultrasound but he has DVD recording for the scans. You can save everytime you go for your check ups and initialised it once you think is enough. He charge RM5 per recording, or RM5 for printouts.
You will like Dr Tan. His mischievous sarcasm is what makes him charming. To me at least
If not mistaken, Dr Tan’s fee is more reasonable. Dr Tan and Dr Woo charges are about the same.
If you’ve met Dr Jimmy already, you will definitely like Dr Tan more once you meet him. Even his clinic looks more appealing in comparison keke. And the crowd is 3x more too
