Well, on recommendation of current church friend, I went to this famous Marine Parade Ban Choon Chan after my blighted ovum in August last year. I noticed that some couples from far away such as India, Korea and some other overseas countries consult him too. It is just that his queue is too terrible. He is off on Mon and Tue. For Wed to Fri, you have to be outside his medical hall latest by 7:15 a.m. (not later than 7:30 a.m.) if you want to be the first few in the queue. For Sat, you have to be outside queuing at 6:30 a.m., and for Sundays, at 6:00 a.m. I went to "tiao" by him from September last year to April this year (skipped Bd in Chinese New Year as my husband went back home for the festive season), then due to my high maternal age (just turned 39 in early May), was suffering from complications such as subchrionic bleeding during early pregnancy (week 6 and 1 day), and requested Dr Chan to an tai for me, which he blatantly refused twice; and told me that no need. Eventually, around 2 weeks after the bleeding, I miscarried.
I particularly do not like that when I called Dr Chan as soon as his medical hall opens in the morning, that I need him to an tai for me as embryo still got heartbeat though not growing much, he was very rude to me over the phone, and told me that "embryo grows or not decided by my gynae. and not him". I think he expects that the day that I tested positive on HPT and went to consult him, that the 1 pack of an tai herbs prescribed by him will last till the end of the first trimester, till week 13; and if I do not make it, then it is my problem, and not his.
So be warned that even if he successfully helps you conceive, if you suffer from complications, he is very likely to just push away all responsibilities.
I have also heard from another friend that if still want to see Dr Chan, must see quickly, as there is news that he is retiring soon, due to his old age and failing health.
Subsequently, on recommendation of my previous personal trainer, I went to consult another tcm in North Bridge Road, and is now under his care, to strengthen my uterus, to prepare for my next pregnancy, as I have suffered from multiple miscarriages in the last 3.5 years. If you do want details of my current tcm, please PM (private message) me, as I do not check this forum on a daily basis.
