Anyone know these 3 gynaes? Dr Poon King Fu, Prof Tan Heng Hao and Dr Lim Ah Leng??

Dear MTBs, I know it's a real frustrations and excitement to find good gynaes in Singapore and there're just plenty of them which are the good ones.

But I am looking for a patient and gentle gynae ASAP who I can fully rely on for good service from initial consultation to final delivery stage. Because I am extremely scared of pain so I need to find a reliable, patient, gentle and assured gynae.

My friends introduced me these 3 gynaes:
1) Prof Tan Heng Hao from KKH (Place of Delivery: KKH)
2) Dr Poon King Fu from Poon's Clinic (Place of Delivery: TMC, Mt A, MT E Novena, Parkway East)
3) Dr Lim Ah Leng from AL Lim Clinic (Place of Delivery: TMC)


Q1) Have anyone or your friends heard of them or engaged their services previously?

Q2) Are they good, skillful and how are their charges like?

Q3) Can anyone pls share some experiences? Thank you so much.

Hi!
Dr lim was my sister's gynae and he's a very experience old gynae. But his waiting time is really really long. No appointment time given only date. My sis used to go at 9am and get to see him at 12. But he is very patient in explaining stuff to you.

Dr HH tan is good too though i think he specialise in fetility issues. His saturdays slots are always full. I've been seeing him for fertility. Not too sure if he takes on normal gynae consultations.
 
Sorry i wasnt clear. My understanding is that he specialise in fertility consultation. But since you have confirm with the nurses that he does pivate gynae consultation then thats fine. :)
 
Hi thanks for your reply!! Can I also check if you know or heard from your friend if Dr Poon is good in delivery babies using C-sect and Natural Birth???

FYI I just met him today. He didn't prescribe prenatal multi vitamins but instead he gave me an injection (specially for protection of baby one).

My spouse & I actually found him quite nice and gentle but when we asked him for 2 more questions he seemed impatient and nicely said he has other patients to attend to. Abit concern if he will be angry if I need to ask him some more questions in future. Lolz!

My friend went through 1 natural birth and 2 c sect with him. He is ok doctor and he won't get angry at all. Just that maybe he feels that some question is too early to ask now and he doesn't wants to frighten u or your spouse ...

Hi!
Fertility issues means? Can elaborate further? And where his clinic?

Dr HH Tan (Tan Heng Hao) is the overall Dept Head of the Fertility Division in KKH and he is very famous because we heard the success rate of IVFs done by him are very high. You can check it out on KKH website personally.

Hi Prayingformiracle, thanks for your reply really. So Dr Poon actually can do both C-sect and Natural births. Because I always assume or think not all gynaes are capable of performing both types of delivery.

Yah my next trip with Dr Poon will be 2 weeks later. I just hope my little embryo will grow bigger, the heartbeats must be faster than now (Dr Poon said its very weird coz the heartbeats a bit slow than normal embryos) and of course to know if the embryo is healthy. Can you imagine my heart sunk & almost tears when doc cannot find the heartbeat or blood flow during the ultrasound scan ??? I was extremely worried and only got to slight ease when he finally found very faint heartbeats detected using a special function as the embryo was too tiny. Let's pray for the better!

Don't worry. That could be the reason why Dr Poon don't want to answer any question for now . Until he was sure ... He is good gynae and always a lot of patient as what my friend told me. My friend told me that his skill is good as well. If I'm staying nearby there I would have go to see him as well.

I want to thank you so much for your prompt and useful reply. You're a big help to me in a way. Really appreciate that.

Yesterday Dr Poon gave me that injection jab (安胎药) hopefully it helps in someway to protect the embryo safely and make it grow healthily to week 8 & above to pass the trimester 1. But I am curious how come he didn't prescribe any Prenatal Multi-Vitamins for me this time ??? Do you think we can buy those Prenatal Vitamins off the counter on our own for safe consumption?? Pls kindly advise. Thanks!

Hi lsw12, thanks for your reply too. Yah I am now contemplating if I should visit Dr HH Tan for a 2nd opinion regarding my scan.

For now u can only consume folic acid ... Until second trimester ... Folic acid for first trimester is good enough.

Oh isit? So Folic Acid is actually sufficient for Trimester 1 ??? Now that I know. I still told my hubby if I should personally go buy those off the shelves brands for Prenatal Vitamins for own consumption.

So from Trimester 2 onwards, then take Prenatal Vitamins ????

Yup. I only took folic acid (generic type) during 1st trimester for my previous and current pregnancy. But from second trimester onwards, ur gynae will prescribe u the prenatal vitamins ...
 
Hi Prayingformiracle, doc didn't even prescribe Duphaston pills (Baby protection use) for you??? Just Folic Acid throughout your 1st trimester??

Duphaston pills is for who has bleeding or spotting during early pregnancy de ... If so far no bleeding or spotting during pregnancy , no need to eat de ..

KKH is horrendous. Suggest you don't choose there.
TMC is also not advisable. But probably slightly better than KKH .
 
I love Kkh private suite. I can't wait to go back there! The Nurses and midwives were very professional and the food was very good. My Gynae was Dr KT Tan. She is a very decisive person in all our consultation and a specialist you can rely on during delivery. Cheers! Kkh has the most traffic of patient and the Doctors there see a lot more cases. The Hospital is the most well equipped. So unless one is afraid of overcrowding, I don't see why it's bad at all!
 
Those who have visited Dr Poon, does he give MC? I was told no MC is given for pre-natal checkup unless the pregnant mum is sick
 
hi. i have also recently changed to dr poon. so far so good. i find he is a patient gynae and will let u know the do and donts
