He's simply fabulous! My 2nd child was deliverd by him and it's great! No painful stitches, in fact, I can pee and sit cross legged barely 8hrs after birthing. Also, cannot even see the stitches. He's very experienced and confident! Higly recommended. If you need a chat , you can call me at 81122212, no prob, cheers!
I think shd be HK Ho. He's my gynae too & i personally think he is a experience gynae. overall, i'm pleased with him cos although he's is abit kiasu, i realised he wants to make sure both mother n bb is safe n sound under his care. I did not experience painful stitches & i healed well.
Btw, the nurses in his clinic may appear "cold" but actually they r very nice ppl. One of them even come to my labour ward to see how i'm coping with my labour & gave me her encouragement.

Yes, he's Dr Ho Hon Kwok, for short, we call him Dr HK Ho. Correct! I'm someone who's really scared of pain, but I did not need painkillers at all from him, WONDERFUL!!! Yes, he's very experienced and gentle. He was last time from KK hosp, he has delivered more than 20,000 babies liao. Also worked in UK before, thus very very knowledgeable! In case you need to know, his clinic is at Mt Alvernia 6353-8833. Agree, I love Susan too, very nice lady! And even during birthing, the nurses are really good and experienced! All the nurses at Mt Alvernia also say that Dr Ho is GREAT!

hi emma,
i had ceasar done by Dr Ho. Have to say he's really really good. Not much pain and i was up and about the next day. no worries about having to clean the wound and change the bandage or whatsoever. did not need to bother about the wound when i went home. i had one set of stiches removed one week later and the final set the next week. in fact, the operation was the least of my problems.

Hello,
I'm new on this thread. Got my first appointment with Dr Ho in August...have to wait for more than 1 month for my first appointment with him. He's really popular!!!
I'm not pregnant yet, but am starting my family-planning. So thought better go for a first thorough checkup. Never been to a gynae before, quite apprehensive and scared. What to do, I'm such a coward...very scared of needles and blood that's why postpone going to gynae for so long (Have been married 2 years lor).
Could someone let me know what to expect for my first checkup? So that I'm abit more prepared!

Hi all,
I'm using doc ho too for my 2nd one (now only abt 12 wks). Got to see him almost ev wk or so cos preg was not v stable loh. He's really nice and v assuring. Got to know him cos he diagnosed and operated on my mum who's got ovarian cancer. A v experienced doc who is also a fren and counsellor at your times of need. Can't tell you how difficult it was to hear tt mum had cancer (standing outside op theatre, past 12 midnite etc, abit like tv show), he did it in a sensitive way tt was both upfront and yet encouraging. He visited my mum early in the morn the next day to break the news to her and encouraged her to fight on. He's not the type of patronising doc that tells you "It's ok, you'll definitely make it" etc, he'll tell you what he knows and encourage you to move on w grace and strength.
I am so glad I hv him as my 2nd gynae after my not too gd experience w my 1st doc. Must say his nurses are excellent too, don't think they are cold like someone said leh...
apple(blur2) I think dr ho charges $70 for consultation... subsequently also $70 unless it's on package.

Hi all
just curiousity, i heard from some friends, they say their gyane are very good as they able to know certain things by feeling the stomach and once they scan, it is really wat she say...
wonder is Dr Ho also that expert?
every visit there will be scanning rite? heard some ppl say always scan, is not very good for the baby. How true is it?

Hi apple,
I'm only in 1st trimester, stomach still small small, nothing to touch and tell I think (except lard), so don't know. =)
But I guess he probably doesn't touch to gauge.
For my 1st gynae (also practising in Mt A), she does scans and lets me hear my baby's heartbeat almost ev time til birth, w/o me asking for it. When I asked doc ho to let me hear the heartbeat of my foetus, he told me there are some who say that that may not be gd for baby loh, cos of the higher dosage of power used. For the same reason, 3D scans may not be all that fantastic too.
Don't think scans in general wld harm baby tho. Otherwise it wldn't be used. Don't worry too much ya.
Btw, my preg is fine now. Tks for the well wishes.

hi
for my first visit to dr ho, i paid roughly $200 plus coz i did some blood test, collect some vitamins, did some scanning...its becoz i went to him too late, that time i was already 4th mth pregnant..
after that i paid around $600 for the package too..it dnt include medicine or bloodtest, or any detailed scan...as for the baby's heartbeat test was not included also..
nearer to the date of my delivery, he found out that my baby din put on any weight, so did some heartbeat test for baby, and he asked mi to monitor the baby's movement, whether the baby did kick me every day for 10times...
one week later, i put on 2kg..
after that i juz wait for my edd lor..if nt i will have to give birth earlier, this wat he told mi..
he was quite orite..
a nice gynea..
but eventually, he told mi that my edd was 15july then later on nearer to the edd he told mi my date was 25jul...
i went to him for appt on 9jul, did some heartbeat test for baby, normal appt, he din tell mi that im going to deliver soon..
after that on the day late afternoon, ard evening time, i notice some water coming out from mi, then in the morning ard 1am on 10jul, i went down to mt a...
then nurse @ the delivery suite ask mi to admit coz i got some shows of contraction...
in the morn 8am when doc ho came to check mi, he broke my water bag, then contraction became very very pain...finally i gave birth on 11am++
then i asked him, tot u said my edd was 25jul, then he replied, i calculate the wrong date...
i was unprepared that i will give birth on that day...
but overall, his a very nice doc....
once u see the baby coming out from u, all the pains will be gone...

Hi blur green,
Dr Ho is abt in his 40s (prime for specialists). The clinic operates full day (from 830am - 5pm) on weekdays (except for Wed + Fri). Wed, Fri + Sat he operates half day (830am - 1pm).
Nurses are nice. I have spotting when I was 6 weeks pregnant and have to go thru twice weekly hormone injections until I reach 13th week.
Nurses are very friendly and most of the injections were pretty painless.
His clinic is pretty crowded (esp esp Sat) so be prepared to wait around 1hr or so.

Hi Blur green
Yup. Injection cum pills. Pills to be taken 3 times a day, at 7am, 3pm & 11pm. Both gotta take until 13th week.
My spotting was not light brown colour. It's like my menses (ard 3rd/4th day kind of flow). Lasted for 1.5 days. Dr Ho gave me 1 week MC to stay at home. He told me to rest and dun worry too much coz I didnt experience pain and the sag didnt move so Dr Ho says the signs of miscarriage is not there. It was rather comforting to hear la.
After that no more liao.. thank god.. Now I'm into my 16th week. So now shd be safe. Before that I have to see Dr Ho every week also. He say can stretch to every 2 weeks if I'm very busy. But on the safe side, he prefers to see me every week lor.
Now I see him every month.
