hi people, just wondering if anyone has visited his clinic or other women's clinic under TMC to get the pre-marital screening, as well as roughly the price of the package.. thanks =)
am planning for a baby and came upon this thread. thought i'd just visit this dr wong for discussion on family planning and a menstrual problem that has been bugging me.
called the clinic and made an appt. told the nurse exactly what i wanted to see gynae for. she registered me in a morning cos she said only then would the gynae have time to talk to me.
fine. since it was a weekday morning, i took leave. told hubby to take leave too just to accompany me.
a day before the appt, the nurse called me to ask me again why i needed to see the gynae. i repeated myself. she then said the gynae will refuse to see patients who are not pregnant. she asked if i have irregular menses. i told her exactly my concern and she didn't think it was a big deal (bleeding for days after runs. is that normal??)
she said at 29 yrs, i'm young. so does that imply I wouldn't need to plan for a baby?
in the end, she cancelled my appt and told me to go GP instead. i had to cancel leave and get hubby to cancel leave.
think how this nurse treated me, or if what she said abt the gynae is true, then i think it's very unprofessional. if they don't see patients who are not pregnant, or do not have irregular menses problem, then put it down in SOP. don't waste pple's time.
Definitely not going back to this gynae and clinic.
my 2 cents worth.

Hi ham,
I am sorry to read abt your post but Dr Wong is definitely not the type. I also visited him abt planning BB prob. I have been trying to conceive for a year b4 i went to see him. He is very patient and explain the different steps that i should take. had a diagnostic operation wif him too to make sure my tubes are not blocked, my uterus is ok.
It is not true that he only sees women who are preggy. i went to him a few times for consultation on conceiving problems too.
Maybe you would like to try calling in the evening. Evening nurse is more friendly. Morning one a bit hostile. Do note, they are not opened on Wed evening.

Hi Ham,
Unfortunately, I'm also one of them that got told to go to a GP cos' i'm only there for irregular menstruation. I took leave on that day, think was a wednesday, and it is not my first time visiting Dr Wong.
MInd u, the nurse only called like on the morning of my appt. Said the exact same thing she said to u. So i told her, I took leave just to see the doc and moreover i'm trying to conceive. If i can see a gp, I would have gone to the GP. So ultimately, she told me to go down like within 30 mins!
So pissed.

hi ladies,
when you all call up to make the appointment, was it in the evening or morning? like what little girl said, evening nurse is more friendly compared to the ones in the morning.
the morning nurse is a bit hostile. she treats everyone the same, even for pregnant patients. but i guess that is just the way she is lor...

Hi ladies,
I'm new here.. I am 28 and TCC for 3 mths. Given my super irregular menses which comes only once in more than 2 mths, it seems difficult for planning and I have no confidence to give myself more time to try as I am hoping for a bunny bb. I decided to visit Dr Wong soon as it's near my home and given the good reviews here.
Any ladies have visited him recently for bb planning? mind sharing if there is any success and how long you waited to preggy? are his charges for bb planning high? Thanks in advance for sharing!

Yulia,
since u've already been trying for almost a year.. i'll think that you may need some help... did you try tracking your ovulation using OPKs?
hmm... i dunno if u should see just normal gynae or fertility specialist leh.. i've got a few friends who did their tests with KKH then took the reports and go to pte gynaes...

Hi yulia, do u mean ur gynae is not dr wong?
I just seen Dr Wong for follow up as menses is over... and he did a scan to check if everything is ok... since am ok now, he asked me to go natural before putting me on clomid etc as i've only TTC for 4 mths. He did mention will put me on clomid if i do not conceive after some attempt. So could it be becoz u tried 2 yrs hence ur gynae put u on clomid?

Yulia,
doesnt mean that we have regular menses means we ovulate.. menses come due to the thickening and breakding of the uterine lining...
your gynae did a scan on you?

wanna chat on msn? jas14eva @ hotmail . com
ignore the spacing. just scared of spammers. =)
take care and have a great pregnancy!

Hi Jaster, yes yes... it's my 1st pregnancy and kinda excited + blur now... I visited Dr Wong last week and he's quite nice though man of few words... hmm.. hb and I find him quite friendly and not pushy/ arrogant... beforehand, I see him for fertility and he wants me to try on my own 1st w/o any medication... then 2.5 months later my good news finally came.. his 1st reaction was "WOW! didnt expect to see u so soon..." he seems happy for us...
I seldom msn... will drop u an email to find out more? how many mths preg are u le?

Can ask u something? Did u do the OSCAR test? what're the procedures involved? is it costly? Dr Wong passed me the brochure for reading 1st.

babysee,
hahaa.. i reported to the clinic at around 7 plus and left for dinner! haha.. see if next time can meet... =P
yes.. I did the OSCAR. our mentality is that if turns out that the kid requires special attention and care when born, at least we can get ourselves prepared way before hand...
OSCAR scan will be done at TMC. The sonographer there will scan and take measurements of your baby, take your body weight and also to take some blood samples from you. Report will be sent directly back to Dr Wong's clinic, and he will review with you the results.
The OSCAR scan only provides us the probability and it's not a conclusive test lah. And if required (when the test results is really not desirable) further diagnostic tests maybe done lor (Dr Wong will advise again de)
As for the cost, I can't really remember how much I've paid for it... $200+++ I think. So depends on you and DH whether you all want to do the test. Some of my friends didn't =)
If you want, the morning clinic nurse will help you arrange an appointment. Usually saturdays there are no vacant slots. I went down on the Saturday morning around 8am as walk in and they will try to slot us in for the scan. Depends on the appointments on that day, if we are lucky enough, they can see us earlier if not we will have to wait... =)

Hi Jaster, hmm... I think I have some recollection of someone pop by to 'register' and left for dinner.. hee... I was sitting on the black chairs at one corner..
thanks so much for the information.. have more idea what to expect for OSCAR now... Ya, I agree it would be better to do a scan now and get mentally prepared. Ooh.. TMC, I heard the parking's horrible... Shall call the clinic next week to make appt for OSCAR...
btw, wana ask if u are delivering at TMC? I'm contemplating btw TMC or Mt A. I'm thinking too far now... heee...

babysee,
hahaa... =P i wore a pink tank top and my hubby a blue long sleeve shirt!
no probz! i share what i can remember..hahaa.. nowadays my memory has been pretty bad lah!
TMC has got valet parking so just let them park the car for you lor.. =) no worries about that.
I think you will need to collect a orange slip from the clinic before heading down to TMC for the scan. Did Dr Wong tell you that you have to do the scan before the next appointment? If no, then there's no hurry bah... =)
Mount Alvernia! Cos that's where I was born!!! and nope, you're not thinking too far lah... hahaa.. it's good to research more and decide later when it is time... Can go for their hospital tours to take a look at both the hospitals' environment. more details can be found in their website. =)

Hiyah Jaster... I was wearing a bright pink top too...
Not say u... i'm only in 1st Tri and super forgetful!! I wanted to return 3 library books ytd but forgot to bring the 3rd one which lying on the coffee table. know why? When I reach the coffee table, by instinct I took the remote control and start watching TV
Dr Wong didnt tell me anything. Next visit will be my wk#12 le.. OSCAR is supposed to be done btw wk#11-13 right... So I thought it will be performed at his clinic. So i'd better call the nurse and make appt.. Luckily I asked u! Else could have missed it..
duno why I am more incline to Mt A... coz I heard their nurses are more caring. More impt they will pat pat my baby and not leave them to cry? My hb's concern was parking >_<"'
