I'm with Dr Tham and yes, his waiting time is very long cos he is really very popular. The longest i have waited is close to 2 hrs and its with appointment.. He is nice and gentle but will not say much to you unless u have questions for him..my consultations are on average about 5 to 10 mins...

unlike some of the mummies here, i wouldnt recommend Dr Benjamin Tham because he is really popular and the queues at his clinics are usually very long. Even with an appointment, i always will need to wait for about 2 hours on average...which i dun feel is acceptable for a private gynae.. there...

its best to see a gynae if you are spotting.. then the gynae will prescribe the medicine to you if he/she thinks you need it.. anw not true that the gynae will not see you till week 7/8..you can go anytime u like.. its just that if there is no problem at all, its better to wait till week 7/8...

panorama and harmony are the same (both are Non-invasive prenatal testing or NIPT for short) just offered by different companies so different names i think the scan you are referring to is just the NT scan.. detailed scan (in which they will count fingers, toes, organs, etc) is done during the...

hmmm i see... then its slightly different from the panorama test that my TMC gynae is offering.. mine is just blood test (i think its the standard one.. i.e. no choice of basic or extended) with an option to add on a Nuchal Translucency (NT) scan.. if i do not recall wrongly, both the blood test...

what's the difference between extended panel and basic panel? extended panel is blood test + scan of nose bone? which hospital are u doing ur panorama at?
