i've had 2 children delivered by her and many friends (doctors included) who go to her.
Why she's good:
- on average, my waiting time is 15min. Longest maybe 45min (minus the one time she had to go do an emergency c-section). Unlike 3-4 hours at some other gynaes. She does this by limiting that number of patients that she has and once her delivery schedule is full, she stops taking in new patients. I like this. It means that she isn't in it just for the money and wants to give every patient her full attention.
- gentle in her procedures, but no-nonsense and wont volunteer advice unless you ask. I think it's because she does get a lot of dr patients and relatively knowledgeable patients who have already done their research so they don't need to ask that many questions.
- genuinely cares despite her business-like manner. She remembered the name of my first-born, she took extra time to see a friend who had post-natal depression... i just like her.
Don't see her if you like being mothered, hand-held. Otherwise, she's a great medical practitioner. I feel (and my husband feels) she's always on top of things, completely in charge. When complications arise in the delivery room, you definitely want her just the way she is.
