Hi! I have just delivered with Dr Chan in July. Initially was looking for a female gynae at TMC when I was 6 weeks. Chanced upon good reviews on Dr chan and thus set up for a first appointment with her.
She has been patient with my endless questions and never seem to brush off any of my concerns.
I missed a step on the stairs at work one day during my first trimester and I was so terrified we would lose the baby. Called her clinic and the nurses told me to go down to clinic asap, as it was close to closing time, they could hear I was panicking and told me they would wait for me. Dr chan did a scan upon seeing me and assured me baby's fine. She remained very composed and warm throughout the entire episode and spent a good half an hour to comfort and assure me even though it was way past her clinic opening hours.
Towards the end of my pregnancy, we discovered our baby's weight gain isn't as optimal as we would like to be, she was detailed in her scans and checks to ensure baby's safe and well. So at week 39, upon dr chan's recommendation, we admitted into the hospital to be induced.
All was well until my dilation was not progressing as much as both dr chan and us would like, after 7hours, i was still only at 3cm and my body showing signs of distress. We then opted for emergency csect.
Dr chan was very warm, patient but at the same time very professional throughout the labour and surgery. She stayed by my side to calm me down at the OT while the nurses prepare for the surgery. She was really quick and good, I was dreading a long surgery but time passed so quickly, it felt like a few minutes after the anethetist gave me a dosage of painkiller and voila! My baby was borned!
Her stitching skills are very good. My csect scar after 2 months is a single clean red line.
She was very insistent during my stay in TMC for my wearing of binder and cutting down of movement out of the bed. I would often received some minor telling off by her when she caught me off guard one morning while she made her rounds.
It was during the final stretch of my pregnant and the delivery that I really felt I was in very good hands. After the delivery, I am dead certain if I were to have a #2, would definitely go back to her. While her package may not be the cheapest around, but it is really worth every single bit when she took care of me so well.
Just to add, one day while I was staying at TMC, she saw her patients at the clinic till about 5-ish, then she would made her rounds to her patients at the ward. My hubby bumped into her in the lift that day at 8 in the evening. She was making her way home. Due to some emergency case, we saw her at our corridor at about 11pm that same night! Really hats off to her. The next morning at 730, she back making her rounds again. Really amazing..
