i read some reviews that dr wong isn't that great...Hi hazel, I heard about him and was considering him via Dr WOng mun tat @ Bukit gombak.... U using Dr Adrian?
Hi lovebblove, I'm seeing Dr Chia Yee Tien. She does night consultation at The Edinburgh Clinic (306 Choa Chu Kang Avenue 4, Singapore 680306) opposite CCK interchange on Monday and Wednesday nights. She has her own clinic at Mt E which you would only need to visit during Oscar test and detailed scan. She does delivery at Mt E, and I heard Mt A too. She was my sister's gynae and according to my sister her package will only kick in when you are 20 weeks. I personally feel that Dr Chia is very good, professional and caring. But she can be very direct at times so you need to be able to accept that.

Do u know the package price for dr chia?
Hi all, for me, my very first checkup I went to Dr Adrian Woodworth at thomson medical (choa chu kang), but felt like my consultation with him was very rushed, like 5 mins kind, even my mum who was with me said to me "huh, that's all?", so my hubby suggested to see Dr Chia Yee Tien for my next appt since she consults at night at Edinburgh clinic. We were more comfortable cuz felt she was very professional and experienced (though yes, quite direct but that's fine by us) so went with her for the rest of my pregnancy. Truth be told, she got more friendly as I proceeded later in my pregnancy anyway. We didn't get the package at 20 weeks cuz felt it wasn't worth it, was cheaper for us to pay by visit. I can't remember what was the package price though.
Anyway, though she is supposed to be able to deliver at Mt A, she doesn't want to go there to deliver, and told us to go to Mt E. Told us honestly that it takes much longer for her to get to Mt A just to see us, and anyway she produced a piece of paper with special rates for 2-bedder at Mt E that were only slightly more ex compared to Mt A pricing. I believe during my time there were many mummies who were seeing Dr Woodworth and he also didn't wanna go Mt A, and convinced them to go Thomson also, so for mummies who are super keen on Mt A might be better off looking for a Mt A gynae.
During my delivery, I was glad that I went with Mt E. Dr Chia dropped by every few hours to check on me since her clinic was nearby. Also, my baby wasn't exactly in a right position, and being the expert that she was, she somehow reached in to adjust my daughter's head! It was a relatively difficult labour for me, but I believe if I were seeing a less experienced gynae, I would have been an emergency c-sect case, yet Dr Chia managed to deliver me naturally with light vac-assist. Stitches fully healed by 6 weeks post partum check at Edinburgh.
Fast forward to post partum period, I went to Dr Chia when I thought I had mastitis since she was a female gynae. She diagnosed that they were just blocked ducts and helped me to clear them. After a few weeks, I thought I had blocked ducts again and went to see her, and she told me I had skin infection on my breasts, and prescribed me antibiotics. Call me old school, but it's great to have a female gynae to help with such stuff instead of a male one, haha.
All in all, happy to have gone with Dr Chia, and my hubby said if we have a 2nd kid, we'll go to her again.

Thanks for the detailed sharing. I just got to know that Dr Chia no longer offer package from Week 20, but so far my experience with her has been reassuring and good so we will most likely go ahead with her for the rest of the pregnancy
Hi.. I'm an Apr mummy and seeing Dr Chia now. She has now change her appointment days to Mondays and Fridays at Edinburgh clinic. She is really direct and we are fine w it as she explains things clearly. However, I'm v worried about the Mt E package.. will it be v ex?
