Hi tinyfeet, congrats on your pregnancy!
I consulted Dr Mary Yang 2 1/2 years ago when I got married. I told her that my period has never been regular & I experienced very bad cramps every time my menses came. She saw a small cyst during my scan but said it was normal for women to have cysts so went on to give me clomid to concieve.
I got pregnant but unfortunatey, i suffered a miscarriage within my 1st trimester. She did a D&C on me. Before the op, i had been crying. when she saw me, she said 'ah yah, there's nothing to cry about lah'. I was very upset at the way she spoke to me especially when I was lying on the table, about to lose my baby.
After the op & during the next check-up, she never once asked how i was feeling. matter-of-factly went through the check-up & told me to see her in 2 months time.
i do not know of other gyanes then so i continued seeing her, hoping to get pregnant again. A few months later, my colleagues recommended me to Dr Peter Chew. He saw the cyst & said I could be suffering from endo. within that few weeks, I realised that I was 1 month pregnant but I lost the baby soon after. Dr Chew told me to remove the cyst as well as D/C. It had been confirmed that I was suffering from endo.
I could have avoided going through 2 miscarriages if I had known of my endo and I find it strange that given Dr Yang's experience, it didnt cross her mind.
I remembered, when she answers my questions, she was very straightforward, sometimes using medical terms that i do not understand. and when i asked her to explain, she sounded impatient, frustrated & spoke very fast.
The reason why I stopped seeing her was not because she's a bad gynae (I've come to terms that just because she failed to suspect that i might have endo, doesnt make her an inexperienced doctor) but because of her poor PR skills and insensitivity.
And seeing both doctors, I couldnt help but to compare the 2 of them. Dr Chew helped me a lot when I went through my op and treatments with him with his tone of voice and words of comfort. otherwise I dont know how I could survive the second m/c.
I'm now 7 months pregnant. But because of my past m/c experiences, I had been very paranoid during the first 3 months and even until now. I cant help but fear for my baby's well being.
This is my personal experience and views on Dr Yang.
