I’m a new mummy and have been seeing Dr Ryan at woodleigh TMC.
Really thankful and happy to have chosen him! I notice he’s very detailed and caring, making sure he gets the most accurate est date of delivery for the parents and that mummy is well equipped with all the impt info for the pregnancy diet and supplements, required blood tests and such. During the ultrasound scans, he even went the extra mile to check the areas for any cysts etc. which might have gone unnoticed since I’ve not gone for any routine ultrasound scans or checks of such.
He has experience in high risk obstetrics so i know I’m in good hands if my pregnancy and delivery journey goes south (touch wood) !
I just delivered at TMC about 3 weeks ago.
Very thankful to have had Dr Ryan Lee as my Gynae!
My pregnancy journey was filled with uncertainties like having a lower weight baby, low lying placenta and baby in breeched position at 31 weeks. I hoped for a natural vaginal delivery (NVD) but these pointed to the need for a c-sec at 37 weeks.
Knowing I had hoped for a NVD and my worries on the above, Dr Ryan provided much reassurance and monitored baby more closely, advising on some additional nutrition and ordering a more detailed scan to check on baby.
Thankfully, the placenta moved up and baby’s position turned! Dr continued to monitor closely week on week to ensure that baby’s weight was still steadily increasing and amniotic fluid levels within the safe range. It was very reassuring to have Dr Ryan’s watchful eye on baby’s development. He provided clear timelines so that I knew what to expect based on baby’s condition, at the same time also tried his best to accede to my requests (ie. for NVD, no induction but wait for natural contractions if possible). He did membrane sweeps which would help to trigger contractions and avoid the need for induction.
Eventually, due to decreased fluid levels, baby had to be induced. During the course of the induction, baby’s heart rate dropped twice! Dr Ryan skillfully managed both instances, ensuring baby and mummy’s safety. Each step of the way went smoothly according to how Dr had planned and predicted, and baby was safely out 15 hours later! As a first time mum, it was amazing how I only had a superficial tear requiring minimal stitches (no episiotomy required). Dr did not use any instruments to deliver baby. I was up and about in just a couple of hours.
All in all, I am very thankful to Dr Ryan and the teams at Thomson Specialists (Woodleigh) and at Thomson Medical Centre for enabling me to have a smooth and pleasant pregnancy journey as a first time mum.
Highly recommended Dr Ryan!
