Dr Stephanie Chow
I was delighted with Dr Chow for my first few visits but was quite amazed when she told me there was no need for me to attend ante natal classes before the birth of my first child. She said the breathing exercises were pointless as I would have an epidural, this in spite of never having discussed my preferred birth plan with her. The final straw was when on my last visit at 27 weeks, she said that I had put on too much weight. I am 5'9" and have gained 5 kilos in 6 months. This may be a reasonable caution for a petite Asian lady, but as a large-framed westerner I think I've done pretty well. I won't be going back to her.

Dr. Stephanie Chow
Dr. Chow delivered our son Shane and I must say, I couldn't have asked for a better Dr. She was quite strict on how much wieght I was allowed to gain during my preganancy and very encouraging when I was doing well.
Dr. Chow was welcoming to my husband who came for all the visits and explained things to us in terms we could understand.
She never rushed us with our appoinments and was great to speak to, even on topics not relating to pregnancy. Since this was my first child, I wrote questions to ask her at each visit, and she spent the time to answer all of them. She was also quick to return my calls, even if she was overseas!
We hadn't decided on which pediatrician to use in the hospital for our Newborn and Dr. Chow, said she would take care of the baby in the nursery.
Her friendliness and caring makes her a fantastic Dr., and I highly recommend her to any lady; even if you're not having a baby, she's a great gyno!

Rushed Out the Door and Very Expensive
Maybe its bc I chose appt times during the weekends but I found Dr Chow very rushed. And compared to many other OBs, she is very expensive. However I would probably go to her as my gynec since those types of appointments are very often.
