| My husband and I thought Sally F was wonderful from preconception (we went to her from the outset) to post natal care; responsive to our endless questions, always ready to explain options and never once suggested a C-section (which seems to be routine in HK). I saw Patrick Chan when Sally was away and he was extremely nice also.
Maybe you should narrow it down to a couple of recommendtions and go see the docs to establish if they are right for you? It's so important to have someone you are 100% comfortable with also someone who respects what you want (e.g. low level of intervention, natural etc.)
For me the birthing experience was fantastic at the Matilda - all the staff were wonderful, the environment was soothing and a millions miles away from some of my friend's harrowing experiences in the UK and public hospitals in other countries.
Obviously I'd planned to ease into labour and have everything go to plan - ha ha.. I ended up with pre-eclampsia, everything was rushed and I had to be induced early. Despite that, Sally and the Matilda staff were amazingly supportive and I have good memories of it all (aside of course from the pain which, I have to say while bad, wasn't as awful as I expected - the drugs worked well!)
The aftercare and servcies were excellent also - baby clinics, breastfeeding assistance, mother and baby groups etc.  |
