My baby is due at the end of the year. I figured it is probably a good time to start looking for a paediatrician. Can anyone recommend one that they are really happy with?? What is the norm? Do parents usually meet with the paediatrician first and what questions should i prepare myself to ask (obviously first time mom)? Any info is much appreciated.

Hi Avi,
I can recommend Dr Ou. She practices in DB (Island Health). She's very calm and friendly. She has an excellent rapor with the children including being able to give my 2 year injections without him creating a fuss. She also has little tricks for my 4 month old like getting me to breast feed whilst she has an injection so again no fuss.
In my case I didn't meet her before hand; the first time we met was in the delivery room at the Matilda. Hope that helps,
Jools

Thanks Jools. I think a friend of mine also mentioned her.

Hi Jools,
Does Dr. Ou practises on Hong Kong island? If so do you have her contact number. I take it DB stands for Discovery Bay and I do not live on DB.

Hi Momo,
I think she also practices in Repulse Bay but I don't have a number. Yes DB does stand for Discovery Bay. I am seeing a friend tomorrow who knows where she works at Repulse Bay so I'll let you know.

Hi Momo,

She practices in the Shui On Building in Wan Chai ( across from Grand Hyatt) in Lucy Lord's office.
Here her number for that office 2824-0822
