dr.gosh is not american, but the majority of his patients are ex-pats and americans so he is familiar with american needs, questions and concerns. like dr. ferguson, he is also affiliated with matilda.

Dr Lucy Lord is British. I think she's great - she delivers at Matilda and Adventist.

I also recommend Dr Lucy Lord, she has a reputation though for not being very warm, but she is also regarded as one of the best at what she does. I am in my second pregnancy and saw her upto around 5 months, at which stage I discovered she was going to be away when I was due. I was very happy with her though (I actually quite liked her matter of fact attitude). Now, I am seeing Dr Alex Doo. Many of his clients are western expats, and I am extremely happy with him. He is a lot more expensive than Lucy ($1900 HK per visit as opposed to Lucy's $950) but for me, it is a small price to pay for comfort knowing he will be there on the day. I think he acquired his qualifications from UK, and his English is perfect (and he has a great personality). On another note, two of my close friends have just delivered in the last month with Sally Ferguson. She also comes highly recommended from them. All three mainly deliver at Matilda. Best of luck.

Do you mean trained in western countries or are we talking about something else that frankly I'm finding a little bit sad? I found my OB by asking people about their own experiences and then meeting with my shortlist and asking questions myself. Yes he's HK Chinese and I'm not. He's got the training, experience and good track record. Who cares where he was born.
