1) I saw dr Ben Chan in TST (femina healthcare), he used to work at QMH but has gone private. He is very knowledgeable and patient and good in answering questions. Since I didn't deliver privately, I don't know what he is like during labour and delivery. His practice could get a bit crowded in the afternoon though.
2) Nothing much to add to other posters, except that at most private hospitals you can't book a private room in advance either.
3) I believe QEH is the public hospital for your catchment area. They have private rooms as well, but you can't book them in advance, it's based on availability at time of check in. Your wife needs to bring her and your HKID and an address proof to register. If you plan to go to a private doctor you don't need to register that early in pregnancy. Otherwise you will be having checkups at two doctors. Of course, if you prefer, you can see both.
4) Not sure where to find a Pui Yuet easily, though when I placed an add at the labour department for a part time domestic helper (locals), two out of three that I interviewed had Pui Yuet experience and education. Maybe you can contact the labour department to inquire. http://www.labour.gov.hk

Sorry, correction, PMH is the hospital of your area.
