Hi my_nico,
What’s your definition of a good gynae? Mine would be someone who really takes the time to explain things to their patients & make them feel comfortable, not someone who’s just out to make money & make you feel like you’re taking up so much of their precious time, just because you ask more than one question!For me, I chose a female gynae & had absolutely no regrets. She’s experienced, patient & really shows her care & concern about her patients’ wellbeing. Of course it helps that she’s absolutely fantastic coping with emergencies! She was recommended by my childhood friend who nearly died at childbirth. She suffered a collapsed uterus & was bleeding non-stop. Dr. Susanna Huam of Damansara Specialist Hospital saved her life.
For me I started off by choosing the hospital nearest to me. In case baby decides to come at unopportune time, I wouldn’t need to elbow through the notorious KL jam. Later on, found out from cousins that there’s a good gynea in Assunta Hospital. So we went ahead with Dr. Liew Fah Onn. He is a very experienced gynae. Charges in Assunta is quite reasonable, about RM40 for consultation (except 1st visit).
i agree with you kae. how much dr. susanna charge??
mom2one, where’s assunta hospital?? i live in batu 3 shah alam.
Yep having a hospital nearest to your home is the best pick, as my baby girl was premature and rushing to the hospital is hell if it is too far. My dr was very good. He name was Dr Jeremy Chuah but sadly he passed on away recently. He was from Pantai Bangsar. Abt RM 70 per visit except for 1st visit.
Recently i am also searching for a new one and was recommended by my frend Dr Patrick Chia in Pantai Bangsar as well, Perhaps you can check him out. He seems to have a lot of exeprience especially you have troubled pregnancy. Here’s the link http://www.fmgc.com.my/

hi all,
have any of you heard of Dr Tang Boon Nee? She’s a female gynae at SJMC. Appreciate your feedback as I am planning to see her. This is my first child.
Dear all,
I strongly recommend to check out http://www.fmgc.com.my/
They have 3 doctors at the center.
1) Prof. S. Raman
2) Dr. Patrick Chia
3) Dr. Yap (Female doc)
All the doctors there are very experience and are well known among all the gynaecologist in Malaysia & overseas (i.e. branded gynae). They handled alotsa problems in pregnancy & women wellbeing.
But one word of advise, pls be patient. The appointments are very very very pack (especially on Saturday), therefore, the waiting time estimated will take ard 1 – 2 hours easily. However, u will feel is worth to wait for such long time becoz of their level of care & the experience of the doctors + their good advices.
Check it out. =)
Hi Ist time mom……I strongly recommend Dr Tang Boon Nee….
I have just given birth and throughout my pregnancy from the 4th month, i have been very very happy with Dr Tang.
She really takes time to explain everything to you in detail.
Was actually seeing another gynae but not personal enough to me…
Dr Tang is very nice n gentle …a very humble n simple lady…
As u know SJMC can be making u wait….but as long as u get there by 8.15 am…u shd be between nos 1-5 n if she does not have delivery then you shd b done by 10.30 latest.
hope this helps u….
Hi my_nico,
Dr. Susanna charges RM60 per visit.
thanks for all your response. i already go to dr. siti at sjmc. she’s good but for me the overall charge too expensive. for dr. siti they charge me 90 rm and then for image 66 rm for outpatient 12 rm and that’s not include the medicine. is there anyone know about selangor medical center and salam medical center??
Hi my_nico
Dr Siti is good also la. She very experience one. Just make sure U write down all your questions U wanna ask her cos she busy and have tons of patients that wanna see her. I find her prices are very reasonable..after considering all the prices…I think the bottm line is who U feel comfortable with, & who U trust.
Things that u shld consider b4 choosing a gynae:
1) Hospital location
2) Hospital charges
3) Gynae’s experience
4) Gynae’s charges
I strongly recommend Dr Delaila of SJMC. Her private clinic is in SS19 Subang Jaya is open daily till 11pm. Consultation is FOC & normal ultrasound is RM55 only. She even have a 4D ultrasound machine there. Charges is higher if u see her in SJMC. Delivery is done in SJMC. She is quite detail in her explanation. Queue depends on days /time…hardly any patient if u go on Saturday nights. I’m currently seeing her for my 3rd pregnancy. Used to see another famous gynae @ Pantai, Bangsar, but decided to change gynae after she missed to detect neural tube defect in my 2nd child.
*Tried Prof Raman of FMCG too, he’s good & Dr Delaila will recommend him if see sees anything abnormal in the ultrasound, for 2nd opinion. But the charges is pretty steep. Did a detailed ultrasound with him once for RM250. Found out its just as detail as Dr Delaila’s.
I’ve seen bills from these hospital for delivery (normal & C-section) & I can roughly rank the prices:
1) D’sara specialist hosp (highest)
2) Pantai Bangsar / Ampang Putri
3) SJMC (lowest)
& somehow I found that most of the staff in my company will need a C-section in DSH. Dunno if its just a coincidence or the gynae there just prefer do it the fast way…hmm…well those are just based on my personal experience…
Another tip to save cost on pregnancy supplements is to purchase themt at your local pharmacies:
1) Folic acid – cost only 10sen per tablet, while medical centres charge up to 50sen per tablet.
2) Calcium – u can easily find 600mg tabs calcium at the pharmacy at cheaper/ discounted prices
Dear my_nico,
Assunta Hospital is located at PJ center, in between new town & old town. You can take the Jalan 222 exit along Federal Highway, then turn right (if coming from Shah Alam towards KL), pass through 1 runabout (12 o’clock), and Assunta Hosp is just on your right at the 2nd roundabout.
hi mom-of 3, can u give me the name and location for dr delilah’s clinic at subang jaya..tx
Hi Liz, a suggestion- why dun U see Dr Delaila at SJMC first and after that can ask her about her private clinic. If U find out further details do let us know ya. Consultation is FOC — this is the first I ever heard!
hi karen,
tks for your update. I did see dr Tang few days ago. U r right. She is patient and nice and explains well. I am 7 mths now am planning to deliver with her. Let me know if you have any further info. Tks.
anyone knows a good gynae in Wangsa Maju or Lembah Keramat?those mentioned above is far from my place..tqvm
i went straight to dr delaila’s clinic the first time… charges were reasonable… RM135 total – ultrasound, urine test, CD-with video/image clips & consultation…
RM210 when doing the vagina swab for strep B….
RM490 … when doing the blood test… supposed to di it 2 times.. one for mom’s blood typing/grouping/antibody… etc…. another for baby, to check baby’s risk for down syndrome and etc… but i did it in 1 go… so thats why RM490..
due in 2 weeks @ SJMC.. hope it wont cost too much
oh yah.. i bought all my vits/supplements on my own… to save cost…. told her what I have (obimin, folic acid etc…)… if she think i need iron or calcium… she’ll tell me…
Mom_Of_3, do you mind to name me tat Pantai Medical doctor tat u hv mentioned earlier? Was wondering coz i did my routine maternity checkup from month 1 – 9 for my 1st and 2nd pregnancy with one of the famous gynae at PMC. (But delivered both my babies at Colombia Hosp, Seremban)
Liz,
Poliklinik Fitzrol & Delaila
57 Jln SS19/6 Subang Jaya
Tel: 56319007
Its ok not to go to SJMC. If u want to deliver there, she’ll trf your file there later. U just need to turn up at SJMC when its time.
_M_,
She’s that famous malay lady doctor tuu…the ultrasounds done was too brief to detect anything, i guess. Even so, another specialist told me that since the location is at the lower part of the spine, its quite easy to miss..hmm…
My gyne was Dr Zaleha from HUKM. she delivered both my babies. Was a very gentle gyne. Eventhough there’s a lot of patient, she never rushes her check ups and its normal for patients to be with her for at least 1/2 hour. The downside is, the will be a long queue to see her. I once met a patient who was referred to her by another gyne in Ampang Puteri as she deals with complicated cases as well and would prefer natural birth if she can help it.
Prices in the private wing of HUKM is comparable to SJMC, i supose. Not too expensive. About rm80-rm100 per visit. But she only sees patients 1 day in a week and takes a long queuing time at HUKM.
WOW! Sure looks like there are lot of good gynaes out there. This is so informative! Thank you for sharing! Ido see a few names keep coming up…
Does anyone have any experience with gynaes in Pusrawi Kota Damansara? I am currently shortlisting possible places to deliver, but haven’t heard much about Pusrawi.
So is no news good news?
I went to KJMC for chk ups and delivery coz its like 2 minutes away from my house. My gynea is Dr Fatima Najla, who’s really good. She explains well, answers all my silly questions, gentle when doing vaginal chks, does all the scanning patiently (esp when we did the 4D scan to see my baby’s facial features, coz my baby covered her face with her hands! haha). She also doesn’t try to push too much vitamins in your face and only prescribes the necessary. During labour n my emergency c-sect, she made decisions quickly and handled me, a 1st time mom very well.
The downside to having a popular gynea is of course, the long Q. On a workday, i could be waiting for an hour or 2 easy. I didn’t even dare to go on weekends unless absolutely necessary. During labour, she had like 2 other patients in labour including myself at about the same time. That said, she managed all 3 just fine
Haze, this KJMC is it Kelana Jaya Medical Center near the Kelana Putri apartments?
June: Yep, that one. Fronting LDP.
Haze, y did u have c-sec? becos i heard that this gynae likes to ask ppl to have c-sec. how’s the consultation fee for normal check ups and ur delivery total cost?
thanks
You’re living in shah alam rite? try Pusat Bersalin UMRA (dr. Niraj or if your wife prefer female dr, try dr. Ummul)
18, Jalan Bola Tampar 13/14 Sek 13 Shah Alam.
The cost is reasonable around 100(consultation fee, ultrasound scan + pic printout & vitamin/supplement).
cheers
Dr. Ummul has been my gynae ever since she was based in Salam MC. Now that she has her own private clinic – UMRA (with her husband gynae – Dr. Rafi), I find that she is a bit too busy and always in a rush. So waiting can be kind of a bore, esp. for husbands. Nonetheless, she and her husband make a really good and honest pair. The clinic is cheaper compared to Salam too. I’ve had both my kids with them and I am definitely a contented mummy.
June, I had emergency c-sect because my baby’s umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck. I did try to have a vaginal delivery, but after 6 hours of induced, intense contractions, i only dilated 3cm! Based on the machine they use to monitor contractions, i should’ve dilated at least 6cm. Dr Fatima was concerned so she checked and discovered that my baby’s head was starting to swell, so she ordered an emergency c-sect based on that, not by asking me to have one. She was worried that the baby might suffocate, or even worse, start pooping in the womb coz I was already 1 week overdue. She only discovered abt the umbilical cord when she tried to take my baby out.
I wouldn’t know if my gynae is the type to recommend c-sect, but with me, she encouraged normal delivery, as much as possible. While i was in the labour room, she had another patient who was also in labour next door, and she managed to give birth normally despite the fact that the baby’s umbilical cord was wrapped arnd the baby’s neck. I guess it all depends on the baby’s position and perhaps the length of the umbilical cord coz my hubby said that our baby’s was rather short.. Dunno lah kan.. hehe.
I’m not trying to vouch for my gynae, just stating my experience. And so far, I have 5 other friends who are Dr Fatima’s patients, and most of them delivered normally. I guess it all depends on the mother.. diff women will hv diff experience.. What’s important is the baby is delivered healthy and safely.
Hi, anybody knows the detailed breakdowns for Dr Tang Boon Nee’s consultation and delivery charges at SJMC?
Hi, I am having my baby checked up in Pantai Medical Center. Would Mum_of_3 please tell me the name of the “Famous Gyne” in Pantai as I am seeing a Malay doctor there. This is my first baby so I would not want any complications to be safe.Thanks
Nurul, I would recommend Gombak Medical Centre, its at Taman Sri Gombak. You take the mrr2 menghala ke Kepong. It’s near the intersection to go to Taman Industri Bolton. But you have to call to book for appointment first cause the doc is quite busy
Hi Haze.. How much is the cost for c-sect in KJMC and normally how much is the cost for check up?
I plan to deliver in KJMC as well and now thinking of the budget.
Hi Faza,
Well, for me i had to pay for both, c-sect and induced labour coz i did try vaginal delivery first. So our final bill was about RM6k. If i’m not mistaken, c-sect alone would be around 3-4k. My total bill was abit more expensive as i stayed an extra day and we took a slightly more expensive room.
Normal delivery would be around RM1-3k, depending on your needs (ie. epidural, induce, etc). Chk up will depend on which doctor. Dr Fatima’s consultancy is about RM50 (if im not mistaken). Of course the scanning and all will be at a different charge.
All in all, i think KJMC’s rates are still ok for a private hospital. It’s not as expensive like Damansara Specialist Ctr or SJMC, thats for sure. Furthermore my gynae came highly recommended and KJMC is just 2 minutes away from my house.. haha.
Hope this helps, Faza! If you decide to deliver at KJMC, do remember to inform the nurses that you wish to breastfeed your baby. Otherwise they would happily pop a bottle in ur baby’s mouth for his/her feedings. I had to request to breastfeed my baby EVERY time becoz i didnt let them know beforehand.
To all mom, the best and resoanble place to be is UMRA SPECIALIST CENTRE in shah alam. the dr’s are too good. The charges are too resonable and affordable. I have delivered my first baby there. Doctors do not go for C-section unless its for safety of the baby and mother. Their they perform mostly normal deliveries. Doctors Name -Ummul Wahiya. Its the best place to be during such period of your life.
asifa how much are U taking about? since U say they are tooo good. Hope priace is also too good.
dear Faza,
i do agreed with Haze becoz me also one of Dr. Fatima Najla’s patient. Her comment is absolutely same with me. Dr. Fatima wouldn’t simply do c-sect. She really encourage her patient to go for normal delivery. Like my case, I don’t have much energy to push my baby. I had to push quickly because my baby already poopoo inside the womb.My baby almost lemas.While struggling pushing the baby Dr. Fatima gave me a motivation and pull up my confidence that I can push harder and had normal delivery.In fact, the nurses are very kind and helpful. My billing was about RM2250. Two bedded rooms,one nite stay and induce.
For c-set, the cost will be around Rm4-6k.It is depend on your condition. So I guess if you are paying by yourself, just put a budget of RM5k.
Hi All,
I’m a mother of 2 lovely daughters.
My gynae is Dr. Tan Boon Khim of Selangor Medical Centre. I was recommended by the nurses there and found out that he was very good and took the time to answers my questions.
Before we decide to take him as our gynae, we went to Darul Ehsan Medical Centre but knowing that place is usually full (my SIL had to wait in the labour room after delivery in the morning up to evening as there was no bed available) we decided with SMC. Furthermore the hospital is near to my place and have adequate equipment in case of emergencies. Their Paediatricians are also good.
I like Dr Tang but like i said, female docs seem to instill more trust, not necessarily cos of skill(during delivery).
I choose male doc cos I cannot stand waiting 2 hr, and I always go on a weekday. Dr Fan has 4D machine and last time I heard, Dr Tang don’t have. Both can be found at Taman Desa Med Cent.
A fren delivered normally at SJMC at RM2k+ under Dr Siti. Is SJMC as expensive as it is reputed to be?
I think Damansara specialist cent is unethical; the overcharging don’t just apply to child deliveries.
Can anyone confirm where is Dr Paul Tay?
thanks shiela, for the info.how much do they charge, for normal and c-sect delivery?any doctor’s name in particular?tq again..
nurul, i dont agree with sheila.i have had xperience with Dr Nor Fidak@Gombak Medical Centre. She’s so good and very gentle….but unfortunately gombak medical dont’t have enough equipment for delivery.even their nurses also not well trained. gombak medical Nurul, just imagine when i really sakit nak bersalin…the doctor asked for shaver…the nurse dont no apa tu shaver…tension gila i…dahla terjerit sakit..then suddenly tilam kat hujung katil tercabut…..pas tu bilik takde air panas….it was my bad experience being there…and for yr info, theres only a few cases yang having c section.most probably they dont have much equipment..and then my baby kena kuning…still takde equipment..then kena refer kat gh…for me the things u should consider,the hospital should have;
1) ICU
2) Labor room
3) Paeditrician
sayangnya Gombak medical dont have all that..but u still have to pay around rm2k for normal delivery….
Recently I delivered my 2nd baby at Tawakkal Hospital with Dr Jaafar..He is so generous.It cost me around RM2k for normal delivery and RM60 regular check up.
NO MORE GOMBAK MEDICAL!!!!!!!!!!
Dr. Paul Tay is at Prince Court Medical Centre and Assunta. PCMC provides 4D scans, and the hospital is much nicer compared to Assunta!
Every doctor says different things. I went to 6 gynaes up till now. Depending on how you see them, its all subjective. However, about hospitals, most are out to make money anyhow. Damansara Specialist for one. I had a miscarriage and went into emergency and they did nothing to try to save the baby. Charges are ridiculous too. On doctors, I like Dr. Raman. I think hes professional and caring. His experience in handling pregnancies is remarkable.
What kind of Gombak Medical Cent is that? May as well deliver at home.
Normal delivery at Taman Desa Med Cent shoudl be RM2-3k, but I don’t think this includes Epidural.
Dr. Fan’s(TDMC) consultation charges vary from RM40 to over RM60. Seems that if you ask more questions, the consultation is RM60 and above. My highest so far is RM75. Is this the normal practice?
Consultation fee = consultation + standard ultrasound. Not include supplements (folic+calcium) & admin fee (RM5).
Is it cheaper to get calcium lactate & folic acids in pharmacies?
My doc give me 300mg calcium, yours? I thought Dr. Tang give 500/600mg.
Folic is quite standard la; 5mg.
baby mel,
i was with the late Dr. Jeremy Chuah. I missed him so much. Is Dr. Patrick Chia is as good as him? Please advise.
Haze,
Im currently seeing dr fatima as well and was interested when i read ur comment abt the 4D scan. i didnt know that the dr has a 4D scan cos she did all the scanning using 2D. do we have to ask for a 4D scan then or will she be using it at a later stage of pregancy? im currently in my 29 weeks . Thanks
Hi Kin,
Im a patient of dr fatima & did my 3d & 4d scans with her. This 3d/4d scans are optional. Her charges (RM150) i reckon are cheap compared to the rest. I had a fren who did at SJMC & it costs her RM500 & D’sara Fertility’s min price is RM250. What u need to do is to call her clinic & fix an appointment. They allocate certain time for this kind of scan; mine was done during weekday lunch hour. I cant recall when its the best time to do it but I did mine when i was in week 26. Since u r 29 weeks, u better give her clinic a call n enquire coz after certain weeks, the baby would be a big too big n has less space n it would be hard to capture the images & hard to manipulate the baby’s position. If u r interested, u can have a look at my baby’s images & video done by dr fatima. Have fun with the scan:)
I heard the name of Dr Phia from UMRA Specialist Hospital in Shah Alam.
She’s new there but my friend told me that she is very GOOD docotr in terms of giving him advice & she’s really sincere to attend a patient!….
Recently, she’s from Hosp Kuala Lumpur.
I really proud of her…. May Allah bless you, doctor….
Good job, Dr Phia…
Hi there
I was just wondering, when will be the best time to visit the doctor for the first time checkup?
First time check up to confirm a pregnancy??? Or first time check up with gynae for general health??
For pregnancy, you can go as soon as you test positive at home, normally around 4 or 5 weeks after first day of last period. This is to rule out ectopic pregnancy. You can listen to the heartbeat during the 6th week.
Yea its first time check up to confirm pregnancy.
What actually is to expect during the first check up?
Congrats!
Gynae would basically just confirm the pregnancy by doing a vaginal scan. If your visit is during the 6th week, then you can hear the heartbeat.
Gynae would also prescribe folic acid for you if you are not taking it already.
It is basically for you to see whether you are comfortable with the gynae and for you to ask any questions regarding pregnancy. It is so important that you like your gynae!
Thanks!!!!
Just having the thought of visiting the gynae is making me all squirmish.
hi….
having my first baby…
just went to a normal GP clinic to confirm on the pregnancy…
going to choose DEMC as it is very near to my home…
anyone can comment which doc is the best there…
i would prefer female… hihihiiii..
( normal laaa… my first time… )
any advice??
i went to dr delaila’s private clinic the other day.. long wait but definitely worth it! she did a very detailed scan on me, explaining every single thing about the baby.. i feel so relieve to know that the baby is doing ok! the detailed scan + cd + scan photo cost RM200, calcium supplements + consultation altogether is RM310. quite expensive but worth every penny! she’s really friendly and makes the whole checkup fun and comforting.. and yes, she’ll transfer ur files to sjmc for delivery.
opps, wrong info up there..
detailed scan + cd + scan photo & report + calcium supplements + consultation = RM310
a friend of mine lost her handphone and belongings while delivering in demc.. it’s too quiet there and no security.. be careful!
sad to hear that…
how about the docs?
are they ok?
hi everyone,
i like to ask if any of you could suggest a good gynae for fertility problem, i’ve seen quite a few gynae but still doesn’t work, we’ve been trying for almost 8 years
Hi Sweet_12,
Perhaps you can try Dr. Paul Tay from Prince Court Medical Centre/Assunta. He is a fertility speacialist. Good Luck!
i’m not quite sure about the doctors in demc.. according to her, during her 1st pregnancy, she was on epidural and didn’t feel a thing. her baby’s head was already out but the nurse kinda pushed it back in bcoz they were not ready for it yet. the baby stucked there for a while. at last, she had to deliver her baby via c-section. scary huh?
Hi. Has anyone heard of Dr Gunasegaran P T Rajan from Damansara Specialist Hospital? Any comments? Thanks!
Interesting article. I found some more information here
Great article. I found some more information here
Hi, I am the first time mother, has anyone heard any good gynae as my family house is in Jalan Cheras 4th Mile, Cheras area ? I am staying in Overseas but i am thinking come back to KL to give birth, so i need information about good gynecologist, whether the hospital provide NICU and how much they charge. thanks in advance
Felicia
Hi all..
Just found out I’m 6 wks pregnant & am doing research for a doc. Since I live at OUG (off Old Klang Road), I’ve decided to look at Assunta & Tmn Desa Medical Centre.
Based on online research, found tht every1 speaks of Dr Tang Boon Nee, Dr Loo (of TDMC) & Dr Liew Fah Onn of Assunta.
Any mothers out there who have experience with these doctors?…Any advice on costs/how the doc’s are and also how is the general state at TDMC & Assunta?
Any words of wisdom will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!
Dear all,
Has anyone heard of, or has been under the care of Dr. Chew Weng Yew of Pantai Medical Center(Bangsar)?
Is he good and how expensive is his delivery charges?
Thanks!
dear mom-to-be,
dr guna in dsh is ok.if u’re comfortable with a male doctor,he is good.i have been with dr maziah at dsh for 8 years already,delivered all 3 with her.dont always agree with the price,sometimes too ridiculous..but i have no choice coz it is the nearest to my house and very convenient.any suggestion for a good female gynae around damansara/kota damansara?planning for my 4th one;)
charges by dr guna is also reasonable.u shud try.
TDMC is quite good, except for the cafeteria. The cook has no semangat to cook, u can see in the food.
dear baby mel / Mom_of_3;
can you recommend gynae (male) from pantai medical centre bangsar? is Dr. Patrick Chia, ok? my 1st bb was with the late Dr. Jeremy Chuah. am planning for 2nd bb soon…..thanks.
is anyone heard of Dr. Saw Siong Hian of Sunway Medical Center & Tawakal Hospital ?
Hi,
I ve been married for 1 yr+..but we r not planning anything.But until now,still no sign of me to get pregnant..huhu..can anyone suggest any gynea for me to chck?im staying in puchong.i wan to hv baby also..
Found that Dato Dr.Siva Mohan in Damansara Specialist Ctr is good.
how bout Dr.Ng of QHC Medical Centre Taipan USJ? any feedback? is he good?
Has anyone been to FGMC before, how is their doctors and charges like? i stayed at Menjalara, is there any good gynae to recommend?
i delivered 2 times with dr ummul, first during her stay at salam, the second one at her clinic. she is good and gentle and caring, but i guess due to soo many patients, she can be quite kelamkabut at times. i reckon most of the patients wanted to see her,as unlike her, dr rafi is less ‘occupied’ dr niraj also not have many patient. im not sure wehther he is stil there
i’ve seen other gynae there, maybe that’s dr phia, who is as gentle. she was more concerned than myself when i was already 4cm dilated during my monthly checkup! dr rafi was quite ‘blunt’ – he’s doing his job i guess.
the charged were reasonable, the labor room, ward are comfy enough, the satff are frenly, but warn you they had many interns so i was quite skeptical when the young girls poked my arm to inject me hehe
been to SMC (by choice, not recommended) when i was threatened to deliver early since umra does not have full facilities for preemie. seen dr tan boon kim because i tot will be better since he has fewer patients compared to the other lady doctors -dr siti (ye ke? not sure her name) and the other dr tan. but have bad experience at smc and dr tan himself. he was good and caring but somehow he tends to make me waited for him for no valid reason. he once melepak at the canteen!! and smc gave me bullshit excuse to cover for him!
Nina:
Same case as me can’t get pregnant after 1 year ++ trying and i already marriage for 3 years.Recently i found some abnormal pain during period time.That’s the reason i went for the ultrasound on abdomen and pelvis.Unfortunately found a fibroid,and doctor said it might be a cause that i can’t get pregnant.I highly recommended you Dr.Guna or Dato Dr.Siva Mohan in Damansara Specialist Ctr are good.They will explain to you more details.Meanwhile what i know in Sri Petaling also got one.Price properly around RM150-RM200 for checking
my fren, who had miscarriage at early marriage and had problem to conceive later, went to LPPKN for fertility treatment. she was attended by Dr ismail thamby himself and only costs her few hundreds. took 2 trials and she is now mother to a pair of twin.
I delivered 2 babies with Dr Prashant @ Pantai Medical Bangsar. He really good, caring, and most important, he’s very patient to explain all first-time mummy querries. Strongly recommended
hi Jeanne, do you think you can ask your friend for the exact contact of LPPKN?
i was told Dr Jeanne Woo from Gleneagles is also very good for infertility.
Hi Lisa,
Dr. Ng of QHC Medical Ctr is good, however its gonna be a long wait if you arrive at the wrong timing. Other options either you want to follow up with Dr. Datuk Subra or Dr. Subra. Both are very nice and they didi explain with detail.
My gynea is Dr. Subra. For every consultation + scan = rm50 . if got medication, only add around rm10 .. if you take their delivery package, every consulation n scan are free except for:
1st trimester scan = rm120
blood test to detect down syndrome = rm150
3D scan = rm150
ok lor the price…for me la.
Can anyone recommend a good gynae in Pantai Bangsar? Sunway and SJMC would be my 2nd choice. I urgently need to look for a good gynae now
I went to see Dr. Dev Menon from Damansara Fertility Centre (now moved to Tropicana Medical Centre). 2 of my friends and I had difficulties in getting pregnant and went there for treatment. I was trying for 2 years. Found out that I had a growth and did laparoscopy to diagnose other problems and remove it. Pregnant after 1 month and my other 2 friends got pregnant within 3 months. Worth trying out there. In terms of pricing, they can be a bit steep but it is all worth it. Another friend is seeing Dr Pak for fertility treatment, and she is too lucky to conceive within 3 months. Good luck!
Anybody know if Dr Dev Menon is good at delivery apart from fertility?
Hi! I am soo exited that i just got the news im 5 weeks pregnant..Im opt for HUKM, since they have the private wing.. Can anyone who have gone through their delivery there share their experiance with me..How much does it cost for the whole package? Any recommended doctors..since most of them are profs..Im not so comfortable to have students wondering around while doing my check-up..are they still allowing them to do that? Do they allow hubby to join in the labour room? Thanks
Mothers,
any feedback about Tawakal hospital??? Since i go for check up there, i want to know about the situation and the cost in there..
I am seeing Dr Foong in Tawakal for my first baby now. He is very experienced thus is quite old.
I went to FMGC to see Dr Patrick Chia before this CNY for CVS test. There are a lot of patients in FMGC and I waited for 2 hours to see Dr Patrick. He is a patient and young doctor compare to Dr Foong. But the charges is very high, the CVS test itself took us RM 1850.
Wow! everyone seems to know all the gyane out there. I’ve been married for 4 yrs, miscarried in Yr 3, Had IUI in Yr 4. Still not pregnant. Dr. Idris in PMC is very gentle and nice, Dr. Maziah of DMSC is also gentle, descriptive and nice but kinda pricy. Appreciate if someone can explain more on LPKN! Am so interested. (Kinda pressured, my sis got married last yr and is due to deliver any time soon!)
Hi i am under the care of Dr.Chew Weng Yew. He is gentle and after my c-section i did not feel any pain n the day i was discharged i could actually went up the stairs without feeling any pain.I was induced and had an emergency c section.My total bill was RM8400.(four-bedded room)
Hi, i went through treatments in LPPKN and also TCM. I delivered my boy after five years of marriage.I did once iui in private hospital n twice in LPPKN under Dr.Hamizah however i conceive naturally after three times of failure. The nurses n docs are kind n dedicated. The cost over there is affordable.IUI will be about RM600. However, i was bleesed since my hubby is gov servant n it is fully paid by gov.Don’t worrry u juz give them a call at ur first day of period.Or u could also try DR.Kamal Kuek
Linda, Dr.Kamal Kuek is a TCM. u can visit his clinic at 8, Jln Arasakesari, Taman Taynton View, Cheras. Monday TO Thursday.He actually unblocked one side of my tube.Never stop trying.All The best.
anyone have info about Pusrawi Hospital in Kota Damansara? i heard its cheap and good also.really want to know the price and accomodation if i deliver there.(for normal & ceaser)
i live in puchong..;)
Hi…. i also wanna know bout Hospital Pusrawi Kota Damansara….
anyone? Please….
OMG Juwita,
thank GOD i read this thread!!
I was considering to deliver in SGMC since I’m living in Sri Gombak Phase 9.
Reading about it only creeps the hell out of me..hahhaha
What kind of medical center like that and they still charging u 2k for normal delivery????
There Pusat Perubatan Naluri in Wangsa Maju. The 3D or normal antenatal checkup will cost around RM97 only.
The delivery charges for normal uncomplicated delivery will be RM 1300 for open ward but if want privacy can take single room RM1800. They even have package for 2D 1N for normal deliver RM1200.
So far the gyneo is OK, for me worth the money but waiting to see the gynea could be awhile laa
Any comments or suggestions on tropicana medical centre?
Lee-N
I’ve been seeing Dr Kamal for abt 6 weeks. When you mentioned that he helped to unblock your tubes, may I know how did it happen? Did you go for a HSG after that? Thanks
tropicana medical centre seems to be the latest hosp in kota damansara….. nearest to my house…
however, i need to know the gynae there….
anyone knows anything bout gynae there?
TQ
i gave birth to my daughter back in 2002 in Sunway Medical Centre, my gyane was Dr Nor Aini (A female doctor), I wanted a female doctor and there were not many in Malaysia. She’s very good though she was a bit moody at times, she’s very knowledgeable and experience, it was a good choice. I still go to her when I need to do my pap-smear. I remember I delivered my daughter via C-section in 2002, my cervix didn’t open even i went on drip, it was an emergency C-section, my daughter was heavy, she was 4.04kg. i had to stay at the hospital for 5days as i didn’t manage to pass wind, they didn’t discharge me bcos of that. the bill in total was RM6K+ but this was back in 2002 and i didn’t have complications except the emergency C-section and my daughter has mild jaundice but we insisted her to be discharged together with me as i was worried for the high medical bill, we let our daughter get the natural sunlight before 10am, she recovered within like 1/2days. choosing an experience gynae is very important, i heard jason from sunway is good too, his clinics will be very packed most of the times…
I like Dr Jeanne Woo. Unfortunately she is based in Gleneagles Intan, Jalan Ampang and I stay in PJ. I went to see her when I was 3 months pregnant till the 5th month. But, was worried about the distance. Then I switch to Dr Jason Lim from Sunway Med centre. I was a staff at this hospital. The reason I didn’t go to him in the first place was because I was looking for a female gynae. But, most of the Sunway staffs and my frens go to see him. He is a no nonsense kind of guy. He’ll let you know what u really need to know. It was fine with me because I thought that it is more important that he is cool and capable in time of emergency. Anyway, Dr Jeanne has addressed most of my concerns.
I actually visited a total of 4 gynaes up to now. I was most uncomfortable with my first gynae. She insisted to do pelvic ultrasound up to week 14. She refused to do a normal ultrasound even when I am 9 weeks pregnant (I was very angry cos she didn’t even try the abdominal ultrasound but forced me to do the pelvic one). So, I guess the most important thing for a pregnant woman is that you find the gynae that suits you most and don’t be afraid to try new gynaes if you are not satisfied with the one u r visiting.
I agree with Cheryl. A good gynae is a gynae you are most comfortable with and he/she is able to put you at ease.
Mother and doctor needs to have good chemistry. Giving birth is a highly emotional experience (more so) if it is a vaginal birth. You really need to get along with the gynae!
I have an infertiltiy problem. And I heard that Dr Kamal Kuek is good. Any one have the contact no>???
Hi michelle
You don’t need to make an appt. He has 2 clinics: -
Clinic 1 – 8 Jln arakesari at Tmn Taynton View, Cheras
Mon-Thur: 10am to 4pm, 7pm to 9pm
Clinic 2 – 77a, Jln Dato Haji Harun at Tmn Taynton View, Cheras
Sunday: 10am to 2pm
Try to go early as the lines are long everyday. I was hoping to hear fr Lee-N but I guess she’s no longer in this blog
any suggestions on good gynae at tropicana medical centre?
sorry mama2009 I have no idea about Tropicana Medicalk centre. Is it open already? ya must find out the list of gynaes there & maybe other moms can give input
Tropicana Medical Centre, you can look for Dato Dr Colin Lee – he is the sifu but a bit expensive and a lot of patients. Alternative, my colleagues look for Dr. Menon.
Hi, thanks Julie. Is any one know that Dr Kamal Kuek good in treating infertility problem??
You’re welcome, Michelle. I’m not sure how ‘good’ he is but we heard he managed to help a friend’s friend – so that’s why we’re trying him out. I’ve met some other patients – some were successful and some are still trying under his treatment. But you have to be patient – because it takes time to work. I know some of them have been going to him for more than a year. I guess it depends on the severity of your problem.
Oh, thanks again Julie. I just visited there twice. And I told him what did my another gynae suggest me about the IUI or IVF. He seems not really encourage to do such treatment, coz it also will bring side effect. So now, I consuming his chinese medicine and go for checkup every week.
By the way, are u also facing infertiltiy problem??
Yes, obviously
I have PCOS and one blocked tube. Have been trying to concieve for more than 2 years…
How about yourself? What days do you see the Dr?
I have pelvic adhesion and done a lapa surgery a year ago. And been trying to conceive now since after the surgery. Have you done the HSG? My gynae advice me to do it, but i was worried about.
How long u see Dr Kamal ? I just went ther twice, is one week once check up.
Yes, I did the HSG last yr. Have been seeing Dr. K for almost 3 mths. First 2 mths was seeing once a week for follow-up, scan and meds. Since 3 weeks ago, am going twice a week for follow-up, scans, meds and acupuncture.
Why did you have to do the lapa?
I done the lapa because I have a serious pelvic adhesion, which surrounding over the ovary area. I cant get conceive is because of the adhesion blockage . . But now already remove the adhesion, still not yet conceive after a year. Y doctor K do the acupuncture for you?? For what purpose?
Hi, Julie , u can add me in msn, michelle_elle99@kl.com
Hi Michelle. He hopes the acupuncture will help my monthly cramps which he thinks is connected to my problem. I’m not sure whether it will help the blocked tube. But I think the meds have helped my PCOS. Sorry I don’t have MSN Messenger at the office and I don’t use the internet at home. Maybe we could just email each other? Could you do that office hours?
yes, u can email me, michelle_pfwong@yahoo.my
michelle_pfwong@yahoo.com.my
Julie, i started treatment 4 a month b4 i went for HSG and then only i found out that my tubes are blocked. i continue treatments acupuncture and herbs a 4 2 months then went 4 laproscopy and it turned out that my right tube has been unblocked. then i continue with iui for two times and it was not successful but i conceived the following month naturally. my boy is 18 months old now. and the good news is i m expecting my 2nd baby now naturally too.don’t give up he is good
lee-n, is it u get your tube unblocked under dr.K medications?
Lee-N, u are very lucky. My tubes also blocked, till now havent got the solutions. I went to a few doctors, most of them suggest me to do IVF. But, I hope I can be like you, can get conceive naturally.
hi, my advise is please don’t go to dato’ dr. sivamohan for fertility treatment. yes he is a very good and gentle doctor but he is not an expert in fertility. you can go see him for pregnancy and delivery cases but NOT fertility as i have experienced myself. any fertility problems better go straight to fertility clinics like damansara fertility, hukm etc.
Hi Lee-N, thanks so much for the info. I’m still seeing Dr.K and hoping for the best… am getting a bit fed up of the meds but will hang on for a bit…
Michelle, how are you doing?
hi, Julie. I done the HSG, and my tube were blocked. NOw started the therapy, tui-na and acupuncture. Hopefully it will work. Dun give up…good luck!!
Oh no… Yeah, hopefully Dr.K can’t help us both. Good luck to you too, Michelle.
Hi,Julie , I thought u will email to me. Anyway, hope v can keep in touch.
Anyone looking for partime job? Candidate must understand mandarin n likes sharing great bargain with friends n wants to get extra income. If u fulfill the above mentioned criteria, pls cal 0177782006
Hi Michelle. Sorry about that. Have been very busy lately… Yes, I do hope we’ll keep in touch. I’ll drop an email soon.
hi anne, are u really sure that the dato dr. sivamohan (dsh) good in pregnancy n delivery? do u have any delivery experience with him? since he is my doc now.. do anyone have any experience with him?
hi anne, i would like to talk to you in regards to the fetility treatment. anyway that i can call you. my phone number is 012-3488723
Hello, does anyone know good gynae in sungai long or kajang area? Can recommend?
Hi MY,
Sorry, I am not familiar with that area, if you live in Sunway or Subang Jaya, I would recommend Dr Noraini/Sunway Hospital, she is a very experience gynae. You may try to check in the search engine and do some research.
hi,
Am pregnant for 3 months now and i ve visit Dr. Damo for my 3 rd times. This is my 1st pregnancy. Recently i ve stain (brown) -and i admitted for 2 days for checked up and observation and i dont know wat is d actual caused? does anyone knows about Dr Damo in klang? Or any other good doctor recommend – important facilities fully equip and cleanliness . I thought of getting 2 nd opinion.
I was referred by Dr Loo of Taman Desa Medical Centre to see Dr Patrick Chia (FMGC) at my 22 weeks. I had some complications with my second pregnancy.
To me, he is really good. He did a detailed scan on my fetous and he explained what was going on with my pregnancy.
He is a bit expensive. The consultation and the scan cost me RM 300.
I am thinking of going to him for my next pregnancy, but I did some search that he is now attached to Pantai Bangsar only? He used to be Sunway Medical before he moved his clinic. Plus I read (from other blogs) that he does only c-section. If normal, he will pass it to his colleague Dr. Yap to handle.
I was wondering anyone’s baby delivered by Dr Patrick Chia recently?
Thanks!
Anyone know any good gynae in Hospital KPJ Ampang Putri??
Julie Yong: hi there. Dr Patrick Chia is specialising in the screening and management of fetal abnormalities and high risk pregnancy care. He is always referral by others gynae doctor if the gynae has diagnose that your pregnancy is in high risk group. Dr. Patrick Chia is also one of the advisor for the Medical Advisory Board of http://www.babycenter.com.my, a very useful and friendly website for pregnancy.
The 1st consultation is always RM300. For the subsequence, it will only cost RM80-90, if you take supplement, will be around RM140-160.00. I think this price is quite reasonable to get him as your gynae as he is very experience and furthermore he is specialist in high risk pregnancy. For normal gynae check up, it is also almost RM60-80 per visit already, right?
You can ask him whether he will do the normal delivery for you or not, as he is only do normal delivery on request.
Hi Julie, my baby was delivered by Dr. Patrick on January 09 via C-Sec because my cervix was unable to dilate even after induced. So, we have no choice but to go for last minute C-Sec. Dr. Patrick is supportive of normal delivery which was my first choice. Anyway, I am very happy with Dr. Patrick because he really is a very good gynae. Very professional and patient. He will take his time to answer any question unlike some gynae that will rush you through your consultation time. I would strongly recommend any pregnant mother, especially those with complication to see him. Btw, it was my friend whom recommend me Dr. Patrick and she also give him a THUMBS UP!
Hi Princess,
Can i know how much it cost you for the C-Sec by Dr Patrick? i mean the overall hospital bill? Guess it around 8k? I’m currently seeing Dr Patrick as well and i agreed what you said about him because he really very humble and patience and take time to explain.
Hi been married for almost 5 years, I had fibroid and operated at HUKM – specialist under Dr Tan AE… can anyone advise any good and reasonable infertility doctor in Puchong
Hi Rachel,
My hopsital bill (Pantai Bangsar) cost me nearly RM10k, which is about.. RM9900++.. my husband jokes abt it.. saying.. at least it’s still below RM10K! Anyway, it was very expensive.. because I choose to go through normal delivery but end up with a emergency C-Sec. Did went through induced and took epidural. It was a Saturday and I’m not sure if this add up to the cost too. Stayed there for 5D4N. I think Dr.Patrick charge me around RM3k plus.. for doctor’s fees. The rest is hospital fees. I need to go home and check the bill again. Oh btw, my sister in law saw Dr.Raman and delivered in Pantai Bangsar too. It was a C – Sec. Her bill came up to abt RM10k too.
May I know when is your due date? Also, Dr. Patrick’s clinic has moved to Jaya One right? How’s the new clinic? I’m kind of miss him because he really took good care of me especially when I was in the hospital. Let me tell you part of the story. The second day after I delivered, I felt pain on my bladder when I pass urine. I thought it’s urine infection because I’m very prone to having urine infection. It was around 6 am! Gehh… my husband call Dr.Patrick and he answered! He told me to take a urine test and wait for him to come. He turn up around 7 plus in the morning.. and guess what’s the urine test result! It’s FALSE ALARM! Gosh.. i felt really embrassed and the reasons I felt the pain was because of the catherer (which I found out some time later).
He assured me that i’m fine and we apologize for troubling him. He said it’s fine and told us he was in the hospital to attend a case around 3am plus that day and when my husband call, he was just back to the bed. Hehe… felt bad about it! He is really kind. Cross my heart. When my bb developed jaundice the next few days, he drop by to see and talked to us. How kind and caring. So girls! Anyone up for a good gynea! He is definitely THE ONE!
Hi Princess,
, which room you stay? the single room or deluxe (with additional bed for your husband)? since u ended up with emergency c-sec then i think it will charge you for the labour ward 1st then again the operation room right, ?
yes, the FMGC clinic has moved to Jaya One. New clinic is of course larger than the old one, got waiting area with few rows of chairs and with TV, more comfortable coz not like the TTDI space limited and have to wait outside when clinic is pack and crowded no more sitting place.
oh, 5D4N also below 10k only, then should be reasonable
Ya.. i read some article that catherer will cause temporary pain when pass urine. haha, did Dr Patrick charge you for the “extra” visit?
My EDD is on mid of Oct, but just went for check up last week found that now baby head still not engage (now 37weeks++), thus we planned for c-sec. Eventhough at 1st we really aim for natural birth but it seems like the condition (pelvis narrow) that i have not allowed me to do so. Instead of labour half way causing complication then emergency c-sec, Dr has advised us for c-sec. What to do? We have faith on him and of course will took his advise and we believe that’s will be the best opt for both my baby and myself.
Also wanna ask you any good recommendation for Stretch mark lotion? :p
Hi Rachel,
Wow, you responded so fast!
I stayed in the deluxe room for one night coz there is no single room availabe that day. The next day only I moved into the single room. Btw, you can book earlier for single room. That’s what my husband found out later. Apparently we didn’t add in any bed for my husband. Kakaka.. He just borrow a lazy chair with a leg rest to sleep on. (those foldable one from the nurse) Poor him…
You are right abt those charges. If it’s an emergency C-Sec, it will cost more. I think plan ceasar will come out about RM8k. Actually when I look back, Dr.Patrick’s fees is not expensive. It was the hospital charges that is killing.. Well, abt the “extra” visit, Dr. Patrick is kind enough not to charge anything.. Heheheh.. I told you, he is really one of those rare doctors.
Btw, you can choose your own anesthetician from the list available in Pantai. Mine is Dr. .. I can’t remember his name. Let you know later. Need to check with my husband. You can ask Dr. Patrick to recommed too. Not only that.. the paedatrician too! Btw, don’t take Dr.Eric Lee as your pead. He runs 3 places and super busy. Always cancel appointment. We got fed up with him!
Talking abt strech marks creams.. it’s your 37 weeks already girl! But again, it’s never too late! There are 2 that is very good. One is Locittane Almond Oil another is Clarins Huile Oil. Both cost abt RM170. Get it online as it’s cheaper. Check out this 2 website. You can get abt 30% off (from Retail price) all make up and skincare. It’s http://www.acmamall.com and http://www.strawberrynet.com Acmamall is Msia base, strawberry is HK base. Both reliable. Bought from both before. I tried Bio-Oil, Palmers Coco Butter, Cosway Hip Rose oil. Still find the above two is the best. The Loccitane one is oiler than the clarins one. So if you had a really dry skin, use the loccitane one.
Is this your first child? 37 Weeks.. Anytime will be showtime! hahaha.. so be prepared. Get all your bag pack! I delivered on 37 weeks too! Btw, if you want your BB to wear the clothes n diapers you bought. Just pack a separate bag and give to the nurse later and told them to use all the things you brought in the bag.
Get your husband ready with a CAMCODER! Pantai Bangsar allow husband to go in the ops theatre. My hubby managed to film part of the delivery process. Gosh, luckily he did not faint. Dr. Patrick did ask my hubby to go nearer to see but he choose to stay by my side. Hehehe..
Rachel,

Princess,
Thanks for the info of the stretch mark… huhuhuh… i know that it wont go away but at least find something effective to make it less visible. Tried a few brands but not really work for me.
Dr Patrick did recommend Paedi and Anesthetician too, also already stated in the admission letter.
Yup, 1st baby. Hubby will bring camera. He still dunno whether he can cope or not… hahha… hope he wont fainted too.
Now i’m really confuse….thinking of going to UMRA for my 2nd child..but… i read a few negative feedback about this clinic…and some good review…anyone can give me tips…my first baby we went to DEMC..Emergency C-SECTION 6K…3 years back..now i don’t know how much..must be high up…now if i narrow down will be SMC and SALAM…any suggestion….really need opinion..now 32 weeks already…
Rachel,
Let me share my experience in the Operation Theather. Hehe.. actually you can see what’s going on from the reflection of the spot light above you. The reflection is very clear. Kakak.. I’m scared, so i just face my husband most of the time.. but I did peep! Saw Dr.Patrick pull my baby out from my stomach! Geee… hehehe… a bit geli.. but a good experience! Will never forget that moment! Well, another not so plesant sight is the moment they clean your vagina after stiching you up! kakaka.. I’m not going to tell you now how he did it! Maybe you can ask him yourself! MUAHAHAHAH!!!!! Btw, it’s an SOP! My friend ceasar in SJMC also go through it and she also got a shock when she sees it! But don’t worry.. it aint gonna cost any pain!
Hi Rachel,
I am in a way thankful for Dr. Loo of TDMC who referred me to Dr. Patrick Chia. You see I was seeing my gynae (who delievered my daugther) and when the first gynae told me that my amniotic fluid was low, he asked me to wait for another month to do a detailed scan.
I went for a second opinion with Dr Loo and she referred me to Dr Patrcik Chia.
My pregnancy complication was confirmed as Oligohydramnios by Dr. Patrick Chia. The embarassing part is when Dr. Patrick broke the news that there are no chances of my little boy surviving, I was crying like no body’s business in his room. That happened about a month ago. The day after my consultation with Dr. Patrick Chia, my pregnancy was terminated by medical reasons. I was 22 weeks pregnant then.
As a result of the above incident, I am very worried about my next pregnancy and if can, I want to make sure I have a good gynae. I am also very traumatised by the whole thing.
I agree that Dr. Patrick Chia is good and am asking around if he does consultation for normal pregnancies.
By the way, I went to a few bookshops to look for his book on “Is My Baby Normal?” Every where is out of stock
i’m trying very hard for the past 4 yrs, still unsuccesful…. any gd gynae to be recommended ?
Hi, i’ve seen Dr Patrick for a while now. He is definitely a very careful doctor. I am a little concerned that he is not very decisive though. He can change his mind a 2-3 times in one conversation. Those who have been seeing him, can you comment? Other than that, he is a very patient and caring doctor.
Hi BB Girl,
Can you share with us on some of the incidents of Dr Patrick being not decisive? Was it some questions you asked him and he gave you different answers?
Hi Julie,
It was more of his recommendations. He could make one suggestion, then change his mind, and change again on next course of action & when to do it. Anyone have similiar experience?
if i just want to do a normal check-up, can i go to dr patrick too? anyone have his contact?
Hi Julie Yong,
Wish you get well soon. For the book, you can ask him from his clinic, i think he keep some there and you can buy from FMGC. I got the “is my pregnancy normal?” from the clinic.
Julie, advise to you is that to see Dr Patrick for your 2nd pregnancy too, since he is the one diagnosed your condition, but is he the one did the termination too?
BB Girl,
yeah… wanted to know also what kind of recommendations that you mentioned about? maybe he gave you few choices? because sometimes some decision only can make by ourself. Unless the condition like Julie, for medical reason and the safest and best solution for both mother life and bb condition.
annann,
pls see http://www.fmgc.com.my , call and make appointment. i think of course he will do normal check up. It is just that he is expert in high risk pregnancy and always being referred by other gynae. But finally you are the one to decide where to deliver and by which doctor, if all going well and normal pregnancy, just that whether you ok with changing gyane last minutes, which is not the one who always assess you to deliver your baby. If for me, definitely No-No for a doctor that never assess me.
hi all,
i am expecitng my 1st child and i am 7 weeks now. i am looking for a good gynae. i am thinking of HUKM private but not sure about the gynae. Can anyone recommend me any good gynae. I know SJMC is good as weell but been hearing rumours (or maybe its true) then it is expensive and very long queue…really need advice
hi all,
anyone heard about Doctor Chia Chee Peng? he has his own clinik located at bandar puteri? Chia & Loo women specialist?
Hi, Ruweina
I am considering HUKM for my delivery. How’s the gynae ther?? any good recommendations?
For infertility, maybe u can try to visit Dr Kamal at Cheras. He is a TCM. Quite a number of people get conceive thru his treatment or medications.
Hi Rachel,
Well, actually it wasnt choices for me. It was more like decisions on tests to be done. First he suggested to do a test in a week, then next thing, he changed it to a few times in the same week. I guess he was just thinking out loud on best thing to do, some people are like that.
I also heard there’s a very good doctor in Damansara Specialist, Dr Guna, anyone used him before & comments?
Dear all,
I’m looking for good gynae in PJ. Any good recommendations? Especially in Kelana Jaya till Damansara area.
thanks
dada
Hi..I am also looking for a good gynae in sunway or SJMC ? Any good recommendation ? Besides, what is your comment on natural delivery and C section ?
Hi Anita
You may try Dr Prashant (D’sara Heights) or Dr Mak (Kuchai Lama). Both handle fertility issues. They will start with some tests which are necessary so it might be a simple problem. However, if you’re required to do anything major, pls do get a 2nd opinion. All the best!
hi dear all,
Did anyone have done any test before plan to get pregnant?eg: thalessiamia
After married and enjoy for 5 months, think now its time for me n hubby to get prepare and pregnant.
Do we need to find gynae to do all the check up or just go pathlab?
I called and wanted book appmt with Dr.Tang BN in SJMC, but she is fully booked.So i just choose Dr.Tan Teck Sin.Anyone have experience with Dr.Tan?thanks ^^
Hi Julie
Can I have the contact or address of Dr Mak in Kuchai Lama?
My colleague recommend me one gynae in Kuchai Entreprenurs Park, but yet to get the number!

Hi,
I had 3 miscarriages in a row. The latest 2 weeks ago @ 19 weeks. Cld anyone tell me any good gynae to consult? Thanks!
Hi Mimik,
I am truly sad to read your post and I hope you are recovering well. I delivered my baby under Dr. Paul Tay and I find him very good and sensitive. Perhaps you can try him as he is a fertility speacialist, thus, have probably dealt with a lot of miscarriages cases and would be in a good position to advise you.
Just out of curiosity, at 19 weeks – is a d and c performed or do you have to go through a mini labour?
Good luck.
Hi Sonia,
Juz found out that Dr Paul Tay’s clinic is in Prince Court Medical Ctr.
At 19 weeks, I had to go thru a mini labour.
By the way, have u come across my case? Any of yr friends had experienced miscarriages?
Hi Mimik,
He is also at Assunta. The miscarriages that I hear about from my friends are normally very early miscarriages 4-5 weeks, not so advanced.
However, Dr. Tay did bring this subject up a while ago while I was deciding on the amnio test – that a mini labour was required if the couple decided to terminate the pregnancy and this info has stuck with me ever since – I thought it was very traumatic.
Anyway, whatever you went through is not easy and I cannot imagine how it must have been like for you.
HI
I HAD 6 MISCARRIAGE 3 IN 2ND MONTH AND 3 CHEMICAL PREGNANCY PLS TELL ME ANY MISCARRIAGE SPECIALIST i have seen almost all doc dr tan boon nee dr prashant dr patrick dr roopi dr shiva dr mak but nobody dioagnised my problem..
Hi n197
Have you considered trying traditional medication? It is not easy but may be worth a try…

Hi n197,
Whether the doctor did any test on your baby to find out what was the cause of death. By the way, r u still trying for one. Ever think of doing ivf with pgd? Are u in yr thirties? I also do not know who to consult. Is Dr Guna good?
Hi Sonia,
After I took the medicine (vaginal & oral), it took abt 16 hrs for the water bag to burst and 3 hrs later, the bb came out. Every 5 mins contraction for 1 hr. Very painful only on one side of the abdomen. The side effect of the medicine – diarrhoe, fever & vomitting. The medicine is to induce miscarriage. It was a very sad & painful experience for me as I was seeing others given birth and cld here the bb crying. My room was juz nx to the labour room/ward. It has been almost a mth now and sometimes i cry when i think of the poor bb of mine. Still remember she was moving actively when i went for scanning at 17 weeks.
Hopefully i can hv a healthy bb in my nx pregnancy.
Hi Rachel,
No, Dr. Patrick Chia did not do the termination for me. He gave a report and I went back to my first gynae who is attached with Pantai Cheras. I guess because Dr. Patrick Chia did not assess me. I had a mini labor too. The worst part, is when I admitted myself for the labor, the nurse asked me you want to deliver ah?
When my baby was delivered, the midwife simply say, ah your baby premature so this is consider abortion. Dr. Patrick Chia said that (and I did Internet reading) cannot determine the cause of Oligohydramnios.
Mimik,
I totally understand your feelings. I cried when the baby came.I took the oral medicine. The contraction came after 45 mins. The pain was unbearable. It was totally different from the pain when I delivered my daugther. I delivered my “2nd” baby at 5.25am and the midwife refuse to push me to my ward citing reasons that the gynae need to check me before I return. There was a mother delivering a baby next suite.
The baby started crying but my delivery suite was completely silent.
During the 4 hours wait in the suite for my gynae, not just the new born baby cries that depress me, the nurses at the station outside the delivery suite was talking about me. That I terminated the baby at 22 weeks, etc.
I still cry when I think of the whole incident.
But I must be strong for my 4 year old daugther and I pray hard that I will have a healthy pregnancy next one.
So sorry to hear about your miscarriages. It’s reassuring to know that we are not alone. My first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. Although I had another child a year later, I still remember. I guess the pain never goes away.
Cause they see it so often that it’s a really normal thing for them. On top of telling you the ‘bad’ news, they also have to endure your tears and countless questions of ‘why?’. I found that reading and talking to others who have experienced it, is the best way to heal (eventually).
In my experience, when it comes to miscarriages, most obs are not sympathetic.
My obs is Dr Choong Kuo Hsiang from PMC, Bangsar. He’s great and both my husband and i are comfortable with him.
Best of luck.
Hi Julie Yong,
Let’s pray hard together that we will have healthy normal pregnancies next one.
By the way, did the doc tell u how long shld u wait to conceive again?
Hi all,
I actually find labour nurses rather annoying, They have a habit of discussing about you among each other IN FRONT of you. Like we don’t exist at all. And they bad mouth you outside the labour room, but they are so loud, that everyone, including you, can hear their nonsense.
I hope everyone here will get healthy pregnancies in the future. I always think God gave the responsibility of childbearing to women because only we are strong enough to endure all the ups and downs of a pregnancy!
Hi Mimik,
We should wait for at least 3 months. My gynae said that it takes that long for the mommy’s body to “return” to its normal.
So I am waiting for that 3 months to try again.
Hi Sonia,
Yes, it was more like a “bitching” session for them. The bithcing session lasted 2 shifts for me. The midwife who handled me clocked off and the next one was still discussing about me. Outside, loudly.
The first widwife was classic. I knew the baby was coming already (experience from my first) and I told her. She claims that I have not dilate. When I asked her to check, she saw that I was ready, she was scrambling to prepare the surgical things.
Hi Stephanie,
That Dr Choong has a clinic opposite Pearl Point hotel (old klang road)?
no in my case i did all the test what are require and me and my hubby both normal ..but hard luck not getting good news pls refer me any good gynea who can solve my problem a recurrent miscarriage specialist….
@ julie
i have not yet tried chinese medicine but i have tried ayurvedic
they also say i m normal
@mimic
Dr.Guna is good as per my friend’s view
i have done one IUI but hyperstimulated ovaries bcz i produce ovulation normally
so think of should i go for one more session or not wht is pgd? i m 32..
Hi n197,
What is ayurvedic? Did u conceive with IUI done? Since u can conceive normally, why u still need another one? PGD (pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis) is one of the procedure in IVF. The best embryos will be selected and examined for any chromosomal abnormalities before they r put back to uterus. We can hv gender selection too. But it is very expensive la. Ard RM30,000 – RM35,000 per cycle. Only available at Tropicana Medical ctr.
Hi Stephanie,
I had miscarriage with 1 of the obs name Dr. Wong in PMC Bangsar. My ex-obs cum neighbour was late Dr. Jeremy Chua. I planning for my 2nd & I prefer to have my 2nd deliver in PMC Bangsar. Can you tell me more about Dr. Choong. My email address is yucb28@gmail.com
I would like to consult any obs before my 2nd as I had my two D&C for 1 miscarriage which happened in April. Thanks.
Any one heard of Dr Tan Chin Soon of Puchong ? Any comments, appreciate reply.
Thanks
PLs suggest me recurrent miscarriage specialist…….
@ mimick
ayurveda is indian tradition medicine.
and the treatment u said was very expensive
my genetic test is normal my hubby;s is due to some reason
but i will get pregnant only once a year so thought of giving try to iui
cant wait to have baby..
Hi n197,
Not sure where to find a good specialist. I, myself also need one. What do u mean u only get pregnant once a yr?? I know how u feel.
I’m currently seeing Dr. Fatima Najla in Kelana Jaya Medical Center – KJMC. This is my first baby and im due somtime end of december. so far everything is good. shes a very patient, kind and resourceful gynae. She keeps reminding me to watch my weight for fear of my baby being too big (my baby is currently big for her gestation age) for delivery and may cause me to have a c-sect instead. she encourages vaginal delivery and wnats the best for me for an easy delivery. anyhoo..I’ll keep u all posted on my delivery when the time comes. oh ya by theway her consultation charges are only abt rm50-70. plus pharmacy, medical procedures i.e injection normally the most expensive i hv to pay is abt rm250++. not too bad isn’t it? good luck mommies!
My partner and I have been trying for our first baby for over 4 years now and have yet to be successful. We have undergone several rounds of IVF and each time the embryo was rejected by my body. I have tried several other alternative remedies such as the miracleofpregnancy.com which was useful but did not work for us. A friend of ours whom is in a similar position has tried the Pregnancy Miracle which has worked for them on the first attempt, we are really happy for them both as they too have been trying for nearly as long as ourselves. Has anyone else ever tried this or is it just coincidence do you think?
Dr Guna delivered my two kids and he is really a good dr and very professional with you. You feel calm and confident and less scared when you deliver. Very informative and brilliant
Hi, I just migrated to KL and looking for a good Female O&G that dont cost me a bomb for each visit at RM50-60s range should be OK (right?) Am eyeing for Pantai KL, Kajang Spc or HUKM. Anyone to recommend??
Hi,
Dr Fatima Najla from Kelana Jaya Medical Center (KJMC)comes highly recommended. she charges around 50-70 for professional fees. usually together with scan. the highest fee will not even exceed rm100. Take note though this does not include pharmacy and lab costs. good luck!

hi everybody..
i am 34 weeks pregnant now.. when i was around 12 weeks pregnant, i actually went to UMRA maternity clinic in shah alam for my first scan.. d doctor there found 4 cyst next to my baby! she said that it was my fault for not doing an earlier check up before i got pregnant.. n theres nothing she can do to help! she told me that the cyst might break at any time as my baby grows bigger.. n when that happen, they would have to operate on me n ‘clean up’ the cyst n the baby too! i felt so hopeless.. lucky me, my husband then brought me to another doctor.. dr delilah from sjmc.. we went to her clinic though… she is so supportive n optimistic.. she scheduled me for a laparoscopic operation at 14 weeks to remove the cyst.. (she found only 2 cyst nway..) i fully recover in only 4 weeks time n my baby is doing great! i couldnt be more thankful to her for doing such a great.. dr delilah could be a lil bit expensive compared to other doctors but it surely worth every penny knowing that ure on a good hands.. she would make u feel safe n secure somehow.. trust me!
Hello! I’m so glad I came across to this website.. It’s really helpful.. I’m from the Philippines and my husband and I are staying here in Bangsar. I have had two miscarriages, 1st one it was a blighted ovum and then the 2nd one, I lost the baby at 12 weeks.. It was really painful.I had my miscarriages in the Philippines but now that we are staying here in Bangsar because of my husband’s work, we are eager to start trying again.. I just had my last miscarriage in December. I haven’t undergone to any test yet, would anyone here tell me where should I go for a test or any recommendation for a good obstretic? In the Philippines, we call them Perinatologist, doctors specializes in high risk pregnancies.. Thanks…
