Hi Polo,
My son was attached to her when he was born there. I do not think she is very good too. She made my son drink some special and very expensive milk powder which i bought two cans at one go, and my son does not like it at all. And in the end another PD says my son will be fine and need not take that milk. Also, she says my son got bad allergies when the other PD says it is not. But this is just my personal experience. |

i went to Dr Keoy too. My gynae had accidentally cut my newborn's head during csect and she recommended Dr Keoy as our in-hos PD. I find him unassuring at all. He keep saying dont worry the cut on my baby's head will be fine. Wont get infected or become worse. Keep repeating baby is Normal and OK (like babycupid say).
1 week later, got pus come out of my baby's head. We went back to see him, cos he told us it wont get infected. But again he say This is normal. What an ass. Hubby was so annoyed. I already give up hope on the PD.
We chg PD to Dr Winston at CCK Kidslink. He's an excellent PD and very gentle. Plus he explains his diagnosis clearly so you know whats going on with your child. We've found our perfect PD. =) |

Normally if you dont have any PDs in mind te gynae will "assigned one " to you and its someone normally they hve worked with ad trust.
Maybe not cut the head cut at C sction during pulling the beby out may heve incured a cut ? |

Hi all. Yup it was a horrifying experience for us as first time parents!! Hubby and i really shdn't have paid for the Csection. Luckily my daughter is fine. Its just tougher luck for us cos her hair is taking its own sweet time to grow. She's 14 months now but her hair is still nowhere near ear level. Her scar can be seen quite clearly as her top hair is not long enough to cover it. =(
Yew can read abt my csect experience at TMC at the the following thread.
my post is somewhere in the middle of the page -

Agree with Polo, avoid Dr Ang Ai Ting.
I was assigned to Dr Ang PL.
After 5 days since I discharged from TMC, my boy was a bit yellowish, so I went to see Dr Ang PL. But it was an afternoon and he is not in, so I was advised by the staff to see his partner, Dr Ang AT. She was very mean with her tone saying we did not take care of baby (sounds like what kinds of parents you are to cause baby to become like that) and baby have jaundice and need to admit hospital. I am more sad then angry and I cry a lot that day. My hubby was so angry afterwards and tell me to ban seeing Dr Ang AT in the future. In the end I came to know that a lot of my frens' babies also encounter the same jaundice problem and is very common and should not be so upset about it. |

Yeah avoid Dr Ang Ai Ting at all cost
find her very rushed and impersonal further more try to force us on screen test that's really unnecessary, since my oldest one never had it even when she is born in country Dr Ang Ai Ting said it is practiced. |

I was assigned to Dr Keoy when I was due. For the uninitiated, Dr Keoy is a neonatalogist at TMC. From what I have heard, parents seeing him end up in two camps. First camp - dont like him. Second camp - ok with him and stayed with him for their second/third child. I belong to the second camp.
When my son was born, Dr keoy came to my ward every morning between 6-6.30am to report how my boy was doing.
I agree Dr keoy has some traits that some parents find uncomfortable with but having been with him for almost 2 years now, he's the most suitable for us.
Each time my boy falls very, very sick (3 times so far), it's him who gave the correct diagnosis. I had brought my boy to the famous Dr Koh at SBCC AMK and DR Ang AT/Ang PL. None gave good diagnosis for my boy's condition. On these 3 occasions, Dr Keoy was away for holiday, so bo pian needed to see another doc.
When he's 3months old, my boy was coughing very badly for a week. We brought him to see Dr Koh who immediately concluded my boy's cough was asthmatic after hearing I had childhood asthma. We spent close to $600 for 2 visits but still boy was not getting better. By then, Dr Keoy returned liao. We went to Dr Keoy and he gave a thorough check up for my boy and found that my boy was having a rare skin disease, MRSA. If we had stuck to Dr Koh, my son would have been dead by now. For this, I would always always remember and be thankful to Dr Keoy. He didn't dismiss my son's condition as 'cough', 'simple flu' or asthma. He didnt take the easy way out but rather, did his own diagnosis.
Maybe he somehow has a connection with my son. I realise he remembers a lot of things I have told him (from previous visits) about my son. Unlike how some mums mention here, Dr Keoy always have time to discuss in great depth on questions that I have. Of cos, there are times when he replies "it's normal".  |

I would say he's not the 'chatty' sort but he answers our questions patiently. When he think the answer is "beyond our intelligence" or need a lot of time to explain, he would point us to some books or website. I rather he does this, then try to cook up stories to get rid of us.
He is that sort who "I just want to see my patients" kind. If you are comparing him with Dr Ong Eng Keow, then of cos Dr Keoy is quiet and boring lor. But do I need a chatty doc? No, right? I just need someone who cares and is sincere in helping my kid to be back to good health and explain to me about things I dont understand or things I ask about. Dr Keoy does all these.
He doesnt charge u ridiculous fees or sell u medications that your child doesnt need or bluff u into hospitalising your child for trival things. |
