Hi confused by some of the terms here, what is PCOS, D&C & TTC? Has anyone been treated by Dr Ong for endotrimesis? Is he good? Recently another gynae found an ovarian cyst in me and advised me to remove it, wish to get a second opinion..

I also went to see Dr Ong yesterday as my GP referred me to him after having a positive preggy test and I was bleeding quite alot. Dr ong wasn't the smiley doctor u all were talking about probably because mine wasn't very optimistic news. After giving me the jab and medication, my bleeding seems to have stopped and I have to go back to his clinic tomorrow for the 2nd blood test to see if the baby is still growing or didn't survive. Keeping fingers crossed. The fact that the bleeding stopped is good news I suppose.

Only thing was I find his charges abit on the high side. The bill came up to $400+ at his clinic yesterday for a blood test, scan, consultation, 1 jab and 1 box of progesterone medication (1 week). I was with another gynae with my first child and I felt he was more reasonably charged but that was almost 3 years ago so pricing might have been different already.

overall, I felt Dr Ong is ok even after 1 visit. Will need to go for more visits before I can comment further.

LQ
TTC = trying to conceive
D&C = an op that involves opening of the cervix to "clean up" the uterus via vacuum suction (usually for abortions, removal of polyps, cysts, fibriods, etc). If u want to know more, u can do a search for D&C on google and you'll get tonnes of info on it :P

PCOS = not sure

Ladies,

I just tested positive and I just want to go to a gynae to make sure everything is ok. I am staying in Bukit Panjang too so I think I should go to Dr Douglas Ong since I am hearing so many good things about him here.

Can I know what is the best time to call the clinic? I've been calling since 10am and theres no reply... :-(

He is only at Bukit Panjang on certain days/nights of the week.

Hi I've called up Dr Douglas Ong's clinic at Mt E to enquire abt the packages but the receptionist who picked up the phone told me to drop by and she will brief me the packages (she mentioned she will hand out the paper)..easier to understand. wonder if anyone existingly has the package info? Cos find it a little hassle to go down all the way now that I'm preggie..but would love to know their packages (like start from which month and their rates). Any info would be much appreciated. Can email me at thirdanniversary@yahoo.com.sg? Many thanks.

Rain.. not sure abt vbac.
His current pkg is $2k from 16 wks onwards incl delivery. :-)
Aniway, whether you going to be his patient or not, its good to get the pricing paper frm the clinic. They have estimate for all the possible costs e.g. EPI doc, PD visits etc.

I am quite surpised that he charges extra for after office hours delivery.. Does anyone's gynae also charge similar fee? My 1st gynae does not charge me extra $ for after office hours delivery..
I find that Dr Ong's prices are very transparent and I have confident in him :-)

Some gynae may just have one lump sum fee that includes this and that.. but beware that there are hidden charges that we are not aware of.. so ask for more.

Just to share, Dr Ong is a very careful gynae. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes in my 3rd trimester (very mild according to the MtE dietician) and Dr Ong put me on blood glucose monitoring and had follow-ups with me every 2 weeks to ensure my pregnancy is going on well. My friend who was diagnosed with GD higher than mine under another gynae was only given notes on what diet to eat/avoid.

I had good vibes with Dr Ong and will definitely go back to him when I have #2. :-)

Dr Ong is not only careful but oso daring! hehe
for my 2nd pregnancy @ 32 weeks, i was diagnosed with preeclampsia. Usually, when other gyane get to diagnosed this, need to deliver immediately. but for him, i undergo blood test every week, see him weekly and manage to drag till i'm 35weeks! So happy!

crystalz , can see that he is a gynea that take very pregnancy as a miracle. He does his best for the baby and never take the easy way out.. I was surprise that he took the time to give advise on h1n1 and compile it to give to us in paper.

just come back from my gynea visit.. 29 wks now.
I am surprise to know that other gynea are still scheduling their patient on a 5 wk visitation at 27 wk, i.e. next visit is 32 wk.

Dr Ong, schedule me for 31 wk visit, i.e. 2wks later. I think for the extra we paid for the pkg, we are actually getting more freq visits which is "safer".

Also , i heard some Dr like to induce their patient before EDD. Personally, think that by doing inducing.. there are are higher chances of unnecessary complication esp if it before EDD.

Actually, all these result in cheaper cost to us cos' higher freq and less complication means smoother delivery. Chances of E C-sect or sudden labour/preemies is lower.

Frankly, it's worth the extra for a good and responsible gynea.

I am with my #3 whom is due 4 jan and have been with dr douglas ong since my #1. Have to say that he is a very encouraging and caring Gynae and his staffs are good also. Heard fr midwives at MtA mentions that dr ong is a doctor who would opt for child birth to be as natural as possible ..... Not even bursting the water bag.... I always recommend friends to him....

Yes, I had my 1st via c-sect and I just had a VBAC with Dr Ong in Dec'09. After that, he insist that I could do a natural .. When he was stitching me up, he was also joking .. a very good gynae who will put you at ease ..

Rain, I guess you got your vbac answer from Tongtong.

I'm considering Dr Douglas Ong now as I'm looking for vbac gynae. After reading the posts here, I feel a little more assured of him.

Just a few questions to mummies here:
1. Is Dr Ong a Christian?
2. I heard Dr Ong delivers at Mt E. Which other hospitals does he deliver at?
3. Tongtong, is it ok for you to share the birth weight of your 1st & 2nd baby, and why you had t undergo a c-section the 1st time? I underwent c-section too for 1st baby and didn't want to go thru it again, will be changing gynae.

Thanks!!

Hi mousy pig,

I've gone for follow-up check-up after delivery by Dr Ong & he's very professional. His female assistant will be beside him during the examination so nothing to feel awkward about.

Jazz2:

I didn't take up any of the Down syndrome test. I only did a routine blood test to chk for anemia etc, and at 7th mth a diabetic glucose tolerance test.

We were briefed through by Dr Ong on the Down Syndrome tests.. for my age (31.. the risk is about 0.125% or 1 in 800), moreover the NT scan and the blood test or combi only tells if you are in a high risk/low risk group. Even if you are in the high risk group, doesn't mean the baby is having Down, just that the risk is higher - that's all .. to be sure, will need an amnio which again carries a 0.5-1% risk of miscarriage.

My decision all boils down to - what will you do with the final information available.e.g will you carry on with the pregnancy or choose to terminate it?. For me and hubby, we feel that every child is a blessing and have a fate of its own, thus we decided not to do the test(not to mention we did not want to go thru the anxiety for waiting for test results etc ... just to relate, my friend tested +ve, went on to do the amnio. End results was that her baby was completely fine. but the waiting window after the NT scan and before the amnio, and for amnio results thereafter were torturing)

What I said above is based on my own judgement. For me I would love to treat my own as an unique and would love to have it as carefree/ stressfree as possible.

If you are wondering then perhaps the best question to ask yourself is, what are you going to do with the information(test results)that's available to you:

1) if the NT or combi test is +ve, will you want to pursue to amniocentesis? are you comfortable with the risk of 0.5-1% of miscarriage to carry on with amnio (bearing in mind the baby might just be perfectly normal at the end of the day)

2)if you proceed and touchwood..in rare cases that if your baby is confirmed of having Down, will you and hubby wanna continue with the pregnancy (if yes, the knowledge of the test result might give you about 6 mths headstart to prepare mentally - join support groups, get more infor etc, but on the other hand it can also be a torturing remainder 6 mth of your pregnancy) and (if n0, then you will have to look into alternative of terminating the pregnancy - and in this case will have to seek 2nd opinion/look for other gynae as Dr. Ong doesn't perform abortions)

pretty long explaination.. but I hope it helps to clear off some of your doubts =)

Hi,

Just to share that Douglas was my gynae 1 yr ago where i had a c-section previously. The surgery wasn't done perfectly and my wound got infection 2 weeks after the delivery.

Though i am grateful that my boy was delivered safely but i found his services are very expensive as compared to all my friends.

Now, my boy is already 1 year old but my wound is still itchy n red at times and obviously, the stitches are ugly and uncomfortable.

I wont go for him for my 2nd child.

So please think twice if you decide to let him to do c-section for you.

I had quite a good experience with dr Ong for my boy's birth last year. Mine had some complications as my baby was breeched and decided to come out early at 37 weeks.
Dr Ong was calm and reassuring throughout and that helped a lot! I had an emergency c-sect and today the scar can hardly b seen.:-)
. I had a few friends who had good experiences with him too that's y I choose his clinic despite it being a bit in the ex side plus super far from my place.:/
But I'll definately go to him again if I hv a #2.;)

i had a very good experience with Dr Ong for my first child. Now expecting no 2.

I always like him very much, professional and assuring. Introduced many friends and colleagues to him and they find him very good.

anyone knows what time the BT clinic open?
