Hi, I see lots of questions about individual doctors: who's know for what, pros and cons, what they charge, etc.
I know we can't post anything negative about any individual and I respect that...but would it be useful for me to compile a document (which I would then PM to anyone who requests it) listing some basic info/feedback on each one? If I can collect enough info on the 10 or 20 doctors whose names always come up, this might be a useful resource for all of us.
Let me know what you think and, if you think it's a good idea, what info contributors should submit re. the doctors with whom they have/had first-hand experience.
Thanks.

Just so that you have something more concrete to reply to I'm thinking of a spreadsheet that looks something like this:
--DOCTOR'S NAME
--DOCTOR'S SPECIALTY/WHAT HE OR SHE IS KNOWN FOR
--APPROXIMATE CONSULTATION FEE/ANY OTHER PRICING INFO (I.E. WHETHER PACKAGES ARE AVAILABLE)
--OFFICE LOCATION/HOURS
--APPROXIMATE WAITING TIME
--PROS (I.E. POSITIVE OBSERVATIONS)
--CONS (I.E. ANY CONCERNS/POTENTIAL PROBLEMS)
--NUMBER OF PEOPLE SUBMITTING FEEDBACK (SO THAT YOU WOULD KNOW WHETHER THE INFO IS ONE PERSON'S OPINION OR COMING FROM A NUMBER OF PEOPLE)
Again, just let me know if a document like this could be useful to any of you. If so, I'll try to get it started. Thanks.

Hi wishing and hoping,
I think it is a great idea. I just opened the forum to search for a gynecologist and I noticed your thread. It can be hard to find the info, things like general feedback on the doctor, price etc. I just don't know where to start with a gyno? so this would be excellent, great suggestion, Thank you
Please support our advertisers:
Wonderful idea w&h! Pls count me in.
I would also ad the following to your list:
- dr's bedside manners
- staff: nurses' level of knowledge, information, various tests i.e. taking blood (finding veins or poking one's arm open), language (English & Cantonese) etc.
- Dr's practice: availability of 3D/4D scanner and other equipment
- time for lab reports
Look forward to getting everybodies feedback!
Please support our advertisers:
Great--let's get started then. Anyone who would like to contribute info, please send me the info below re. any doctor with whom you have had first hand experience. I will compile the spreadhseet and send out a first draft (we can always update it as new info comes in) within the next week or so. Please be sure to *PM* me your input as, as you know, we will not be able to publicly post any negative feedback. In turn, I will then PM the compiled spreadsheet to anyone who requests it.
Thanks!
--DOCTOR'S NAME
--DOCTOR'S SPECIALTY/WHAT HE OR SHE IS KNOWN FOR
--APPROXIMATE CONSULTATION FEE/ANY OTHER PRICING INFO (I.E. WHETHER PACKAGES ARE AVAILABLE)
--OFFICE LOCATION/HOURS
--APPROXIMATE WAITING TIME
--DR'S BEDSIDE MANNER
--STAFF'S BEDSIDE MANNER, LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE, TEST-TAKING SKILLS, AND LANGUAGE SKILLS
--AVAILABILITY OF 3D/4D SCANNER AND OTHER EQUIPMENT
--AVERAGE TURNAROUND TIME FOR LAB REPORTS
--OTHER PROS (I.E. POSITIVE OBSERVATIONS)
--OTHER CONS (I.E. ANY CONCERNS/POTENTIAL PROBLEMS)
--NUMBER OF PEOPLE SUBMITTING FEEDBACK (SO THAT YOU WOULD KNOW WHETHER THE INFO IS ONE PERSON'S OPINION OR COMING FROM A NUMBER OF PEOPLE)

Dear Buz,
Thanks very much for your contribution but others please note that this feedback *MUST* be PM'ed to me, *NOT* posted on the site (otherwise it is very likely to pulled by the Editor as it will likely include some negative as well as positive points).
Many thanks to all of you who are contributing to what I think will be a very useful resource--but please do take note of this very important process point.
Thanks again,
W&H
P.S. Buz: as expected your feedback has been deleted...can you please PM it to me when you have a moment? (Dear Ed: totally understand your reasons for doing this...will keep trying to get everyone to connect with me by PM--thanks.)

Hello, I am Medical consultant writing this from New York, the US. I am looking for an Eniglish speking high-tech IVF doctor in HK for my client. Could you tell me who are good and their phone numbers? My email address is pianistnao@aol.com
Thank you very very much.
Please support our advertisers:
Hi, again. I was reading all over and found a recommended name, Dr. Joe Chan.(852-2523-3328)
I just called him and spoke to him if he could check some items we(the United States' requires). He said it was no problem and he was extremely pleasant. His English is great as well. I am very happy I found him.
Please support our advertisers:
pianistnao, you can also try dr alexander doo from the women's clinic. i have a few friends who go to him for ivf and some were successful. his mentor, dr milton leung, is also the pioneer of ivf in hong kong. his number is 25233007

Hi All,
Another update: The spreadsheet now has feedback/info on 7 doctors. Please keep the information coming (via PM only--see above). It would be good to get info on a few more. I'll send out the sheet to those who have requested it before the end of next weekend.
All the best,
W&H
Please support our advertisers:
hi wishing and hoping
just PM you a message today
Please support our advertisers:
Dear Yankee, I don't have a submission on Dr. Chan yet--thanks in advance for sending one in.
FYI, everyone, I now have info on Drs. Choy (Christine), Ferguson (Sally), Ghosh (Arabinda), Ho (Philip), Lord (Lucy), and Wan (Marcor).
Would welcome (via PM only--please see above) more opinions on these doctors, as well as input on others (Doo? Dawkins?) whom I have seen mentioned on the boards but have not received any feedback on as of yet.
Again, the info to submit is:
--DOCTOR'S NAME
--DOCTOR'S SPECIALTY/WHAT HE OR SHE IS KNOWN FOR
--APPROXIMATE CONSULTATION FEE/ANY OTHER PRICING INFO (I.E. WHETHER PACKAGES ARE AVAILABLE)
--OFFICE LOCATION/HOURS
--APPROXIMATE WAITING TIME
--DR'S BEDSIDE MANNER
--STAFF'S BEDSIDE MANNER, LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE, TEST-TAKING SKILLS, AND LANGUAGE SKILLS
--AVAILABILITY OF 3D/4D SCANNER AND OTHER EQUIPMENT
--AVERAGE TURNAROUND TIME FOR LAB REPORTS
--OTHER PROS (I.E. POSITIVE OBSERVATIONS)
--OTHER CONS (I.E. ANY CONCERNS/POTENTIAL PROBLEMS)
Many thanks! First "edition" of the spreadsheet will be sent out (to all who have PMed me requesting it) by end of day Sunday, Dec. 17.
Please support our advertisers:
Bravo! I'm six weeks pregnant and I need this info asap!
Please support our advertisers:
congratulations ninalee!!!!
Please support our advertisers:
Looking forward to that spreadsheet! I'm 14 weeks and need to find a HK OB ASAP, this will really help!
Please support our advertisers:
Hi, everyone. Turns out I have to work this weekend (ARRGH!) so I will send the spreadsheet out TONIGHT rather than Sunday.
If you requested it (via PM) and have not received it by Saturday morning, please PM me again to let me know and I will re-send. Hope it's helpful.
Two notes in response to questions I've received:
1) Printing the spreadsheet is kind of a nightmare...but I suggest doing it in 'landscape' format, 1 page across, 2 pages down. That seemed to work for me.
2) Yes, if I get additional feedback, I will update the spreadsheet and re-distribute it (to those who request it) regularly.
Again, many thanks to all who contributed. The fact that women who no longer need this info for themselves still took the time to submit their feedback really demonstrates the generosity and warmth of this online community. On the spreadsheet, your anonymity has been preserved, but again a very big thanks to all you kind souls! : )
P.S. It turns out you CAN send attachments by PM--so I did that rather than email. So those of you who asked for a copy, please check the inbox in your "control panel"--you should find a message from me with an attachment.
Please support our advertisers:
This is really stupid but what does "PM" mean? Sorry I am not a frequent memeber, yet...

Hi, thak you for sending me the file. However, I found that there are only comments for 7 doctors. I am interest to see comments of other doctors, like Dr Joe Chan, Derek Lo and Amelia Wong who are often quoted in this website.
Yankee, have you submit your comment for Dr. Joe Chan. Can you tell us your experience with him?
Please support our advertisers:
New Mommy,
I can only add to the spreadsheet when I receive feedback...what you have is the latest info I had when I sent it. While I was on leave someone was kind enough to submit info on Drs. Lo, Choy, and Dawkins. I have just added these and will send/resend the updated spreadsheet to anyone who PMs me. All: *please* PM me rather than posting your email address...it's the only easy way I can keep track of who I've sent to.
Thanks,

Hi W& H,
this is very useful. Thanks for doing this. I am very interested in the spreadsheet too.
I have some experience with Dr Joe Chan and have to say that he is very nice and a good doctor. Very patient and always call you back. I would like to get some more information of the services of dr Christine choy and also some recommendation for a good Paediatrician in HK. Could you send me the list to my email address: re_mcm@hotmail.com.
thanks so much.
Please support our advertisers:
W&H - I have some info on Dr Dawkins which I will PM to you. All positive so far. Very approachable, friendly and seems to give honest advice.
Please support our advertisers:
Hi everyone,
I think I'm all caught up on responding to your requests, so if you still haven't received the spreadsheet:
1. Check your Control Panel...in the last few days I have been PMing them ONLY, not emailing them.
2. If it's not in your Control Panel inbox, send me another PM and I will respond to it within a day.
Thanks again to those of you who contributed.

Hi everyone. A quick update:
The latest spreadsheet (dated Jan. 16) contains 17 entries re. 10 professionals: Drs. Chan, Choy, Dawkins, Doo, Ferguson, Ghosh, Ho, Lo, Lord, and Wan.
I would be happy to send/resend to anyone who requests it and will do so within a day, but please be sure to PM your request to me. I'm sorry but I am so busy with work right now that I can't keep up with finding your email addresses off the boards. I hope you understand.
PM is easy:

Hi. Everyone. A gentle reminder: I am very happy to send the spreadsheet to anyone who requests it but you MUST send your request to me via PM. (If you don't know how to send a PM, check out the Help section of the site...it's very easy.)
Sorry to be difficult but I get way too many requests to pull them off the boards (which due to a chaotic schedule I don't get to read very regularly anymore). If you PM me though I will typically respond within a few days, the only exceptions being around public holidays when I am usually away and sans computer.
Thanks and happy new year to all.

Hi W&H, I will PM you about this as well, but is it be possible to update/ add some more information to the spreadsheet? For eg. Dr. Dawkins is no longer going to practice in HK after August, I believe. I would like to add of my (very good) experience with Dr. Lord which seems to be diametrically opposite of one of the ladies.
This spreadsheet is really helpful and I very much appreciate your taking the time to send this to all the requests. Thanks!

Hi Wishing & hoping
Thanks so much for compiling this list could you please send me a copy.
Thanks again!
Please support our advertisers:
Hi, everyone. Two quick things:
1) I've just finished going through my PM inbox, so hopefully everyone who has PMed me for the spreadsheet has now received a copy. If not, please PM me again and I will respond ASAP. (Again a gentle reminder: please PM your spreadsheet request rather than post your request here...I check my PM inbox daily but I do not look at the boards very often.)
2) I will be away (and without a computer) from May 31-June 15, so if you send a request during that time, I will only be able to respond after I get back to HK. If you need the info in a hurry, perhaps someone who has already received the spreadsheet will send their copy to you...hundreds of people now have it, so it's probably worth asking if you do not want to wait.)
Good luck to all those hoping for a baby and all the best to those of you who already have one on the way. Bye for now!
