Anyone experienced w/ Dr. Patrick Chan or Macro Wan for epidural or c-section?

Please comment on both of them. I have no clue which one to choose, the only concern that I am worrying about is the pain.....i'm scare

Congrats, hopeFordaBest!


Dr. Chan performed a c-section for a friend because the baby wouldn't turn. My friend said she wasn't in much pain after the procedure. The wound healed very nicely and the scar is barely visible.


I'm currently seeing Dr. Chan and hope to deliver with epidural. He's very patient and answered all our questions and concerns. He has a lot of patients so make an appointment soon if you want him to deliver your baby.


Good luck!

It will be an anaethetist (sp?) who inserts the epidural so you should be asking about which anaethetists these obstetricians use. I have heard that Patrick Chan is nice but not sure about c-section specifically.

The trouble with being in Asia and especially in Hong Kong is the fact that often some doctors reputation get overinflated, a case in point being Marco Wan. He has been around for some time, has a nice office with all kinds of fancy equipments such as a 4 D(?) ultrasound where it can reconstruct the entire baby in 3D, but so reputable and busy that he has no time to talk to patients or to answer concerned mothers' phone calls. My friend called him with some spotting in the middle of pregnancy and all she was told by his (also) "busy" nurse was that everything would be allright ?! Those who go for the 4D ultrasound, though expensive, gets a recorded CD of Dr. Wan's interpretation and not his personal explanation of the ultrasound. You all can figure out the rest about the quality of the doctor. Yet, because he's been around and he is "famous" patients flock to him. What's important IMHO particularly in the case of an obstetrician is that they cannot endlessly overbook themselves, deliveries and emergencies can happen unexpectedly and at at time, Dr. Wan is unlikely to have better skills than most experienced obstetricians which there are many, but patients are more likely to go ignored if one goes with him.
