First of all, thanks for comments above as I just made a call to book my 1st appointment with Dr. Cecilia Wong coming Saturday. Well, I'm currently wk22 and you guys might make a guess why half way change doctor and it's not so advisable. The reason is I GOT NO CHOICE as my previous doctor (during recent last visit) told me I'm not recommended to delivery at Columbia Asia Puchong Hospital due to reason given, this hospital is not equipped with NICU facilities and might cannot handle my case. NICU is a unit care center for pre-mature babies that requires extensive care like oxygen box & etc as I understand.

Total I visited Dr. Ng Sxxx Pxxxx for 4 times and ever since 1st visit, my blood pressure (BP) reading is quite high when measured at his clinic. I'm taking my BP control medicines but my BP reading shoot up relatively high each time I visit him. I can't explain why my reading shoot up high whereas my reading at home was normal in the morning before went out. But Dr. Ng was not satisfied with my answer and kept saying it could be my machine problem and ask me to send my BP machine to do calibration. This is not true as I measure my husband's BP from time to time to make sure my machine is not faulty.

Dr. Ng , from the start already asked me go to register at Klinik Kesihatan (KK) and asked me to follow whatever they instructed me to and I followed his words. Then KK later also referred me to Putrajaya Hospital because my case is special to them. So all the while I follow up with 3 places - Columbia Asia Puchong Hospital, KK & also Putrajaya Hospital. Although I feel tired but I willing to sacrifice my time, money & effort just for my baby. The funny thing is Dr. Ng even asked me to see the Physician doctor next door of him to monitor my BP, change my medicine if needed. Of course I did not follow his word this time because currently I'm already follow up with 3 places and I don't want to add on my burden whether in time, effort or money. And he told he would never interfere the medicine that KK/ Putrajaya hospital prescribed to me. The most he can prescribe is calcium tablets & Obimin supplements.

Things went on until last 2 days I visited him, he throw me a question "so you will deliver at Putrajaya Hospital, correct?" My husband & I was stunt and a bit blank to react because we always wanted to do the delivery at his hospital and already mentioned to him last time. During the conversation, he again mentioned (in fact every single time) "in case you have pre-mature baby, government hospital fee is much more cheaper compared to private hospital". Frankly speaking, this sounds like cursing me and I a bit loosing my patience already and started to keep quiet. Then later on, my husband still actively & patiently asked him about the NICU charges at Columbia, then only he told there's no NICU at Columbia (I'm not sure about this is true or he made up his story) then asked us go to Sunway or SJMC hospital if we still prefer deliver at private hospital. Afterwards, the nurse handed me a card, some sort like medical record card that indicating my date of visit, weight & some other records and that's the end of my visiting with Dr. Ng.

Sorry for long writing!

Conclusion - If you are healthy and confirm you won't diagnosed any complications such as gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, eclampsia, suspect preterm labour or any other complications during your later stage of pregnancy, you can always go to Dr. Ng . Otherwise, you will experience what I have mentioned in the above writing.

Add on:
1) One of my friend who saw Dr. Ng also got transferred to Putrajaya Hospital for abortion due to some issue last year (2016). See, another example! I only can blame myself for not thinking twice as Columbia Hospital was our 1st choice as we stay in Puchong.

Last but not least, Good luck to you all! Have a safe, smooth & healthy pregnancy!!!

It's long time not login lowyat seriously ever since then. Thanks for reply.
I was nervous (unknown reason, I googled it and I got to know this 'white coat hypertension'). Even went to KK/ Putrajaya Hospital my BP also spiked up but with down trending because the nurses/ doctors got re-measure me with different machine such as mercury type one. You know the long queue in those places, so when I measure 2nd reading was already 1 hr later or more. At Columbia, they just used the only machine to measure me. I told all these to Dr. Ng, he questioned me back "how sure do you think they measure your BP correctly?" He only trust the BP reading measured at his clinic, and never care if I got enough resting time to re-take 2nd reading. Since he mentioned the mercury method is the most accurate one but he never measure me with this, not even 1 time. Probably you're right, he throwing me the machine calibration question to cut short my consultation session. Just like his nurse handed me the medical record card to cut off my further appointment with them (which I never requested).

Further to this, during the 2nd visit, he asked to re-take blood test to confirm if my baby having down syndrome, it costs RM1800. I was freaked out when his nurse called me earlier because her explanation was not clear enough that suspected the 1st test result was not ideal. Then the next morning we rush to see him then only he explained the 1st test not showing any problem but advise me to do 2nd test to re-assure and it's up to us whether we need to proceed. At the end, we also decided to proceed to cut off the nightmares. Also, in week 18-22, he asked me go to see 3rd party doctor at PJ to do anatomy detailed scanning which costs me RM500.

All the above, he asked me do this, do that. I followed. Wasted my time, effort & money ..... at the end!!! I would rather he told me earlier so I still can have more time to find another gynae, not like now hanging half way, depressed and helpless!
