We go to Dr Thondup. He is very nice and competent and you feel confident with him.

One of my friends used to go to Dr Richard Chui in central -- they said he was always really helpful and open with them. Someone else told me he wasn't exactly a brilliant physician or anything, but just a nice guy and helpful and fine for the basics.

When I was preganant my ob recommended Dr Richard W Chiu to me because Dr Chiu seems to be specialised in kidney and my fetus may have problem with the kidney. Luckily, tests after birth shows that my little one is ok and since then we go to Dr Chiu.

He is very gentle and patient and he doesn't rush. He is also cheaper than other doctors who serve the expat world.

The western doctors are so expensive. If you go government clinic you can get good child care for very low price and quality is still ok. It is just like social service in any country, you wait a bit longer but much cheaper and quality of medical case is good (maybe better) than private money paying doctors..

True. Once I took my son to a local doctor for a cold. I mean to get some antihistamine but the doctor gave us some anti-biotic as well! I don't bother to argue with him. Since then I go to Dr Yvonne Ou if it's important but not urgent. If my kid is too ill to move about then I will take him to the gov't clinic coz we live on an outlying island and that saves travelling.

We go to Dr. Thondup who we are really happy with. He has a practice in Wanchai Shui On Centre and Repulse Bay.

Still like Dr Richard Chiu in general but who would you go to with for a second opinion?
