Popular Female Gynaecologist in KL and Selangor- Malaysia
One of the first important decisions to make during an early pregnancy is to choose a gynaecologist (gynae) or obstetrician (OB) that you trust to go through the journey together. No matter how professional a gynae or obstetrician is, a woman needs to be comfortable with them as she is exposing her most private and sensitive part to the doctor. And trust me, it’s not easy to do that, which is why I personally prefer a female gynae.
So, I did some research and found out about some good female gynaecologists in KL and Selangor. Note that the list is not in order of preference, and I’m not out to find the best gynae in town, but just to share a list of gynae or OB that are popular and relatively good. If you or your friends are looking for gynae in Johor, you should check out this article. Penang? Read this article.
Dato’ Dr. Siti Zaliha Zainal is very famous among the 'going-to-be moms'. She is very professional in her work and has many years of experience. She is recognised by her patients to be very caring and giving them detailed explanation. She takes her time to answer the questions given to her. Since she is very popular, it is pretty hard to get an appointment with her. Her appointment bookings are normally full for the next 2-3 months. Walk-in will have you waiting very long as her walk-in patients’ starts queuing from 7.30am whereas the doctor only comes in at 9.30am. Yes! She is that popular.
According to one of her patients, Dato’ Dr Siti now only does pregnancy check-up up to 6 months only. She might have stop delivering babies as well. Her medical fee is reasonable. A normal medical visit costs roughly around RM80-RM150 per visit. Since she only works at the hospital, she does the delivery also only in SJMC.
Dr. Noor’ Aini Kassim is a gynaecologist in SJMC. She is a very straightforward person to the extent that sometimes it might hurt her patients’ feelings. She is always telling the patients what they should do, even scolding the patients if they are wrong. She is a no-nonsense person who cares for the patients’ welfare. Dr. Noor’ is not money minded and her consultation fee is relatively cheap compared to others. She is very experienced in delivering babies. She prefers doing C-sect rather than normal delivery and many commented that her operation is fast and good. I would recommend you to go to her only if you are ready for real advice and not flatters from your doctor.
Dr. Tang Bong Nee serves at SJMC and Taman Desa Medical Centre (TDMC). Her cheerful and joyful character makes it easy to be comfortable with. She is a very good listener, friendly and observant towards her patients’ needs. Dr. Tang is very detail in answering questions from her patients, this helps a lot in smoothing the over-worried mums to be. She always reminds them to be extra careful during the pregnancy period and sharing tips on how to improve the health of both the mother and baby. She prefers and encourages natural birth.
Her schedule is always overbooked so waiting time is very long and the consultation period at most takes 10-15 minutes unless there are tests involved. Her consultation fee is reasonable, the killer is those tests that she might suggest which adds up and could burn a hole in your pocket. However, she won’t force or hard sell you to take any of these tests, she will let you decide which test that you are comfortable taking. One thing about Dr. Tang is that she tends to prioritize pregnant mothers, so if you just need a normal vaginal related check-up, I would suggest you go for other gynaes.
Dr. C.B Madhulika prefer to be called Dr. Madhu is a very friendly and caring doctor. She serves her patients’ at Manipal Hospital which is located in Taman Bayu Perdana, Klang. She is one of the most experienced doctors in her field. She does not only help pregnant mothers to monitor pregnancy but also helps couples to conceive and help girls in irregular periods. She answers every questions asked, takes time to do detailed check-up, listens very carefully to understand and diagnose the problem. That makes her very strict and straightforward towards her patients and doesn't sugar coat her advice for them.
One can easily tell that Dr Madhu always prioritize her patients over her own fees. She does not only attend to patients who come to see her but also replies to messages that are sent to her through email, text, WhatsApp, and Facebook. Her replies are fast and helpful to the person asking. Her explanation is very detailed and helpful. She is very active on Facebook and frequently gives advice on marriage management and family management to her followers on Facebook. To those, who have no idea what to do or where to start, I will suggest Dr. Madhu as she will give the right advice on what to do to prevent the problem that has occurred and it’s only a message away. However, let’s not abuse her hospitality by bombarding her with messages on social media, in the end, such messages can never beat a face-to-face session with Dr Madhu.
Datin Dr. Kamaljit Singh is a gynaecologist at the Bangsar Women Specialist Centre. She also serves at Pantai Hospital, Ampang. She is one of the popular gynae’ in KL. She is known more for neonatal treatment and medication (medical care for new-borns). She does both normal deliveries and caesarean section birth, but discourages C-sect. The doctor is known to be caring, accommodating and friendly. She can be tough and strict when she needs to be, for the best interest of her patients just like a mother would be. She is optimistic and helps her patients to stay positive during pregnancy even if there are any birth complications.
Her staffs at the clinic are very professional and knowledgeable. Their management is very systematic compare to most of the other clinics out there. She has many years of experience that has made her a professional doctor and she is normally very calm and supportive during a delivery of baby. Her consultation fee and delivery package is at reasonable and affordable fee. She is comforting and gives motherly-care to her patients that even first-time mothers prefer going to her for advice. She also helps couples for fertility treatment and women who have imbalance hormones. I would recommend Datin Dr. Kamaljit if you haven’t made a list for which obstetrician to choose.
