i was waiting to deliver my baby to do a review, but now that i'm 9 months pregnant, i think i can give some honest feedback about my experiences with her so far. like the other reviews mentioned, yes she is very soft spoken and very gentle. at first it was a bit off-putting and i wasn't sure what to make of it, but now that i'm ready to deliver, there's nobody i trust more than her to keep me and my baby safe and happy.
she spends a significant amount of time doing ultrasounds and showing me all the aspects of my growing baby's body. she doesn't rush the process and does a full body scan of my baby to confirm we are both healthy and on track. when i had issues or questions about my pregnant body, she checked them immediately or ran any tests to take all precaution. i never felt dismissed or judged by her and always felt secure that if anything went wrong, she'd know about it and we'd handle it.
now that i'm due in four weeks, i went over my birth plan with her recently and she assured me everything will go as i planned unless an emergency arose. she acknowledged my desires and said she normally lets the parents have their way during the birth process which was such a relief to hear! she also mentioned that she hardly ever wants to resort to a c-section unless it's utterly mandatory and they've exhausted all of their resources to have a vaginal birth. ALL SO SO COMFORTING especially for a first time mom who has been nervous during this entire pregnancy! after making it this far with her, i feel safe and ready for my birth.
her office in sierra madre is convenient to get to, has great parking, is clean and well kept, and the staff has been nothing but pleasant. i literally have nothing bad to say about her and i am so excited to meet my daughter really soon with the help of Dr. Chou!!l read more
