Congratulations on your BFP.

I haven't heard of any of those obstetricians. I used Len Kliman and delivered at Freemason's.

Freemason's was great but it would have been nice if Len had made it to the birth but my little guy came 3 weeks early and Len had only gone on holidays that morning!

Pregs Pillay ended up delivering for us and he works at both FM and St V's. Pregs is great, so he might be an option for you.

Good luck!

Congratulations on your pregnancy.

I haven't heard of any of those obs. I had Lionel Steinberg. he delivers at St V's private and Frances Perry.

Good luck

Dr Toledo is an IVF dr she doesnt do obstetrics. I also had Pregs Pillay and he is fantastic. His rooms are at Freemasons and he is always available for a chat on the phone and never rushes your appts.His fees are reasonable too.....

From all accounts, Lionel Steinberg is the most vaginal-friendly obstetrician around, he has a reputation for being very thorough, wonderful, reassuring, VERY pro-vaginal-birth (will take on breech and twin vaginal births no problem), and is reasonably easy to get in to see.

He's at St Vinnies.

Hi all,

I'm new to this and have made an appointment with Dr Pregs Pillay. All the recommendations read so far are from early 2006. Any recent reviews out there???

Appreciate your feedback.

i went to pregs. he is great and I wouldnt go anywhere else.I think you will really like him. very caring but also laid back and relaxed.

I used Graeme Dennerstein with both of my kiddies and he delivered them at St V's. I found him to be excellent.

I know he is not on your list, but I had my first appointment with Dr Pillay yesterday and would highly recommend him. He is at both St V, Freemasons and also Frances Perry. I prefer not to see male doctors so for me this is a big step, and he made me feel totally comfortable.

Family friends that work in this field also gave Dr Pillay the thumbs up in terms of industry reputation.

Hope this helps.
