I was blessed to have found Dra. Ma. Niza Bermudez-Reyes at the beginning of my pregnancy. I was…read moresearching the hospital's website for an OB-GYNE with a sub-specialty thinking that it is best for me and my baby because I have Beta Thalassemia. Thankfully, Dra Niza, as we like to call her, is not only an OB-GYNE but she is also a Sonologist and she specializes in high risk pregnancy. She took care of me and my baby at the start of my pregnancy up until I have given birth my son. Dra Niza is the best doctor that I have ever met because she explains everything in a manner that patients can understand. She uses visual aids such as her charts and apps from her phone and iPad which makes it easier for me to have a grasp of her medical explanations. She is also one of the few doctors who understand that patients have budget limitations. She would give us alternatives so we can save on some tests and procedures. She also maintains constant communication with her patients and she replies to SMS promptly. Should you need an OB-GYNE, I highly recommend Dra. Niza Reyes because she really takes care of her patients.

If you're looking for an OB gyne doctor please do not go to Dr. Ma Niza Reyes. I had my…read moretransvaginal ultrasound at the Center for Women's Health Department at Asian Hospital and Dr Niza Reyes was the OB gyne at that time. I was requested to have antral follicle count on the 3rd day of my period by my OB gyne. At first, Dr Niza was gentle doing the procedure counting my multiple myomas and checking the condition of my endothelium. She was able to count my antral follicles on my right ovary with no pain. But when she was doing the count on my left ovary, I started to feel pain while she was moving the transducer (wand) inside my belly. The pain was excruciating like I was having my dysmenorrhea. I was breathing heavily and quietly to counteract the pain while Dr Niza was having a hard time to have the final count of my antral follicles. On the third time she moved the transducer and pressed it on my left ovary, I started to talk and wanted to ask her if the pain was normal. She didn't allow me to finish my question and instead told me in a high-pitched, sarcastic tone of voice, "Sorry! Pinapabilang yung follicles mo e!" I was so surprised with her reaction. I was not even complaining. I just wanted to ask if the pain was normal. I have no intentions of asking her to stop the procedure since I am aware that this test is needed. Tears fell on my eyes because of the pain and how insensitive Dr Niza Reyes was with her patient's feelings. I had my hysterosalpingogram and IUI before which were more painful and extensive but never received the same reaction and blame from my OB. To make things worse, the nurse handed me the wrong result (2nd/3rd trimester result of another patient). Good thing I opened the envelope and checked the result before leaving the department. Again if you're looking for an OB gyne especially in the south, Alabang area please do not even try having your check-up with Dr Ma Niza Bermudez Reyes who is moody and does not show sympathy and respect to her patients. There may be other doctors out there that hopefully will be more supportive.

Dra. Edna Banta was my very first OB-GYN and I am very grateful to her. I will always remember her…read morebecause she was the one who told me about and eventually administered anti-cervical cancer shots to me. Because of her, I am protected from the dangers of cervical cancer. She is a hilarious woman; one could never tell that she specializes in oncology given her carefree and humorous nature. In the same breath, she is also incredibly professional and knowledgeable. She knows what she's talking about and I highly recommend her if you are in search of a trustworthy OB-GYN in Med City.

Dr. Henson is the OB-Gyne of 9 out of 10 expats women here in the Metro. I've first heard about her…read morewhen I was still in my country (Brazil) doing some research about doctors in the Philippines. After all, I would deliver my baby far from my family in a foreign land and I needed to find someone reliable to assist me. I've Googled some obvious key words like "good ob-gyne manila" and I've found a blog by a Brazilian woman who had lived in Manila some years ago. Thanks to the internet, people can share their experiences (hey, Yelp!). This woman was saying lots of great things about Dr. Henson, so I wrote down her name in my Moleskine. The plan was setting an appointment as soon as I arrived in Manila. That's what I did. I was 5 months pregnant, if I'm not mistaken. The first impression of her was very positive. She's very cool. And fashionable. She wears unique clothes. Actually, the first thing I've noticed when I entered the room were her signature glasses - thick, round and black, just like Harry Potter! By her clinic, you can also tell she's a design fan. She has miniatures of designed chairs as part of the decor. Ok, you may be wondering: "what doest it matter if a doctor is fashionable or not? I want to know if she's skilled!". I tell you: yes, she is VERY skilled. But she's also VERY talkative, so you have to make sure you talk too. I mean, make sure to find ways to make all your questions. I had a great experience with her, but I know some people just get stressed because they feel she's not listening to them. It's up to you. I've never had this feeling, though. She did a great job during my labor and delivery and my baby was born healthy and strong :) Another thing I like about Dr. Henson is that she always text you back when you send her some message. Being text friendly is something I really appreciate in a doctor. She replies really fast, what is great for anxious people like me. I usually go to St. Luke's, but she also has a clinic at Makati Med. Time Day at St. Luke's Hospital: M-Th 2-5 PM; F 9-12 NN Office number/Location 789-7700 L7125

When my youngest daughter was less than two months old, her pediatrician said she heard a slight…read moreirregularity with her heartbeat. That is never a good thing to hear for a mom. The pedia advised us to see a pediatric cardiologist to have her heart checked and she referred us to Dr. Pasimio at the Perpetual Help Medical Center. When I got to the cardiology department of Perpetual and asked for Dr. Pasimio, there was this small lady who came to greet me. I thought she was a nurse because she was wearing a scrub suit, then she introduced herself. For somebody with lots of credentials, Dr. Pasimio was so kind and unassuming. She was very chatty which made us feel less nervous with our visit, and very thorough. She checked my baby's heartbeat twice and asked us questions about our medical history. She didn't hear anything wrong with my baby's heartbeat, but she performed an ECG exam anyway to be sure. As Dr. Pasimio predicted, everything was alright with my little one's heart. She even joked if she can take my daughter home with her because she's just perfect. She clearly loves babies. If anybody's looking for a pediatric cardiologist, I highly recommend Dr. Pasimio.
