I had Peter for my first baby at Mitcham Private. I found him to be very polite and I agree with most other people that his bedside manner is lovely. He delivered my baby himself and was very attentive through my labour and after my daughter was born.
Most times my appointments were on time or as close too, on the occasions that he was late for my appointment, they were evened out with a couple being early!!
My appointments always felt rushed, although I always left knowing he had answered all my questions.

I have had Peter Tang for 2 of my pregnancies and births - both elective c/s and have found him lovely to deal with and always happy to answer questions. I found I never waited very long for an appointment and if I had no questions I was in and out of there in five minutes. He was great at the birth and very personable with hubby and came to see me every day following my c/s. He is very c/s happy but most OBs are these days and I trust him - seeing he went to medical school and I didn't!

Peter Tang has two methods of helping mothers birth their babies...he either leaves it to the midwives to handle for natural births (is it a huge coincidence how many natural births he misses?) or he's there, scalpel at the ready for a cesarean which he says is 'safer for mother, safer for baby'. Oh he's lovely and quietly spoken, has a great bedside manner and a throng of happy mummas at the ready to sing his praises.
But deviate from his plan, ask questions and/or expect a say in how your baby enters the world and you will find the normally lovely man turn into a self righteous, pompous, ignorant man who will tell you straight out - it's his way or the highway. He is more concerned with his insurance company than working with the mum and he actually said as much to me personally.
Obstetricians aren't gods ladies...if they're not going to do what you're paying them for then find one who will!
I would never recommend this man to any mother having a baby.

AmandaC1...
If you're currently under his care and are happy with his services then why are you searching reviews on him?
There is nothing disgraceful about my review, it is an accurate, truthful review based on my dealings with the man over two pregnancies...which unless I am mistaken, is what this site is all about.
Nowhere in my review did I not allow people to decide for themselves. I simply stated that I would not recommend this person to anyone.
If you're happy with the care you're receiving from him then good for you but you need to also have some consideration and respect for those who haven't and telling me I'm offensive, disgraceful and judgemental is not 'thinking of others'.
Have a great pregnancy and birth.

I cannot agree with you other than he's lovely and quietly spoken and has a great bedside manner, very dissapoiknting that you feel this way!

Do you mind me asking what type of birth you had? Vaginal or C section?
And did you visit him for 2 pregnancies? If so, was your experience negative both times or just the second?

Dr Tang was my OB for my first and second child. I am very comfortable with him. He was always able to answer my thousands of questions. Most of all, i find that he is genuinely concern about the well being of my baby and me.

Dr Tang was my obstetrician for the birth of my first child in September 2007. I saw him at Knox Hospital and felt very comfortable with him. Appointments were quick but I was always in good health. He was always able to answer any questions I had so I was never concerned. On the actual day he was there at the end of my labour but the midwives actually delivered my son as Dr Tang was with another mother...not that, that was a problem as the Midwives were great!

Had my second child in September 2009 and this time Dr Tang made it in time for the delivery!

Dr Tang was my OBs for my first baby in 2006. He was fantastic at delivery, though I often felt like a number in the appointments and at follow up. Being my first pregnancy, I wanted to know a bit more, or feel comfortable asking more questions. I didn't feel I got this opportunity. He also wouldn't flex on inducing 7 days over, which was a bit frustrating - I wanted to go a little longer.

He is a first class obstetrician. I have had 2 babies under his care and and will go back for a thrid. I see him in his Mitcham rooms as he is there more often than the other locations. I also have numerous friends who have had babies under his care and feel the same way as I do.

Dr Tang was our Obstretrician for our second baby. The monthly and weekly visits leading up to the birth were great - very professional, helpful and easy to talk to about any changes or fears. He didn't make the birth (day off) but followed up in the days afterwards.
