There are many doctors to choose from in HK, some with firm views about how they like to do things and some that will be as flexible as you need them to be.
It’s really important that you shop around. You'd never walk into a shop and buy the first jacket on the rack would you? Or the first house you viewed, so why would you buy into the first doctor you talk to? This will be the person you need to trust 100% for the next 40 weeks and who'll deliver your baby, so you need to make sure you like and trust them. Start by asking your friends who they would recommend and what their birth experience was like and then start to meet one or two.
Gynecologists in HK each have their own sensibilities, some have a preference for c-sections and others for a natural birth. Once you've decided what is right for you then you can decide who is right for you. Here are just a few of the names that I have come across during my time in HK. The rest if up to you.
One other thing to bare in mind is that each of these doctors are registered with different hospitals or are residents at particular hospitals so if you have your heart set on the private rooms at the Matilda or you live around the corner from the Adventist and want a short ride to your hospital then make sure you ask where they are registered too.

I have used 4 of the above Doctors and fired 3 of them for various reasons such as; Couldn't get an appointment to save my life, Just didn't like the man, too old fashioned and equipment also seen better days and refused to work at the matilda which he only told me at 20 weeks! In the end I ended up with Grace Cheung and I loved her. Couldn't find fault in the woman. The whole team were great. Dr Grace has a lovely bedside manner and is a resident at the matilda. The equipment they use at the practice is very modern and lots of great 3D pics and even a DVD of major scans. I was expecting my repeat of the 20 week scan to be double that of my old Dr given the 3D versus old scan but it was cheaper by half! Still can't believe I was paying 2000+ dollars per visit when Dr Grace is approx 900. Towards the end I have an awful pregnancy and the whole team were just amazing.
