It’s true I have never seen another obstetrician for either of my pregnancy, but if it is a testament of Dr Pillay on both occasions when we had returned to him, it is that we never thought to go to anyone else but Pregs.

There is something so special about Pregs that many women felt connected to. Time and time again, people testify to his great demeanour; being calm and informative; and he is reachable at all times. It’s all true and so much more - Pregs also have a wonderful sense of humour and a great laugh!

He’s very reassuring and each visit is a treat. Above all, I feel comforted and trusted his expert care. I realised I often held my breath at each scan until he would declare everything is good and that he’s happy.

He will be so missed when we are done with having babies. We cannot recommend Dr Pillay and his team enough.

I don't suppose I know exactly why I chose Pregs over 3 other obstetricians that my GP referred me to. But once I went to see him I never look back, nor will I ever look anywhere else.

Everyone says Pregs has a friendly, calm, patient and helpful demeanor. And he's really all that! But he's also a person who has quite a wicked sense of humor that brings out the funny in us; he is very upfront and honest with his opinion; he would never send you to do anything you don't need; he's very in tune and understanding of the cost of such a medical care, and so his payment plan is well planned and well spaced out so that you don't ever feel like you are overwhelmed with bills; and although he often never offer more information (some new parents to be may be anxiously sitting at the edge of their chair and waiting for guidance, and it just never come), he's never one not to give it when you ask or make you mistrust him if he never. It is just Preg's way of not overloading the new parents if one can understand - there really is no need for more panics and anxiety if not needed. One way or another, people will trust Pregs and his judgement, and they will learn to appreciate what he does give - basics like the mother's blood pressure and baby's growth. If Pregs don't raise an eyebrow and make a frown, you shouldn't either.

For 35 weeks, we looked forward to every visit with the doc. It's like seeing a 'father figure'; a good friend and confidante you feel so lucky to have that you never want to lose touch. For 35 weeks, we placed the trust of the mother's and baby's health in the hands of this one man.

I was diagnosed with borderline gestational diabetes, and at later stage of pregnancy, all my limbs were going wonky with carpel tunnel and tenosynovitis. Every referred specialist Pregs sent me to is superb and extremely lovely to work with. But above all, I can always go to him and make a whinge about not having my ice cream and sweets. Pregs always have a good laugh with me and words of encouragement to keep me going.

A week before our Zoe was estimated to be due, Pregs was off on holidays. For once I found myself worried - I wanted my own doctor around when baby comes. He said to me "cross the legs if she comes."

We managed to wait until Pregs return, and due to the size of bubs and my diabetic situation, I was induced at 40 weeks and 1 day. As with Pregs philosophy, he is all for non-invasive delivery if possible. It's only most unfortunate that I wasnt dilating enough to have baby naturally.

Pregs expert surgery skills had me up on my feet gradually from day 2 and pretty much off pain medications in just under 2 weeks. And we welcome his visit in our room every day as I recover.

Pregs and his staff gave us the best life experience and emotional attachment we have ever had. Corrine, Glenda and Allison is always there with a big smile and a good chat. They really do embrace every bit of you and give you every support you need. I know that because after Zoe's birth, I was such a wreck I actually rang Glenda for a good cry.

Therefore, it is without hesitation we love Pregs and his team. And would recommend him to one and all!!
