Mok Edward K MD

My wife never saw E. Mok, but Victor was highly recommend by friends. And so far he is what we expect it. The negative reviews were in the past and I think he has grown as a doctor and person, very approachable and friendly, funny too. The office staff is super friendly and warm, family like. If you want corporate style visits try to Mary Wong.

It still amazes me how far the apple has fallen from the tree. How Mok & Mok are evidently on opposite spectrums. Retired Edward Mok, or Daddy Mok as faculties from New York Presbyterian now calls him, is well known and well respected. His methods were traditional, but effective. His care and concern resonates from the moment you arrive for your first appointment. He was dedicated and harnesses a great sense of humor that is missed throughout the NYPH community.
Daddy Mok delivered my first child as well as several of my nieces and nephews. He was an OBGYN when his services were required, but also a friend who optimizes what is best for mother and child. I miss everything about Dr. Edward Mok because everything about him is missing from his successor, Victor Mok. Faculties who were there long enough to call Edward Mok a colleague simply loved and adore him, and misses his presence. However, there was an uncomfortable silence when the conversation shifted towards his son. Don’t take my word for it; ask around yourself if you ever get the chance.
I rarely judge based on what I hear, and often rely on what I see, feel and experience. If you’re reading this now, I advised you to steer clear of this path. Daddy Mok is a staple of what we expect from a top notch physicians. Victor Mok represents everything that’s wrong with the medical community as we know it. He’s like a salesperson working on commission, the more he stands to gain financially, the better the service. If you’re just there to window shop, expect his response to go from concise to dichotomous.
We now live in a world where information is available at your fingertips. Patients can be as informed as they would like to be. That being said, we are well aware of the pros and cons for inducing and C-​Sections. We would only consider it after all options have been exhausted. Anything other than natural was likely detrimental to your child’s health in the long run. Of course our decision didn’t stop Victor Mok from suggesting it on many occasions, even before my wife reached 36 weeks. In the end, our child was delivered naturally and healthy despite Victor Mok’s persuasion. Sometimes you can’t help but sense that he’s covertly suggesting certain things to his convenience. After birth, we never saw him again, not even when my wife was being discharged from the hospital. Nurses were shocked! It was literally unheard of! My wife was also in excruciating pain and needed to be examined. We also wanted our son to be circumcised, but was informed that our insurance doesn’t cover Victor to perform it. At this point I’m puzzled. The hospital informed us that they can perform the circumcision but needed authorization from our doctor since he was a physician of the hospital. For reasons he did not specify, he refused to authorize. You can’t help but think that he’s purposely making our lives miserable at this point.

The father is Edward, and he delivered me and my twin sister in a difficult delivery. He also delivered my younger sister. I went to him as my gynecologist, then to the son, Victor, as he gradually took over the business. I much prefer Victor’s bedside manner to his father’s, which was much more old school Chinese. I can get appointments relatively easily, and everyone in the office is very nice.

I would not recommend this obgyn. The office is unprofessional. Dr. Mok was taking blood and needed assistance and the office manager came rushing into the room knock the arm of Dr, Mok who had a needle in my arm. I had a D&C done by him. He did not recommend to put me under. I had local anesthesia. I was screaming in pain through the proceddure. The office manager and receptionist had to hold me down. Midway through I had to scream stop 4 times. He stopped but blamed me for moving around too much. I felt like I had a knife digging inside of me. He did not console me and my husband and left me shaking and crying on the examining table. When my husband started asking questions, he told my husband to wait in the waiting room. It was a traumatic experience.

So one’s the father, one’s the son. Both are gynos. I liked the father more — much friendlier and warmer. Also pretty funny guy.
They were about half an hour behind on appointments (I think this might be usual). The examination room was also a little… uh could have been nicer/​cleaner. But still good for Chinatown. And friendly guy who knows what he’s doing.
