Dra. Ditas Decena, An OB-Gyn

Pin It
Dra. Ditas Decena has helped me with my ovulation. I had gone with two other doctors, one known especially to the Chinese-Filipino Community, and the other one is I guess a new OB (not really so new but she's young). The two, well, I don't really think they can help me with my problem.

Until a good friend refered to me her OB-Gyn. Dra. Ditas is a good OB-Gyn who would guide you all the way. I didn't get pregnant after marriage because I have a problem with my ovulation.

After only about 2 or 3 months (I'm not so sure I forgot), I am now pregnant! She takes into consideration the findings of my past OBs (unlike my second OB).

While searching the Internet, about OBs, I found a forum where someone is recommending the same doctor. And she even mentioned that Dra. Ditas Decena is one of the best OB-Gyn in the Philippines.

I thought I would never get pregnant. Thanks to Dra. Ditas Decena for her care and guidance.

Anyone with the same problem or is pregnant, I would be happy to refer you to Dra. Ditas.

Here is her information on the UST Hospital website.

@einjhel: I don't know where to contact you so I'll just put my reply here and hope I'll get in touch with you. I think Dra. Decena is okay but my friend said sasabunin ka raw nya kapag may nagawa kang mali, hindi mo sinunod sinabi nya, meron kang ginawang hindi nya alam like taking Chinese medicine, etc etc... kasi yung friend ko nasabon sya ng isang katutak kaya inunahan na nya ako. Pero ngayon iba na OB ko kasi naospital ako sa ibang hospital.

hi berryblitz, first time kasi naming pumunta sa kanya nun, anyway, recommended kasi siya nung friend naming Medrep sa UST, so first punta pa lang namin, puro harsh words na natanggap namin mula sa kanya... medyo mahaba po mga sinabi niya samin ng bestfriend ko, ok lang po ba iqoute ko na lang yung mga napost ko na sa Girltalk? i mean yung pagkwento, medyo mahirap kasi magtype.
marami pa siyang harsh words na nasabi, hindi ko na kasi naielaborate lahat kasi pag naiisip ko, naiistress na naman ako,. kwento ko lang sis, anyway, hindi na naman ako babalik dun, pero magmamarka na sa isip namin lahat ng sinabi niya...

"grabe mga sis, galing lang kame dun kay Dra. Ditas Decena sa UST, grabe, sobra sungit niya, aaminin ko naman, medyo makulit talaga ako, and sobra ingat ko talaga sa pagbubuntis ko, pero alam niyo ba ginawa niya samin ng best friend ko, pinagsisigawan kami, like sabi niya sa bestfriend ko, "Ikaw, bakit mo tinuturuan ng mali ito? tinatakot mo pa, baka makunan pa ito ng dahil sayo!" nagalit kasi siya, kasi advice sa bestfriend ko ng OB niya dati, (may one child na kasi siya) na wag na muna raw gagamit ng femine wash, so sinunod ko naman, tapos sobra nagalit na siya samin,sabi niya "Kung gusto niyo sundin yung duktor niya, sundin niyo , pero hindi niyo ako mauuto!" grabe talaga. Kahit i swear, hindi ko pa siya nakukulit, tapos talagang sinisigawan niya kami, as in literal na sigaw. tapos nagask kami kung how much idea ng manganak, ang sagot niya in a sobra masungit na way,"Mahal ako magpaanak!" then "Tsaka na natin pagusapan yan, matagal pa yan!" tapos sabi niya sakin, "Masyado kang nerbyosa, e normal naman lahat ng test mo, alam mo ayoko ng ugali mo,ayoko ng mga taong katulad mo sobra magicip, kung ganyan ka ng ganyan, makukunan ka nalang!" grabe talaga mga sis, kung wala akong kasama kahapon, malamang naiyak na ako sa mga pinagsasabi niya, ok lang naman na sabihan akong wag masyado magalala, pero tama ba ganung approach sa pasyente mo, pati yung mga papel at ballpen sa harap niya pinagdadabog niya sa harap namin? i swear mga sis, muntik na talaga ako maiyak kahapon, tapos nakakahiya sa bestfriend ko, kasi sinisigawan niya eh sinamahan na nga lang ako, sobra mga sis, trauma talaga, hindi ko alam kung may problema yung doktor na yun nung time na yun, pero grabe ginawa niya samin. hindi na talaga ako babalik dun, feeling ko, sobra bumaba pagkatao ko sa ginawa niya, hindi ko lang expect na ganun, kasi iniisip ko lahat ng doktor mabait. grabe talaga, sobra dami niya pa sinabi pero hindi ko na matype dahil pag naiisip ko naiinis na naman ako..."

sis, ito ang ilan lang sa mga nangyari samin, hindi pa ito lahat, pero ang sakit na para samin...

@einjhel: naku grabe pala, ako nasabihan na ren nya pero hindi naman ng gaya sa iyo. Grabe na iyon!!! Actually galing ako sa ganung klaseng OB before kay Dra. Decena. Sinungitan ako nung dating OB ko kasi nag-opera sya nung time na yun and pagod. Ngayon back to that OB na sinungitan ako kc OB sya ng mama ko and gusto ng mama ko balik ako dun. And luckily nde na ako sinusungitan. Hmmm pero yes masungit nga yung si Dra. Decena pero sumobra sungit nya syo.

Sino OB mo ngayon?

Anonymous,  December 21, 2007 at 6:50 PM  

grabe talaga sis. alam mo, natrauma ata ako, kasi hanggang ngayon hindi ko makalimutan mga sinabi niya, nagmarka na ata sa isip ko, naku sis, kulang pa yung mga naisulat ko, dahil marami pa siyang sinabing term such as malansa ang ano ko(dahil sa feminine wash issue at paulit ulit siya, na ang lakas lakas, nakakahiya kaya sa mga secretary niya,, pati tuloy ako sa sarili ko nahiya na rin ako), salaula daw kami etc etc. sis, nakakainis talaga. tuloy ngayon, parang takot ako sa susunod na ob na mapupuntahan ko, baka makachamba na naman ako ng ganun, e 7weeks pa lang me pregnant at naghahanap pa me ng OB na hiyang sakin, sis baka naman may maissuggest ka... thanks ha..

Marilou / Lucky Cow Shop December 22, 2007 at 10:53 AM  

@einjhel: merong mga ideas si Dra. Decena na kakaiba sa ibang OB. Wag raw ako magtake ng Anmum kasi nakakataba. Kumain lang raw ako ng tama. But prob ko is hindi ako makakain ng tama kasi hmmmm mapili and nasusuka ako sa mga pagkain. Pati vitamins folic acid lang wala ng iba. Nung nagkableeding ako sabi nya baka may infection ako sa ihi. So pinainom nya ako ng antibiotic na isang banig ata yun. Then sabi ng ibang doctor mali raw yung ganun. Hindi ko nga alam nalilito ren ako.

Ngayon ang doctor ko is sa Chinese General Hospital. Si Dra. Rustica Tansengco. Masungit sya sa akin nung una kasi nag-opera sya nun. Pagod ata. Matanda na sya pero may assistant sya pagkaalam ko pag nagoopera sya na ala-kanang kamay nya. Puede mo sya try. Mon to Sat 9:00am to 11:00am ata clinic hours nya eh.

Or if you want, may nirerefer sa akin yung boss ko na mabait raw, kaso baka mahal kasi sa medyo sosyal na hospital like sa St. Lukes or something. If you want, ask ko yung doc name =)

Anonymous,  December 22, 2007 at 2:32 PM  

hi thanks berryblitz, sige check ko si Dra. Tansengco, kasi plan ko talaga sa chinese general na lang maghanap ng OB, thanks sa suggestion sis ha...

Marilou / Lucky Cow Shop December 23, 2007 at 11:36 AM  

@einjhel: And there is another OB named Dra. Patricia Tan sa Chinese General. Okay ren daw yun. Pero nde ko pa sya naging OB.

Anonymous,  December 25, 2007 at 1:52 PM  

hi, siguro pwede ko rin irecommend dalawang OB na i know and proven magaling tlaga at mababait pa. They are Dra. Pamintuan na taga caloocan and Dra. Buenafe na taga Mary Chiles Hospital sa Gastambide Manila. Yung ky dra. Pamintuan i'm not sure about the hospital i'll ask my grandma. you may email me if you're intrested to know her. She's proven really good, lola ko and mga tita ko, sya ang OB. and madami good feedbacks about her and ung charge is tama lang and you'll be sure to be in good hands. sya nagopera sa ovary ng lola ko, sya din nagpaanak sa mga tita ko. actually balak ko na nga sa kanya na rin magpacheckup after ako natrauma sa recent OB ko. Si dra. buenafe naman is matagal na ring OB and i've tried her once. she's ok talaga and super bait. and either sa kanya or kay dra pamintuan ako bumalik. naghanap lang kc ako ng iba kc malayo sila sa akin. hehe. pero on my next ob checkup im sure to go to them na. yoko na magkamali sa ob. hehe.

aMgiNe October 28, 2008 at 6:19 AM  

im sorry to hear that some of you had a bad experience with dra decena. so far kahit makulit ako never naman nya ko nasungitan ng ganyan, siguro that happened lang on a time na masama talaga araw nya. i know that's not an excuse.

pero like the blog owner i had a very positive time with dra decena. she took really good care of me and my baby.

Marilou / Lucky Cow Shop October 28, 2008 at 11:35 AM  

@aMgiNe thanks for sharing. i think panapanahon ren lang talaga

Anonymous,  February 16, 2009 at 5:51 PM  

Dra. Patricia Tan sa Chinese General Hospital and pinaka-okay na ob. Di sya nagagalit kahit kailan. Maasikaso pa. Kaya kung may mga naghahanap na ob na magaling at ok, sya yun. Highly recommended. Promise.

Marilou / Lucky Cow Shop February 16, 2009 at 9:43 PM  

narinig ko ren nga na ok yang ob na yan. mabait raw. and nakita ko na ren the way makipag usap sya sa patient nya, very friendly.

Anonymous,  April 24, 2009 at 4:48 PM  

Dra. decena has been my OB since 2003 and I've never heard raised her voice on me. She's quite upfront and frank but never shouted at me. Nor Have I heard shout at her patients when I wait beside Shirley's (her secretary) table. Maybe he had a bad day? But still it was uncalled for... - Ginger

Marilou / Lucky Cow Shop April 24, 2009 at 5:00 PM  

hi ginger, may nagcomment sa chat box ko kanina, si sprinkle. then bigla ko naisip, kung sakaling i want to have another child, sa kanya ako babalik, pero this time, sa kanya na ako kung manganganak ako.

nagkaprob lang dati sa pagdurugo + yung wish ng mother ko na sa chinese gen na lang ako.

pero next time, if ever, kay dr. decena ako. mageexplain na lang ako what happened.

and sabihin kong gumawa ako ng blog post hehehe about her.

Anonymous,  May 17, 2009 at 5:48 PM  

kath is right dra,buenafe of Mary chiles is one of A kind doctor sobrang bait dka mahihiya ask anything she will kindly answer all your question,sarap ka kwentuhan I guess thats the reason why sobrang dami nyang patients,she once told me na dapat daw nababawasan na pasyente nya coz shes getting old but mas dumadami pa pati daw mga anak ng patients nya before sa kanya na din nagpapatingin,and despite of her good service and good professionalism attitude hindi sya mukhang pera,my inlaws want me to have a CS for my 1st baby Dra.buenafe act like my mom and told me and my husband NO dahil kaya ko naman daw mag normal bakit nya ko ic CS I bet kung sa ibang doctor un CS ako.

Marilou / Lucky Cow Shop May 17, 2009 at 11:19 PM  

That's good. Pero siguro your in laws are worried lang. That's good ren =)

Anonymous,  May 27, 2009 at 11:12 PM  

dra decena is my OB until now. And ginger is right, she is just frank. Super bait nya nga sa aming magasawa. Nakikipagtawanan p sya sa amin. Kahit sa mother ko. Walang ganung moment ng sigawan or whatsoever. reachable p sya at any moment in time. naalala ko p nung everyday ko syang katxt eh kapag nagtatanong about sa intake ng medicine and all. sumasagot nmn sya. - jen

Anonymous,  December 28, 2009 at 10:07 AM  

Agree with Jen. Dra. Decena is accessible. She even gave me her home number and mobile number. She replies to my SMS questions no matter how busy she gets. She's moody and demanding but she's generally friendly and can be warm to her patients. Never ko talaga syang narinig or nakita nambastos. Anyway, I am seeing her again this coming January for my annual check up. Happy new year to all of you. - Ginger

Anonymous,  July 18, 2010 at 6:19 AM  

She was never my OB but she was once my professor and I was already pregnant at that time. She is indeed moody because I remember one time, I fell asleep during a lecture and she called on me. Imagine, I was pregnant and hindi nya pa ko napagbigyan. But at times okay din naman sya. Like when we were having one of these group discussion and I looked pale, I thikn, so she was asking me if I was taking my vitamins right and that I should be taking iron supplements. I was pregnant in both times.

Marilou / Lucky Cow Shop July 18, 2010 at 4:20 PM  

I think Dra. Ditas is a perfectionist. Not that really, but she likes everything planned, prepared and organized.

And ayaw nya yung pero pero.

By the way, may anak ba si dra? Kasi most OBs doesn't experience giving birth, and so hindi nila alam na talagang iba pag buntis.

As in kahit gusto mo kumain ng masustansya, eh parang mas pipiliin ng sikmura mo yung di masustansya. And need every hour to eat hahaha ako yun!!!

helo..guys saan ba pwedeng site na mag ask sa obgyne ng free? meron kasi akong kelangan itanong.. thanks..

Anonymous,  May 26, 2011 at 11:37 PM  

For me, si Dr. Decena ang OB ko and nagpaanak sa akin December 2009 last year, honestly speaking very strict and frank lang talaga siya, also, she never shouted nor raised her voice, napakalamya nga ng voice niya, yung Anmum, uminom ako nun then pina-stop niya din (pag ubos na) kasi nakakataba daw iyon saka ng baby, which is true kasi baka mahirapan ako sa panganganak at baka MA-CS daw ako. Actually pinagalitan niya ako ng mga 5 months or 6 months ako dahil ang laki ng gi-nain kong weight, pero hindi siya sumigaw nor sinungitan, after nga nun, nag dieta ako para pagbalik ko hindi ulit ako masabon, pero ok lang ako mapagalitan, it's for my own good naman, pero again, sa akin, hindi siya sumigaw nor tinaasan ng voice. Sabi niya sa akin puwede ulit akong magbuntis after a year, sa kanya ulit ako babalik :)

Marilou / Lucky Cow Shop May 27, 2011 at 3:48 PM  

ako CS ako, pero dahil yung ulo ng baby ko nakasuksok sa gilid. 2 glasses of anmum ako per day, pero ayun nung lumabas ang baby ko, payat!!! hahaha

hindi si dra. decena nagpaanak sa akin, pero i'm proud to say na she's one of the best OB in the philippines.

i'm not sure of the term... fertility ob, tama ba? she's one of the best!!!

Goryo April 27, 2012 at 12:07 PM

Marilou / Lucky Cow Shop May 1, 2012 at 6:18 PM  

@goryo

a sad story. tama ka. di bale ng masungit basta magaling. pero may times na need talaga 2nd opinion. sa first baby ko, yung 2nd doc ko ang nagsave sa baby ko.

Marilou / Lucky Cow Shop January 28, 2013 at 5:11 PM  

@anonymous above...

mam 4 yrs na kayo married and wala pa baby. i don't think it would be a problem paying an OB na maaaring makatulong sa inyo, right? I hope you don't consider the price...

then 5 yrs ago, 500 php po, pagkaalala ko. di ko lang po alam now how much

cherryblessing,  March 20, 2013 at 4:32 AM  

Hi mga sis, grabe naman pala yung Dr. Decena. I've read all your comments.. Well I guess, may attitude problem siya siguro but it doesn't mean hindi na siya magaling na doctor. Pero if I was in your situation, malamang matraumatized din ako. Or, malamang nainis na din ako. Coz napaka rude and unprofessional talaga ng mga sinabi niya.

I am 8 mos. pregnant now, and my OB is Dr. Ann T. Ty of CGH, ayos lang naman siya when checking my lab results. Kaso, sometimes I find her dull na kausap. It's like hindi niya nasasagot lahat ng tanong ko, and parang hindi niya ako nachecheck up ng mabuti. I'm planning to transfer kay Dra. Patricia Tan. She was my OB before, pero, nirefer kasi sakin ng friend ko si Dra. Ty, yun ang OB niya though nung time na nanganak siya, reliever lang nagpaanak sa kanya dahil hindi available si Dr. Ty that time. Tapos ang haba lagi talaga ng pila kay Dra. Patricia Tan, kaya naisip ko sige, dun na lang ako sa nirefer ng friend ko. Ngayon I have these regrets, sana pala nagtiis na lang ako pumila ng mahabang mahaba kay Dra. Tan, coz I know mura lang siya maningil and mga 36 yrs na ang experience niya as a doctor. You'll also hear/read good feedbacks about her. Si Dra. Ann Ty kasi nasa 40k ang ND, while 70k ang CS. Shocking lang kasi wala naman din akong mailalabas na ganun kalaki..

I'd really refer Dra. Patricia Tan. Napaka friendly na doctor nun, and magaling talaga. And mura lang maningil. Tiyagaan na nga lang talaga sa pagpila sa kanya, kasi sobrang dami niyang patients.
