if you've decided on dr tseng, just call his office to book an appointment soonest possible. the first consultation will be crucial, i suppose, as only you can decide if you're comfortable with him, or if you'd rather see someone else.
in my case, one of the things i also considered was convenience and proximity to our place, considering that especially towards the end, you'll need to go to consultations every 2 weeks. i go to NUH, with prof biswas, the head of the maternal-fetal health division. i'm fairly happy with him, but then it's already my second pregnancy, so i don't really ask for much. i just wanted to give birth at NUH because i've been told NUH has top facilities for neonatal care as well.
prof. mary rauff has also been highly recommended (holds consultations at mt elizabeth and NUH), but at the time i was looking for an ob/gyn, her calendar was so full and she wasn't taking new patients anymore.
the doctor packages usually include consultations/scans, etc from around the 2nd trimester onwards. aside from that, most hospitals also offer childbirth packages (birth, hospital stay, post-natal consultation, etc). you have ample time to mull on those though, so don't worry about those just yet....
