From Dr. May MOK:

It is so sad that we need to say goodbye so prematurely to you.

Thank you for being a great doctor, colleague and friend. I am grateful for your guidance when I first started private practice years ago. Thank you for delivering my two beautiful children. You were always so kind, supportive and caring to everyone around you. I love your sense of humour, and I can still vividly remember your laughter.

You have helped so many families in Hong Kong. I promise to ensure that patients and families will receive your level of patient care.

You will always be in our hearts.

Dear Dr. Doo

We are shocked and devastated to hear of your sudden passing. You were an important chapter in our lives and provided a warm and wonderful support during the pregnancies and deliveries of my two daughters and a difficult termination.

You knew how to put your patients at ease with a wonderful sense of humour. There was never a question you wouldn’t answer. You have helped so many families and brought joy in our lives, as well as being steadfast and professional when we faced challenges.

To Dr. Doo’s family, thank you for sharing Dr. Doo with us, and our deepest sympathies for your loss. May you find strength and peace in this very very difficult time. Dr. Doo will be sorely missed.

Rest in Peace Dr. Doo.

親愛的杜醫生：
我懷著悲痛萬分的心情。當我收到電郵那刻馬上致電到診所，我不希望這個真的，難以接受這個是事實，這幾天心情都是如此的沈重。
記得你幫我接生的時候講過：做醫生係好辛苦，特別係呢一科，你係可以選擇其他科的，但你喜歡迎接新生命，好希望見到新生命的到來。你的笑聲，你的專業，你的體貼，你的關懷，還歷歷在目。你係我見過名醫裡面最沒有架子，最有耐性的醫生，可以講除了醫術高明，還很有醫德的醫生。你的離去，係醫學界一大的損失。作爲病者更失去一位這麼受人尊敬，愛戴的醫生。
希望杜太及仔仔要好好生活，要堅強生活下去。
杜醫生，一路走好，我們永遠懷念你！

Anne-Laure Xoual:

I was so sad to hear about the passing of Dr. DOO. I had the honor to meet him in 2019 when I had a miscarriage during my stay in Hong Kong. I will long remember this painful episode and the meeting with this man full of humanity and kindness. A smile to accompany the sadness, a light in the dark, a hand outstretched in pain.

My deepest condolences To the family and relatives of Dc. Doo.

Toutes mes pensées vous accompagnent dans ce moment plein de douleurs. Mes pensées vont également vers cet homme à qui je souhaite un repos doux et serein.

Anne-Laure

Sacha, Lorraine, Lauren and Khione:

Dear Dr Doo
We were deeply saddened by your passing. Having read some of the messages left for you, you clearly had a tremendous impact on so many people’s lives, as indeed you had on our family. We shall forever be grateful for your gifted hands in helping bring our Khione into this world, and for your kind heart in mentoring our Lauren during the 2 weeks she spent with you (and your patients) at the clinic. We wish you have stayed longer – 55 is too young to go – but we will carry you in our hearts and thoughts as we go forward. Rest in peace our friend.

Ka Po:

Lai Family:

Dr Doo was a caring doctor who gave us the assurances when we needed it most. We had a challenging experience with a previous pregnancy so when we were going through our 3rd one, we were inundated with worries. Dr Doo was by our side throughout the whole journey and was ever calming and reassuring. He genuinely cared for his patients and was always warm and friendly. We never felt rushed during our appointments. He would answer our questions, making us feel supported throughout. We mourned the loss of such a great doctor. Our deepest condolences to Dr Doo’s Family (he often talks about them). Dr Doo will be dearly missed.

Kan’s Family:

多謝您為我們的第一胎BB芊穎提供悉心的照顧及提供很多實貴意見，您每次風趣幽默的講解都化解到我們緊張的心情。

您是一個不可多得的好老闆及好醫生，我們永遠懷念您。Rest in peace Dr. DOO.

Julie Yee:

Dearest Alex,

To this day it is still hard to believe or accept that you are no longer with us and perhaps that’s why pen to paper has been so difficult. We are truly heartbroken and saddened that you are no longer with us. Thank you so much for being a part of our journey in starting and completing our family and the care that you have provided to me since. Feel so blessed to have had you as my OB&G. After 17 years, there are so many vivid memories in my mind. It just seemed a given that you would always be there for my checkups and that we would continue to chit chat about the trials and tribulations of our kids growing up.

Thank you so much for always being so caring, empathetic and respectful of your patient’s views. You always managed to strike a balance between giving practical advice and being encouraging and of course, always sprinkled with your great sense of humour.

I remember our very first visit to find an OB&G, your office/desk was so messy that I mused to my husband afterwards whether you would be the right choice. This brief moment of doubt vanished quickly. And gradually as my sisters and friends started their families, you were “THE” go to OB&G.

I recall that when I was pregnant with our first, Charlotte, you unexpectedly appeared for our regular check-up as you had decided to leave your medical conference in Berlin early to come back and see to one of your patients. I was truly “wowed”. As a first time Mum, you humoured me so much, like when I told you I could see her hair during one of our regular check-ups, you bemusingly told me it was her skull that had not fused, or when I cried because the scans showed she potentially had six toes on one foot. Despite your busy scheduled you called to apologised the next day for taking it so lightly and we discussed how it was important to have the right no of toes for the purpose of wearing sandals in the future… Clearly the priorities were a little amiss for a young mother. She arrived in the world after a long labour, following which I wished I had listened to you to re not needing to be a hero…after having gone through every single type of pain management possible. She was perfect and we joked about whether it was a cultural thing to cut her super long lashes to make a Chinese calligraphy pen.

Our second pregnancy was much more challenging, taking 3 years, with many ups and downs. Your humour in dealing with Charles’ shock at a twin pregnancy is to this day something that makes be laugh. The arrival of Mia & Max was much more dramatic and despite ultimately having to have an emergency C at the QMH, you were still so caring to check in constantly on how I was doing and advising on what to do. All the QMH staff knew Dr Doo! The funniest part was you continuously telling Charles that he needed to prepare a really big “push” present, given all the money we had saved him by giving birth at the QMH as opposed to the Matilda. You were definitely always on “Team Mum”. And on finally meeting the Twins, you offered to take on Mia (Spice Girl), in case we only wanted to keep one..haha.

And finally, despite all the babies done with, you have continued to look after me, particularly the last 3 years with the same great care always. Thank you for accommodating me with my fear of surgery, my insisting that Dr Richard Ooi partner you in my surgeries. You guys are the “Dream Team”.

You will be greatly missed Alex! Forever in our hearts always, may you rest in peace.

Warmest Regards,

Julie Yee

Louise:

It was so shock and sad to say goodbye to you. You are such a great and kind doctor and mean a lot to our family…You have helped our family to go through a tough time…..We will surely miss and remember you!

Louise, Alex and Lucas:

It was really shock and sad when I heard of your bad news yesterday. I still can’t believe you are really gone and I just saw you for regular checkup in June….

You are such a great, professional and surely the best doctor we have ever had although you speak loud and direct and the first impression was even a bit ‘inch’. 🙂 But I do feel your caring, professionalism and affirmative answers to all our questions throughout our journey and do recommend you to others from bottom of my heart.

It was like yesterday that we chit chat about your sons, history of your surname Doo, and even property market while we were waiting for my husband to come for delivery in 2016. You meant and helped us a lot through our toughest time in our life. We were like falling to hell when you told us baby might have emergency issue in last few months of pregnancy. We were so glad we chose to deliver at Matilda with you and not in public hospital although we did have concern on Baby emergency support at that time. Without you, the delivery wouldn’t be that smooth and our worries wouldn’t be lessened. I always remember you are such an important person to make our families complete, happy and joyful, as same as many other families.

We will always miss and remember you. You are such a great and kind person to us. We can’t thank you enough and regret we didn’t show our thanks expresively before…..

Rest in peace!

黃慧茵:

Dr Doo,

今日突然收到你已過身嘅消息，個心⋯⋯ 好痛⋯⋯

跟住，腦海不停響起你豪邁嘅笑聲、浮現你親切嘅笑容、仲有我哋係Clinic、係明德醫院嘅片段⋯⋯ 你成日同啲姑姐講：佢個仔喺明德醫院出世，所以個名叫明德。之後個女又係喺明德醫院出世，個名叫 Matilda⋯⋯ 然後我更正你：唔係，冇叫 Matilda，叫 Anthea⋯⋯

多謝你，有你做我醫生，實在感恩。

遺憾嘅係⋯⋯ 原來我冇同你影過相⋯⋯ 不過，我會用腦海牢牢記着你嘅一點一滴，永遠懷念你。

願你在另一國度，一切安好。

Miss You.

JMY:

Dr. Doo was caring, attentive, and brought an expertise and gift on an uncommon level in Hong Kong.

Salute!

Marie, Gonzalo and Esteban:

To the family of Dr Alex Doo, his colleagues and staff at The Women’s Clinic and Matilda Hospital,

Please receive our most sincere condolences and support. It is with immense sadness that we are hearing about Dr Doo’s departure. He has been the best doctor we have ever had and couldn’t have dreamt of an easier IVF experience than with him. He helped us get little E and supported us all the way through delivery with constant care, attention to details, empathy and of course an incomparable sense of humor! We didn’t get to name our little boy Alex but surely think of him at every single birthday and important milestone of our son’s life.

Eternal gratitude to him and to the whole team for helping us and so many families around the world. We are so sorry he is leaving this world so abruptly. Our thoughts are with you.

David and Kristine Gaisano:

We are greatly saddened to learn of Dr. Doo’s passing. We extend our sincere and deep condolences to his family, as well as his work family at The Women’s Clinic. Be assured of our prayers for his eternal repose, and for your comfort and peace.

From 2011 to 2015, we travelled to Hong Kong multiple times just to see and be under Dr. Doo’s care. We always appreciated how he kept his easygoing, humorous manner even with a very busy schedule. We are forever grateful for his help in our journey to have our second son, Drake.

Rest in peace, Dr. Doo. THANK YOU.

Dear Doo’s family,

Our deep and sincere condolences, may Dr Doo RIP, and may God help you all with strength and heal the loss.

We are shocked and greatly saddened on Dr Doo’s passing. He was such a professional, compassionate and caring doctor. We met Dr Doo in 2002 when he came to Hong Kong from UK and settled down in The Women’s Clinic in Central Building. He cured my ovarian cyst and delivered my lovely girl, now 17 years old. We were very blessed to have him in our lives. He will be missed by all of us. Thank you very much Dr Doo.
Rest in peace and God bless

Julie Yee:

Dearest Doo Family,

Your Husband and your Father was truly a “one of a kind” Doctor that touched so many lives and so many hearts in so many ways. To this day it is hard to accept that he is no longer with us. We are so blessed to have had him on our journey to start and complete our family as well to continue with my own well-being over the past 17 years. Our deepest condolences to you all for your loss. Please take good care of yourselves and know that you are in our prayers. He will be forever in our hearts.

Warmest Regards,

Doris & The Yuen’s Family:

Dearest Dr. Doo,

I am so deeply shocked and heartbroken to hear this tragic news. You are such a great doctor who has provided tremendous support, guidance and advice to me and my family during my numerous pregnancies and miscarriages. You have touched so many lives for the good. Your smile, your terrific sense of humor and your professionalism will be dearly missed and will always have a place in my heart. Words are inadequate to describe how grateful I am to have met you and to have you to be my treating doctor.

Rest in peace and my deepest condolences to your family.

Loved and remembered,
Doris & the Yuen’s Family

I was deeply saddened when I learned about the untimely passing of Dr. Doo. This is a big loss for all of us patients who were able to enjoy the professional, compassionate and high-quality care by Dr. Doo. He helped to bring so many new lives into this world, including my first born son. How beautiful, yet fragile our lives are.

May he Rest in Peace. My sincere condolences to the Doo family and everyone grieving this loss.

Cecilia and Michael Timso:

Dearest Dr Doo,

We are heartbroken and devastated to hear your sudden passing. You leave us too soon.
We still remembered you counted every first heartbeat with us of all our children.

Thank you so so very much for doing such an amazing job with smooth delivering our Isaac (1st March 2014), Isabella (10th Aug 2018) and baby Isla (30th July 2020)!

Thanks very much for taking great care of me and your professional advice on how to “hold longer” for all my big babies… I can’t do it without you and to be honest, you are the one I trust the most. From the water broke, contractions and delivery, all within one hour. It went so quick, I must say I had been so painful and scared this time! Luckily, you can arrive in time to deliver Isla…I feel very blessed everything you have done for our family. Every day of my life will be better because of you! You have touched thousands of people’s lives and we all thankful to have met such a great doctor.

A professional doctor with good clinical decision making, expert skill and easy-going manner is so rare and hard to find—luckily we found you!!
Your easy-going manner always help us to relax.
You always mention your wife and your two sons. We hope your sons will know how great and kind you are and you have touched and helped so many families. Our heartfelt condolences to your family. Hope you rest in peace in heaven.

Thank you, Dr Doo, for everything you did for our family. We will never forget you and your kindness. You will be missed dearly.

Cecilia and Michael Timso

Paul, Dyan & Marceau:

Dr Doo was a brilliant doctor who had a big voice and an even bigger heart. He helped us immensely in assisting and guiding us throughout our fertility journey. He was a precisionist and provided solutions to different families who yearned to have a small addition in their lives. He blessed us with the perfect little boy and we will forever be grateful for accepting us as clients and taking his valuable and meticulous time to ensure we have a successful process. He was one of a kind, an extraordinary person. We send our deepest condolences to his wife and kids and pray for the family and friends he has left behind. Thank you Dr Doo for all that you’ve done for us and the families you have blessed with your gift of helping produce the miracle of life.

Kanani:

Dear Dr. Doo,

It was great shock and sadness when we heard the news of your passing the day after the incident. We could not believe it is true. In the past 2 months, memories of our conversation pops up and I still remember all the advice and jokes that you’ve made. Thank you for being there for both our pregnancy and delivering healthy Reia & Connor. Fate has brought you into our lives and made such a huge impact on our lives.

Thanks for being there and led us in becoming calm new parents with no fear with all your answers to our uncertainties (and allowing me to eat anything when I question based on Chinese customs!) At the same time you have shown professionalism at all times, also a man of his word.

Thanks for rushing over to delivery our babies in the middle of your appointments, answering my call at 3am when I experienced my first contraction and didn’t know what to do. Thanks for rushing to the hospital in the middle of the night when the nurse called. Thanks for being such a cool doctor!

WIshing you a good rest until we meet again. Much love to the Doo family and the women’s clinic family. We feel home at the clinic feeling all the love and care from you.

Warmest Regards,
Kanani, Jason, Reia & Connor Wang

Sherry:

Dear Dr. Doo – you have been such an icon in Hong Kong that it’s hard to imagine a pregnancy story without you. Thank you for bringing our precious baby into this world. You were always so calm and humorous. May your journey onward be filled with all the love and happiness you have brought to others.

Hilda:

Dr Doo,

Thank you for your professionalism and kindness. Rest in paradise.

Vincent Lam:

My deepest condolences to Alex’s family. May he Rest in Peace

Michael Noronha:

…I’m so saddened as I was just thinking of Alex yesterday!!! My deepest condolences to the family. Alex was a very kind hearted and genuine person! ‘Alex, my friend, may you rest in peace. You will be remembered!’

Niki:

I’m sorry that I never said thank you to you properly. We have been so lucky! Unbelievably lucky to have met you!!
You are my mentor and a great boss, a friend even. The things that you have taught me throughout the years, I am forever grateful.
I am so sorry that I complained so much about work and stuff and yet you always listened and tried to work with me.
To learnt that you have left us, I was completely in shock and deeply saddened. Almost in denial. However, seeing you last night being peaceful and all, I hope you are ok on the other side. You deserve the best and I trust the universe has it’s own design for a great man like yourself.

You will be missed forever. Thank you for being here during all the difficult times.

With love,

Niki

The Hoff’s family:

We are shocked and sad to hear your passing. You were a wonderful doctor and very sincere and caring to all your patients. Thanks for everything you did. May you rest in peace. We will miss you Dr. Doo.

Frances Largent:

Just like everyone else, I was very shocked when I heard about that sad sad terrible news! Dr. Doo was the first fertility doctor that I was recommended and visited. He was a very charming doctor. I believe he is surrounded by all the baby angels now! And I I am sure he is still protecting and looking after his kids and wife… from up above! Thank you for helping and CREATING lots of happy happy families in Hong Kong!

Debbie Wong:

Jane Michael:

I was so deeply shocked and saddened to hear of Dr Doo’s passing. This incredible man gave up so much of his life so that others, like myself, could fully appreciate theirs. Dr Doo gave me two precious sons through IVF when I had lost hope of ever conceiving naturally. He comforted me as I lay on his table, losing my longed-for daughter through miscarriage. He hilariously performed my first egg extraction in skin tight, too-small scrubs that someone had mistakenly handed him. He came to the hospital in the middle of the night and then again an hour later, and another hour later to monitor my premature baby’s imminent, distressed arrival. He was and always will be such a huge part of my family’s story. I will never forget the sacrifices he and his family made so that his patients could live happy, full lives. All my love and condolences to his wife and children, his team, and all those whose lives he touched.

Lisa:

Dear Dr. Doo,

It is still hard to process my sadness that you are gone. I remember vividly when I visited you for the first time and till my last visit before I left Hong Kong. You were the doctor whom not just delivered my twins (Alexander and Vivian) into the world, also the best doctor I’ve ever met in my life. I will miss you very much. Rest In Peace.

Benson & Ethan’s Father:

It’s a gread shock for me and my family to receive your sad news！！！
I can’t believe it really happened!
Thank you for bringing the twins to my family!
Wish you happy everyday in paradise , You will always be in our hearts!

The Tangs:

It was such a great shock to learn about Dr Doo’s passing away. He has helped me through my two unstable pregnancies and he was my strongest spiritual support. We will never forget his wisdom and humour and such a talented and successful doctor! May he rest in peace and his family get through the sorrow.

Duncan, Kate, Alyssa & Gabi Mackay:

We are all deeply saddened to hear of the passing of this Great man. Dr Doo delivered both my girls safely and brilliantly. It is so sad that someone so skilled and successful at bringing new lives into this world would leave it too soon. He a made a positive difference to so many and may this be some small consolation to his family. We will hold you all in our thoughts and thank you Dr Alexander Doo, may you rest in peace with the knowledge you really were the best. xxx

Family Vaterlaus:

We are shocked and saddened by this news and our hearts go out to Dr Doo’s family and friends. Two years ago he bought our gorgeous daughter into this world, and from pregnancy to delivery, instilled confidence and trust in us. We fondly remember his professionalism and compassion, we will never forget his humorous side that put us at ease on many occasions.
He will forever be in our thoughts.

The Chow’s:

Dear Dr Doo,

I cannot put this in words… I am extremely shocked about your passing. I booked a regular checkup in June but couldn’t make it cause I was busy at work. I thought of you this morning and wanted to ring The Women’s Clinic for rescheduling. Then all of a sudden an email brought me this sad news. I realise there’s NO next appointment. Time doesn’t allow us to wait and reschedule.

You have always been so busy, diligent, full of life, working tirelessly for others. You used to say – call me anytime, anytime if you need. I remember the days when I was pregnant for the very first time and came to you with a billion questions. You would always answer my silly questions and your laughter would always brighten up the room. I don’t know if you will ever read this – but know that you will be forever missed. You’re one of a kind.

God please heal the pain of your loved ones.

You have worked really really hard all this time… rest in peace, my dear Dr Doo. Thank you for all that you do, and all the wonderful lives that you helped bring to this world.

Thank you, Dr Doo… Farewell

Karishma Sani:

I am so incredibly sad to hear about the passing of Dear Dr Doo. He was always so caring and accessible, always filling the room with a great laugh and sense of humor. I am devastated for his family and everyone at the Women’s clinic. I am so sorry for your loss. May the Lord grant you all the strength during this difficult time. The world needs more people and doctors like him.

The Wongs:

Dr Doo,

Your passing came as a shock to us. It is a timely reminder for all of us not to take things for granted. I’ve always thought that I could bring my kids in during one of my routine check ups and introduce them to you properly – the doctor that brought them into the world but this opportunity will now be lost forever

I may not be the most obedient patient (or so you said) but I definitely value your care and professionalism. Thank you for overseeing my pregnancies and for delivering my two girls – one came out smiling and the other “ambitious” I hope their unique entry to this world left an impression on you.

Our deepest condolences to your family. Wherever you are now Dr Doo, we hope you find peace and happiness.

Diana Mok:

Thank you Dr. Doo! Thank you for bring the most previous gift to us in our life! 一路好走!

Jenny:

Miss you. 永遠記得你嘅專業和幽默。

Chris together with Geoff, Gretchen and Astor:

To the family of Dr Alex Doo, and his colleagues and staff at The Women’s Clinic and Matilda Hospital,

I’ve just learnt of Dr. Doo’s premature and sudden passing and it is heart-breaking! I’m so very sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest and sincerest condolences.

I’m remembering my very first consultation with Dr. Doo and the resulting trust; his sense of humour; his calm assurance and large warm hands while I was lying there in the cold spartan theatre scared and agitated by the emergency early termination of the twins that I was carrying; his tender loving care and nurturing work over my subsequent successful pregnancies and deliveries; allowing the play of Tango music during my son’s delivery; his roaring laugh; the seamless care between him and my Singapore gynaecologist; his excellent bedside manner and sutures which gave the best wound heal 12 years on, etc. Beyond birth, there were numerous enjoyable visits with Dr. Doo chatting about parenting, schools, continual care and well-being. I am and will always be grateful for him making it all possible and bringing life. He will always be missed.

May you Rest In Peace, Dr. Doo.

Maggie:

It completely shocked me to hear the passing of Dr Doo, whom I consider to be a very successful and patient oriented gynaecologist and one of the tip IVF doctors in HK, gone too young. RIP Dr Doo.

Rachel, Andy, Micah and Naomi:

Dear Dr Doo,

One of my most vivid memories during my IVF journey with you was sitting in the crowded waiting room one evening, waiting for my appointment. There was a woman sitting behind me, clutching a thick folder of medical records, saying over and over: “Doctor Doo is my last hope. He’s my LAST. HOPE.”

I don’t know what happened with that woman but for me, Dr Doo was not my last hope but my best one, the doctor who made our dreams come true and our family complete. Despite the enormous pressure on him, he never lost his warmth and compassion and sense of humour.

Thank you Dr Doo for everything you did for us. Rest in peace knowing that you made a huge difference.

Mrs & Mr Li:

杜醫生多謝你！

大約10年前我們第一次在明德醫院見面。
我和太太都低着頭，心情低落的等着醫生的到來。那天你穿着手術袍回到你的房前，深深感受到杜醫生每日都非常忙碌，也抽出時間見找你幫忙的人。

是杜醫生把我家兩個小朋友帶來這個世界，這些年來兩夫妻閑談也不時會說起，以前去到醫生處複診以及生產時的點點滴滴。杜醫生是絕對值得尊敬的，因為你是我們見過最好的醫生。把「好」提升到去了另外一個層次。提醒了人什麼是專業，診所來內其他醫生及姑娘都是帶着杜醫生相同的精神，讓病人每一次都有愉快的感覺。

杜醫生幫助了很多很多絕望的家庭，也心靈脆弱的得到力量。陪伴我們渡過難關。求上天能安撫杜醫生一家人的心靈。

永遠懷念你。

Anna, Tennie, Esme (5), Tyler (3):

Dearest Doo Doo,
I got teary eyes every time when I think about the fact that you’re already gone. It was so hard to believe especially when I’m from afar. I still remember seeing you before I left the Kong for the States and you were still the same old funny and loving guy as you’ve always been – suggested me to go find the Mexican to take care of my kids.
I was one of the craziest lady who cried in front of you when I found out my first baby was a girl, I was also the one who came to the clinic almost everyday during the last few weeks before Tyler was born. I didn’t really have difficulties or anything in particular problematic during my pregnancies, but I know all these was because I have you, the very best good hands that I could possibly have in the world, for both my deliveries. I always have a special acquainted feeling on you, as you’re so dependable and yes, your loud and strong voice. There were moments I feel proud when I saw your name as my doctor on the tag next to my door in the hospital as I truly see you as the best in town. I dearly miss you, it’s really really sad to make myself believe that you’re forever gone.
Mrs Doo, I’ve never met you but I do hope you can stay strong, my prayers for you and your sons. Dr Doo is a great man who did a lot of great great things. He’s much loved by everyone, and forever lives in our heart.

It’s very difficult to process the news of your passing. You were a very special, one of a kind doctor.

Michelle Lam & the Cheung’s family:

Dearest Dr. Doo,

We heard about this tragic news of the loss of you from our pediatrician, we are shocked and saddened.

In 2016, you made our family, and brought us a cute little baby boy to this world. We are truly in hearts thankful for your helpfulness, profession, and walking through the journey of pregnancy with us.

You were the best obstetrician and gynecologist ever and forever. We will never forget your smile, kindness and sense of humor.

Dr. Doo, rest in peace and our condolences to your family.

Sending with deepest regards,
Michelle Lam, the Cheung’s family

多謝你早兩個月幫我做手術令我安心

希望你在天家一切安好

Becky Wong, Eric Lee, Clayton (6), Claire (4) and Charlotte (4):

I am with deep sadness as I am writing this eulogy today. Dr Doo cared for me during my two pregnancies and delivered Clayton. He was charismatic and personable, and he always made me felt calm and relaxed during the entire process.

He made impossible became possible for me and a lot of other patients. We can never thank him enough for giving me and my husband the greatest gifts – our 3 beautiful children. I still remember Dr Doo finished putting back my last two embryos, he told me get ready for twins and he was right!

We will keep him and his family in our prayers. We trust that Dr Doo is resting in peace in God’s arms.

Christine Hsu:

Dear Dr. Doo,

I was devastated to hear of your passing and you will be greatly missed. Thank you for giving our family a new baby angel who was born just three weeks after you left us. You were the best doctor through my IVF and pregnancy process and I could not have done it without you. I remember coming to see you at 42 years old about having another baby and you said “what are you waiting for?”. You always gave honest and frank advice with a good dose of humour. And when I had a pregnancy scare, you saw me right away within 30 minutes on a Sunday night at 9pm. Thank you so much for all your dedication, expertise and kind heart that you gave to me and all of your patients. I know your family will be blessed with all of the joy that you have brought into this world to so many people. Rest in peace.

Lo’s family:

Dear Dr Doo

We’re deeply saddened and shocked to learn of your passing. You are such a great doctor and a kind gentleman. Words cannot describe our appreciation for your professionalism in the delivery of our two children, and your guidance throughout the pregnancy journey. You will be greatly missed and it is definitely a big loss to the profession. Our deepest condolences to your family.

Rest in peace! Thank you for everything.

The Lo’s family

JT:

We will be forever grateful to Dr. Doo, because of him we became parents, he was there with us from day one til our son was born, so we have a forever connection with him, he was so nice and really have a good bedside manner, we will never forget you! you may rest now! thank you Dr. Doo

Nyree Hu & Sohit Khurana:

Dear Dr. Doo,

You were my doctor for over 12 years and saw me through egg freezing to the birth of our Son on your birthday no less. I’m sorry we never got to share that bottle of Bordeaux…

Although you could dish out tough love at times, I never doubted the genuine care you had for your patients.

You will be greatly missed. May you rest in eternal peace knowing that you left the world a better place for all the families you helped to build. Your legacy will live on in all the souls you safely delivered during your all too short time with us in this world.

Our heartfelt sympathy to your family and your colleagues,

Nyree & Sohit

Charas Ong:

Dear Alex,
Deeply saddened still. You were my great colleague and friend for many years, and you will be dearly missed. My deepest condolences to your family – to your wife and sons, your father and your sisters.
Rest in peace my dear friend.

CY:

R.I.P.

Mai Moriya:

Still, we can’t and don’t want to believe Dr. Doo’s passing. He guided my husband and myself through our happiest moment of life of pregnancy and birth for my two children. It was only one day after we moved to HK, that I met him for the first time, but I was really sure of his reliable professionalism. And he really was such a great doctor with braveness and determination.
From our much greatfulness to Dr. Doo, we named our son Alexander, after him in 2018.

He will be missed but will always be in our heart. My condolences will go to Dr. Doo and his family.

Dr Doo, 你突然離開真係太難接受了永遠都會記得你嘅善良，幽默，認真同專業。。當初小產幾次，最後多謝你將我兩個仔平安咁帶到黎呢個世界，仲記得係產房你仲專登開意大利歌比我老公聽，驚佢會暈低。你話過兩個仔係屋企會好嘈架，我依家明白啦。希望你家人可以堅強走過傷痛，我同老公會永遠懷念你…R.I.P Dr Doo

Joanne, Bill and Evelyn:

Dear Dr Doo,

We are so shocked and saddened by the news of your passing. Our deepest condolences to your family.

From the bottom of our hearts we would like to thank you for all you have done for us. Without your guidance and expertise, we would not be where we are now. You have helped us overcome so many obstacles and for that we are forever grateful.

You will be missed dearly.

The Sam’s Family, Janelle(10), Jania(3), Jennife & Andy:

親愛的Dr Doo,

我今天從Dr. Chiu 才得知你突然離世，真係好難接受這個事實，我的眼淚忍不住流下。你是一個敬業樂業又專業又有醫德又細心又幽默又善良又可靠的醫生，你是一個如果病人流血就如你心入面流血一樣緊張擔心的一個醫生。雖然已經是3年前及10年前的事，但你的笑聲你的聲線仍歷歷在目，仍記得每次覆診見你，每次同你傾談都是輕鬆愉快放心安心的。

我仍記得我生完大女回你診所覆診，你幫我檢查傷口及乳腺發炎，我在你面前大喊，你同我講，生BB是一件開心的事，不應該這樣，其實而家啲formula已經好好，叫我不用擔心，而且仲話如果我唔開心，BB都唔會開心。你令我對餵母乳釋懷，不再給自己太大壓力，而且remind 我留意自己情緒及產後抑鬱。

到懷上細女期間，有一次我不小心滑倒，但我沒有立即找你檢查，我等到下一次例行檢查時才告訴你，你好認真同我講，如果再有這些意外，一定一定要找你，就算是半夜或假期都要找你。你認真工作態度，永遠站在我們及BB的安危，犧牲自己休息的時間，真的令人非常之敬佩。

每次有人叫我介紹婦產科醫生，我都一定是介紹你。醫學界少了你一個那麼出色的醫生真的很可惜。多謝你帶給很多家庭能夠有圓滿幸福快樂。

希望你在天堂好好休息，繼續你的幽默風趣！我們永遠懷念你！

希望杜太及兩個仔仔節哀順變，好好保重身體！

Love,
The Sam Family, Janelle(10),Jania(3), Jennifer & Andy.

Iris & Simon:

Dear Dr Doo,

Words cannot express our sadness. We were so shocked to learn about this sad news. You were a wonderful and caring doctor. Thank you so much for your caring during my pregnancy. Rest In Peace.

Zoe, Steve and Kalea:

Dear Dr Doo,

We are so sad to learn of your passing. When we came to see you in early 2019, we had already suffered 5 miscarriages and had all but lost hope of having children. You investigated our issues and gave us a diagnosis that no other doctor could explain. When we proceeded with IVF with you and got pregnant after a first try, you took such great care of me during my pregnancy – you responded quickly to every frantic and stressed out call and pager beep even on a Sunday late night. We followed your game plan and diligently took every medication you gave us and followed all your medical advice, now we have a beautiful 17 month old daughter who wouldn’t have been here if not for your diagnosis, your subsequent treatment and care. You gave us hope and you delivered on that hope. You gave us a daughter we would never have had, had we not made a decision to seek your medical opinion. For that, we will always be grateful. You will be sorely missed. Rest in peace, Dr Doo.

Janice:

Dr Doo

Might you be in rest and peace. My condolences to you and your sons.

Because of your encouragement and positivity, I am inspired to study med school in Glasgow. I will work hard and I hope you can see me achieving it one day.

Joanne, Bill and Evelyn:

Dr Doo

Might you be in rest and peace. My condolences to you and your sons.

Because of your encouragement and role modelling, I am inspired to study med school in Glasgow. I will work hard and I hope you can see me achieving it one day.

Jen Earnshaw & Family:

We have always told people that Dr Doo was the perfect doctor for us when we had our son; his unsurpassed expertise and dry sense of humour made every visit interesting and enjoyable. And he loved seeing the babies that he had delivered and was so proud of the wall of baby photos he had back in the old clinic – when I mentioned it a couple of months ago, his face lit up (“You remember that!”).

Although I saw Dr Doo many times over the years after giving birth to my son, my favourite memory was bringing him in for an appointment when he was 16 months old. Dr Doo put him on his lap, let him play with the machines, and then my son took Dr Doo’s hand and walked him all around the clinic. It was so joyful to watch.

I was shocked and heartbroken to hear of Dr Doo’s passing. It was only a few days earlier that we had been sharing Netflix recommendations, talking about his family and had a great “Who’s on First” moment when the nurse answered his phone at his instruction during my appointment (“I said, ‘ten’,” he laughed, “Not 聽!”).

We send our deepest, heartfelt condolences to his family. Thank you for sharing him with us, and so many other families in Hong Kong. Our thoughts will be with you, always. We are also thinking of the doctors and nurses at the clinic and hospital, for whom this is also a huge loss. Rest in Peace, Dr Doo.

Janice Lai:

Dear Dr. Doo,
We still couldn’t believe that you are not with us anymore. You delivered all three of our children from 2007 – 2017 and during the so many check ups and consultations, you were always patient, supportive and encouraging. We couldn’t imagine what would happen if we didn’t have you to be our obstetrician. May you rest in peace and wishing your family comfort and strength in the weeks and months ahead.
The Aus

Rachel Davies:

Dr Doo was a wonderful, caring and professional Dr. I will be forever grateful to him for bringing my twins into this world. So very sad to hear of his passing and my condolences to his family.

Shirley and the family:

Dearest Dr Doo,

Words cannot express my sadness! Without your helped, my first son, Remus, couldn’t come to the world and be my son! You were the light to our family and who leaded the way on my IVF path!

Magda & Aleks:

Dear Dr Doo,

We were really shocked and heartbroken to learn about your sudden and so premature passing. Although we have only known you for a few months, you were by far the best Doctor we have ever come across – most patient, caring, positive and always in good spirits. It really felt like everything will be fine in the end, with you supporting and guiding us! Judging by the number of testimonies already left here and all the recommendations we have found when searching for our doctor, I can only imagine how many couples and families you must have helped! I’m sure your memory will always live on – through your patients and the wonderful staff at the Women’s Clinic you left behind. Rest in Peace Doctor Doo!

Dear Family of Dr Doo and all his colleagues,

Please accept our deepest condolences. We cannot even imagine how hard it must be to carry on without Dr Doo – your husband, father, friend, colleague, boss. We’re sure he’s still there with all of you, in your hearts. Please stay strong and take care of yourselves!

Ulrike Ehmer:

Dear Dr. Doo,
We were so shocked and saddened by the news… You were a rock and angel to so many families. We are forever grateful for your support throughout our difficult journey. You were always there. Always calm professional and kind with great humour.
We will always remember you and I was always hoping that you would meet Oskar again once we return to Hong Kong.
We miss you, R.I.P.,
Ulrike, Thomas & Oskar

Jennifer & Leonard: *

Towards the end of my second pregnancy when my obs suddenly turned me away from natural birth option, you were the only doctor who was willing to take me in, and with confidence and compassion that we are still most grateful of. You shed light on us during our desperate time, and lead us through with such kindness and support that will always be remembered. Although you missed my youngest’s arrival by a day, I wanted to let you know that if you have not taken me for my second child, I’d not have become a mother of three.
You have been the most amazing doctor we have met, and it hurts so much to many of us that you are gone – you have completed so many families and have touched so many hearts during your stay here. You will be sorely missed.
Forever grateful,
Jennifer, Leonard, Keira, Kyros & Kiana

Rachel:

Doctor Doo,
You are not just a doctor to patients but also an angel to patients. Whenever I’m not feeling well, you always respond quickly and keep me well! You are the so passionate to being a doctor to keep your patient safe, you always stay super positive , cheerful and helpful. It’s a great loss for the society to lose a person like you. You helped so many families all around the world. I’m sure they all appreciated like me do too! And you’re such a good father, whenever you talked about your sons and your wife, you look so happy! I hope your sons are smart and kind-hearted like you. And god bless your family, arm your family with strength. You never leave us, your spirit is in
our hearts always. I’m definitely you’re in heaven with joy. Thank you for taking care of me, my son and my daughter, with your care and help, we’re all doing so well. Missing your laughter a lot. Your sense of humour will be always in my heart. And I definitely know you wish everyone who misses you doing well and treasuring family like you do.

親愛的杜醫生，

知道你去咗另一個世界，好難接受，相信有無數咁多人會為你離開傷心和難過，你為人認真、專業盡責、善良、幽默又有風度，太多要讚美你嘅說話要同你講⋯你實在太值得大家愛戴！一定有好多人都同我一樣，好期望產檢時見到你同你傾計。

2016年我們認識，你幫我做IVF生咗細女，每次產檢都同你傾小朋友學業，小學點解啲課程教得咁深，每次笑笑下，十分鐘又過咗，我陀細女好辛苦，臨到開刀時，你問我喊咩，你叫我唔好再喊，我震到你開唔到刀：）細女一出世，你拉佢出嚟，你話佢「肥到冇頸，巨B」佢依家4歲半好可愛，我成日心裡面都好多謝你，好想帶佢見你。

去年年尾，突然自然懷孕，陀到五個月，你發覺bb發展唔正常，要幫我自然留產。我感覺你同我一樣傷心，我當然非常難過，但有你專業照顧讓我好安慰。你星期六放假早、晚都嚟睇我，星期日一早又嚟同我檢查，我不停多謝你，怕打擾你假期，你當日著得好有型，一定係同太太、仔仔過咗個好開心嘅週末。

好想話俾你仔仔聽，爸爸除咗醫術高明，仲宅心仁厚，對人彬彬有禮，幫助了無數家庭，好有醫德！

之前你哋放假，爸爸講笑話學費咁貴但又冇得番學，其實佢見到你哋依家讀書開心，再貴都願意。

我手術後覆診，佢話你哋當天上機準備開學，搞咗一輪，啱啱先上到飛機，我講笑話：咪好囉，依家輕鬆晒，唔洗湊仔，但我望到你爸爸嘅眼神係唔捨得你哋，就知佢係幾愛你哋。

希望杜太一家節哀順變，杜醫生安息！

Rachel & Kyle Ashbolt:

To Dr Doo, his family, and all the amazing staff at the Women’s Clinic and IVF Clinic,

We are both so grateful and so sad to hear of Dr Doo’s passing. Even with time, the significant loss of your family member and beloved colleague will not go away but rather change in each of the people that he impacted. We were so lucky to call Dr Doo our Doctor. He was hands-down the most compassionate doctor that we have known and for us his loss is significant and he will always be in our memory as the doctor that shifted how we thought about reproductive health and families. We can’t imagine how you are all suffering the impact of his absence.

To Dr Doo, thank you so much for everything you gave us, that you sacrificed to your patients and your family, and thank you forever for all of the support you poured into us. Even after you are gone it is clear that you have instilled in everyone you work with an ethic and a bar to be reached. We will never forget you.

Our Love,
The Ashbolts

Grace Du and Family:

惊闻杜医生去世的消息，悲痛万分。您给我和家庭带来了欢乐，我们怀念您！

欧建平医生:

惊悉尊敬的杜医生逝世，甚为悲痛！96年来香港大学读书，在香港妇产科学会开会的时候认识杜医生，以后在多次来港参加学术会议时都见到他活跃的身影。他人非常好，有活力、讲课很有激情。他对患者很nice.我有多个大陆的患者介绍给他，他都热情服务，得到患者的高度评价。杜医生的离开，是患者的巨大损失，是同行的损失。祝杜医生一路走好，想念您。

Tsang’s family:

Dearest Dr Doo,
When I heard the bad news of your death, I was very grieved, You are the best doctor I have ever seen. You gave me a little Angel. Without you, there would be no my daughter Filarie.
She is now seven years old and I will be cherish the gift you gave me, they hope you can rest in heaven.
Love
Roy, Priscilla and Filarie

Kitty.C ai:

Xue family:

We were so saddened to hear this shocking news of you passed away. Just can’t believe it. Thank you Dr Doo for delivering all three of my wonderful children. Especially my third one, my son which you delivered this Year in January. It was not an easy birth but with your expertise and professionalism it went smoothly. A brilliant doctor, caring and always likes to joke. We will always remember you.
Our deepest sympathies to your family and friends.

Cookie Leung:

我同老公都好難接受你離開嘅消息，太多人都要多謝你，又太多人都唔捨得你。

2016年細女出世，因為陀佢好辛苦？所以開刀時我喊到收唔到聲，你叫我唔好再喊，再喊就開唔到刀，你一抽bb出嚟，你話佢肥到冇頸
。
剛剛12月發現意外懷孕，知道係仔，又同你夾計玩老公，產檢時又成日傾你兩個公仔近況。

最後陀到五個月BB發現不正常要終止懷孕，我淚流滿面不停喊，你又要安慰我。老實講，邊個醫生想接呢啲case.

去明德做手術星期六入院你早、晚來睇我和接生，星期日你7:00又再來，擔心你冇得放假休息，我不停同你講多謝你照顧我～你話我好有禮貌，我話你好有醫德，你問我點解知你有醫德？我心諗呢啲事實人人都知。

送咗條領太俾你，你話一定會帶，你幫咗無數家庭帶愛嚟呢個世界，你醫術高明、風趣幽默，你離開係病人同醫學界重大損失。

覆診時提起你對公仔，你話佢哋今日上機要準備開學，我話：「咁你輕鬆晒啦！」～唔洗湊，但我見到你面露不捨表情，就知你幾咁愛錫佢哋！

好醫生、好爸爸、在天國好好休息！你對寶貝仔一定會好生性、好叻仔，愛鍚媽媽，你唔洗擔心！一路好走！最心哋善良好醫生！

Yang:

It is such a sad day today hearing this heart breaking news. We will always remember Dr. Doo, me, my husband Tad and our boys Jake and Aiden, whom were brought to life by Dr. Doo 13 and 11 years ago. He is the one of the best doctor we have ever seen.

Bessie:

Dear Dr Doo
Thank you for convincing me to keep my boy, it was really a big talk between us. without you there won’t be my lovely son now. I wish you rest in peace and you will be remembered by us…

Grainne:

You changed our lives. Brought hope back in and gave us a family and took me through some difficult pregnancies. I pray for your family who must miss you so much.

Cholewka’s:

For 3 years my husband and I saw him every week or skip a week. He was a big part of our life through our IVF journey and the delivery of our son; always knew if he was coming to the examining room vs the nurses, you could hear his footsteps and laugh. I would never forget how encouraging and positive Dr. Doo was along with Nurse Louise, whenever we had to do an implant he would joke with me and say did you pray! (he knew I was religious). And when we had our miscarriage he was the most kind, compassionate, and empathized with us. He gave us time to grieve and told us to not worry and that good things happen to good people. And when our son was born he said SEE What did I tell you. Dr Doo is a legend. Mrs. Doo and boys, he always talked about you guys. I know he loved you all so so much. And It’s hard and sad that he is not here, just remember he may not be here physically but he will always be with you watching over you; Like a Angel. And when you look up at the stars he will be THAT bright shining star shining upon you.

EN, SC and LC:

Dear Dr Doo

We are shocked and heartbroken to learn of your passing. We are forever grateful to you. Thank you for your knowledge, expertise, advice, care and kindness during a very challenging time in our lives and thank you for delivering our precious son to us. You helped us achieve a miracle which we never thought was possible as other doctors have tried and failed. You are the best doctor ever and will be sadly missed. We would like to extend our deepest condolences to your family. Rest in peace Dr Doo.

Yvonne:

Charlotte Burr:

Dear Dr Doo’s family

My husband and I heard the terrible news last week. We are devastated at the cruelty of life taking such a great person at such a young age. Dr Doo had a huge impact in our lives and community – much more than any of us can ever hope for. These letters and memories are testament to that. He often spoke of his family and boys. We even named our youngest after him. Many tears shed in our family for your husband and father. Our sincere condolences to you all. We feel a huge gap knowing he isn’t with us. I can only imagine how you’re feeling.

Our thoughts are with you,

Charlotte

Your eyes gave us hope.,

You walked us through the dark,
You showed us the light,
You saved us from despair.
We remember you.

You left us all of a sudden, yet
You left us love.
You left your beautiful love to all of us.
We’ll always remember you.

Now, put on the wings and fly.
Your magnificent glow shines in our
darkest nights.

Sweet dreams Alex, sweet dreams,

Carmen Au Yeung:

Dearest Dr Doo,

I was shocked and deeply saddened by the news of your passing. I still can’t believe that you are gone. I saw you before I left Hong Kong and I still remembered you said you will let me know on your next visit to London.

You have been my doctor for well over 16 years. You are wonderfully compassionate and really takes the time to address my concerns. I cannot tell you how relieved I was to have you as my doctor.

Thank you for your exceptional care during my problematic pregnancies. The delivery of the most precious gifts of my life was because of you.

You are truly an awesome doctor who touched so many people’s lives over the years, your legacy will live on forever in our hearts. You will always be missed with kindness and respect. Rest in peace, Dr Doo!

Sending my deepest sympathy and sincere condolences to your family from London.

Lauren and Mark Winskill:

Dr Doo,
Words cannot adequately express the gratitude we feel for you for helping us bring Murphy Blue into our lives. You helped us through the darkest of times and gave us the ultimate gift. We are so thankful for your family for sacrificing their precious family time with you so that you could be there for (and help create) so many other families. We are so sorry to have lost you so suddenly and we will miss you endlessly. If there is another baby in our future, the name Alex might finally have to feature. We should have taken your advice last time! All our love, rest in peace. L+M x

Alice Chan:

得知杜醫生突然離世，悲憤莫名，腦海不斷浮現與杜醫生在診所、醫院見面的每個瞬間。很感恩能遇上杜醫生，是杜醫生拯救了我的女兒。

在懷孕15周產檢時幸得杜醫生及時發現胎兒水腫，並即時轉介我到林勇行醫生做詳細檢查，才知悉胎兒因我感染了parvovirus而貧血。在林醫生的幫助下到了第一所醫院進行第一次宮內輸血，轉介信上建議臍帶輸血，可時當時醫生檢查後說臍帶太幼，只能選擇打針入胎兒心臟或肚，並要我即場決定。在病床上惶恐時致電杜醫生，還記得你聽到後十分激動，說胎兒怎承受得住打針入心臟。衡量風險後，我選擇了打針入肚。術後幾天回到杜醫生診所檢查，杜醫生發現胎兒情況嚴重，並幫我再聯絡林醫生，才能及時到威院見梁德楊教授並成功透過臍帶輸血。沒有杜醫生，我女兒無法得到林醫生同梁教授的幫助。我女兒能在杜醫生手中來到這個世界，是多大的福氣。在產後檢查時，杜醫生看到我在感謝卡上讚美他是心地善良的醫生，杜醫生還笑著說「你又知我心地善良」。

仁心仁術的杜醫生，願你在天堂安息無數得到你幫助的家庭會永遠懷念你！希望杜醫生的家人早日釋懷

Such a tragic loss and taken far too soon Dr Doo. It is evident from all the messages and the broken hearts just how many people you touched and had such an impact on. Such a special, unique and gifted person who selflessly gave so much to so many. You effortlessly cared for all of us like we were the only ones, and the skill, dedication and passion that took was astounding. You’ll remain in our hearts forever and our children are here because of the wonderful things you did. Rest in peace and know you were a hero to so many.

Cortney Wu:

Dear Dr Doo

Still up until now I cannot believe your passing and still hoping that at my next annual check, you will still be there. Been to your Vigil and finally had to accept the fact you are gone,， I know you somehow are still there, in a happier place, looking after your family and us. You are the angel sent by God so that we can have Connor. Throughout our IVF treament, You neve gave up on us and continued the journey with us for 4 years. You further saved my life the night i gave birth where it was critical condition at Maltida and you had to rush from your dinner with your family to treat me… we cannot thank you and your family enough. Please rest in peace and you will be missed dearly. You will always be on our mind.

Cortney Wu and Eugene Hong

The Wong Family:

To the Family of Dr. A. Doo,

We offer our deepest condolences to you during this difficult time. Dr. Doo guided our family during our most difficult times and successfully helped bring in our blessed child. We are sadden by the sudden loss, taken from this earth far too early. But in our heart, we know he’s in heavens light.
May he Rest In Peace.

Flora, Mason and Kason

Anna Park:

Thank you Dr.Doo for being there when my two children were born. There was time being when I had to see you so often with various small or big problems . You helped me through that stressful time and assure me that I was in good hands. It is shame I can’t introduce my kids to you, the guy who brought them out into the world. Rest in peace. Thank you for everything

Sameena, Daniel Bogler and our son Tristan:

Dear Alex,
We cannot believe that you are gone. We are shocked and in disbelief at the news.

Fourteen years ago you gave life to our son. His arrival gave our world true meaning. You shaped the history of thousands of us. You did the most important job there is. You turned ordinary women and men into mothers and fathers. Your dedication and care and willingness never to give up allowed so many of us to learn that love for another person is the love that really matters. We cannot believe the world has lost you. Just when it most needs to hold tight to the meaning of family and goodness and morality. You were a truly good man doing the work of the angels.

Our journey to having our son was long and complicated. We went all over the world for help before finding you. You were the only doctor never to give up on us – who was willing to keep helping despite failure after failure. You were realistic – sometimes you must have rolled your eyes at my anxiety and requests for tests and checks – but you never gave up. Never. You were positive and cheerful, keeping us going through many dark times. In your eyes there was always kindness and humanity. We saw your true love of children and your understanding of what family meant. You knew why we kept trying, time after time.

When we told you, after all our efforts over almost two years succeeded, my delivery would have to be in London because of my work, you remonstrated: “I wanted to deliver this baby!” I wish I had stayed in Hong Kong for that; I quit my job the moment I saw my son.

We wrote to you every Christmas with a card with pictures of Tristan another year older and brought him to see you when we came back. You created our family’s history and you always will be part of our story. And our son, and, god-willing, his children will hold you in their hearts and minds too.

Our thoughts and sorrow are for your wife and your two boys, who you spoke about with such warmth. The world has lost a great doctor and a truly good man.

Sameena, Daniel and Tristan

Wai Yu:

Doctor Doo,

Through your profession you have made the world a much better place, for so many people. We are forever grateful.

Paul Malam & Lillian Xia:

Dr. Doo,

You helped us through both pregnancies and, put simply, without you, our beloved daughter would not be here. What greater legacy can a man have than saving life and bringing it into the world. On that measure, your time counted for so much. Thank you.

Paul & Lillian

YanYin and family:

收到診所信息真的非常震驚完全不敢相信，很心痛很遺憾未能來得及跟您說聲感謝！因為有您，我們迎來了寶貝女兒家庭迎來了新的生命！感謝杜醫生！真的很感謝！我們會永遠記得您的幫助，記得您的幽默及您高尚的醫德！多謝您願您在另一個世界一切安好

Virginia Ng:

I always remember your kind words and lovely smile. Thank you very much for your encouragement and support.

Angling (Wu’s family):

杜醫生：

近年在日本生活的我，今天和奶奶通電話。她突然傷心地告訴我，杜醫生已離開的消息。剛聽到「離開」兩字，難以相信！於是追問她，「離開」是什麼意思？當肯定後，實在難受！

距離生完龍鳳胎，已有十二年了。奇怪奶奶怎會知道杜醫生的事情。原來今天她有事經過中建大廈，想起你，卻又忘了你在哪一層樓。回家立刻google 一下，才發現你已不在。

她老人家很喜歡你，我整個懷孕過程，她都陪在我身邊，你的幽默風趣和親和力也感染了她。每次說起你都笑不攏嘴，經常一提到「咖哩」事件，便答哈哈，說沒見過那麼風趣的醫生。記得我懷孩子時真不容易，老沒胃口。偶爾想起咖哩雞飯（平時沒怎麼特別喜歡），覺得吃得進去。可奶奶反對，她擔心咖哩會對寶寶有不良的影響。我只能半夜溜到樓下便利店買「咖哩雞飯」吃，事後奶奶當然不太高興了。可我吃過後，以後還想繼續吃。便趁覆診時，於奶奶陪同下，問你我能否吃咖哩飯？你答到：「懷孕時吃咖哩，孩子出世之後身上是不會有咖哩味的，放心吃吧！」短短一句話，讓我們都如釋重負！之後，我盡情地享受咖哩的味道。如今，我的兩個孩子雖然都愛吃咖哩，身上卻的確沒有咖哩的味道。

難以想像很多女人為何可以輕輕鬆鬆地生孩子，自己在懷孕過程中，身體不是這問題便那問題沒完沒了似的。然而，每次見完杜醫生，便像叉了電般精神起來。有時杜醫生只是幫我做普通的檢查，聊聊日常生活，完了就嘻嘻哈哈心滿意足地回家，電力便能維持一段日子。去診所時需要家人攙扶著，離開時神奇地步伐穩健。老公也笑話我，差不多便可以到杜醫生那兒叉叉電了。

杜醫生，Requiescat in pace. 杜醫生家人節哀順變，杜醫生曾是人間天使，現為天堂天使，他會守護著你們的，他的愛永在。

Anita Davis:

Dr. Doo was an incredible man who made an enormous contribution to our family. Dr. Doo was the attending doctor at Matilda Hospital in the early hours of Sept. 19, 2018. We experienced an extreme emergency that could have threatened the life of our precious son had Dr. Doo not authoritatively performed rapid surgery to deliver him. Dr. Doo, as the doctor on call, witnessed our distress, stepped in, and ultimately brought our family life, health, and peace.

We are forever grateful to Dr. Doo. He remains in our thoughts, and we extend our love to his dear family.

With Love,
The Dewitte Family

JANE LEUNG:

新愛的杜醫生，
我到今天才知道你的離去，心情實在久久不能平復。
回想你剛從英國回來我就一路睇你，眨吓眼已經有接近20年。上年被你診斷我患上癌症，經過一年後已痊愈，一直都打算去診所找你，讓你知道你當初臨床診斷是正確，只係一直拖住，到今天再沒有機會了！實在後悔不已！

希望你的家人能夠早日走出悲傷，希望你在天國也得到安息。

Alice & Gary (Oliver and Joshua):

To the family of Dr Alex Doo, and staff at The Women’s Clinic and Matilda Hospital:

We are so sad and heart-broken to hear of Dr Doo’s passing. Words cannot describe how we feel. Please accept our deepest and sincerest condolences.

Alex was always warm and bright with a great sense of humour. He accompanied me through my two pregnancies (and beyond) and I was confident that I was in the best of hands. He was caring, patient and full of understanding. At the birth of my two sons, my husband was not in the delivery room at Matilda so it was Alex who cheered me on. For this I will always be grateful. I still remember him bringing his oldest son to do the rounds on the weekend when my older one was born in 2007. I have many warm and happy memories of him.

To his family, we are so very sorry for your loss. In time, please take comfort knowing that your husband and father deeply touched our lives and those of so so many more. He was an amazing doctor and much loved by us, his patients. He will always be missed.

May he Rest In Peace.

Vivien Lam:

剛想把你介紹給一個朋友做IVF，上網找你的電話驚見你逝世的消息。謝謝你帶給了我兩個孩子，給我們夫婦帶來了歡樂。願你一路走好！

Cynthia:

Dear Dr. Doo,

手術前2天突然收到你離世的噩耗，真的非常難過。多謝你過去半年的照顧。你的風趣，智慧，耐心的講解都讓人很不捨，是我遇過最好的ivf醫生。相逢恨晚，沒能夠從你手上完成整個療程覺得很可惜。希望你主懷安息，也願安慰與平安祝福保守杜醫生的家人。

Andria, Florence & Alex:

We are very sad to hear about your departure. Without you, we will not receive the heavenly precious gift Andria from God. You are like an Angel to our family. You gave us so much hope, joy, happiness and future. Words cannot express our gratitude.

I trust God has the perfect plan to everyone and you are now rest in peace with our God. Pray that your family will become strong and independent. Most importantly hold onto all the good memories of their wonderful and respectful husband and dad. We will miss your humour, positive energy and profession to bring lives to countless hopeless families. We will teach our daughter Andria about your life story. You will be her inspiration and energy to bring hope and precious life to the world. May God bless your spirit and your family.

In Christ,
Lee Family

Vicky Li:

多謝你帶給我仔仔生命，我全家人非常感激你，希望你一路好走。

Coate Family:

The saddest of sad losses – all our thoughts and to your family who have lost the most wonderful of humans

Dr Doo – thank you for caring for me and our family. You kept me and our babies safe through scary and complicated times – always smiling and patient through every visit (and there were SO many).

I’ll always remember with a smile the big “Hello!” heard long before you entered any room – the world is a lesser place in your passing. Rest in peace x

Sophy and Allen:

Dear Dr. Doo,

I was so shock and sad when hearing the bad news. Thanks for bringing Michelle and Cynthia to the world and hope you rest in peace and bless you and your beloved ones.

Leslie Edwin & Ashton:

杜醫生, A life too short. IVF係一個不容易行嘅道路, 10年過去重記得你嘅搞笑幽默, 認真嘅專業判斷, 充滿智慧嘅鼓勵, 都歷歷在目。冇你真係捱唔倒落去, 就唔會有我地嘅寶貝仔仔。我相信有好多好多家庭都同我一樣因着你而圓滿。你會永遠喺我地嘅心入面。
Our deepest condolences to your family and friends. May you rest in peace.

P&M Family:

Dear Dr Doo
你是一位好醫生, 很高興能認識你。在生育過程中感謝你守護照顧我們, 如今女兒已經兩歲，一直很想有機會帶同女兒與你見面，很可惜你已回到天父的懷抱。就算兩年不見，仍時常記得你所說的話，笑聲及腳步聲。你曾說過我們很堅強，我當時只是笑一笑。現在想對你說是你使我們變得堅強，我們對你有信心！謝謝你！

Miranda, Frankie, Innes, Isis:

Dearest Dr Doo, 一直都唔想留言比你係因為唔相信你真係去了另一個世界無你對我一直的幫助及照顧,相信唔會有Innes係這個世上他,12歲,仍然期望帶他返回出生的醫院兼順道探望你們一家！感概世界真係太無常,雖然自己是工作於醫護界,看盡生離死別但當知道你離開個一刻,實在沒法形容的傷心悲痛！但願你在世界的另一方能夠安息我致上最深切的慰問,希望Dr Doo的家人能夠節哀順變！明白突然失去家人的哀痛,但願杜太及2個仔仔能夠堅強面對,繼續健康生活！RIP……

Ng’s Family:

杜醫生，聽到你離世的消息實在感到十分難受。

感謝您上年把我們的女兒安全地帶到身邊，每次我都好期待複診與杜醫生的見面，雖然只係短短數十分鐘，每一次杜醫生都談笑風生，而且十分專業，令第一次懷孕的我感到無比的安全感，年初我們還約定假若今年我再次懷孕的時候，必定再找杜醫生的幫忙。

永遠懷念Dr.Doo

IVF路上的人:

我並不是你的病人，但你在ivf界中是鼎鼎大名的醫生，所以得知你的大名。
多謝你為輔助生殖的醫療上付出，盡心盡力幫咗好多想做父母的人。
願安息

Kelly Looney:

Dr Doo, You were the most incredible doctor – one of the all time greats. You blessed us with our three children and delivered all three of them. I feel so grateful we knew you and that we were lucky to be your patients. I loved my appointments and birth experience because you were part of our team and always made us smile and I knew we were in the best hands. I loved your humour but you were also so caring and kind at the same time. You spoke so warmly of your sons and wife and I hope they know how much joy you have given us all and that your legacy lives on. Doctors like you don’t come around often and you really were incredibly special. I will be forever grateful for your help in making us parents and will treasure our memories and chats.

GeoBaby is deeply saddened with the passing of Dr. Alexander Doo. He supported so many members through their fertility journeys and brought joy to their families.

Our sincere condolences to the family for their loss. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Afsha Clarke:

Dearest Dr Doo,

You probably wouldn’t even remember us, but you are such a significant part of our life and our journey.

Your humour and humility saw us through some of our darkest moments, and you’ll always be the unofficial god-(or rather science)-father to our two sons.

We thank your family for sharing you with us and all of the other thousands of families you helped. They must be so proud and we hope they are able to find strength in that at this hard time.

Rest in peace & thank you.

Andy, Afsha, Theodore and Xavier x

Cindy & Laurent:

Dear Alex,

You gave us a road map and always answered all my questions with so much clarity and optimism. I am so glad we got to share that last smile without our masks in the corridor before we lost you. I knew you were the right Doctor for us and can’t believe you left us. Thank you for everything you have done for me and Laurent. Rest in peace Alex, we love you. C&L

Vidyuk family:

Our condolences on the passing of Dr Doo. We had a chance to meet him just a few times and he was always kind, calming and brought comfort to our family.
Love and gratitude to the family. Rest in peace.

Lucy Scholey Dorner:

I arrived in Hong Kong 7 months pregnant for the first time and hadn’t a clue what I was doing or what to expect. Dr Alex Doo, I had been informed that you were the man! I made it my mission to make you my doctor and for five wonderful years you have been there for me in the highs and saddest lows but you were, in my eyes a hero to so many of us. Your wit, compassion and sense of humour made even the darkest times bearable.

I am so unbelievably grateful to have known you, to have been cared for by you and to look at my daughter and smile knowing she was brought into this world by a man who was (and always will be) a doctor who made people a family.

We were about to journey on again in just seven days time with the delivery of my second daughter, and my heartache missing you at this very special time will be difficult. In honour of you we have decided to name her Alexandra and for the rest of her life will be told of the hero which was you.

Thank you for everything you did for my family, you will be missed for always.

JJJJ family:

We are shocked and saddened to hear the news of Dr Doo untimely passing. Not only has he been an amazing doctor, he is very attentive, very knowledgeable, personable and he has a wonderful quirky sense of humor. Most importantly, we remember him as the doctor who gave our family hope, when we were despairing and didn’t have any direction or hope. He will always be in our hearts and we are truly grateful for his contribution and all that he has done for our family.

The Rodenbeck family:

We were also deeply saddened by the heartbreaking news of Dr Doo’s sudden passing and wanted to offer our sincere condolences to his family, friends and colleagues at the Women’s Clinic. He will be missed dearly.

On 7 September 2006 at 16:39hr Dr. Alexander Doo and his team at The Matilda Hospital helped us welcome our girl, Maya, safely to this world.
His good sense of humour, positive energy and great confidence made the whole pregnancy and delivery a smooth and memorable process for us and we are eternally grateful for that.

Dr Doo,
It was your caring, humorous and great professionalism that won our hearts since the first day we met you and we chose you to celebrate our girl’s arrival in this world. You will always be remembered with love, kindness and respect.
May you rest in peace.

Cristina, Peter and Maya

Ruoyi and Andreas:

Dearest Alex,

We are eternally grateful to you for Freya, from conception to birth. Your positivity, kindness and wonderful sense of humour helped is through this remarkable journey. In the same vein, we couldn’t be happier with number two on his / her way, and wish more than anything you were with us for the rest of the journey.

Words fail to express how deeply saddened and shocked we were by your passing, which came only a couple of days after we saw you. Our hearts go out to your family and loved ones.

You helped to bring life to so many families. As difficult as it is, may we all try to put our sadness away, and celebrate life in honour of your memories.

With love always.

Chinanglas Family

Dearest Dr Doo,

I wrote this to you on the card I gave you when you delivered our baby 13 months ago. Im sure you have read this.

“𝑾𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒕𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒏𝒆, 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒎𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂 𝒇𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒚 𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆. 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔, 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒆𝒙𝒆𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒔𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒂 𝒃𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈. 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒖𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒋𝒐𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆“

Thank you so much Dr Doo, I will keep repeating this- we are forever grateful to you. You are the reason behind the success of having my beautiful baby after many years of tears..waiting, hoping and searching. When she grow up, I will tell her about you. I had a very difficult and complicated pregnancy and you always make sure that everything will be fine, you are very busy but you will always have time. You did all of this for us without anything in return. We promise we will be good parents.

You gave me two memories I will never forget for the rest of my life. The day you delivered our baby on 18May2020 – was the happiest day of our life. And the very last time I saw you on 4July2021 – I found comfort knowing you are now in a better place, have lived a meaningful life and left us with a lasting legacy of good deeds. We will miss you forever!

With love and prayers,

Grace

致：杜醫生的家人

謝謝分享杜醫生的時間。我們能夠認識他是一個榮幸。他是一名被愛戴的醫生，我們永遠懷念他。我們為你祈禱。願你能平安地想念他留下的美好回憶裡。

Emily Jim & George Ho:

We are very shocked to hear that Dr Doo will no longer with us.

Dr Doo is the best doctor we have ever met and it is very fortunate for us to meet him. His professionalism and good humour helped us get through the most difficult time after 2 miscarriages.

We still remember last time we met him in June and asked him to deliver our first baby in the coming December. We can never imagine this was the final ultrasound scan that Dr Doo took for our baby.

We will tell our baby how great Dr Doo was when she grows up. Dr Doo, you will always be remembered!

Nigel, Joey and Kayleigh Sayer:

My wife Joey and I were extremely saddened to hear about the passing of Dr. Doo. Dr. Doo delivered our daughter Kayleigh into this world. He advised and assisted us throughout a difficult pregnancy. He was always there to help. It’s hard to put into words how much we are indebted to Dr. Doo because what he did for us transcends words. I know first hand how dedicated he was as a doctor. The man was there for everybody. His last action to me personally was a small act of kindness just a week or so ago. I still can’t believe he’s gone. I never expected to be so saddened- but I truly am. We send our sincere condolences to his family, friends, patients and colleagues. I heard many stories about how kind a man to all. May he rest in peace.

Navarrete Family:

After an initial consultation concerning our fertility struggles, Dr. Doo said to us:

“Let’s get it done”

… and get it done he did. Twice.

Dr. Doo left a beautiful legacy with all the children he helped bring into the world, including ours.

We are forever grateful.

May he Rest In Peace.

Phoebe:

Dearest Dr. Doo,

I still can’t accept that you are gone.

I am grateful for the chance to work for you in the women’s clinic, even though it was just a short period of time. You have been always like a friend to us and your sense of humour made my life easier.

As a patient, you have always been trustworthy and supportive. Word is not enough for me to express how thankful I am, for bringing two little angels into my life and giving me a lovely family.

You are a great boss and doctor who impossible to forget. Thanks for being an important part of my life.

May your soul find rest.

Clara:

Dear Dr. Doo,

Thank you. Without your care, kindness, sense of humour, calm nature, and expertise, it would have been very difficult for me to be a mom of 2 now.

Words cannot express how saddened we are to hear this heartbreaking news.

I always looked forward to my appointments and remember how you would enter the room: A few knocks and then in your deep voice say “ha loow”.

When I told you last year that I will be leaving HK, you said take care just before you left the room. I always thought I will see you someday and never expected that to be a final goodbye.

You will be sorely missed but never forgotten.

May you rest in peace.

Our deepest condolences go to Dr. Doo’s family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

With love,

Clara and family

Sofie Jacobs:

Alex. I am still in shock learning you have passed. I clearly remember all the shifts we did together 22 years ago at St. George’s hospital in London. Me as a midwife, you as a registrar….We always had a ton of fun, argued sometimes and most of all shared a mutual respect for one another as people serving pregnant and birthing women.

Fast forward to our lives in Hong Kong and you will be greatly missed. You changed your patients and my clients’ lives and you will be greatly missed. Wherever you are , keep on making the same jokes. They’re silly and repetitive but coming from you, they somehow work. RIP Alex

Dr Natalie Caves:

Dear Alex,

You were my great colleague for many years, but more than that you were my friend. You have been taken from us too soon and I am still reeling from your loss. I saw you almost every day and I miss you.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to your family – to your wife, your father, your sisters and especially to your boys who were always at the forefront of your mind. Every day you would talk about them, worry about them, plan for them, be proud of them – they meant the world to you. My deepest condolences to you all. I am so so sorry for your loss.

You have meant so much to so many people, and been such a positive force for good in so many lives. Not many people manage to make the world a better place, but you have. We will all miss you terribly.

Rest in peace my friend.

Angela Cheung Yeung:

Dear Dr Doo

Words cannot explain how sad it is to hear that you are no longer with us. Thank you for everything. You are a legend and you will be missed dearly. I am so grateful to have been refered to you. Thank you for all the sacrifices you have made for us – all the long hours, hard work, personal time… You have brought so much joy to so many families. You will always be remembered as the professional, cheerful, humorous and loving doctor that no one can replace. May you rest in peace.

Zoe Wong:

杜醫生，你真係一個好好嘅醫生，我之前睇你，用晒台灣啲藥，或者喺出邊買藥，我又喺出邊嘅化驗所化驗，比其他嘅報告你睇，我為咗慳返啲錢，你所有事情都唔介意，你仲幫我檢查啲藥係咪啱用，都係諗住幫我慳返啲錢，我淨係喺你個clinic做產檢同埋打針。呢啲事情，我知道你會賺少好多錢，你都唔會黑面，但係你都好有你嘅醫德，保持你嘅專業。我上次雖然小產，你告訴我下次一定要打IVIG，我記得。好多謝你比我嘅所有意見。永遠懷念你一位咁好嘅婦科加免疫醫生。

Gigi Chang:

Dear Dr Doo,

It’s sad and shock to hear you passing. Thank you for your encouragement. Although we only met once, I sincerely being thankful that you provided your professional recommendations to me. Thank you Doctor, may you rest in peace.

Astor Chow:

Dearest Dr Doo,

好多謝你你真是一個好好嘅醫生。希望你在另一個世界更加開心。永遠懷念你

The Ng Family:

We were deeply saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Dr. Doo and wanted to offer our sincere condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

Life and death must be part of the everyday in his profession, but we will never forget the role he played in bringing life to our little family.

His professionalism and skill delivered alongside his affability and dry humour will be sorely missed. We will be forever grateful for the exemplary care we received during such important events in our lives.

Rest in Peace, Dr. Doo

Dr. Doo, Thank you very much for your help.

Shalini Thakur:

Our heartfelt condolences, we are so deeply saddened when we heard of Dr Doo’s sudden passing. It has left a gaping hole in our hearts. My husband and I often refer to Dr Doo as our guardian angel, our miracle worker.

  Throughout our 11 years of seeing him he was not only our doctor, but our family friend. He gave us our miracle family; three beautiful children who would have never come into this world if it was not for this amazing man. He was so knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, funny and charming.  

We had so many struggles with high risk pregnancies and miscarriages, at any time of the day he was always there keeping us calm and positive, making a joke- telling me to go to Church!  He spoke adoringly of his boys and his wife – thank you for sharing him with so many of us. He was a miracle worker and there is no possible way to show our gratitude. We love and miss him so so much.   

Dr Doo – I’ll go to Church & light a candle in your memory. Thank you for praying for me, my babies, giving me the strength in my most miserable and darkest days. You were the ray of sunshine who gave us hope

  Love  Shalini, Mohit, Samara, Rishaan and Viren

對杜堅能醫生的離世，我們表示深切哀悼。

杜醫生照料產婦無微不至，對人友善，真誠，有承擔，從沒有擺架子。

我們失去這位一起共事的好同袍，業界失去這位好仁醫，是一大損失。

我們永遠懷念一一一一杜堅能醫生。

Darren:

Dr Doo,

Thank you for take care my wife and baby during her pregnancy. We will never forget your kindness and smiles. RIP, thoughts are with your friends and family

Tang Sau Lan Freda:

Dr.Doo 感謝您在18年前幫我想盡辦法去做IVF, 雖然試過多次都不成功。但在過程中我感受到Dr.Doo的醫德，對病人的真誠是醫學界典範。記得當時在明德醫檢查時，他帶同自己手抱兒子來及手術完后，他帶同他兒子一同巡房，我還記得當時我躺在床上，Dr.Doo的兒子身高只不過同病房高度差不多，Dr.Doi還說他想兒子將來也做醫生。今天想必Dr.Doi兒子己20多歲。希望也是如Dr.Doi所:

願成為一位醫生。

另外在2010年我丈夫突然腦中風，我不知所措，於是給Dr.Doo電話，他毫不猶豫地介紹腦神經內外科醫生給，雖然最後我丈夫不幸走了。但我內心深處真誠感激Dr.Doo的幫助。

今天醫學界損失一位有醫德，關於病人的好好醫生。希望Dr.Doo的醫德精神有醫生延續，永久長存。

在此，希望Dr. Doo 的家人釋懷，保重身體。

永遠懷念Dr.Doo

Genevieve:

Dr Doo was the only Dr I enjoyed seeeing walk through the room – no matter what the situation, you knew everything will be ok when he is around.

I’m so glad our fates crossed path and that both my boys got to be welcomed into the world by Dr Doo.

It’s with a heavy heart and great sadness to know that Dr Doo has left us; but our fond memories with him (his kindness, Charm and most of all his humour and wit) will remain in our hearts forever.

To Dr Doo’s family and Sons, please know that your Dad was incredibly proud of you both. When I was worried about having 2 boys , Dr Doo always shared with us his joy and pride about having his sons.

With all our love,

Genevieve, Pak Man, Parker and Spencer.

Kennis:

平日的你，每天也為病人關心着、勞累著！

現在的你，也可以真正的好好休息放鬆著！

我相信在天上的你，仍繼續為我們守護着！

想起你，在手術室自信的眼神！
想起你，在檢查時的關心真心！
想起你，腳踏聲和鬼馬的Hello！
想起你，出色專業的醫者技術！
想起你，讓我亳無掛慮的放心！

很傷心！但路還是要向前走的！

希望你在遠方一路安好！杜醫生，好師兄！緣份讓我們相遇！我和丈夫會把你放在心坎裏，懷念你、敬重你！

Thanks again!

林勇行开:

某天清晨，天剛亮，電話響起，以為產房急call, 哦，來電顯示是Alex, 甫接電，傳來Alex迫切的聲音，” YH, 請你救救這個胎兒，死咁頭哪。”

事緣數天前杜大夫一個IVF病人胎兒15週確診了Parvovirus 水腫，危在旦夕，他心急如焚，看來整夜無眠，盤算如何替他張羅宮內治療，救他一命。奈何宮內治療, 我十多年沒有操刀，無能為力，只好替他另覓高手。幸得梁德楊教授拔刀相助，立即出手，救回一命，小朋友得以健康出世。

經此一役，深深體會到Alex醫者父母心，急他人所急，想他人所想，實是難得的一個好醫生。

念杜堅能大夫 :

杜家有一位名醫，

堅守醫德救病人，

能耐風範無人及，

大医大德眾敬仰，

夫君遠去嘆奈何！

Alex, 望你在遠處安好，永遠敬重你，懷念你，YH

Bonnie, John, Grace (9) and Julian (3):

We are still in shock about the news. We haven’t realized what a mark Dr Doo had left on our lives until we looked back at how involved he was at the key milestones for our family. We’ve always thought Dr Doo will be there whenever we need advice. And reading from the other messages, Dr Doo played an important role to many other families too. He left us too soon but he certainly led a meaningful life. Our deepest sympathy to the Doo family.

Bonnie, John, Grace & Julian

Flo. F:

Dr Doo Doo, you are a lively and talented doctor. Your quick witted and kindness will always be remembered. Ciao~~

Kwok’s Family:

Dear Dr Doo

感謝你令我成為兩個孩子的媽媽。沒有你，我同老公唔會有這個完美的家庭。

第一次在你clinic 見面的情景還歷歷在目，你的笑容、幽默、說話，好像我們一個相識已久的朋友。每次等候覆診時總見你由一間房快步行去另一間房，然後聽見你輕鬆親切但洪亮的聲音問房裡clients「喂，你好，點呀你？」

受孕過程漫長又辛苦，但好彩一直有你的細心monitor 住，我好記得你親自打電話比我告訴我Bingo的消息，我感到你也為我喜悅。我告訴你我想比老公surprise ,等到生產時才揭盅仔定女，你好認真幫我寫低喺report 度提醒自己。你又笑我咁騰雞竟然兩胎都可以順產。

生大仔時足足在Matilda 等左十多小時，你lunch break 上來幫我檢查，晚上又來幾次，到凌晨決定催生就一直搞到早上，你回家都無訓覺又來巡房睇我。

感謝你一直帶給我們希望、歡笑、關懷、愛心、專業及美好回憶，你永遠活在我們心中。

RIP, 一路好走，希望你在天國可以好好休息.

P.S To Dr. Doo’s family – so sorry for your loss and please stay strong during this difficult time!

Dr Doo

Thank you for your help and support to us. My wife and I will miss hearing your foot steeps in the hallways. We will miss you and think of you all the time. May you Rest In Peace.

Lena:

Dear Dr Doo,

Still cannot believe you aren’t with us anymore. You are the greatest dr I have ever had. 10 years with you, two pregnancies, 2 kids, I’m probably the most panicking patient whom you ever had, and you know I was coming Sometimes almost every week to “just make” sure all is ok with whatever question I had even after pregnancies. Love your absolute professionalism, sense of humour, how u laughed every time seeing me too often “you again”:))))) thanks for calming all my worries with your warm attitude and jokes! You are terribly missed!

Didier, Wendy and Don:

Dr.Doo
we are so shocked and sad to hear of your passing.
Rest in peace Alex, knowing you are solely missed and remembered. ours thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends.

Angel Lun:

Dearest Dr Doo,

I still cannot believe that you are no longer with us. You were an amazing doctor and you were like a big brother to me. Thank you so much for your kindness, care and everything. You will always be in our hearts. May you rest in peace and my sincere condolences to your family.

Belinda Cheung:

You will be greatly missed.

Rest in Piece!

Cheryl C.

Dear Doctor Doo,

Ed and I are in shock to have heard about you leaving us so suddenly. I am still reeling with the idea that I won’t get to refer or maybe see you again. 🙁 You were a very charming yet straight-to-the-point doctor who guided us through our funny yet informative pregnancy journey. We will always be thankful for meeting you and having you impact our lives.

I still remembered how we were at your office discussing the route to take one minute then a day or two after, having a few “side effects” (so we thought), we were already expecting! It was funny when we spoke and you mentioned – “you didn’t check?!” –> a very funny-loving, joking manner. I remembered we laughed so much and we then strategized accordingly. We owe you a lot and I have referred so many other happy clients of this.

I know your family is shattered by your passing. You will always be in our thoughts and prayers. I pray that God gives you and your family strength to endure through this time of need.

Chan’s family:

杜醫生，感激你為我們家庭帶來了一個可愛女兒。願你在天堂永遠快樂及平安。

Kelly Looney:

Dr Doo is my favourite doctor who delivered my three handsome boys. An awesome doctor who goes the extra mile for his patients and available any time of the day to provide guidance. I will always be thankful and grateful for your care, charm and patience. It’s amazing how you make a daunting and sometimes problematic pregnancy journey seems so easy and comfortable

Rest in peace Dr Doo. You will be missed and will always be remembered in our hearts.

Crystal Li:

Dearest Dr. Doo,

My family and I are deeply saddened to hear of your passing. You helped me bring my precious daughter Lilia Grace into the world and I will forever be grateful that our paths crossed. Words alone cannot express how thankful I am to you. You were a wonderful doctor with a unique mix of expertise, compassion, empathy, dedication, experience, knowledge and humour that always put me at ease. I always felt I was in excellent hands. Thank you Dr. Doo for bringing so much joy and happiness to our family. We are eternally grateful to you. You will be sorely missed and fondly remembered always.

To the Doo family, all the staff at The Women’s Clinic and Matilda Hospital,

Please accept our most sincere and heartfelt condolences during this extremely difficult time. Nothing anyone can say will ever be able to fill the void left by Dr. Doo’s sudden departure, but please know that he was truly an amazing miracle doctor who literally gave life to so many. Beyond that, he was also an incredible person and friend. His legacy and warm spirit will continue to live on in all the lives that he touched.

May Dr. Doo rest in peace.

With Love,

Crystal, Andrew, Lilia and Elia

Melanie Carr:

Dear Alex,

It was always a pleasure to work with you and to have known you. You never did convince me you were from a long lost Scottish clan called McDoo but you certainly made sure every day had some laughter, smiles and kindness for everybody. Condolences to your family and all who knew you, rest in peace Alex.

Ling family:

Dr.Doo
感謝你多次幫忙同關懷，懷念你每次入房前的腳步聲，懷念你每一次親切的Hello ,懷念你嘅串嘴，你的專業令到我們放心！感激你！
永遠懷念你，主懷安息！
主佑你家人釋懷，平安！

Grace Tam:

Thank you for your kind advises and the consultations in laughers. You shall always be missed!!

Wong’s family:

一位我十分欣賞、十分感激的人——Dr. Doo 杜堅能醫生，今天收到你突然猝逝的消息，那種悲痛和震驚，好像身邊走了一位親人，也許，你在我/我們的心目中早己超越了病人、病人家屬跟醫生的關係…

我經常同人講「無Dr. Doo，都未必有波兒」，
記得我結婚當日，婚宴期間突然見紅，流血不止，
我當時的婦科醫生態度模稜兩可，完全幫不上忙，
正當我們手足無措之際，經朋友介紹，我們找到了你，
即使我們素未謀面，即使我無幫襯過你，即使那天是假期，
但你都即時給我們最好的意見、最適切的安排，讓我們可以有驚無險地度過那個新婚之夜。

自此之後，我的整個孕期都得到你專業的治療，讓我可以安心養胎，寶寶可以健康成長，
而當年的這個寶寶，現在已經九歲了，這些年來，他對你的名字並不陌生，
因為他的爸媽經常都會跟他提起，當年Dr. Doo救咗佢.

記得以往回到明德醫院參與活動，其中最期待的就是帶兩個兒子見見你，
讓他們知道，他們能夠平安健康出世，你功不可沒。
近幾年因為各種原因，未能回到明德聚會，每年都會心想，今年錯過了，明年再回去吧！
誰知，即使以後再回去，已經不能見到你了。

這十年間，不論是產檢、生B、婦科檢查，大大小小的問題，只要想到有你在，我就不怕，
也許，這就是醫生和病人間的信任。

最近一次見面，是兩個月前，你，依舊風趣幽默，還約定我半年後覆診再見，
現在，這個預約已經無法兌現。

花開花落有時，縱然悲痛，亦要前行。
你在我們心目中永遠都是那個專業、樂觀、可靠的杜醫生，
感激緣份讓我們一家遇上你。

So saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Dr Doo. We met him but once and were happily able to thank him personally for helping to bring our long wished for little grand daughter into the world some 3 years ago. Sending our condolences to the bereaved family from us here in West Sussex in the United Kingdom.

S. Leung:

Dear Dr. Doo, hard to believe you are not here anymore. Thank you so much for you help and advise. We are forever grateful. Wish we could have told you in person. Rest in peace.
Love, Munoz family

Dr. Doo was a lovely man. I credit him for the healthy delivery of both of our sons.
I would like to send my condolences to his family.

Sunny:

杜医生：

听到你不幸离世的消息，我久久不能相信，耳边一直回响的都是你的脚步声和你的声音，脑海中浮现的都是你的笑容。这一路走来，你陪着我一起经历了好多，一次次的尝试和失败，一次次的安慰和鼓励，让我得以再爬起来重新开始，我都还没来得及带小朋友回去看你，说声谢谢你。在我大出血住院期间，你来看我时和我说，你都没曾想，竟然真的让我做到了。其实，我更想说的是，那是因为我遇到了你们，没有你们的支持和陪伴，我怎么可能做到。杜医生，你不会真的离去，因为你会被太多人怀念。

Audrey & Pau Family:

Dearest Dr Doo
I am still shocked and deeply saddened by the news of you not being with us anymore.
Thank you for bringing my 2 kids to this world. Thank you for all your valuable advices
Thank you for saving me from emergency room
Thank you for everything.

We will miss you and will always remember you.

Rest in peacen

Lay Ean, Ronnie and Evan:

Dear Dr Doo,

I am deeply saddened by your passing and still have a hard time believing that you have left us for good. I only just saw you a few weeks ago and remembered how you joked with a straight face “next year you can have a girl”.

You were always so careful and caring. You once reminded me to stop working and take care of myself because the co wont give me extra bonus! You were always very direct but spoke wisely.

Thank you for everything you have done for us. For helping me realise motherhood, delivering Evan and now my 2nd. I am so sad that you cannot be around to deliver my 2nd baby end of this year.

Please RIP and know that you will be forever etched in our hearts and lives.

Love,
Lay Ean, Ronnie and Evan

Angel, Benson & Quintus:

Dr. Doo 感謝您！在我最無助的時候遇上最好的醫生，多謝你的鼓勵讓我繼續嘗試做媽媽，多謝你親手抱Quintus出嚟….不斷回想這兩年幾的片段，每次見完你的快樂心情。我還記得第一次照bb心跳喊出來那刻，你還笑我，我當時都忍唔住感嘆您的工作很有意義，您還説做婦產科就係常常見證快樂。原本想帶BB 親自去clinic多謝您，沒想到沒有機會了。杜醫生，真的很榮幸認識您，您的醫德，仁心仁術，幽默，招積，成就，永遠留在無數人心入面。永遠懷念您。願您安息！

Anna Chan:

May the Road Rise Up to Meet You

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
And may the hand of a friend always be near.

May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you.

Kennis & Freddy Chiu:

對我們來說，這是我不想面對的事實。

相信對病人好，對醫學界好，也是一個重大的損失。

我跟杜醫生的認識，源於我們的一位好朋友，有天在明德處需要接我的好友回家

跟杜醫生握過手，打個手呼，也知道他是我的學長。就送朋友回家，這事大慨17-18 年前吧。

事隔多年，因為公眾假期關係中環診所沒開，我太太到了明德檢查。席間，我向師兄問了一個問題，我説，十多年前，我有認識一位婦產科的醫生也在這𥚃，但握過手後，我們都説好要吃大閘蟹，都沒實現過。

杜醫生説，哪一晚跟你握手的就是我。

這世界的緣份，會是這樣奇妙嗎？
無名的有一份真切感，這是不能言語形容的，就，喑裡尋他千百”杜”。哪個朋友不一直在你旁邊。

我一直以師兄來稱呼他，因為我覺得叫醫生好像有點生外。有時候，我會扮他敲門的方式，然後講句招牌式的「Hello」，相信他的病人及每位同事，對他皮鞋腳步的聲音，不會覺得陌生。

太太有次手術後，我問過他，師兄你工作壓力這麼重，要休息一下嗎？他回說，小朋友的出生死沒休息的，盡量吧⋯⋯

我們約好了今年來個多年未完成的約定，就是今年季節大家一起吃大閘蟹。

奈何，我們的約定，現在成了泡影。

師兄，一路好走，我及太太也萬般不捨你的離去，你是位很好，很出色的醫生，這個已經是公認的。

我對他的家人及醫院，診所上下同事作出深切的問候，希望大家收拾心情。你們的工作十分重要，大家懷念著這位醫生的 “Hello”。

安息
友

Liang’s family:

Our deepest condolences to Dr. Doo’s family and the team at Women’s Clinic!
We are forever grateful to Dr. Doo for help us having children (boy and girl twins). His passing is too sudden and too soon. May he rest in peace!

Marina leung & Lavina Chan:

I just learnt of Dr Doo’s passing today and it’s been weeks after the fact from a WhatsApp forwarded by a friend. Apparently mass notification sent to us about his passing fell mistakenly into our Spam mailbox!

We remembered him fondly as Dr Doo was not only talented but kind, and witty. He went above and beyond the call of duty to advised us on parenting and comforted us when we had a threatened miscarriage. He delivered our son and daughter and didn’t even raise an eyebrow to our special family of two mothers. We are shocked but deeply saddened that he was taken from his family. May he rest in peace and we are sure heaven had a special spot for him. Our sincere condolences to his family!!!

Adora’s Parents:

Dear Dr. Doo,

We were shocked and heartbroken to hear the news today. You were with us during our most stressful and difficult times. Talking to you was always comforting, and your positivity and care for your patient was second to none. You were among the few pro-natural birth doctors in Hong Kong, and always considered what was best for the mother and nothing else. Your level of ethics is an example to all doctors. We will miss you. 🙁

Love,
Sophie, Aida, Adora and Ava

PS. We finally found your favorite song (“There goes my baby” by Trisha Yearwood) which you were playing in the delivery room during the surgery… It was so relaxing and took all the anxiety away… We will play this song and think of you… Thank you for all the good memories…

Kaori and Family:

Dear Dr. Doo,

I told my family about you this evening. You brought my twin babies to this world. You gave me the sense of security when I was most vulnerable.

I remember when I met you first time, like yesterday. When I think of you, I think of such a joyful memory of our life.

I told my twin boy and girl that you are the first person they saw in this world. How lucky they are! They are 14 this year and doing very well.

Thank you, Dr. Doo.
We miss you.

Sujeshweri & Satish Pradhan:

Dear Dr. Doo,

We were shocked to learn about you leaving us so soon, we still remember our first meeting – not a very long time ago and how blessed we feel to have known you as our Doctor. You made sure that you are always available for the care of patients regardless the hour and the way you comforted us with your expertise, humor and laughter. We thank you for helping us create a beautiful life within and you’ll always be dearly remembered for it and more. My heartfelt condolence to your family and all your loved ones. May your soul Rest in Peace. Your legacy surely lives on like a shining star Dr. Doo

DC Wang:

Our youngest daughter was born with Dr. Doo’s care 15 years ago. He was one of the warmest and most caring doctors I have ever encountered. It was such a shock to read the news of his passing. He was too young to go. So sad.

Ashley:

Very sad knowing that a great person as you is not with us anymore. I would like to thank you from the depth of my heart, if I’m enjoying this world with my family and friends it’s because of you.

Thanks,
Ashley and parents.

Xia Wang:

It was so shock and sad to hear the news. Thank you for taking such as good care of me and my daughter for eight months and I was hoping you could be the doctor for my second child too. You were such a nice, warming, kind, humor…just a great doctor. I still remember my visit last time — your smile and warm words really cheered me up. My deepest condolences to your family and may you rest in peace.

Our whole family will miss you.

Lee family:

Dearest Dr. Doo,

You have been my doctor for the past ten years. You are surely one of the best doctors I have come across in my life and I am very sad to know of your passing. You have helped us so much in the past ten years and we will never forget your professionalism, kindness and generosity. Thank you for completing our family.

It’s hard to accept the fact that you have now left us, but you will continue to live in the hearts of so many families that you have helped to build. We trust that you are now with our Lord who will take good care of all those people you love. Rest in peace.

Our deepest condolences go to Dr Doo’s family. You are all in our prayers.

Blessings,
Lee family

Anson and Sheila:

Dear Dr. Alexander Doo,
We owe you (and the Women’s Clinic team) the debt of gratitude. Without your help, perhaps we may not be able to give birth to our three little boys. You are one of the best doctors, we ever had.
From the bottom our our hearts, thank you very much and rest in peace Dr. Doo.

Michelle Lam, the Cheung’s family:

Amber Aldred:

To the family of Dr Doo, I am so sorry for your loss and send my deepest condolences. There are so many happy families who would never existed without Dr Doo. He made many people very happy and his legacy will live on in the children he helped bring into this world.

Echo:

杜醫生，無辦法用簡單既言語表達我對你的感謝和懷念。系我陀B的日子，每一次你都用幽默同淡定的說話，令騰雞的我變得放鬆。我仲一路plan住等疫情好返D，會Aria來探你，比你見下尼個超級大頭B。

一定系天堂都需要好人，所以急call左你去。希望你系上邊都系成日笑呵呵，我會永遠記得你講既笑話，同埋果段你用心守護的日子。

Jane, Tim, Aurora and Baby No 2 Ball:

Dear Dr Doo,

We were so saddened to hear your passing. Thank you for everything you have done, bringing our first daughter into this world and guiding us through the second. You will be so missed and you will always have a big place in our family.

Rest in peace.

Rita:

杜醫生，多謝您帶我仔仔來到這個世界….感激您成就了無數想成為父母的人….
記得仔仔出世那天我們選擇開刀的時間是清晨，您開玩笑跟我們說：我就睇下以後佢點樣飛黃騰達⋯⋯哈哈～我們不會忘記您的幽默，還有每次入房的那句‘hello’，您的每一句都給了我們無比的信心⋯⋯ 多謝您！RIP …. 亦希望杜太和兩位仔仔節衰順變…..

Dr. Charas Ong:

Dear Alex,
Deeply shocked and saddened still. You were my great colleague and friend for many years, and you will be dearly missed. My deepest condolences to your family – to your wife and sons, your father and your sisters.
Rest in peace my dear friend.

Claire Fernandes:

The day of my Caesarean was the most terrifying day of my life. I walked into theatre and walked straight back out bottom bearing and tried to leave to get in a taxi and go home. You chased me and took me by the wrist and said “Claire that baby is coming out today” you handed me to your fantastic anaesthetist who offered me a gin and tonic (light sedative) I was still adamant that we could postpone. In the meantime my husband disappeared as he was so nervous he had to rush to the bathroom so you had to go and hunt him down. After finding my husband I had been sedated and to be honest I don’t remember much after that.

Not only in my opinion are you the best obstetrician but the most incredible person. Such a massive loss to us all.

Rest in Peace Dr Doo.

Hannah’s Parents:

We were shocked to hear about Dr Doo’s passing, and still in disbelief. Dr Doo was such a positive person and always brought hopefulness and joy to us during my wife’s pregnancy. We will be forever grateful to Dr Doo for helping us to welcome the cutest little angle to our life. Rest In Peace Dr Doo, you will be missed dearly!

Claire Raphaël & Amélie Fernandes:

Dearest Alex

It was only a few days before that we were discussing our families, Covid vaccine, life etc. To hear of your passing was utterly shocking. My husband and I are so deeply saddened receiving the news.

I spent six long years doing IVF with you. We shared many laughs over the years. Your dry sense of humour was well matched with my husbands. You were fantastic all through my pregnancy answering your pager during operating because I was panicking. Not only were you my obstetrician but our friend. I’m so thankful to you. You are my hero.

I’m only a mother today because of you.

My heart goes out to Ivy and your boys. I hope they get to read these messages and know how proud you were of them!

Gone to soon but will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace.

Love from Claire Raph & Amélie

Emily Jim & George Ho:

We are very shocked to hear that Dr Doo will no longer with us.

Dr Doo is the best doctor we have ever met and it is very fortunate for us to meet him. His professionalism and good humour helped us get through the most difficult time after 2 miscarriages.

We still remember last time we met him in June and asked him to deliver our first baby in the coming December. We can never imagine this was the final ultrasound scan that Dr Doo took for our baby.

We will tell our baby how great Dr Doo was when she grows up. Dr Doo, you will always be remembered!

Nigel, Joey and Kayleigh Sayer:

Navarrete Family:

After an initial consultation concerning our fertility struggles, Dr. Doo said to us:

“Let’s get it done”

… and get it done he did. Twice.

Dr. Doo left a beautiful legacy with all the children he helped bring into the world, including ours.

We are forever grateful.

May he Rest In Peace.

Phoebe:

Dearest Dr. Doo,

I still can’t accept that you are gone.

As a patient, you have always been trustworthy and supportive. Word is not enough for me to express how thankful I am, for bringing two little angels into my life and giving me a lovely family.

You are a great boss and doctor who impossible to forget. Thanks for being an important part of my life.

May your soul find rest.

Clara:

Dear Dr. Doo,

Thank you. Without your care, kindness, sense of humour, calm nature, and expertise, it would have been very difficult for me to be a mom of 2 now.

Words cannot express how saddened we are to hear this heartbreaking news.

I always looked forward to my appointments and remember how you would enter the room: A few knocks and then in your deep voice say “ha loow”.

When I told you last year that I will be leaving HK, you said take care just before you left the room. I always thought I will see you someday and never expected that to be a final goodbye.

You will be sorely missed but never forgotten.

May you rest in peace.

Our deepest condolences go to Dr. Doo’s family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

With love,

Clara and family

With all our love,

Rebekah:

Dear Dr Doo,

It’s hard to believe you aren’t around anymore when you were always just a phone call away during moments of anxiety or fear. I will miss our brief but meaningful chats about life. Thank you for never judging me and accepting me in my worst state: pregnant with PTSD and baggage after a hard loss (with another OB). Thank you for enduring my anger, hurt, and fear during 2 high-risk pregnancies and helping me to have my 1) redemption baby girl and 2) dream June baby girl of my dreams, who I am holding now. I was so lucky you could help me deliver my second girl just a month before you left us. What a blessing.

There’s a verse that comes to mind for my own journey in becoming a mother, but it also reminds me of all good work you have done here on earth:

“…beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.”

Thank you for turning graves into gardens.

Forever grateful,

Rebekah

Phoebe chan:

Dearest Dr Doo,

I cannot believe that you are no longer with us.

I am grateful to have had the chance to work with you in the woman’s clinic, even though it was just a short period of time. You have been always like a friend to us and your sense of humour have made our lives easier.

As a patient, you have always been professional and supportive. Word is not enough to express how thankful I am, for bringing two little angels into my life and happiness to my family.

Your life was a gift to many families. You are a great boss and doctor who will be forever missed. Thank you for being an important part of my life.

May your soul find rest.

Grace Poh:

Dr Doo, you were honestly one of the all time greats. Not only did you make our dream of becoming parents a reality by pushing ivf boundaries you then went on to deliver all 3 of my babies in 2015,2017&2019. I was never worried in any of my deliveries because I knew we had you looking after us. I loved our jokes and your humour and warmth always made me look forward to my appointments. You were certainly a one of a kind, an incredible doctor and I hope your legacy lives on. You were so special to so many of us and will never be forgotten.

Crystal Li:

Dearest Dr. Doo,

To the Doo family, all the staff at The Women’s Clinic and Matilda Hospital,

Raymond Li:

It was shocking to hear the passing of Alex in the midst of his splendid career and life. I knew Alex when we worked together in the HKSRM. His dedication, energy and passion will be remembered and missed. May Alex rest in peace. My condolences are with his family in this difficult time.

F&M:

Dr. Doo had that rare combination of exceptional expertise, dedication, levity and genuine personal care. We were lucky to have his well-balanced mix of realism and positivity in our own personal IVF journey, including jokes debating the merits of investing in Ferraris and luxury holidays over ‘investing’ in kids 😉

Even knowing him relatively briefly and only as a patient, his charisma was obvious and we feel devastated by this news. We wish we had his wit and sense of appropriateness at this time to make some light-hearted joke that somehow made the situation seem better.

As we experience our own denial and grief, our hearts and prayers go out particularly to his close family and friends. The outpouring of messages here is testament to quite how many hearts and lives he touched and although words seem inadequate, we hope offer some small comfort.

May he rest in peace and his life be celebrated – he really was exceptional.
F&M

Joey , Alvin and Tessa:

Dear Dr Doo, Thank you for giving us the chance to know you. You played such an important role in our lives and I am still very glad that we came to you when I’m with my first pregnancy in Hong Kong. You were always along the way till I had Tessa on my second pregnancy.

You are such an amazing person, you are always calm, make me feel better to not be paranoid when I had Tessa. Thank you for bringing Tessa into this world. We even sing Happy Birthday song to you inside the operation theatre. It was such a joyful experience. I am glad we had this picture of you with Tessa. You are truly by far the best doctor I had in Hong Kong or maybe I should say, you are one of the top few doctors in Hong Kong. It is the world great lost to lose a doctor like you. I believe you have helped many other families to make their dream come true.

You will always be part of our heart & memories. You devoted your life to your patients and now it’s time to rest In peace my dear doctor. You will be dearly miss.

Message

Words can’t quite express our gratitude to Alex for the mark he made on our life through the arrival of our little girl in 2019 and hopefully, another on the way. He helped us achieve what we didn’t think was possible, all the while keeping us upbeat (even during some upsetting times) with his signature sense of humour and genuine kindness.

My only regret is that we didn’t say thank you enough. You changed countless lives for the better and led a truly meaningful life, something I hope your family take great comfort in.

Thank you for everything Alex, we are eternally grateful and every year on June 14th (our daughter’s birthday), we’ll be sure to raise a glass in memory of you.

You and your family are always in our prayers. May God have mercy on your soul. Rest in Peace.
