Dr. Digesu is the best of the best! He was so easy to talk to as well as accommodating to all my needs. I never felt judged when telling him my worries and concerns. Even though he has such a busy schedule he made an effort to check up on me even after my appointment. I recommend everyone come see Dr Digesu because there's no one better. Thank you Dr. Digesu!

We are so grateful having found Dr Digesu when we moved to London from Dubai. We would always thank Dr Digesu for making our family complete!! His expertise is why we have our son!! He was able to help us conceiving within the first 4 months of going to him. Dr Digesu even got up in the middle of the night to deliver our baby! His staff are highly skilled and experienced, compassionate and caring!! I will continue to have Dr Digesu as part of our family!!

Dr. Digesu has a unique way of caring for all his patients with patience, kindness and compassion and I am just so thankful to him and his amazing staff! I have to admit that despite being extremely busy, Dr. Digesu still manages to take the best care of all his patients. He goes above and beyond basic measures to ensure everything possible goes right. I have been under the care of a different consultant, but now that he has taken over the care of my pregnancy, I feel an extreme sense of relief and that me and my baby are in the very best hands. God bless him! Both me and my husband cannot be happier. We simply love Dr Digesu!!!

Dr Digesu has been incredible! He is caring and understanding. He gives you all the facts and really makes you feel calm and reassured. I have gone to see many doctors in the past and he by far has been the most knowledgeable and caring I have ever met.

I have been with Doctor Digesu for the past 9 months and what a joy to have been her patient. I have been suffering from urinary tract infection all my life. Since he has treated me I have been infection free and had my life back. I would recommend him to anyone!

Dr Digesu is also my obstetrician and I do agree he is the most amazing Doctor I have ever met. He helped me when I was pregnant 7 months ago and saved my life when I had preclampsia. He knows what to do and how to take care of his patients. Dr Digesu has always been kind and sweet to me and it has been a joy being his patient. I am so grateful and delighted to have chosen Dr Digesu as my obstetrician.

I always wanted to deliver at Lindo Wing in view of its reputation. I was so confused when Lindo Wing provided us the list of Consultants as I did not have any idea who to pick. When we met Dr Digesu, both me and my husband were very impressed. He was very attentive, answered any and every question that we had. He made me feel comfortable and that he was willing to listen to me. We feel so lucky to have chosen Dr Digesu as our obstetrician. He delivered our son three months ago and it was a smooth birth. Great Doctor. Highly recommended.

I have been coming to Dr Digesu for years! He has delivered my girl 4 years ago and now I am pregnant with my boy. Like most we have had our ups and downs with pregnancy but Dr Digesu has truly been there for me. We are so grateful to have met Dr Digesu and have him as my obstetrician. The most kind, sympathetic, understating, and knowledgeable Doctor I have ever met. The front desk provide excellent customer services, nice office and nice people. Simply they are the BEST! I highly would recommend Dr Digesu too, especially for high risk pregnancies.

I have been coming to Dr. Digesu since the birth of my first son and I have 3 boys now. Dr Digesu is one of the best doctor I have ever met!! He is very patient, helpful, and an expert in the field. I would not go to anyone else! The front staff is great, especially his nurse. You will be in safe hands with Dr Digesu as he truly will do everything he can to help patients get the best care. A wonderful experience every time! Highly recommended
