Very helpful and clear consultation with Dr Bakalis. Helped me to make a well-informed decision about whether or not to take Heparin, using knowledge from expert clinical networks and latest research. Even offered a follow-up phone call the following day after further consideration of my decision. Great care.

Explanation

Our first interaction with Spyros happened when I decided to go for an extra ultrasound in addition to the standard maternity checkups offered through the NHS. The results from my NHS maternity checkups were usually sent by post without explanation and it was difficult to discuss anything with a consultant since the care is usually midwife-led. Spyros’ ultrasound screenings and care really reassured me as to the health of my baby and myself and made the journey to delivery much more pleasant and relaxing. Prior to the care with Spyros, we had talked with 3 other private consultants, as well as contacted 3 further consultants. Spyros by far was the best match for us. My pregnancy turned out to be high-risk and so I was glad I had found Spyros before then already. He always laid out his plans clearly with detailed reasoning, thoroughly explaining why he recommended certain steps. He was very patient, answering my and my partner’s questions, and we never felt excluded from the decision process. His explanations were detailed but at the same time easy to understand. He was very accommodating in terms of our schedule and easy to contact and quickly replied when any concerns occurred. In summary, he is very professional, thorough, patient and always listens to the patient, I highly recommend him. We are very happy he delivered our child.

Meeting Dr Bakalis was great. He was both able to fit us in at very short notice and spent as long as we needed answering our questions. We were able to ask detailed questions during and after our 20 week scan, and received very clear explanations on what was seen and what it meant. He was able to give these explanations in a kind and meaningful way and gave us additional recommendations where we needed. He helped us through a difficult time with great bedside manner and we so appreciated his time.

Dr Bakalis delivered our daughter (our first child) and we are very grateful for the whole experience. I found that throughout the pregnancy it was often difficult to get people to actually listen to me and take my considerations seriously, whereas I never had that issue with Dr Bakalis. He was very attentive, constructive and generally reassuring and he always took all my concerns into account. He was also incredibly available - it was easy to message or call him and he checked in very regularly - and he was always friendly and cheerful.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Bakalis and the exceptional care we received throughout our pregnancy journey. From our initial visit at 6 weeks of pregnancy to our postpartum check-up, Dr. Bakalis established a wonderful bond with us that kept us at ease every step of the way. What truly stood out was Dr. Bakalis's ability to maintain a perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness. Each visit was not only informative but also enjoyable, thanks to Dr. Bakalis's warm demeanor and genuine concern for our well-being. Additionally, I am grateful for Dr. Bakalis's flexibility in accommodating our busy schedule, ensuring that our appointments were convenient for us. Despite unexpected complications during delivery, Dr. Bakalis's highly professional approach ensured the safe arrival of our son, without any complications. Our experience with Dr. Bakalis was noting but exceptional, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking personal and skilled obstetric care. If we are ever fortunate enough to expand our family, Dr. Bakalis will undoubtedly be our first choice from the very beginning. Thank you, Dr. Bakalis, for everything.
