I had wonderful experiences with Dr Bacon as my OB through my two births. At the appointments throughout the pregnancy as well as the births he always explained everything so I always felt well informed and at ease.
Dr Bacon is relaxed and confident. He listened well and answered all of my questions and concerns. He took my concerns seriously and never brushed them off. He explained concepts and the necessary steps well and had a clear plan for my obstetric care.
Made my pregnancy such a positive experience and eased my anxiety with your professionalism.
I couldn't recommend James more. I was at ease my whole pregnancy knowing that I was in the best hands - he is incredibly smart, down to earth and pragmatic. I knew that if anything went wrong he would know the best course of action but equally he was empowering and kept general pregnancy nerves at bay. Big fan!
Choosing Dr Bacon was the best decision we made for our pregnancy and birth. From the first appointment he filled us with confidence, and his calm approach to our care helped us navigate every stage of the process with ease. We were so happy he was with us to deliver our baby boy safely and look forward to meeting with him again when the time comes for baby number two!
We had the best experience with Dr Bacon! He listened to every query we had and provided great advice and care. I had a very normal pregnancy but visited the hospital a couple of times for monitoring - Dr Bacon was always contactable and provided reassurance. He is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. I will definitely be choosing Dr Bacon to deliver my future kids!
Dr Bacon was approachable and understanding throughout my whole pregnancy. He explained all details clearly and always made me feel heard and supported.
I have had 4 pregnancies managed by Dr Bacon. 3 wonderful vaginal births and a D&C for a missed miscarriage. In each pregnancy, Dr Bacon was friendly, supportive and caring. I was never rushed at any appointment, had any questions answered, and he was always willing to make time to see me if I was feeling anxious about the pregnancy. At each delivery, Dr Bacon was relaxed and made me feel at ease, whilst also ensuring the safe delivery of my children. I appreciated his humour and our conversation in the good times, his care and compassion in the hard times and his skill and professionalism at all times. He also has wonderful practice staff who are also caring and supportive and ensure that you very rarely have to wait very long in a waiting room for your appointment (which is quite impressive for an Obstetrician!)
I had my second Bub and - James have been my obgy for both babies and he is the best!
James is an amazing obstetrician, the perfect mix of caring and casual; calm and relaxed but skilled and experienced. He supports autonomy and choice with clear expert guidance.
