Dr Malcolm Godfrey is calm and caring with patients. Patients recommend his thorough approach for pregnancy care, IVF, birth, and postnatal support. He ensures individuals feel well informed, safe, and supported; his team provides an efficient service. High patient satisfaction is evident across C-Section and early pregnancy care.
Dr Godfrey exceeded all expectations we had leading into our pregnancy. He is professional and explains all parts of the process clearly, so you never have to second guess information. He is also equally approachable and personable, which makes it easy to ask all questions you can think of. It takes a very special person to make birth feel comfortable and light hearted, we were so lucky to have Dr Godfrey and his team on our pregnancy and birth journey.
My husband and I were really grateful to have the expertise of Malcom and his team throughout our pregnancy journey. The team were always responsive with queries or concerns and I felt heard throughout the experience. Malcom in particular was very personable, knowledgeable and respectful—we definitely will have Malcom deliver future children.
We loved being with Malcolm. He was a calming presence and always listened to our wishes.
Our experience with Dr Godfrey was exceptional. I could not fault the care, communication and comfort that we were given on every visit. The trust built with Dr Godfrey during our first pregnancy and then during this one led to a very easy and nerve free delivery.
Malcolm is a very calm and professional presence at all parts of the pregnancy journey. He is matter of fact in his approach but also ready to offer a kind word of support along the way. I definitely recommend having Malcolm as you Obstetrician
My second experience with Dr Godfrey and his team was another great one. I couldn’t recommend him more for his care and professionalism. He is very thorough and takes the time to ensure you have all the information you need in a comfortable environment. Aftercare following the birth was also wonderful; visits while in hospital and it was lovely to see them all at my postnatal appointment. Couldn’t recommend Dr Godfrey and his team more.
Dr Godfrey’s expertise and bedside manner made our experience as first time parents so positive and calm
We had a great experience with Dr Godfrey. Highly recommend for IVF, pregnancy care, birth and post natal. Without him, I’m sure our dream of having a baby likely wouldn’t have been possible.
Dr malcolm was amazing, patient and understanding. I got admitted to hospital several times at the end of my pregnancy and recovery and was extremely reassured having Dr Godfrey look after me. I knew he would take the care and knowledge to ensure the right choices were made for my baby and myself. Id recommend him and his team to anyone.
Dr Godfrey is a wonderful specialist and there isn't anyone else we would have trusted more during this journey. Any questions he was happy to answer and we appreciated his patience and calmness when we had some bigger decisions to make. Nothing ever felt rushed and we felt well informed and in control of our care. To be honest, you guys are running everything very well as a team. You are all approachable and warm to speak to. I appreciate nothing being a hassle and actioning stuff quickly.
