I had a twin pregnancy and I wanted normal delivery. So many doctors I met before Dr Samina had said no to me. When I came to her, she told me what could happen and that normal delivery was possible. She was so kind throughout and Alhamdulillah I delivered my twins vaginally. She is amazing at what she does and keeps you really comfortable. 100% recommend.

From beginning to end I clicked with Samina. she is knowledgable and also realistic with what should be and can be done. She encoraged me to have a normal life during pregnancy without thinkinv too much in what should and what shouldn’t do, eat, etc… I would totally recommend her and her team to anyone during pregnancy.

I cannot recommend Dr Samina enough. This was my second pregnancy and I had practiced hypnobirthing during the first in the UK, so I had wanted to have the same experience this time around. Dr Samina listened to all my wishes thoroughly and I really felt understood by her. She was always a ray of sunshine at every appointment and I enjoyed her company a lot -she is amazing. Her staff and midwives are also amazing. Nothing is ever too much for any of them! I would go as far as to say she is the best of the best in her field. And if you are lucky enough to go with her, you’ve hit the jackpot! Words cannot express how grateful I am for the experience thanks to her.
