Friendly and relaxed

We had the privilege of being under Ms Shalini Chawla’s care from week 33 of my pregnancy for the delivery of our first baby at the Portland. 1. Why we chose Shalini My husband and I were very impressed and reassured with Shalini’s extent of experience and position as post-natal lead at world renown teaching hospital UCL. We also found Shalini incredibly approachable and down to earth straight away from our first interaction with her. 2. Pregnancy During my pregnancy Shalini ensured that we saw her in person every week and was extremely thorough in making us aware of all of the delivery options open to us; talking us through the practicalities and realities of each type of delivery. This was extremely valuable as first time parents, as this level of detail was not provided by our midwives or NCT and really assisted us in being armed with the correct knowledge to make the best decision on when we should deliver and which type of delivery would be most suitable. We had planned a natural delivery but in the last week of pregnancy I felt some reduced movements - upon sharing this news with Shalini, she travelled 2 hours to see us at 11pm at night, leaving her husband’s bday to review my CTG scan. This is generally completed by a mid wife and discussed with a consultant over the phone. We were truly touched by this and it really demonstrated the utmost dedication and care Shalini delivers to her patients. Following the CTG we decided to arrange a last min elected c section - Shalini ensured that we were fully informed and happy with our decision at every stage and always reassured us of our options. 3. Delivery On the day of my surgery I was extremely anxious and Shalini was so reassuring - coming to see me before the C section and even during the C section, calming me as the Anaesthetist completed their procedure on my back. She made the moment that my baby arrived so special - I will always remember it - and I feel so grateful that she was the one to deliver my baby. Shalini came to see me everyday that I was at the Portland and I felt so supported during my recovery - she also consistently liaised with my mid-wife to ensure any additional tests and medication were being managed. 4. Post-delivery Since leaving the hospital Shalini has continued to always be on hand providing providing me with the utmost care. Shalini kindly offered to take my stitches out which even the Portland midwives said is normally completed by a local community mid wife and not a consultant - I felt very grateful to have Shalini complete this as I was very nervous about having my stitches out. All of the doctors and midwives that have seen my scar (7 days post c section) were extremely impressed by how neat clean and well healed it was. And to date my scar has not been painful. 5. Communication Shalini was in regular contact with us from day 1, always responding quickly no matter what time or day of the week it was - My family would even tell me off for contacting Shalini so much because she is so responsive! Over the last 3 months that I have been under Shalini’s care she has really felt like a close family member / confidant who happens to be an exceptional obstetrician and i will miss being under her care and our regular appointments. 6. Conclusion Words cannot express how grateful we are to have had Shalini as our Obstetrician for the delivery of our first baby - my husband and I regularly discuss how lucky we are to have come across her profile and how we cannot fathom having another baby unless Shalini is available to take care of us again!

Mr Wimalasundera supported me throughout my twin pregnancy, through to birth. He is a fantastic consultant and I would recommend him wholeheartedly. Throughout my pregnancy I felt that Mr Wimalasundera was an ally and trusted adviser. He is clearly a specialist in his field and also offers a measured, kind and supportive approach. I always felt in extremely safe hands and I trusted Mr Wimalasundera’s judgment. His skills as a surgeon are excellent. My c section went extremely smoothly and my recovery was fantastic, which I credit to Mr Wimalasundera entirely! I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to Mr Wimalasundera if I were to become pregnant again. Indeed I’d be delighted!

He has been very approachable and attentive, explained the process and also kept in touch throughout the process

I have just completed an egg freezing cycle with Dr Jones, and I couldn't have been more impressed with the experience. Dr. Jones is an exceptional fertility specialist whose expertise and compassionate care made a stressful process actually enjoyable! From the initial consultation, he took the time to thoroughly explain the process, using data and evidence, which really solidified my decision to go ahead with the process. Throughout the cycle, Dr. Jones was consistently attentive and supportive. He reviewed every scan and updated me with my progress at every step. The level of personalized care I received was outstanding; I always felt like a priority. I recommend Dr Jones wholeheartedly and will be back to see him again for another cycle over the Summer!

Really knowledgeable and kind.

He had lots of time for me and listened. The procedure was gentle and I felt relaxed and comfortable in his presence

Lovely lady made me fill very relaxed

I saw Mr Jadhav previously in Jan 2023. So felt comfortable to see him again. He explained everything clearly and happily answered my questions.

It was my first baby so I don’t have experience to compare but I trust Professor Jauniaux 100%
