There are no words that can truly express our gratitude to Dr. Duncan. From the very beginning of my pregnancy, he provided exceptional care, combining outstanding medical expertise with genuine kindness and compassion. Throughout a very high-risk pregnancy, he was always available, incredibly reassuring, and remarkably responsive whenever we needed him. When my placenta praevia suddenly started bleeding at 6 a.m., Dr. Duncan reacted immediately. His rapid assessment, calm leadership, and excellent clinical judgment led to the life-saving decision to deliver our baby without delay. I have no doubt that his actions saved both my life and my son’s. Dr. Duncan has an extraordinary ability to manage the most complex pregnancies. He knows exactly when to intervene, makes the right decisions at the right time, and inspires complete confidence. His judgment is second to none, and his technical skills are simply exceptional. My Caesarean section was performed with extraordinary precision, and my recovery exceeded all expectations. The scar is remarkably neat, the healing has been outstanding, and I could not have hoped for a better outcome. It is a testament to his remarkable surgical expertise. Beyond his incredible medical abilities, Dr. Duncan truly cares about his patients. He listens carefully, explains everything clearly, and makes you feel safe even in the most frightening moments. A very special thank you also goes to Colette, Dr. Duncan’s secretary. She has been absolutely wonderful throughout our entire journey. Always available, incredibly responsive, kind, effici...

Dr Duncan made us feel totally at ease from start to finish. No question we asked was too silly and his calm manner made us relaxed throughout. He was so attentive - we had regular scans to keep track of the baby’s progress and appointments were very easy to schedule with patient Collette - who managed my baby brain excellently!

I had a vaginal birth with Dr Duncan and the whole process from beginning to end was very smooth. He was very thorough with all my scans and reviews. He was always available via whatsapp to answer any questions I had. The vaginal birth itself was an amazing experience, he made sure I was comfortable and I felt very safe. He also made sure I didn’t tear which was one of my greatest concern. I would highly recommend him!

Our journey with Dr. Keith Duncan has been nothing short of extraordinary. He delivered our first child at the Kensington Wing an experience we thought could never be topped until he delivered our second at the Portland Hospital. Throughout, his calm and collected approach was a beacon. When others sowed fear about blood levels or urgency, he reassured us with precise, accurate information. The anticipated blood loss was minimal, the procedure flawless, and the scar nearly invisible. He was always available even at midnight, promptly responding to our concerns. After each visit, he wrote detailed letters to our GP and copied to us, ensuring continuity of care. Alongside his PA Colette, he provided care we can only describe as world class. We are profoundly grateful for his expertise, warmth, and unwavering support. Truly, he was like an angel, watching over us with indescribable skill and compassion. We are forever grateful.
