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.

I had a really positive experience with Dr Duncan. He was always kind, professional, and took the time to clearly explain my baby’s development at every appointment, which gave me a lot of reassurance! I felt well cared for throughout and would happily be under his care again in a future pregnancy. I highly recommend him!

We used Dr Duncan for my second pregnancy, after a recommendation from a friend, and had a fantastic experience throughout. It was incredibly helpful that Dr Duncan was able to provide all of the scans himself, as well as accommodate appointments in different clinics (this really suited our schedules!). We opted for an elective c section and the recovery under Dr Duncan’s care has been great. Would highly recommend.

Keith supported me through my first pregnancy and elective c-section, having been strongly recommended by a friend. I really appreciated how accessible and responsive Keith was throughout - he would reply within minutes to any WhatsApp messages, validated any concerns and offered scans etc at short notice to allay any anxiety. Keith was also patient as I considered which type of birth to pursue and helped me weigh up the pros and cons of the different options. I felt confident trusting his guidance given his wealth of experience and insightful advice. My recovery from the c-section was much better than expected and I believe that is largely due to Keith’s expertise and surgical skill. Other doctors and midwives expressed surprise at how well and how quickly my scar healed and my mobility returned very promptly with minimal pain. Keith was also as attentive post-op as he was during pregnancy. It’s worth mentioning that Keith’s secretary, Colette, is also very responsive, efficient, kind and empathetic. A big thanks to them both for such a seamless experience.
