About Dr Keith Duncan

Visit Dr Keith Duncan's Website Here

Dr Keith Duncan is a highly regarded expert and leading consultant obstetrician in London. With over 30 years' experience, Dr Duncan has delivered more than 4,000 babies both in the NHS and as one of Europe's top private obstetricians. His areas of expertise include childbirth, caesarean, antenatal care, multiple pregnancies, ultrasound and high-risk pregnancies.

Dr Duncan graduated in 1989 with a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MB ChB) from Leeds University. He went on to undertake training in the North of England before relocating to London for his specialist training in maternal and foetal medicine. In 2001, he was awarded accreditation as a sub-specialist in maternal and fetal medicine. From 2003 until recently he held his NHS role as Consultant in Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.

He has now left the NHS to concentrate on his new project Dr Duncan Birth, delivering at The Portland Hospital and consulting and scanning on Harley St. Dr. Duncan is also now offering online consultations to serve patients beyond London.

His personable and calm approach has gained him the reputation as a first-class practitioner in multiple and high-risk birth situations, as well as a holistic approach to low-risk birth. He is renowned for his hands-on approach, down-to-earth manner and meticulous attention to detail, making him a popular choice with both first-time mothers and a loyal following of repeat patients. He is a strong supporter of personal choice in childbirth and listening to the individual needs and wishes of each patient. Whether it's water births, caesareans or hypno-birthing, his philosophy is to provide a positive birth experience for all parents to be.

As a member of the British Maternal Fetal Medicine Society, for over 10 years, Dr Duncan served as the representative for London and the South West at the prestigious Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists taking an active interest in global women's health. His research interests focus on ultrasound scanning and development in utero, having been one of the pioneers of the use of MRI in fetal assessment for which he was awarded his MD thesis.

We couldn’t recommend Dr Duncan enough. From the first email all the way through to the delivery of our baby boy we knew straight away that we were in the right hands. Every scan was full of reassurance and professionalism and our questions were answered with 100% clarity. Having direct contact with Dr Duncan throughout my pregnancy was really beneficial to me and he would always answer straightaway no matter how big or small the question. We will definitely be contacting Dr Duncan again for any future pregnancies we hopefully have.

I had the best experience with Dr Duncan. As someone going through first pregnancy and birth for the first time, which can be both scary and overwhelming at times, I really needed that extra reassurance and support. Dr Duncan was always there to answer my questions, talk me through any concerns, and make me feel reassured and safe throughout the whole journey. His knowledge, patience, and supportive approach made what could have been a stressful experience feel so much easier and more enjoyable. He was always available when I needed him and would also check in, which made me feel very well looked after. I couldn’t recommend him more highly and will definitely be coming back!

Dr Duncan is the best of the best when it comes to obstetric care. His expertise, coupled with his calm and reassuring approach, gave me an enormous amount of confidence, particularly when I experienced complications during the second half of my pregnancy. I particularly appreciated that Dr Duncan personally carried out all of my scans and was so easily contactable with any questions or concerns between appointments, which I know is not the case with all obstetric consultants. Being able to text or call him at any time of day or night and receive immediate, clear and considered advice and reassurance was invaluable. It helped put me at ease during what were, at times, quite stressful periods of my pregnancy. Dr Duncan also went to great lengths to put together a delivery plan that was highly tailored to my medical needs. As a result, when the day of my caesarean section arrived, I felt completely reassured that I was in the safest possible hands with him and the team at The Portland. The procedure itself was carried out with the highest level of skill and care, and my recovery has been much swifter than I had anticipated. I cannot recommend Dr Duncan highly enough. I will genuinely miss having regular appointments with him, but very much hope to return for baby number two in the future! He is not only an exceptional obstetrician, but also a genuinely kind and caring person who is clearly invested in his patients and wants to ensure they have the best possible pregnancy and birth experience.

Dr Duncan was an exceptional consultant throughout the pregnancy and beyond. He is a kind and caring consultant and always easily contactable. Col his Secretary was also outstanding dealing with all the administration. We had a relatively complex pregnancy and throughout it Dr Duncan offered great advice and kept us calm throughout the process clearly demonstrating his incredible expertise and experience. We could not recommend him enough and will certainly be back if we are lucky enough to have a second child. Thank you Keith! Best wishes, The Elliott’s!

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...

I cannot recommend Dr Duncan highly enough. He delivered both of my daughters, and I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else with my care. Throughout both pregnancies and c-sections, he was calm, reassuring, exceptionally knowledgeable, and always took the time to answer every question I had, no matter how small or silly. I always felt listened to, respected, and completely involved in every decision. Dr Duncan has a wonderful way of explaining things clearly, giving honest advice, and making you feel completely safe and cared for. His professionalism is outstanding, but what really sets him apart is his kindness and genuine compassion. I am incredibly grateful for the care he gave me and my family and will always look back on both births with immense gratitude because of him.

My experience with Dr Duncan has been excellent - he is attentive, accessible at any time and could provide reassurance and support whenever it was needed. His confidence in what he is doing and great experience translated into my confidence at one of the most important times of my life. Thanks to Dr Duncan my baby girl came to this world easy and without stress, healthy and happy. I really grateful Dr Duncan for taking care of me.

Dr D is a no nonsense obstetrician - who always calmly dealt with our questions - and was available to answer anything on WhatsApp at all hours. He never made us feel like anything was stressful and for our planned c section he ensured we were armed with the plan to feel as in control as possible. He is the best and we will return!
