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.

Dr Keith Duncan was fantastic, caring, smart, thorough, and provided all the answers and resources needed during my pregnancy and post partum period. I had a complex pregnancy and was rest assured that Dr Duncan was my Consultant as he was superb in diagnosing, referring me to the right specialist and ensuring all was resolved immediately. My baby wouldn’t be here and healthy without him and his team. I have immense gratitude for his care

Dr Duncan was such a pleasure! He was very thorough with all my scans and reviews. He made sure to make himself available at all hours of the day via whatsapp and answered all the burning questions and concerns I had. My actual delivery went super smooth, he was very encouraging, made sure the atmosphere was as calming as possible and made sure I didn’t tear while pushing. 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.
