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!
Dr Duncan was great, very professional and clear in presenting information. The birth went extremely well and he was able to address my individual requirements and needs, with daily checkups as well. Overall very happy with outcome and safe delivery of my beautiful baby girl
Couldn’t be more pleased with Dr Duncan. Great communication throughout.
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
From start to finish, the experience was absolutely amazing and I could not in any way fault it. Dr Duncan is incredible and I cannot recommend him highly enough!
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.
Thanks to Dr. Duncan and the wonderful team, my baby arrived safely and my experience was far more positive than I ever expected. I’m so grateful for their expertise, kindness, and dedication. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Duncan to anyone looking for an exceptional doctor.
Clearly a very skilled obstetrician and popular amongst patients
