I have no hesitation in recommending Emeka. He is an excellent Obsterician and Gynaecologist and is well liked by patients and colleagues alike. He is an excellent communicator and as well as his private work, he is part of a team at a large London teaching hospital working with the latest innovations in care. He very kindly helped with the management of a family member and so I have personal experience of his high level of care.

Emeka is a very knowledgeable, accessible and reliable colleague. I regularly refer him my adolescent and young adult female patients. He is thorough but to the point, and also very kind, making what is probably my patients’ first contact with a gynaecologist a very pleasant and straightforward one .
