Dr. Tom Setchell is, without a doubt, one of the most exceptional doctors I have ever met. From our very first appointment, he made me feel completely reassured, supported and safe. His professionalism, expertise and calm manner gave me immense confidence throughout my pregnancy and delivery. Thanks to him, my C-section experience was incredibly positive and I will always be grateful for the excellent care I received. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are looking for a consultant who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, compassionate and truly dedicated to his patients, Dr. Tom Setchell is simply the best. It was the best experience of my life.

I cannot rate my experience with Mr Setchell more highly. He guided me through my pregnancy with so much professionalism and calm. My baby was delivered safely and happily and my c-section was performed exquisitely. Excellent bedside manner, too. I will return to his care every time.

My husband and I have just given birth to a healthy baby boy under the exceptional care provided by Dr. Tom Setchell. We decided to avoid the NHS and take our prenatal experience private and are so incredibly thankful and glad that we did. From the very beginning we felt incredibly safe in Dr Setchell’s hands and always looked forward to our weekly appointments with him. We knew he had our best interests in mind so we deferred to his knowledge and expertise to guide us through our pregnancy journey. There’s not really much I can say other than we are so grateful to have found Dr Setchell and very much look forward to being in his care again soon if we are lucky enough to be blessed with a second pregnancy!

I cannot recommend Dr. Setchell highly enough. He delivered my baby boy and was extraordinary throughout, calm, reassuring, and completely present at every moment. He made me feel safe and cared for during one of the most important days of my life. I will be forever grateful for the kindness and expertise he showed our family. Thank you for everything.

Dr Setchell is a calm, confident presence in what can be a very chaotic and confusing time for mom and baby. He is friendly and capable and always made me feel supported and at ease. He was my doctor for all four pregnancies and delivered three of my children. I had no complications and I always knew I was in excellent care with him at the helm!

Dr Setchell delivered my baby with a C section and did it beautifully. I always felt supported, himself and his secretary Valeria answered all my questions and helped me throughout my pregnancy. Incredible healing of my scar and general health after C section. Already able to walk and go for a walk on day 3! Felt very safe and trusted Dr Setchell on the way along. This is the second baby he has delivered and did another stellar job. Thank you!
