Professor Ranjit at the HSCFW is highly professional, caring and very knowledgeable. We truly felt in great hands having had a scan with him for the 30week growth monitoring. Highly recommend.
Professor Ranjit Akolekar is clearly a complete expert in his field, and this is very apparent from the beginning of the appointment with him. However, he is also incredibly kind, compassionate and understanding. He takes the time to listen to your concerns, and explain everything he is doing. I wish we had found him for my first pregnancy!
Professor Ranjit Akolekar is absolutely exceptional. He addressed all of our concerns comprehensively and completely. We were in the midst of serious worry about our baby after some concerning findings on a late growth scan and he was able to reassure us so much that we left with a completely different outlook. His attention to addressing our specific concerns and answering our questions has helped us profoundly. We are so glad we found this service and are immeasurably grateful for the care we received. We will be recommending Professor Ranjit Akolekar to everyone who will listen. Thank you so very much.
Professor Akolekar is a very experienced and kind doctor, with incredible insight and knowledge, great bedside manner and is extraordinarily good at what he does. He has a lovely team and has been supporting us for years. All I can say is thank you with all my heart.
One of the best experiences I’ve had. Professor Akolekar clearly understands how to engage with his patients in an incredibly empathetic way. He immediately understood what kind of information I would need to make me feel at ease. Very personable and just overall a great doctor
Professor Akolekar has had strategic oversight over our latest complex pregnancy; after supporting my wife and I during our two previous pregnancies (including one stillborn). Professor Akolekar has taken decisive actions; making prompt referrals and liaising with other stakeholders: health car professionals in order to support us as a family and more importantly to ensure the appropriate interventions were available when our son was born. Professor Akolekar has always made time to see us; answering numerous emails, returning telephone calls and answering questions in a face to face capacity.
Really took time for me and to make sure I understood everything well.
Professor Ranjit Akolekar’s knowledge is incredible. He took the time to thoroughly explain everything and carefully check our baby for any abnormalities, giving us complete peace of mind.
Professor Akolekar has been amazing during our pregnancy and visits to the clinic. His attention to detail in scans is fantastic, and he always takes the time to explain what everything means so we feel fully informed on our baby’s development. Professor Akolekar has really taken time to go over my worries and check my concerns , which has given me so much peace of mind. I feel completely reassured that everything will be checked and we will be able to make the best informed decisions for the safe delivery of our baby.
