We had an excellent experience with the team at the Pregnancy Clinic. We attended whilst I was having early pregnancy complications as we did not want to wait for the NHS EPU appointment which was over a week away. I was able to get an appointment very quickly at the clinic with the Professor. From my early scan through to the follow-up blood tests and communication around the results, everyone was incredibly kind, professional, and supportive. Professor took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of our questions, and made us feel at ease during what has been a very difficult time. The care was thorough and compassionate throughout, and we never felt rushed. Their support made a difficult time much easier to navigate. We would highly recommend the clinic to anyone seeking early pregnancy care (or beyond). We hope we can use the clinic again in the future.

My partner and I visited the clinic after receiving concerning news on an NHS scan and hoped for some reassurance and clarity. Professor Akolekar took time to listen to our concerns and then completed a thorough scan and consultation, he explained every step of what he was doing and a plan moving forward, we left the clinic with all our questions answered. The communication after the scan was excellent and all follow up actions were completed immediately. Professor Akolekar acted with care and compassion throughout and really put our minds at ease. I would definitely 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.
