Pregnancy scans with Dr Ranjit Akolekar are absolutely lovely. He talked us through everything we were seeing. He is extremely thorough and patiently scanned every aspect of baby without rush. He shares pictures at end of the scan both digital and print outs which is really nice memory to bring back. He is super qualified and we felt reassured and comfortable in his care.
Wonderful and reassuring and takes time to explain everything
An absolutely wonderful experience. I could not have felt I was in better hands.
We absolutely love coming to see the Professor. He is professional, warm and incredibly knowledgable in his field. He has reassured us beyond belief and we are very grateful to be under his care.
Professor Akolekar was kind, calm and reassuring with every piece of information given. I have history of a DVT and he took so much time and thought into explaining what this means throughout my pregnancy. I’m very grateful to Professor Akolekar for his professionalism, attention to detail and reassurance.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Doctor Ranjit enough. The quality of service from start to finish was amazing. My scan was carried out with such care and attention to detail, and everything was explained clearly, thoroughly and in a way that made me feel completely at ease. I also had my NIPT done, and the whole process was seamless and professional. The doctor was incredibly knowledgeable, reassuring and genuinely took the time to answer all of my questions. The facilities were lovely and the whole experience felt very personal rather than rushed. I left feeling reassured and really well looked after. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience
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.
We have been going for early scans and cervical length checks. I find Professor Ranjit incredibly supportive and caring in his approach.
Professor Ranjit was kind and caring in his approach to our early pregnancy appointments. He took the time to ensure we understood all of the information provoded, and we felt very supported at both of our appointments. I can't recommend visiting his clinic enough.
I have found the Professor to be compassionate, empathetic, extremely knowledgeable and a great communicator. I feel very grateful to have been able to see him during this pregnancy and just wish I had found him sooner.
