C&W - Keith Duncan

[Laurmarg]

Hi there,

Had anyone been delivered by Keith Duncan recently and could give me some feedback? I already had a child in another country (C section as the baby had the feet first)and I am a bit afraid that I will have another one. Do you know if he is particularly keen to do C sections?

Many thanks

He was my OB - I was very happy with him although he did not actually deliver me. We did not even discuss a section although I had had a previous natural delivery and that is again what I had. He seemed very keen for me to have the birth experience I wanted.
He is a professional and experienced and honestly I think the best thing is to ask his opinion as he will base it on your circumstances not anyone else's. I can wholeheartedly recommend his manner and approach.

Not sure when you are due to give birth ...I have my first appointment with him next week so happy to give you feedback on him...he generally has a very good reputation...but as he is popular ive heard he is a bit overworked

Gbfw - I am so sorry for your loss. Can you say what happened? I am booked with KD (and had my first with him though he didn't actually deliver me) and would be interested to hear your experience if you feel able to elaborate.

We want to share our experiences of pregnancy with readers of this site, and above all, we wish to thank Dr Duncan for transforming our experiences. As this was our first baby, we were nervous, but when doctors found out that the foetus was displaying signs of possible abnormalities – well, our world caved in completely! Naturally, we were devastated. As first time parents we had little in the way of experience, knowledge or understanding to draw upon. The doctors who found the signs of potential abnormalities always seemed to be keen to get onto their next appointment, and left us feeling as though we were not very important. Despite asking questions when we saw our doctors, and reading every useful internet site that we could find, we always felt that we had many more questions than answers.
Close friends saw how anxious we were, and proved to be angels of mercy. They recommended Dr Duncan. We are so glad that we took their advice. He was everything that the other doctors were not! He was always attentive, answered every question, discussed potential issues with us – but most of all he insisted that we re – do all of the tests we had already done and undertake another diagnostic procedure.
Imagine our relief, and delight, when he assured us that everything was going to be fine. No abnormalities! We were on cloud - nine! Not only were his diagnostic skills better than our other doctors, but his attention and emotional support made us less anxious. Now, we were so happy, having found out that there was nothing to worry about after all.
Dr Duncan stuck by us for the remainder of the pregnancy, and delivered a healthy baby. All of the post natal checks were fine. We cannot thank Dr Duncan enough for everything he did for us and we recommend him without any hesitation whatsoever.

Yours
Adam and Parisa
