Dr Bakalis was our OB during pregnancy and delivered our baby, and we had such a positive experience throughout. The things that stood out: - He is extremely personable and both my partner and we instantly felt at ease. - He always took time to listen to our concerns, even the small things, and took them seriously. - Towards the end, we monitored closely and frequently stayed in touch by messages in between consultations. - Dr Bakalis does the ultrasound scans himself, which means continuation of care and needing only one appointment. - His expertise in foetal health was invaluable in putting our minds at ease. - He was really supportive and flexible about our choice of delivery and we could have changed our minds even last minute if we wanted. - My healing postnatally has been quick and my scar has been described as beautiful. I would highly recommend Dr Bakalis and we would go with him again should there be a next time.
