- Mr Akobundu Nnochiri is an incredible doctor. He understood my condition fully, was able to diagnose with great accuracy and reassured me. I felt like I was in the best hands going into my operation.
- I cannot thank Dr. Nnochiri enough for the incredible care and expertise he provided during my recent myomectomy surgery. This was my first time having surgery and from the initial consultation to the follow-up appointments, Dr. Nnochiri demonstrated exceptional professionalism, knowledge, and compassion.
- Excellent service, very efficient, friendly and professional. I have complete trust in Mr Nnochiri with my gynaecological help. Thank you so much for all you have done.
- I will classify my experience with Mr Nnochiri as top tier. He provided a highly professional environment for consultations; my 1st & 2nd consultations were straight to the point, he took the necessary steps to help me make a decision about my procedure. He didn’t hesitate to answer any questions during and after my initial consultations, this gave me confidence moving forward. I was carried along every step of the way, continuously receiving information about decisions that were taken for my care and safety. I couldn’t have been in better hands for this procedure (laparoscopic myomectomy). My recovery has been smooth, I’ve had standard follow up appointments and excellent communication. I would highly recommend Mr Nnochiri he’s a true definition of a consultant.
- Excellent care from an attentive doctor who adapted the care to my post op / recovery goals. I am 4 weeks post op now, limited scarring and very informed about how to keep up my recovery. 100% recommended.
- I had my Myomectomy surgery done by Dr.Nnochiri. He has been amazing all throughout the process. He patiently explained everything we should know about the process and answered any questions or doubts we had. He made it look very simple but we know how meticulously he carried out the surgery and following checks. Really thankful to him.

- Dr Nnochiri is a surgeon who cares about his patients. From the first consultation, Dr Nnochiri made me feel at ease and really understood the issues and how this was affecting my life. You can tell that he has years of experience caring for his patients. His explanation of the procedure and recovery process was done in a way that I could understand and feel comfortable with. I believe this helped both mentally and physically.
