- We are endlessly grateful to Dr. Peeva for guiding us through the birth of our son, Baby Hector, with such grace and skill. From start to finish, our C-section felt less like a clinical procedure and more like a masterfully orchestrated event—reassuring, and deeply human. Dr. Pee
- I’d highly recommend Dr Peeva. She’s been absolutely brilliant supporting us through the birth of both our children.
- I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Peeva. She cared for me throughout my entire pregnancy and delivery, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Dr. Peeva is a truly caring, thoughtful, and wholehearted doctor who was there for me every step of the way — not just physically, but emotionally too. She made herself available on weekends, after hours, and even called me whenever I needed reassurance. Her presence and attentiveness gave me an incredible sense of calm and security throughout my journey. Dr. Peeva’s technical skills are outstanding. Every consultation and scan was thorough, warm, and meticulously detailed. She always took the time to explain everything in a clear and technical way, ensuring we felt informed and empowered. She listened carefully to what was important to me and took it all into account. My birth experience was undoubtedly the best day of my life, and it was largely because of Dr. Peeva. We discussed my birth plan in advance, and she was flexible and supportive, helping to create the most positive, personal experience possible. As a beautiful, thoughtful touch, she even gave my baby a little teddy bear, which is now a beloved keepsake. Dr. Peeva’s surgical skills are extraordinary — my scar is barely noticeable, extremely tidy and neat, like it was done by a plastic surgeon. My postpartum recovery was seamless, and I felt supported every step of the way. I truly loved my experience with Dr. Peeva. Her clinic looks like a spa, beautiful and relaxing. She is hands down one of the best doctors I have ever had the pleasure of being a patient of. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for an outstanding obstetrician.
- I was under the care of Dr Peeva for the entirety of my pregnancy having decided to choose her as our Dr after reading so many positive reviews. I can confirm that she did not disappoint. From the moment I walked in she made me feel confident and reassured about all the pregnancy worries. One big plus is that she is doing all the scans herself so I did not have to go to a sonographer which is extremely convenient and it makes a lot of sense. She was always available for my questions - which I can admit were not just a few - as soon as possible making me feel supported. She offered good advice always respecting my views and desires even when our views were slightly different. During delivery she tried her best to achieve my preferred birth plan even if it was a rather complicated assisted birth. Her cosmetic stitching skills are on point also - the GP and midwives who examined me a few weeks later could not tell where the episiotomy scar was. I could go on about Dr Peeva’s fantastic care however, to put it briefly I would recommend her to anyone who is in doubt.
- Dr. Peeva was an obvious choice for us based on her wealth of international experience/training and the fact she does the scans personally. We liked her direct, but empathetic, communication and the birth went incredibly well. We felt we were always in the best possible care.
- Delivering a baby in Dr Peeva’s care was the best decision I have made. I had full confidence that I could trust her to make the right decisions. The continuity of care throughout pregnancy, birth and postnatal was amazing and Dr Peeva does it with such a warm personal touch.
- I came to Dr. Peeva for an ultrasound. She was very professional and thorough, conducting an ultrasound plus other tests to asses the status of my pregnancy. This gave us both a great deal of reassurance regarding the situation. I would highly recommend her care.
- Dr. Peeva is simply brilliant! Her knowledge made me feel like I was in the best hands. The labor was incredibly smooth and personal thanks to her support. Dr. Peeva is a wonderful, kind & cheerful person - someone you love to have by your side in those special moments.
- Dr Peeva made such a difference to my pregnancy and birth. I had some complications during pregnancy, but thanks to her expertise she delivered my son safe and sound. On a personal level, she was very kind and supportive. I’m very grateful to her.
- Dr. Peeva is simply the best obstetrician in London. She delivered my second child at the Kensington Wing, making it a reassuring experience. Her exceptional care, attention to detail, and numerous follow-ups showed she truly cared. We are beyond grateful!
